If you didn’t understand this energy, at the time it was a conspiracy that their had not been a Black WWE champion, only World Heavy Weight Champion. Some argue that the Rock was the first Black WWE champion, but some say it does not count for he is half Samoan. Kofi on the other hand, is Kumasi Shanti, Of Ghana. And he is the first ever fully Black to win it for us, And it was also like a Kick in the face to that theory of vince not liking black people.😆
Vince wanted MVP to take the championship back in like 2008-2010 (sometime around there) believe it or not. I remember MVP mentioning it in an interview.
Well Vince still had DX come out in blackface and Godwinns wear a confederate flag so that is enough right there full stop to hate Vincent Kennedy McMahon and any WWE higher ups till the end of time for being awful human beings
I started recording right when the ref hit three and I'm screaming "KOFI!! KOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIII!!" a few sections over to your left LOL god. What a moment.
I'm a huge Daniel Bryan fan and cheered him all match except for when Kofi hit that Trouble In Paradise and the ref counted three and I, just like everyone else in attendance with a heart, went nuts for Kofi's win!
First ever black american WWE Champion for a guy who has been a mid card wrestler for his whole career and one of the most underrated superstar of the last decade One of the most diserved wins by far
I get really happy seeing moments like this, just knowing there are people out there actually or racist, like they legit wanted Kofi to win cause he deserved it.
I don't know if Vince just thought a black champion just wouldn't draw money (and there's reason to believe that to be true in the past), but it certainly opened the door and three black WWE champions in the span of just three years. (Plus Bianca and Sasha in a main event two years later.)
And then WWE had him job to Lesnar... No offense Vince, but you can't have the talent of today job to the stars of yesterday, hand over control to Triple H
@@dumbname939 im half english from my fathers side half native fijian islander myself. Thats not african american in any sense neither is the rock. His father is canadian african but having his mothers mix they have been putting over isalnders for years as vicious warriors. Never a proper African American
Man I was there for this one too. Grown men and women crying lol. Great time
Women cry all the time
@@Welso__ Spoken like a true virgin.
Me too
@@Welso__ incel moment
@Win Wules You're a virgin, too. Thanks for outing yourself.
Great victory but terrible how they had him job to Lesnar so damn quick and im pretty sure he got no rematch too
Yeah that was bs
Oh boo hoo he already had the title reign he was never meant to get
@@Podgorski37 man shut yo racist ass up
@@205_Arky hes telling the truth vince said on smack down wresetlmania 35 was kofis LAST chance at wining the wwe title
@@205_Arky kofi wasnt supposed to get that spot at wrestlemania it was supposed to be kevin owens idiot fuck people who keep saying racist
No diss to New Day. Would have been great to hear S.O.S.
Would’ve liked New Day to come out first that being Big E and Xavier Woods but then Kofi come out to his old green and black attire playing SOS
I was there and the entire stadium went crazy, one of my favourite moments at an event
same g i was there but my bro had a headache so he begged us to leave but I legit made us stay to wait til kofi won😭 we missed cena

“Bryan’s winning this”
xD
Wanted this for drew McIntyre too!🙄
I really hope drew gets the title back, he deserves to have it in front of a crowd
@@samwwrl98ify He won the title back!
There's a video of a Scottish pub's reaction to Drew's title win.
Coronavirus ruined Drew title reign
@@StrivedeLaLear That was actually at the rumble.
Not gonna lie. Still brings a tear to my eye
Brock Lesnar: “and I took that personally”
Yo anyone else hear the hesitation on 3, it brings me joy cuz in that split second every said “ yes, please is it happening” then a big pop 🥲
when i tell u i felt the goosebumps on my face
Ubelievalbel, just pure joy from everyone. Thank you Kofi!
I was there live, god the feeling when it happened was so crazy. I just slouched back in my chair so happy.
Thank u for that experience 🥲
i just got goose bumps again bro greatest feeling of goosebumps ive ever had rewatching this
I was there too I was sooo hype and nearly crued because he finally got his moment after all these years
This still makes me tear up
I started recording right when the ref hit three and I'm screaming "KOFI!! KOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIII!!" a few sections over to your left LOL god. What a moment.
