Fifteen years ago today, Kofi Kingston made his debut with WWE. Kofi showed up on the January 22, 2008 episode of ECW, and he would go on to have a long and successful WWE career. He posted a brief video to his Instagram account, which you can see below. He captioned it with:
“Time is f*d up, man… 15 years…how?! Seems like it was just yesterday that I was smiling my way through the nervousness on this entrance in Charlottesville, Virginia. I had no idea where the road would lead, but boy, have we come a long way…
15 straight years of bumps, matches, tours, stories, laughs, friendships, brotherhoods and sisterhoods…(well I’m not a sister, but you get it; family sh*t, bruh!).
So many memories. And I am grateful for them all.
Thanks to my wife for her love and support throughout this adventure. I’d not get to do this if it were not for her. I love you @earthmamarising!
And finally, thank you all for riding with me on this incredible journey. And we ain’t done yet…”
Kofi has won 25 titles during his time in WWE. He has been a tag team champion 14 different times, a US Champion three times, an Intercontinental Champion four times, and a WWE Champion once. He currently holds the NXT Tag Team Championships with Xavier Woods.
