Even more so than before, 205 Live is an underappreciated brand. As a result, many of you might have missed this match. If so, you should go back and watch it now. Tony Nese and Noam Dar had a hectic no disqualification match that never faltered.

#5 Gauntlet match (SmackDown, February 19th)
And thus, Kofimania was born.
Kofi Kingston wasn't ever supposed to be in this match. He took the spot of the injured Mustafa Ali. Despite this, he was the star of the match, lasting the longest and going through several opponents before finally succumbing to exhaustion.
The match instantly catapulted him in status. Fans remembered that this was a guy that had paid his dues and entertained them for a decade. Now he was in the Elimination Chamber match.
It was to be the start of a meteoric run that single-handedly saved WrestleMania season.
