This week, Nick (@nickpiccone) and Vaughn (@VaughnMJohnson) reacted to Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton this past Sunday at SummerSlam, which was parroted by some people who said Kofi Kingston’s reign has been boring and it’s time for a new champion.
The guys discuss Kofi’s reign and why it’s not boring, and also why it’s one of the best title reigns in recent WWE history. Also, when is it time to decide a new champion is needed?
And King of the Ring is back! The tournament will take place over the next few weeks on RAW and SmackDown Live, with the Finals at WWE’s Clash of Champions pay-per-view in September. What are some names you think will be in the tournament and have a good chance to win? And will it mean anything?
But first, we send our thoughts to the Philadelphia Police Department.
