March 4th 2004 is the last time Brock Lesnar wrestled on weekly TV! #SDLive Lesnar vs Kofi for the WWE Title will happen on SDLive in two weeks! pic.twitter.com/CUPoD8p8c5
KofiMania was a great story and it was amazing to see the man defy the odds and rise to the top, after being stuck in the mid-card since forever. But even the best story in the world must come to an end someday. It's been months since WrestleMania and it's time for a change in guard, in my opinion.
The viewership for RAW has good and bad weeks, but SmackDown has not fared well in terms of live viewership. Honestly, a change at the top may be what's necessary to bring viewers back to the fold once again. As great an athlete as Kingston is, I wonder if the representative of the company throwing pancakes into the crowd is the best look.
With other challengers before him, there was little chance of Kingston losing his prized crown. But with Brock Lesnar, chances are very high indeed.
