>>18834819Kofi didn't look like a strong champ, he never did, but he was scrappy. He should NOT beat Lesnar, but if he kept Lesnar off balance, and narrowly escaped his grasp a few times, if he got a good shot in... it would have made him look respectable in defeat.
Give him 4 minutes of death defying spectacle before succumbing to the inevitable, instead of 4 seconds of nothing. Some of the best wrestling stories have been about defying the odds, in this instance the odds that Kofi would take a suplex from Brock and get up is slim, the small defiance is worth more than just a perfunctory squash.
