A cool reminder from your WWE champion that his victory over Daniel Bryan on April 7 at WrestleMania 35 resonated all over the world. Especially in his uncle’s Ghanaian village:

My mom sent me this video clip from the small town of Techiman in Ghana. Last Sunday, my uncle had a gathering at his house where the townspeople could watch Wrestlemania. • In seeing this, I am overcome with pride and joy. I’m still blown away by how many lives we touched. This video is a reminder of why we do what we do: to lift spirits and inspire others. I am so grateful to be in a position to do so. • Last time I was in Ghana was in 1994. I think it might be time to go back and visit... • #wrestlemania #wwe #ghana #sankofa #yearofthereturn #inspire

Just your latest reminder that KofiMania was a fantastic story, Kingston is a great babyface titleholder, and his win in MetLife Stadium meant a whole lot of things to a whole lot of people.
