They did the same thing with jinder which pissed me off because they gave him the belt solely to market him to India, all the while he’s Canadian and barely a mid card level talent
I remember a New Day segment many years ago (cuz they been together almost 10 years) where they went into a cardboard time machine and Kofi came out and he was Jamaican again. That was great.
@@chideraalexanderdex547all came down to one man. Vince McMahon. If he thought you were funny, he will put you on TV. But now with Vince gone, hopefully wrestlers won't need to lower themselves below their worth.
@@chideraalexanderdex547 Because when he was working for a different promotion there was already a wrestler with a Ghanaian gimmick so he came up with the Jamaican one. He became quite popular with that gimmick and WWE signed him.
@@Loverboy207 that's a solid point. The crazy thing is that Vince had a very strange, almost robotic sense of what was funny. He was like a machine that felt the formula to being funny was something being outrageous or bizzare. The more the better Just listen to him talk about how the whole Katie Vick stuff was the height of comedy
"He was Ja-fakin', but he stayed in the lane." from the New Day vs Usos "Rap Battle" is still my favorite. First time hearing the CM Punk one though. 😂
This 11 year old video popped up yesterday & Kofi had his old gimmick. Confused the hell out of me for a second because I assumed he just randomly started doing his old gimmick again now that New Day is done.
On purpose, and to fix it, they had Triple H just casually call it out while in his DX character so everyone could be aware that WWE knew they dropped the accent thing the funniest way possible and just move on.
“No, I don’t do that anymore; I don’t do that anymore” 😅 Pretty sure Punk was still there when he’d dropped the accent, lol (Looked it up to be sure) Punk drafted to Raw in ‘08… HHH asks the best question ever in ‘09
Kofi told this story on Chris jericho's podcast and it's hilarious. Apparently his mom broke kayfabe and told BBC news that he was faking the accent. 😂
U know I always taught that scene with triple h. Happened because I taught kofi was learning English accent. As a kid. I taught kofi was from Jamaica and familiar with talking like this.
Same thing Eddie Guerrero had to go through. 😂 So it's funny when you watch his WCW promos as the leader of the LWO but speaking with an American accent.
It’s too bad a guy on RUclips used this clip to claim WWE has been a racist company since the 1980s despite Kofi Kingston himself having the final say on the accent
Well they didn't make him it came from his previous wrestling company gimmick that he choose to do himself. The only thing enforced is to stay in character thing but that's just WWE in a nutshell

I saw you one the plane to Tampa and my heart dropped when I saw you Im also going to the rumble
@@LEVIPKXD100lucky bro
Sorry I got it with the SOS instead.
No🤣

Triple H asking Kofi “Aren’t you supposed to be Jamaican? What happened to your accent?” will never cease to make me laugh all these years later 😂
I wished Kofi answered with,"Aren't you supposed to be European? What happened to YOUR accent?"
@@kenterminateddq5311 fuck that would have been good
Love your pfp. Up the irons🤘
*french@@kenterminateddq5311
Triple H was just wanting an excuse to black up again
"Aren't you supposed to be Jamaican!?" is one of the best character call outs in WWE history.
“Aren’t you the son in law of a federally convicted sexual abuser?” Would’ve been a good comeback for Kofi
@@VLE-Grimacewow you must be real fun at parties
@@harleygunn4783 bout as fun as your boy Vince
@@VLE-Grimace if by that you mean not even a fraction of how fun Vince would be then your right
@@VLE-Grimacecome on man, not like this
He just woke up and it was a new day.
Yes it was.
Nice
But no more

Santino’s whole gimmick was that he’s Italian when in reality he’s actually just Canadian baffled me as a kid
He's Italian and Métis(Indigenous group in Canada)
They did the same thing with jinder which pissed me off because they gave him the belt solely to market him to India, all the while he’s Canadian and barely a mid card level talent
Roddy Piper is Canadian not Scottish and jinder is Canadian rather than Indian
Everyone is from Canada apparently
I thought Santino was italian
The cobra
I remember a New Day segment many years ago (cuz they been together almost 10 years) where they went into a cardboard time machine and Kofi came out and he was Jamaican again. That was great.
The time machine when they were feuding with The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch).
"2009 WAS MY BEST YEAR, LEAVE ME HERE!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Still an AMAZING moment.
