The topic of who is the current best wrestler in the world has sparked a debate among fans and Kofi Kingston recently revealed his thoughts on it.
The debate was sparked by a comment from Jim Ross who called Randy Orton the best wrestler in the world right now and he picked the viper over the current AEW champion Kenny Omega.
Kingston discussed the objections of some fans over the remarks during an interview with Daily Star. He said that the whole premise is really subjective and explained that the industry is about connecting with the crowd:
“The whole premise of ‘who is the best’ [is] really subjective, as far as Randy is concerned, I think he has the ability to do so many things so well. A lot of people think that because he doesn’t do a lot of moves, he’s not good, but that’s simply not true. The industry is not about the moves;
It is about being able to connect with the crowd and express what you’re thinking without saying things a lot – to make people watch you.”
Kofi Kingston On The Longevity Of Randy Orton
Kofi Kingston then praised Randy saying that every step he takes has a purpose. You can’t take your eyes off him, and being able to do so is an absolute talent.
Per the New Day member, this makes you great and not just good. He said that because of his longevity alone, you can’t have the conversation about the greatest without Randy Orton in it:
“To be able to last so long… he’s even more compelling now in a lot of different ways. So as a performer, you can’t have the conversation [about the greatest] without having Randy be in there, from the longevity alone. That doesn’t happen by accident.”
Randy Orton signed with WWE in 2001. He became one of the marquee WWE stars when he joined Evolution in 2002. With 14 world titles and over half a dozen other accomplishments, Orton has never looked back since then.