I knew it was gonna happen but I still couldn’t believe it happened lol
Exactly lol. It was like "Kofi's gonna win" the whole match but when it happened, it was still surreal
KofiMania all journey was very emotional
Gosh I had goosebumps, what a pop, man!
Can confirm it was absolutely like this everywhere in the arena
I was there! What a moment!
I cried when this happened. Hard.
I was there it was so fun wrestle mania 35 was my first wrestle mania and I loved it
I'm a huge Daniel Bryan fan and cheered him all match except for when Kofi hit that Trouble In Paradise and the ref counted three and I, just like everyone else in attendance with a heart, went nuts for Kofi's win!
That pop though
OMG YESS PERIOD KOFI
First ever black american WWE Champion for a guy who has been a mid card wrestler for his whole career and one of the most underrated superstar of the last decade
One of the most diserved wins by far
i was there too remember when this happened
i was there crying bro
I seriously wish Kofi came out with his S.O.S. theme..
WWE can give you the most exciting moments only to be ruined down the line because there's never any follow up or follow through
Me finally waiting fir kofi to get a world championship after 12 years
Y’all don’t act like you really cared until he got the push.
Always a big kofi fan
Everyone wanted Kofi to win, he's one of those wrestlers that really deserved it. Over 11 years and he finally got the opportunity to win it.
I was their for the event the pop was so loud.
what was so damn amazing about this was we never seen a black wrestler wwe champion, and also we never thought we would see kofi as champion
I thought we have had black wrestlers who have won the WWE champion like Booker T
I get really happy seeing moments like this, just knowing there are people out there actually or racist, like they legit wanted Kofi to win cause he deserved it.
You started singing new day rock and then the whole stadium started singing
Should have been the main event.
Damn I loved this but man missed opportunity to use his OG theme even if it was for one night
This moment and Bianca Belair winning the Royal Rumble brought tears to my eyes.
2 months later........
I don't know if Vince just thought a black champion just wouldn't draw money (and there's reason to believe that to be true in the past), but it certainly opened the door and three black WWE champions in the span of just three years. (Plus Bianca and Sasha in a main event two years later.)
Would’ve been better if Justin Robert’s would’ve announced the winnner
New Jersey
I did it for the people
This is what's wm really means
I was rhere
whats sad is it took kofi 11 years just to lose the title 6 months later to brock lesnar
better six months than half an hour later....right Rey Mysterio?
Was this the reign that ended when Lesnar beat him in like 5 seconds?
Sadly, yes. I don’t know what possessed the WWE to have Kofi lose like that.
@@kyledixon2571 I know, it's pretty obvious
The ultimate farmer, the beast incarnate BROCK LESNER
A shame they buried him now
Do you know how bad it hurt Vince to have to make a black champion???
Not gonna lie kofi vs brock could’ve been a good match it didnt have to be a squash
And then Brock came back
And then WWE had him job to Lesnar... No offense Vince, but you can't have the talent of today job to the stars of yesterday, hand over control to Triple H
So messed up that it took so long for them to write in the script a black champion.
yeah I wanted mark henry to win it from cena back in 13
There’s The Rock
@@dumbname939 The Rock doesn’t count.
@@dumbname939 im half english from my fathers side half native fijian islander myself. Thats not african american in any sense neither is the rock. His father is canadian african but having his mothers mix they have been putting over isalnders for years as vicious warriors. Never a proper African American
@@dumbname939 You're right. It absolutely counts.
Your description is a lie. Disliked.
You want to hear a crazy pop watch everytime stone cold glass shatters in the attitude era this is not a pop
I beg to differ this was very much a pop.
The most beautiful WWE title win in the company's history 🥲
So is Kofi the first gay African American wwe champion ?
Gay?
no? the dude has a wife and kids. where did ya even get that from?
The dude is literally married with children the hell are you smokin? Atleast do some dang research first
I turned off the tv and stopped watching, I hate Kofi he sucks
2nd worst champ of all time to Jinder Mahal. This why wrestling dead today.
Jobbers as champs 😂
God I miss live crowds😔
Should've been the main event.