His face in the Triple H one always cracks me up lmao
Triple H is also guilty of dropping his accent
I love your username 😂
He didn't have an accent thought@@kidneystonermusic
@@mikeberg6407thanks goat 🐐
The crowd pop for “aren’t you supposed to be Jamaican” is hilarious😂
fun fact. the jamaican accent was actually his own idea
Exactly. Why even do it? He is ghanian and not even Jamaican

@@Mr.Sax. thanks for the information. I didn't know
Do you know the name of the promotion, I'd like to research that guy with the ghanian gimmick
Why nobody never ask triple H what happened to his accent 😂😂😂
Because we don't want him to think it was a good idea and try to bring it back
@@christopherlee8989Great answer. Because it was worse then Terror Rising. But he has a point😂
Probably because they’ll bring up the fact that his father in law is a criminal and he’s next
@@VLE-Grimacebruh he isn't next
@@vegetalover9297don't even worry about grimace. That no life is under like 3 other comments bringing that shit up out of nowhere
Plot twist: Kofi is Jamaican doing an American accent😂
Hunter asking Kofi what happened to the accent is so hilarious, it never fails to make me chuckle
Scott Hall’s wcw debut was hilarious in that his Razor Ramon accent would come and go.
I remember that episode with hhh that shit made me question life 😂
"What happened to your accent?!" With that reaction, Kofi created Poggers. It's my headcannon. Sue me!
Let's hope for Kofimania part two in few years down the road ❤
I think it would have to be next year at the latest, Kofi and his generation don't have all the time in the world. I'm down tho
I kinda wanna see kofi finally win a royal rumble. It should've happened ages ago with all those crazy saves.
Gonna be interesting if Kofi is in the rumble
Goat wrestling/interview channel
Santino really is a crazy talent, funniest guy next to r truth..
Straight Ghana roots, it’s entertainment and all but damn honor at least the actual ethnic background
Its crazy how all the love fans had for him disappeared just as quick as the accent
Don’t forget about C.J Perry… aka Lana. Spoke with a Russia accent while partnering up with Rusev.
"He was Ja-fakin', but he stayed in the lane." from the New Day vs Usos "Rap Battle" is still my favorite. First time hearing the CM Punk one though. 😂
Kofi Kingston is so good idk why but he is
"Jamaican me crazy"
"Jeff Harvey"
The legacy of Mike Adamle can really be defined by a phrase and a proper noun.
Cm punk making the joke everyone has made a million times was so amazing!!! Cm punk truly is one of the best on the mic..
As a half Jamaican when triple h asked Kofi that I was cracking up 😂
Should a tell it deh same place Triple H English accent deh 😂😂😂
Anybody remember when they made Apollo Crews do that shi 💀
Idk Kane’s and Undertaker’s accent from hell is pretty tough to keep up
waiting for Kofi’s come back to Triple H. “Aren’t you supposed to be French?”
This 11 year old video popped up yesterday & Kofi had his old gimmick. Confused the hell out of me for a second because I assumed he just randomly started doing his old gimmick again now that New Day is done.
It’s his face after H calls him out 😂😂 knew he fucked it
My favorite was The Usos calling him out. "It's Kofi Kingston, Mon." 😂😂😂
I miss the old wwe magazines.
The craziest thing is he actually comes from a line of royalty in Nigeria. And a Nigerian Prince gimmick would have been money.
He's Ghanaian
😂😂😂truth and miz's ficial expressions when they told them its a mixture of tea
Real question is was that accent cut on purpose or an accident
On purpose, and to fix it, they had Triple H just casually call it out while in his DX character so everyone could be aware that WWE knew they dropped the accent thing the funniest way possible and just move on.
Real question is why didn’t CVV ask about Vince McMahon and his r**e allegations
@@VLE-Grimace
Because talent was told to "lay low."
@@VLE-Grimacebuddy this was probably prerecorded, you sound dumb
@@JameyMcQueen unacceptable
"Aren't you supposed to be a French aristocrat?"
I think I remember that moment with Tripple H live lol
Santino still using the accent in TNA , man is committed.
