It’s been a busy week in the WWE the last couple of weeks. Thanks to a draft show, Jim Ross is no longer on Raw, as he traded spots with Smackdown’s Michael Cole. After the drafting of HHH to Smackdown, C.M. Punk (with the help of Batista) brought one of the big 3 belts to Raw, beating Edge. However, one of the more surprising stars is Kofi Kingston, a proud son of Jamaica who upset Chris Jericho to win the Intercontinental Title. Oh, wait, did I say he was Jamaican? Sorry, it turns out he is really Ghanan. In an era where kayfabing (acting like storylines are real) is dead, this really is stupid. Both of his parents are academicians, and although his mother doesn’t necessarily seem to approve, his father does. However, not everyone agrees, and because of that, I now have one of my all-time favorite quotes…
But Mr Sarkodie-Mensah’s friends in Ghanaian academia, like Raymond Osei-Boadu of the University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, are horrified.
“I cannot bring myself to understand,” says a disconsolate Mr Osei-Boadu.
“Why would a person who is very capable of going to graduate school decide to jettison all that for concussion in the face?”
Concussion in the face. Sounds like fun for the whole family.
