In the January 2014 edition of WWE Magazine, Kofi Kingston, who was voted by fans as the most underrated superstar of 2013, had the following to say regarding the moniker:
"I don't really care what people think about me. I think if someone's underrated, that they're under appreciated. I'm fully confident in my abilities, I know every night, in my mind, that I'm going to have a good match. People feel underrated when they think they're not getting the credit they deserve. That's why I don't care that much about what people think."
