WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston was a special guest on the “Into the Danger Zone with Chris Denker” podcast. During the interview, he discussed Big E. becoming the WWE Champion, his outside goals once his wrestling career is finished, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Kofi Kingston on Big E winning WWE title and his rise with the company: “It was so incredibly awesome. Number one because it took place in Boston, which is my hometown. So a lot of people in the crowd were people I knew. So, it was like I’m in my home and bringing my best friend here to get the highest accolade in the industry. And again, I can’t stress it enough, but E’s story to me is just incredible. To go to where you don’t know a lick about wrestling – he was a fan of Goldberg back in the day, but he’ll tell you himself, he wasn’t a hardcore wrestling fan. But to go from that to the pinnacle, and it’s only through hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and the will to be better and not rest on your laurels and trying to find ways to get better. I don’t think anyone does that better than E. So, to see where he’s come from that perspective of somebody working their tail off and busting his chops, that’s what you strive for. That’s what you’re always told as a kid. If you work hard, you can achieve anything you want to achieve. He is a shining example of that. On top of that, he’s one of my best friends. I know on a personal level just how much work he’s put in and his mentality on getting better.”
