It's hard to really think Brock squashing Kofi was smart when the purpose is to lateral into a feud with Tito, to me. Kinda makes WWE feel cheap when you're just using it as a vehicle for washed up MMA guys.

And I feel like Kofi had some potential for good matches he just wasn't given the right guys/match structures for it. The problem is that Kofi at his best is playing as the underdog. Despite building him as that to an extent he only really had that feel vs Bryan (and Brock, but lol that match)-- all the rest was sort of on a meta level and wasn't really how the feuds were run. Some more self-awareness of Kofi being out of his depth would have helped a lot. Like to me it felt like a WWE selling you something John Cena type underdog "wow how will he overcome these odds!!" more than a legit underdog for all but the beginning and the end of his run.

Case in point the Orton feud they kept calling back to 2008 when young pup Kofi beat him up which really hurts the idea that Kofi is not on Orton's level, even if he really shouldn't be. It's funny to think that WWE acknowledging history was a mistake but I feel it was that time, and a big one at that.
