For the past few years a lot of people have been wondering why Kofi Kingston has never gotten a real push. He hasn’t had anything to do of any sort of significance since he did the program with Randy Orton a few years back, making many think that maybe he doesn’t have the respect of Vince McMahon.

Well, that might not be the case. In actuality, Vince might have more respect for Kofi than a lot of people, because he once stood up to him and the two got into a physical altercation.

According to Chris Jericho in his latest book, there was once a situation where Kingston and McMahon got into with one another and things ended up getting physical.

"While on a plane, McMahon made a snide remark to Kingston, saying, “maybe one day you’ll get over.” Jericho wrote about Kingston looking visibly infuriated, and catching up with Kingston upon departing the plane. Jericho told Kingston to return to McMahon, and challenge him to a fight. At first, Kingston seemed to think everything was one big rib. Though, with Jericho having built a close relationship to McMahon, he knew McMahon, a man with great seriousness, was not joking.Kingston would heed Jericho’s advice, asking McMahon if he had a problem with him. The two would throw verbal jabs each other’s way, eventually leading to a physical collision. It began when, out of nowhere, McMahon attempted a double leg takedown of Kingston. The two then proceeded to wrestle around for a bit."

After all of that, Jericho went on to say that the two actually ended up laughing off the incident with one another.

Still, this is pretty interesting to learn about as you rarely hear about anyone getting to McMahon like this.

As for Vince telling Kofi to get himself over, though–well, he was at one point until Orton reportedly put a stop to that.
