Kofi Kingston: Vince McMahon, CM Punk Friendship, Mania history (Patreon)

I had a great conversation with Kofi Kingston about some of his past WrestleMania seasons. We spoke about Vince McMahon once making a snide joking remark, and Chris Jericho telling Kofi he had to try and go fight Vince. Kofi did, in order to not lose respect, and Vince McMahon shot a double leg takedown. Kofi applied a whizzer and stopped it, and joked about it being on a plane and saying the ref would not have awarded Vince McMahon two points. He was very gracious of the opportunities Vince McMahon has given him and the variety of different situations he's been afforded over the past decade-plus.

When asking him about hosting in the past, Kofi was honored to be in the same breath as other major names that had that role. It was one that not a lot of talent get to be in, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. 

We closed by touching on his friendship with CM Punk. Obviously it was a close on before Punk left, but Kofi said thaey didn't keep in touch once Punk left. However, he's happy Punk is back on Fox and got to explore doing something he cared about and wants him to keep doing well. He spoke of the bond they built being in the business and on the road together so much.
