Kofi Kingston is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most athletic men to wrestle in the WWE, as in ever. His long limbs, incredible leaping ability, and remarkable balance have led to a historic WWE career in which he has been a tag team champion longer than anyone else in the company's long history.

He's also had a great number of spectacular saves over the years. Kofi has sprung from the ring to the protective black retaining wall surrounding the ring, only to leap back into the match. He's gone over the top rope but landed on his hands to avoid elimination. Once, he even landed on a stack of pancakes cleverly put in place by his New Day teammates.

Kingston managed to avoid elimination twice during the rumble by walking on his hands, but once again failed to win the match. It seems like it will be Kofi's fate to forever be on the Royal Rumble highlight reels but never actually win the match. Better luck next year, Kofi!
