About Alex »

Born and raised in Charm City where we talk smashmouth football and thats it. We watch and wait for the Orioles to win for a change and chill until we can start talking football. I'm happy to say that I root for most of the local teams and have not sold out.

What is the best way to push a young superstar? By giving a MITB contract, or letting him win a Royal Rumble match?

Here's my take...

Kofi Kingston made a big impact but can he live up to the night he became a star?

That doesn't mean that I enjoy short pieces. I just think that you could have compacted things to focus on the change in his character. That's the key point here, I think.

Nothing really wrong with your piece. I enjoyed both of them in fact. Jeremiah's just flowed a bit better. He talked about Kofi's former shtick but didn't do it too long. You went and gave a more detailed background, which is fine, but overall, I would grant yours a B+, while his an A. Both were good, though.
