Kennedy is injured.....

[hb2k]

....Injured.

From the Observer site - "Ken Kennedy suffered a lat tear said to be far more serious than the one Batista just suffered and he's out indefinitely."

This hugs.

[Tornado]

Kennedy: Dammit that hurts..................................hurts.

[Xero]

...Hugs....?

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Why is it that one person gets one injury, someone else must get it too (ex quad tears)?

[Shadow]

....Injured.

From the Observer site - "Ken Kennedy suffered a lat tear said to be far more serious than the one Batista just suffered and he's out indefinitely."

This hugs.

...Someone goes to the Allspark. Or just really sucks at spelling....

:shifty:


spelling

[Gone Mad]

Damn it, and I like MISSSTAAAAAHH KENNEDY....





...Ah, screw it. I'm bored. **walks off**

[V]

dammit he's got everything going for him right now, he might lose his steam when he comes back

[hb2k]

Yeh. It hugs the root.

Hope it's not like Carlito when his momentum cooled off when he got injured.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They'll keep him as an on-air personality, you watch.

This sucks for Mr Kennedy, but I think it will help him more than hinder him. Kennedy has been slowly removed from the spotlight recently, so when he does return, it will regenerate some of his upwards momentum.

They may as well make him a colour commentator on Velocity or something in the meantime.

[MVP]

Every young star with high potential gets sidelined in just about any sport.

[Funky Fly]

I like Kennedy in the ring, but not so much on the mic.

[Funky Fly]

Also, that's got to hurt like a bitch.

[Lock Jaw]

To keep him on TV, he should pop in through the side of the screen occassionally and go "KENNEDY" and walk off.

Or when someone does an uppercut he can pop in through the side of the screen and go "TOASTY!" :shifty:

[addy2hotty]

I think an injury update scenario like Orton's would work here.

Can imagine during a boring promo.....KEEEENNNNNEDY UPDATE.....

UPDATE

Either that, or he's finished.

Finished.

[addy2hotty]

Or when someone does an uppercut he can pop in through the side of the screen and go "TOASTY!" :shifty:


:cool:

[Cool King]

Damn, that sucks.:(

I have a feeling that because Kennedy is out with an injury, the WWE will just forget about him and when he returns, he'll just be jobbing on Velocity....








































VELOCITY!

[addy2hotty]

I didn't like Kennedy til this week actually. When he Kennedy'd that italian fan.

The curse of Addy-Markism.



Markism.

[The Naitch]

He should be the third guy at the announce table

[Xero]

He should have a Mortal Kombat announcer gimmick. Where, randomly throughout the show, he pops up out of the side of the screen and yells stuff.

*Rey misses the 619 and Kennedy pops up*

Kennedy: BUSSYYYYYYY!

[Kane Knight]

They'll keep him as an on-air personality, you watch.

This sucks for Mr Kennedy, but I think it will help him more than hinder him. Kennedy has been slowly removed from the spotlight recently, so when he does return, it will regenerate some of his upwards momentum.

Have him do backstage bits, or even join Tazz and Cole at the Announce Table.

[hb2k]

Update - Apparently Kennedy is going to have surgery, as it's a severe tear, and he will be out of action six months.

[Skippord]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
















FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

[Destor]

:y::y:




































What an over done gimmick.






































Gimmick.

[BlackDawn2024]

God damnit! What the fuck is this bullshit?! What a bunch of shit. Fuck lat tears! :foc:













......Lat tears!

[addy2hotty]

Or even join Tazz and Cole at the Announce Table.

Wouldn't happen on a permanent basis. Tazz and Cole pride themselves on only needing 2 of them.

Still the writers easily forget what they said at the last PPV.

[addy2hotty]

Here's a thought, why not co-GM of Smackdown? He could call himself President KENNEDY!


















KENNEDY.

They don't have to like it...





















...What are you ooking for? I'm not about to fucking repat myself.

[Xero]

....Yourself.

[KingofOldSchool]

Sucks for him.

