With a little help from his trusty Trouble in Paradise spinning kick to the face, Kofi Kingston has managed to create quite the legacy within the world of sports entertainment.

One thing the former WWE Champion still hasn't been able to do throughout his routinely hilarious and uplifting time as a top WWE star, however, is upgrade his stupidly brilliant S.O.S. weapon to the level of savage match-ender.

Seriously, how can anyone take one look at Kingston's flipping/rolling leg sweep slam and not instantly see the potential the incredible move has to become as iconic a finishing attack as the aforementioned flowing foot-to-jaw sequence?

It's definitely not a case of the move being too complicated or demanding to pull off on the bigger performers on the roster either, with Kingston nailing the likes of Sheamus and Ridge Holland with the S.O.S. on WWE programming.

The fact the "Simply Oh Snapalicious" has been a part of the Kofi toolkit for years at this point and has never honestly been protected enough to be accepted as an awesome new Kingston finisher, though, likely means this one will forever remain just a cool signature that will secure more pops than wins for the New Day legend.
