Kofi On Being IC Champ, Chyna Wrestling??!!!

Kofi Kingston has an blog on WWE Fan Nation website and here is what the new IC Champ has to say:

What a difference a day makes.

This statement has never been truer for me, especially within the course of the last week. On Tuesday night, I wrestled representing ECW, and less than 24 hours later, I was drafted to Raw. On Sunday, at Night of Champions, I defeated Chris Jericho and on Monday, I walk into the Raw locker room as Intercontinental Champion.

Monday, June 30, had a different vibe to it, for sure. I did not know just how I would be received. First of all, the competition that exists between the three brands is no secret. Each superstar strives to make their brand the best; so inevitably, there is a sense of “sibling rivalry�. Having started my career with ECW and now coming to Raw instantly provokes this rivalry.

I treaded cautiously, keeping my guard up, but to my surprise, there were many Raw Superstars that did congratulate and welcome me to the roster: Shad and JTG of Cryme Tyme, Women’s Champion Mickie James, and John Cena. Even “Hacksaw� Jim Duggan gave me a thumbs-up and a “Hoooo!� which I’m pretty sure he meant positively! This helped to ease the tension.

Second, since everyone’s goal is to be a champion, anyone with a title is a marked man. The Intercontinental Champion especially, since the title holds so much prestige. I had to do a photo shoot with the title and the photographer wanted me to make some “mean� faces, but I couldn’t stop smiling because I was thinking of all the history behind the title.

Pat Patterson, the first IC Champ, still has a heavy presence behind the scenes, and now I hold that very same title that he introduced into WWE. I currently hold the same title once held by such legends as “Macho Man� Randy Savage, Ricky “The Dragon� Steamboat, “Ravishing� Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Bret Hart, The British Bulldog, Shawn Michaels … the list goes on.

These men are Legends in our industry, and I am on the same list as Intercontinental Champion. Talk about big shoes to fill!