[Marcyo]

...him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

LOL at all these awesome ideas. I would love it if he did backstage bits and was a third man on commentary.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Alright, just assuming he did become a General Manager, or something official, how awesome would it be? You know how they show that screen after the "Power is Back" thingo with the General Manager or the WWE logo or whatever. You can have a portrait of him pop up, then disappear, but then pop up again going with the repeating thing. And when he makes a decision, and someone tries to second guess him, it would be hilarious to hear him say "Do I have to repeat myself?". I'm a Kennedy mark.........

[Kane Knight]

The Power is Back!

...Back.

[Corkscrewed]

Sucks for Kennedy, but I'd have him on air similar to what Orton did with RNN when he got hurt.

[Xero]

Sucks for Kennedy, but I'd have him on air similar to what Orton did with RNN when he got hurt.
We now go live to a breaking Ken Kennedy Krisis.

[Skippord]

...Krisis

[Kane Knight]

We now go live to a breaking Ken Kennedy Krisis.

"And we now take you to our editorials, with Ken Kennedy's Korner."

[Fox]

It's ironic that the WWE has toned down it's style of wrestling (banning moves like piledrivers and brainbusters and telling the cruiserweights to slow down) to prevent injuries, yet they are having more injuries on a regular basis than before.

Meanwhile, their programs go to shit. Funny how TNA doesn't seem to have a lot of injuries, despite their high impact style.

[Destor]

Funny how TNA doesn't seem to have a lot of injuries, despite their high impact style.
It's called 'wear and tear' give it time.

[Skippord]

...Time

[The Naitch]

yeah I picture they give Kennedy is own show, since The Peep Show is no more

But...

The Juice is Loose > Kennedy's Korner

[Kane Knight]

It's called 'wear and tear' give it time.

So wait. Even though you have people like Samoa Joe and Sabu who have been around the block as much as (If not more than) many of the WWE injuries, it's simply a lack of "wear and tear" thatkeeps TNA from being crippled? Jeff Hardy, Raven, Billy Gunn, Six Pack or whatever he's called, Road Dogg are spring chickens and Kennedy's injury makes more sense because the WWE has wear and tear?

[ddpBANG]

It's 'cause their ring has six sides!

[Kane Knight]

That's the best reasoning I'd heard so far.

[Savio]

Stop doing the gay kennedy things you fags....























ALAAAYALALEAANALEALAHEAYAHAAYAAAYLHAYLAAHAN

[RGWhat316]

Dammit, this does suck to hear. But I guess this explains why he hasn't been on tv for the last week. But hopefully, they do give him something to do in a a non-wrestling role. We can't be with out Kennedy for 6 months!

..............Kennnedy!!!!

[ThruTheWire]

... injured.

That sucks, If he really is THAT injured, I would rather just have them keep him off TV for a while. Someone like Kennedy who is already getting a pretty decent reaction could comeback big.

[LK]

Ah well he's finished. Unless they do what Raw is doing and make it a three man commentary team, then I see no way that he will recover from this.

[James Steele]

Fuck, this is killing my c-fedding career.

[Shadow]

Are you saying that if Jeff Hardy was still on the road with the WWE...he'd be dead by now?

[PorkSoda]

How come everytime a new WWE superstar joins the roster they get injured within 3-9 months? Happened to Batista, Orton, Garrison Cade, Eddie Guerrero, Eugene, and now Mr. Kennedy.

KENNEDY!

[Xero]

Bob Holly doesn't like them and he curses them with his veteran powers.

[Kane Knight]

One can hope. :p

[Kane Knight]

Wear and tear. Even though they're new stars, the cumulative miles that have been put on that ring wear off on them.

[Shadow]

One can hope. :p

You're sooooooo lucky I can't rep you at the moment. Because I'd be neg repping you so hard....you'd feel like axel at a spelling bee.

[Kane Knight]

I made you, boy, and I can break you!

[Marcyo]

Fuck, this is killing my c-fedding career.

I'll tell you who's c-fed character is killed.

