Real Medical Reason for Kofi Kingston Chest Problem
The truth is Kofi Kingston is suffering from a medical condition called Pectus excavatum. It is a disorder where a person’s pecs muscles which are connected to the sternum and breastbone along with the ribs are pulled inward the chest.
This disorder may be caused by birth or after the time of puberty. In 2008 when Kofi Kingston debuted in WWE he was young and muscular. He was just 26 years of age and was having bigger and muscular pecs. But as he started getting aged around 2017 when he was 35 years of age he started losing muscles and all his gains. That was the time when the Kofi Kingston chest issue started catching the viewer’s attention. It’s not like Kofi’s chest gap is getting bigger but actually, his pecs were getting smaller along with the age which makes the chest center gap look bigger.
The Pectus Excavatum is not a deadly disease but it could certainly make the body part look disoriented. As the wrestler is getting chopped on the chest, week after week and year after year the nerve damage in the chest could elevate the disorder done by Pectus Excavatum.
Pectus Excavatum can be seen in other wrestlers too like The Undertaker, Crish Jerico and Ric Flair also, but its not as worse as Kofi’s condition. Most of the wrestling fans think Scott Steiner belongs to the same disorder but that’s not true. Scott Steiner always had a perfectly shaped chest however the result in the chest gap of Scott Steiner is due to the medical surgery, in which a piece of flesh has been cut from his chest to save his life.
