Big Show To Kofi - The New Day Gimmick Will Kill Your Career

[Green Ranger]

WWE star Big Show did a Q&A at the comic con event in Sacramento during WWE Money in the Bank weekend, and you can watch the Q&A below.

During the appearance, Show admitted he once told Kofi Kingston not to do the New Day gimmick because he felt it would kill Kingston’s career.

Later I had to go to Xavier, Kofi and Big E and said, ‘OK, what I said two weeks ago… completely disregard it.'”

I mean, Show had a point. The OG New Day gimmick could've railroaded all three of their careers had they not changed it up.

The first several weeks were horrible...lol@their reaction at Rumble 2015

Have they ever said what the original plan was?

At one point they seemed to be on some militant shyt which had us going , then they came back on some religious shyt singing in vignettes.

When's the last time Big Show was over? 1999?

 

[The Rainmaker]

Oh, yeah, that brilliant career he had before the New Day gimmick. Beating Randy Orton once a year and being the spot guy in the Rumble and MITB.

can't lie even though new day is one of the hottest acts in the entire company, i still don't believe this has truly been the peak of kofi's career. i can't recall a single memorable or lasting moment, just a sea of comedy sketches.

he didn't exactly soar during his solo run, and yes it became real stale after all that time... but for awhile he really excelled in that spot and no matter what he always remained a fan favorite.

It added a couple of years to Kofi run. He'd be nearing the end like Ziggler and Swagger otherwise. It completely saved Xavier and likely detonated Big E's

 

[CBoz]

Kofi had that Orton feud push that went no where.

 

[JuvenileHell]

Lets keep it 100, the New Day gimmick saved their careers, but only because they switched it up from over the top baptist preachers to whimsical characters with A1 trolling.

 

[Saiyajin]

i always liked the Big Show

 

[Golayitdown]

Had a joke queued up for Show and everything, but I realized this was right at their debut, so he was kinda right

 

[Da King]

Big GOAT stay dropping knowledge


Kofi may had got more TV time with c00n Day but he also killed his credibility in the process by becoming a cartoon character

 

[YvrzTrvly]

I dont think some of you realize that new day is their graavy train and it aint stoppin anytime soon
