Kofi Kingston wants to wrestle Barack Obama

Kofi Kingston has been part of the WWE for several years now. He has wrestled pretty much everyone who has come through the WWE and has established himself as one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time.

During a recent interview with the Battleground podcast, Kingston was asked which historical figure he would want to wrestler. Kingston replied that he would want to face Barack Obama.

“I mean, maybe… I’d like to wrestle Barack Obama because it’d kind of be like wrestling The Rock? You know what I’m saying? Barack out there, people say they have similar voices and all that. Maybe Barack Obama. Just to say that I say that I wrestled, just to say that I beat a president. Because if I’m wrestling, if I’m getting to book the match, yeah, maybe Barack. It’d be a good little match," Kingston said. [H/T - Fightful]

It will be interesting to see if Kofi will be able to win the King of The Ring tournament this year.
