With all due respect to Becky Lynch, Kofi Kingston was absolutely the man of the weekend for wrestling fans both in the greater New York City area as well as across the globe. Andreas Hale and his crew at Sporting News took the time to put together a video package of fans of all creeds and color celebrating Kofi’s historic WWE Championship win at WrestleMania. The emotion is raw throughout these clips as they’re right after Kingston gets the 1-2-3 on Daniel Bryan and clips are mixed in with Kofi’s impassioned speech to fans at WaleMania V on Thursday night at Sony Hall in NYC.
Myself and the @sportingnews team put a lot of work into turning this around. Thank you to everyone who shared their reaction videos with us. This is special so please share
