Kofi Kingston Recalls Being Told He Was Too Small for WWE

Do Savannah recently interviewed WWE tag team Champion Kofi Kingston, who was promoting this Saturday’s WWE live event at the Savannah Civic Center in Savannah, GA. Below is advice Kingston offered kids who want to pursue a career in WWE:

“I always said I would be a WWE Superstar, and they laughed at me. They looked at me and said I was too small. You have to be 6 feet, 8 inches, you have to be 275 pounds and you can’t be a WWE Superstar. Down the line, 15 to 20 years later, those same people are asking me for my autograph.”
