WWE WrestleMania 35: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly 

The Good - KofiMania

Kofi Kingston is the NEW WWE Champion

They said it couldn't be done. He was labeled a B+ player and relegated to the mid-card, as WWE corporate went out of their way to ensure that Kofi Kingston would never receive a world championship opportunity. The supremely talented Kingston didn't whine, he didn't complain. He showed up to work each and every day, kept his head down, and performed to the best of his ability. Then suddenly there was magic and with the WWE Universe solidly behind him, Kingston earned a WWE Championship opportunity at WrestleMania.

The only problem was that one of this generation's greatest in-ring technicians, Daniel Bryan, stood in his way. Kingston kicked and clawed as if he was fighting for his own life. He fought like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders, but Kingston would never give in. He couldn't. Too many people were depending on his success. Kofi had been kept down for too long and clawing with all he had, he could now see the surface. There was light at the end of the tunnel and he could get there; if only he could muster something from deep inside.

Kingston did it with the support of his closest friends, who celebrated after his victory, hoisting the new hero upon their shoulders. Xavier Woods wept as one of his own was forever immortalized with the all-time greatest WrestleMania competitors. An emotional Woods could be heard shouting, "They said we couldn't make it. We made it to the top." He was right. This is the very top and no one could ever take this away from them.

WWE commentary summed it up with the following,

"No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter what you look like, if you can believe, you can make it happen."

Kofi Kingston is a believer and he has made believers of us all.
