Brian Fritz of AOL FanHouse has a new Q& A online with Kofi Kingston. Below are the highlights:
- Experience in the Money in the Bank ladder match:
It's definitely going to help. Money in the Bank is one of those matches that gets better each and every time. As everyone knows, at WrestleMania Money in the Bank is the match that people really anticipate and look forward to. It's become a staple match. Now, this is the first Money in the Bank pay-per-view that we've had and you don't get one but you get two Money in the Bank ladder matches which is just unheard of. It's huge. Again, just to go off topic a little bit, to let you know how big this is, Mattel has come out with Money in the Bank figures and rings which is specific to this pay-per-view. We're just going all out from all types of angles. This is something we're looking forward to. I'm sure what's going to happen but I guarantee that it's going to be a very, very exciting match to say the least.
- Being moved from Raw to Smackdown:
I thought it was a very good opportunity to be honest. Smackdown was the only roster that I had never been a part of. I was with the Raw side, I was with ECW when I first came out. I had a few appearances on Smackdown but I never actually had a chance to be on the roster. So now that I am, I think it's been an opportunity to be one of the main guys in there and be one of the guys, one of the flagship guys on the show. I thought it was an opportunity again to step up and kind of encounter a new frontier. It's been very good so far and we'll see where it all goes.
- If he wishes there was an NXT when he was first getting involved in the business:
I don't know. I'm not sure. I can't really complain about how things happened for me. I had to work my way from the bottom to where I'm at now. I don't think I would change anything. I think the NXT program is definitely an opportunity. It puts multiple rookies on the stage in front of the WWE Universe where they might not necessarily have gotten that opportunity in the past. As far as it being easier or harder I don't think it's either or. It's just different. It's a different way for guys to come up through the ranks and an interesting way for people to get to know these rookies.
- If he can physically prepare for the Money in the Bank ladder match:
Oh yeah, It's definitely going to take a toll. I think as far as preparation, that's what you have to prepare for. Your body is going to go through some, it's definitely going to go through some pain. No one has gone through a Money in the Bank ladder match without bumps and bruises and some scratches and nicks. But you go out there and you don't feel it. Actually, I remember the first Money in the Bank match I was in, I didn't feel any pain until I got in the shower. I had all these cuts and nicks and bruises that were really stinging because of the hot water that was pouring down on them. It's one of those things are far as preparation, you can't really prepare for it because there are other guys who are all trying to do the same thing that you are and are just as hungry as you are. It's just one of those things were you have to take advantage of that moment and hopefully when your window of opportunity is open you have to be able to jump through it and grab that briefcase. It's definitely going to be a very exciting pay-per-view to say the least with two Money in the Bank ladder matches in one night in addition to both world championships being on the line. It's just going to be a stacked pay-per-view and we're excited about it and looking forward to it.