Who said the WWE was crippled? And are you trying to say Sabu is injury free? Sabu has had more serious injuries than most of anybody I can think of, he just happens to be tougher than most and keeps coming back.
Jeff Hardy, Raven, Billy Gunn, Six Pack or whatever he's called, Road Dogg are spring chickens and Kennedy's injury makes more sense because the WWE has wear and tear?
All of those guys (save Jeff Hardy) have had serious injuries. I fail to see your point. The E guys get more injuries because they work more, wearing down their muscles quicker in the process. In time the TNA guys will feel the effects of their high risk style, it just will take a while due to a lighter work schedule. But when they do, it will be far worse than a lat tare in the long run.

[Kane Knight]

So...Ummm...Travel time makes sense, except you said "Give it time."

Which implies it'll also happen on TNA's lighter schedule. Sorry, your revisionism phaild.

Meanwhile, yes, they've all had serious injuries. And yet, ow many in TNA?

[Shadow]

I made you, boy, and I can break you!

so it's finnally come down to this. Like Darth Vader vs. Obi-wan Kenobi...the student must slice the Master's cloak in half and make him more powerful than he can ever imagine. Lets go then.

[Destor]

It will happen on their lighter schedule, it will just take longer. And when it does it will be serious. When TNA goes on national tours and increases the work schedule you are going to see a great increase in injuries. Give it time. Their style can be done on occasion, but not every night. But again, your point eludes me. Are you trying to say that taking these 'sick' bumps night in and night are less likely to cause injury? Look at Mick Foley; he took those hard bumps his whole career. But just a few years after he got in the WWF he had to retire. Mostly do to the Cell, but the night in night out of doing that 'crazy' stlye had its role, and it caught up with him in a big way. The TNA guys are no diffrent, they're worn to shit, and when TNA gets going they will fall apart. Give it time.

[Kane Knight]

Am I gonna have to lob off three of your limbs at once before you learn your lesson?

[Kane Knight]

Nice to see you fervently clinging to a dead horse.

You're assuming TNA even does go on a grueling WWE like schedule.

[Kane Knight]

Further, Kennedy is not high glying or high risk, his injuries can't be easily attributed to attrition as he's a relatively new star, and look at the list of newbies who got injured near their debuts.

[Savio]

I got a joke.....

How many Ken Kennedys are not injured?


0 LOL

[Destor]

Good point, it might be an unfair assumption.

[Corkscrewed]

Man, six months. That's like half a neck injury.

Sucks for Ken. :(

Or one fifth of a NAsh.

Kennedy sidelined six months
By Evan Denbaum
December 5, 2005
http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/kennedysidelined


Outspoken newcomer Ken Kennedy took WWE by storm, beating the likes of Booker T (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/bookert/) and bullying “inferior” announcer Tony Chimel. Few Superstars caught on so quickly or were so immediately entertaining. His propensity for repeating himself … Kennedy … became an infectious catch phrase in a matter of weeks. All that was left for Mr. Kennedy was to make his mark in championship matches and star on the pay-per-view stage. But Kennedy’s fierce momentum came to a grinding halt during WWE’s overseas tour, as Kennedy tore the tendon clean off a bone in his back. With surgery imminent, WWE.com caught up with an unusually somber Kennedy to get his take on the situation.

WWE.com: Can you give us the details on your injury?

Mr. Kennedy: I separated the tendon from the bone in my lat.

WWE.com: Did they give you an idea of how long you’ll be out?

Mr. Kennedy: The doctor estimated that it will be three months before I can even start strengthening it or rehabbing it, and then an additional three months before I can set foot in the ring. So, six months.

<noframes>http://kt4.kliptracker.com/klipinsert4.gif?campid=14759&ktaction=2&ad_id=1&quot; border=0 width=1 height=1>http://kt4.kliptracker.com/klipinsert4.tux?campid=14759&ktaction=100&ad_id=1&redir=http%3A//interscope.com/holidaygiftguide2005&quot; (http://www.tpww.net/forums/) target=&quot;_blank&quot;>http://gfx.dvlabs.com/klipmart/campaigns/int021/a_Audioslave_hives_qotsa/int021a_still.jpg&quot; border=0 width=300 height=250 alt=&quot;Holiday&quot;></noframes>WWE.com: When did the injury originally happen?

