[LG]

- WWE Champion Kofi Kingston recently spoke with The Boston Globe for an article that included a look at his Winchester High School wrestling coach, Larry Tremblay. It was noted that Kofi accomplished his version of the American Dream with the big title win at WrestleMania 35, a version shaped by his journey to the United States at age 2, his values of leading by example, and the skills and dedication he developed while wrestling in high school.

"Leading by example is important," Kofi said. "Representation is important to give African kids the inspiration to do whatever it is they wanted to do. I don't think there's a better story of the American dream than me."
