TNA...



















































...NA

Wow

Has anyone ever been released right after being in the main event on their last appearance?

What the fuck. Wasn't this guy in the main event the other night.

Posted at the same time as Diesel Mac.

Beat you. :p

time for him an kev nash to have a sell out tour. does he have to wait 90 days to go to tna, or just 30

What the fuck

Does this have to do with the back supelx on Orton?

I think it has to do with the fact that the guy can't go one match without getting injured

just a matter of time.... he is a good piece of talent.... but needs to stop getting injured all the fucking time.... TNA would be smart to pick him up....

Honestly, I'm surprised it didn't happen a LONG while ago.

But right after the main event spot threw me.

Really surprised they released him this soon.

The only thing surprising here is the timing.

A good chunk of us knew sooner or later this was coming.

They should have paired him with John Cena and done an Unbreakable angle.

And the kids all called me Mr. Kennedy...


Kennedy.

BTW, Borash is acting bad that he posted Kennedy got released first: https://twitter.com/JeremyBorash - but he only wrote it an hour ago, it ain't like he knew weeks before.

yea he would be a great pick up, an if nash stiener and sting can keep from getting hurt in tna kennedy may be ok.

Poor guy. I guess he can't work through his latest injury. I figured his latest injury would be his last one with the company (at least for now).

WHAT'S MR. ANDERSON DOING IN THE IMPACT ZONE!?

And yet...he was.....dah hell!?

Wow. Wow.

Wow.

Not gonna lie... kinda hilarious.

It is. Who said that the WWE couldn't swerve the IWC????


Gotcha!!!

Yeah i get that feeling too.

Couldn't care less. He's lost so much momentum in the last 2 years that this release is pretty much meaningless to the overall WWE picture. Could be a real coup for TNA, if he can stay healthy for more than a fortnight.

For all we know, Kennedy may have requested this.

Ultimate Warrior being fired by Vince right after Summerslam 1991 immediately comes to mind.

If he could stay healthy, he was the next big thing in wrestling. He was the closest thing to The Rock/Austin we were gonna get. This blows but hopefully he comes back before going to TNA.

You know it's funny that I posted Mr. Kennedy's first dark match and this shit happens. Good bye...Good Bye.

definetly......LOL

I wonder if his ass was injured as he walked out the door and it slammed shut hitting him from behind.

There was always that joke about him being released, but now that he is gone, I don't believe it

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







...nooooooo :(

I dont get it at all he was so talented... wish he could have stayed

Minus MVP, Orton and HBK (whenever he comes back) now there is no real reason to watch Raw, SD all the way and yes ECW is better to watch

Talented? How the hell is he so talented? The guy is only good for saying his own name twice. His ring work is sub par and his promos are shit. He has a myth of being a good worker and people think he is this great promo because of the same one line over and over.

In short, Kennedy is shit.

He had some pretty good matches in OVW, for whatever it's worth.

His promos are shit? HOLD ON HOMEBOY

^^^^^This

Dammit! not this way!

on the spot

I remeber someone saying he was the next rock, or was it a white version of the Rock.

Not bothered about kennedy but find this funny due to him main eventing as others have said and making a promo on the same night last monday.

Well, at least we have some bad ass theme music now thanks to him.

Lol when I met the guy in Houston, the last thing I said was "make sure you stay healthy now" and he just kinda nodded nervously. Think I jinxed him :'(

:D:D:D:D

Sheep you son of a bitch!


Nah I'm kidding, you couldn't hurt or jinx a fly.

:y:

As much as I tried to like him, I was never able to buy into him as a serious threat in the ring, no matter who he was facing.

I think one of the main things he had was that be beat Undertaker.

:(

Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Anderson!........................................................................................... ..................................................................................
..........Anderson.

Couldn't he just be named Kennedy? You know, without the Mr.?

I call bullshit on Kennedy being a good worker, I've been in more matches than he's been in over the last year. The guys a joke, his mic skills aren't that great and he's not even any fun to watch. Good riddance.

nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey... Goodbye...........Goodbye.

when you all say mr anderson i think of beaves and butthead. thats the mr anderson i want see hom smoking and sipping beer going your not the damm kids throwing my garbage cans in the street.

:roll:

Come on.

The guy was put into programs with some of the biggest names in the company: Taker, Kane, HBK, Benoit, Jeff Hardy, even Vince McMahon himself. He won Money in the Bank. He was taken aside and given advice from Steve Austin, possibly the best guy in the history of the business. Clearly there is/was something special about Ken Anderson for him to be given so many huge opportunities and chances by the people in charge.

