Kofi wants Lamar Jackson in a WWE ring

Impressed with Jackson’s sheer athleticism and energy to showboat, Kofi told TMZ Sports, “I would love to see what Lamar could do in a wrestling ring. He would be incredible.”

No matter how inept his statement may seem, he seemingly has a point and a point to ponder on. Jackson‘s athleticism belongs in the ring as much as it does in the gridiron, and to see him perform in the WWE would be a delight to one’s eyes.

Although he drew much criticism from Rich Eisen and other NFL analysts for his ‘dumb move’, but his energy would be appreciated in the world of Vince McMahon. “I’d give it a 10 out of 10,” Kofi said of the flip. “I don’t really care about the form … He was just out there showing off.”

The unnecessary flipping in the end zone may not be a very strategic move to perform in the NFL, but would certainly draw much attention when performed inside a ring with other heavily built beasts. “It’d just be a matter of getting the psychology aspect of putting matches together and stuff like that,” Kingston says.

Kofi’s remarks may intrigue the Ravens quarterback, but that idea seems far-fetched. However, the very notion of this idea would certainly be an overnight hit. Imagine if Lamar could ever in his lifetime could give a cameo in the ring.
