WWE News WWE News: Kofi Kingston comments on when he learned he'd be working a program with Randy Orton, reveals which WWE star he'd most like to work with By Jason Powell Nov 4, 2009 - 05:05 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Kofi Kingston was asked in a UK Sun interview when he found out he'd be working with Randy Orton. "I'm always one of the last people to find out," Kingston said. "This whole development has been pretty recent, I still don't know what's in store, except that there'll be some high-quality matches. You pick a fight with Randy Orton, you have to step up to the plate. I'm going to step up and try to hit a home run." Kingston also revealed which WWE star he'd like to work with. "There's a few, but growing up, Shawn Michaels was a big influence on why I watched wrestling and why I got into wrestling. He kept me tuned in every Saturday morning. To have a program or even just a match with him would be awesome. "It would bring my career full circle, because he got me into wrestling, and now here I am pursuing my lifelong dream. He didn't train me or anything like that, but he's a guy backstage who will always try to help guys like me out." To read the full interview, visit the UK Sun. [Thanks to Dot Net reader Danny Jones] Powell's POV: It's now the exception when young wrestlers mention someone other than HBK as the opponent they'd most like to work with. Other interview topics include dropping the Jamaican accent, WWE guest hosts, and why he believes ECW is underrated. HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