Mr. Kennedy: It happened the second night we were in Italy. I tore it and it just felt like a bruise. I thought I was just dinged up a little bit. I did things to try to protect the injury, but I kept wrestling. Then, the swelling started going down and the bruising went away. When I had my match against Matt Hardy in the UK, afterward I felt really sore and was bruised up again and swelled up again. I had a couple days off and didn’t do anything, and then I went home and put heat on it, stretched it out and massaged it.

I wrestled Kid Kash last week in Cincinnati in a non-televised match, and afterward, I felt fine. But I went out to eat later on that night, and I couldn’t even put my hand into my pocket to take my wallet out to pay for my meal. It started to swell up and really starting hurting, and I knew something more than just a bruise had happened.

I had already had an MRI, but it hadn’t been read yet. And the next day when I called Dr. Rios to tell him that I felt like something was wrong, he said, “Yeah, we just got the results back from your MRI, and you’ve got a tear.” So, he advised me to find a specialist here in Minneapolis and get an opinion from him. So, I did that. I went to get some X-rays, and when I came back, there were four doctors in the room, and I knew something was up. They had me do a bunch of stretches to figure out what kind of range of motion I had. They then said that I had torn the lat off the bone. It’s kind of similar to what Triple H (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/tripleh/) did to his quad. I had torn it completely off the bone and the doctors said I needed surgery — that it couldn’t be rehabbed.

WWE.com: Are you confident in the care you’re receiving?

Mr. Kennedy: I’m in good hands. I’m being taken care of by one of the top doctors in the country. The University of Minnesota is a renowned medical facility, and I’m being taken care of by the doctor who works on players from the Minnesota Vikings.

WWE.com: When will you have the surgery?

Mr. Kennedy: I go into surgery tomorrow. They told me I could stay overnight, but I opted to be miserable at home where I can play video games and stuff like that.

WWE.com: So, are you just going to take it easy after the surgery and keep a low profile?

Mr. Kennedy: No. I’m going to stay in the gym. I’m going to make sure I make it to the gym every day — once I can actually start going. It might be a week or two before I can go to the gym. You know, I can do cardio, and I can do legs and I can work on the other side of my body. I just can’t do anything with my right side. But I’m going to try to get back as soon as I can. I don’t want to lose what I’ve gained.

WWE.com: Is this frustrating for you, considering how much momentum you had before the injury?

Mr. Kennedy: It is. I’m so bummed out right now. A lot of the guys have been calling me, though.

WWE.com: Are you already thinking at all about what you might do upon your return to try to regain that momentum? Do you have any goals set?

Mr. Kennedy: Well, I don’t want to wait six months before I come back. I think there are other things I can do to contribute to the show without actually being in the ring wrestling. But, hopefully now there will be some time to think about things. I want to make an impact when I come back. I don’t want to just take a little run to first base; I want to knock one out of the park and round the bases.

WWE.com: On another note, what has it been like becoming more known and getting a lot of press in the local papers? Has that been fun for you?

Mr. Kennedy: Yeah. To me, I never wanted all that, though. It hasn’t been about fame. I just really, really enjoy entertaining people. I always have, ever since I was a little kid when I would do impersonations of people. I’d watch movies and know them word for word after watching them one time, and I’d emulate what I saw in movies. As I got into high school, I started doing impersonations of all my teachers, which got me into a little bit of trouble sometimes. So, I’ve always liked entertaining people. So, I guess the best thing about receiving press and seeing those stories is that I then know that people are being entertained by what I’m doing. So, that’s I guess the best part about it.


He wants to come back even before he is able to wrestle. Maybe they WILL have him do an interview segment or a guest spot on the announce team.