“No, I don’t do that anymore; I don’t do that anymore” 😅
Pretty sure Punk was still there when he’d dropped the accent, lol
(Looked it up to be sure)
Punk drafted to Raw in ‘08… HHH asks the best question ever in ‘09
hunter hearst helmsley definitely had a accent at some point too 😂😂
Randy beat it out of him. 😭
I was there and armory cried out of joy
Cm punk is a master troll 😂
I would love to see an interaction with heel kofi and face punk
I still can't believe cm punk brought up a Mike Adamle quote
This could happen to anyone longer you live in the U.S
People forget that Kofi and Punk, had a amazing tag team career
Id say Kane prolly understood
Cant blame kofi really, imagine having to front a Jamaican accent every time you are on telly 😂 glad he can be more himself
Now let’s see if anyone talks to him
Couldn't be less Jamaican if he tried
The big show here looks like the body of crane from the 90’s TMNT cartoon
His name is Kofi 😂😂😂 Anyone outside of the US would know that is not a jamaican name
SOS I HEAR DEM SHOUTIN
"Aren't you supposed to be jamaican?"
I would've said "aren't you supposed to be French? Monsieur Helmsley?"
SOS you hear me shouting 😂 kofi Kingston when he first hoped at the scene intro music was fire 🔥
If Kofi comes out rn with the SOS song entrance wwe fans would tweak out that’s a fact
Maybe. I would. Even with the insane heat he has right now.
Real yard man know he was a fake 😂
Dont forget about Apollo Crews 🤣 i actually thought that gimmick had potential. The idea of it, not really any of the execution 😂
What happened to yours HHH? Blue Blood....
Or his French accent
I love how Jinder got bigger reactions in Canada than he did India
lawd haf mercy
Kofi told this story on Chris jericho's podcast and it's hilarious. Apparently his mom broke kayfabe and told BBC news that he was faking the accent. 😂
God bless Mama Kingston
Isn’t Triple H supposed to have a French accent when he debuted as Hunter Hearse Helmsley
Hearst** and blue blood😂😂😂
It was Jean Paul Lévesque gimmick that he was French not Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Plot twist he IS Jamaican and he's been using the american accent since then.
Tripple h asking that qeustion knowinf him and vince are the ones who wrote it out of the character got me dead
Scarlet witch did the same thing lol
Ring back S.O.S🗣️
It’s so funny, I never knew why he even had it. I was like he’s not even Jamaican, he’s Ghanaian 😭🤣
Isn't hhh meant to be french
Yeah but like he quit the Jamaican thing way before punk even left lol
Having to use a fake accent for an interview with the magazine of the wrestling company that YOU work for is lobotomy tier
Kofi was like 😮
Maybe I’m a fucking geek but I noticed kofi was rocking the Travis Scott mocha Jordan 1s
Only he and I can understand
The Undertaker 😮
What about Lana, she even had to do the accent on Total Divas, I distinctly remember her having the accent one season and it was gone the next
U know I always taught that scene with triple h. Happened because I taught kofi was learning English accent. As a kid. I taught kofi was from Jamaica and familiar with talking like this.
Aww I wish they showed Cody behind Kofi in that moment cuz he was breaking character so bad 🤣
Same thing Eddie Guerrero had to go through. 😂
So it's funny when you watch his WCW promos as the leader of the LWO but speaking with an American accent.
i just realized punk left the same year kofi dropped the sos gimmick
Triple h once walked around with a British accent if you all remember
He wasn't British it was Connecticut upper class accent but he was used to have a French accent also
Apollo Crews says hey.
What about hornswoggle. I always remember him being from Dublin Ireland and he isn’t actually from there
They’re both Canadian … hell so’s the interviewer! Everyone but cm punk is Canadian lol
triple h will bury any and everyone for a quick pop from the crowd 😂
Ok, but he still didn't answer the question😂😂
I missed the whole triple h what happened to your accent thing i found out that he didn't have an accent when he put throw paint on Randy's car
It’s too bad a guy on RUclips used this clip to claim WWE has been a racist company since the 1980s despite Kofi Kingston himself having the final say on the accent
Amd i thought my accent was horrible. Well someone wants to do it 😂😂😂😂
He was jafakin
Isn’t HHH supposed to be French?
"Blue Blood"
He started out as French then as a blue blood to whatever the hell he is now
Kofi and santino sitting in a tree 😜😂🤟🏽
I like the fact that kofi ain’t even Jamaican and they made him have a Jamaican character 🤣🤣
Well they didn't make him it came from his previous wrestling company gimmick that he choose to do himself. The only thing enforced is to stay in character thing but that's just WWE in a nutshell
Wait so santino accent is fake ?
It's called selling out
Or adopting one like Apollo lol
Wait a second I’ve got a question matter fact I’ve got a problem… the rest was history.
Him? He's from Boston!