It's too bad that he couldn't hang. It really was. I enjoyed Mr. Kennedy, he just lost so much momentum over and over and over again that they had no choice but to let him go because there was no way to use him without considerable risk. Hopefully he can toughen up and work overseas and return to the WWE one day in the future.

Buff Bagwell after Raw?

Not too disappointed...Kennedy entertained me for a short time and then I got over him.

I think most of us did. I actually met him at a signing the day before the Rumble and said " I hope all of your bad luck is out of the way". Probably oops on me too. But I did like the guy, too bad he seems to have had the worst luck of anyone who has ever been employed by WWE.

Yeah, Kennedy is the goods. The man has a shitload of charisma and he put on some great matches HBK (I know, who hasn't, right), Taker, Matt Hardy, etc. a couple years ago before the injuries and suspension really just screwed it all up. He was a HUGE superstar just waiting to happen.

I enjoyed Kennedy as a heel. As soon as he changed his theme music though, I stopped caring. I started to care again for a second, but he kept disappearing and I got sick of waiting. I hope he does OK for himself.

I was never a fan but how ironic.

How does any of that prove there is something special about this retard?

The Great Khali got a world title push. He must be this superstar worker. He couldn't have just gotten into because McMahon likes big guys no?

Programs with Taker, Kane, Michaels, Benoit, Jeff Hardy and Vince make him special? No that makes him worthless. You see, despite all these half pushes, his ability NEVER got over. The guys who work there never liked his ring style and Vince McMahon dropped a whole angle he built for months at the drop of a hat because of this moron.

And the guy is probably the single worst person in the WWE history to ever talk to the media. He begged Stephanie for permission to talk to the media after the Benoit deal and IMMEDIATELY embarrassed himself and the company by getting caught blatantly lying and then falling a wellness test. He came back and continued to lie to the media and continue to get caught out and yet he never once learnt his lesson. I wouldn't trust this guy to hold a fucking Snickers bar, nevermind be the face of my company.

He tries to talk like Steve Austin, walk like Steve Austin, work like Steve Austin but he ain't close to ever being a Steve Austin. He ain't even close to being a poor man's Steve Austin.

And just to prove a point, I'm sitting here with 2 wrestling fans who have both watched the product a lot more than myself in the last 2 years and they could only remember him working with Michaels off the top of their heads. I had to recall the McMahon son angle and the rest we can still barely remember. The only impression he ever left on anyone was saying his stupid name twice. I legit tried to like this guy and I have personal against him. I'm just calling it like it is. He sucks.

I'll bet anyone he doesn't get over in TNA either. He'll be no bigger than Bobby Roode there (and Roode is twice the talent he is).

When did Kennedy work a program with HBK?

Lol yeah, I don't remember that. I just remember him losing MITB.

They also had a match at Armageddon and several more on RAW. Kennedy also eliminated HBK at the Royal Rumble that year.

As far as Khali goes, Rob, you said it yourself. Vince likes big men, which is the ONLY reason he ever got a World Title run. The man is like 7'2" or some shit - of course he's going to get a run at the top of the card.

Mr. Kennedy, however, is NOT 7'2", which makes your example of The Great Khali null and void. The reason is obvious with Khali: he's huge. That reason doesn't apply to Mr. Kennedy, as he's no larger than a majority of the WWE roster.

To suggest that he was never over is really stretching reality for the sake of your argument. I'm not going to go back and look for all the times he got big pops or had good matches because it's all there on the interweb; look for yourself (which you won't). Mr. Kennedy kept returning and getting good programs BECAUSE he was getting over with the fans. His return on RAW was one of the better segments and he did a great job hyping his return. His in-ring work is solid and so is his personality. It is simply in his tendency to injure himself where he's lacking - all the other tools are there. That's WHY he was given so many opportunities (which he did fuck up, I'm not arguing that he's not a fuck up). So, to say that he "just sucks" is simply an opinion based on false judgment and ignorance.

Your "I'm sitting here with 2 wrestling fans" shit holds absolutely no water. My cousin and his wife both think Kennedy was the next Rock. Does that prove me right? No. It's just conjecture based on others' opinions that "just so happen" to support my argument here.

i always thought of him as another hogan. an we all know hogan can not wrestle for crap, whatever it is hogan had kennedy has too, wwe even let him do a movie.

He always came off as being a "generic indy guy" to me.

TNA does not posses the creative powers to do that. I mean, come on, Jesus Fuck, lighting was struck with Dr. Stevie. Can they really do that again?

So if they FIRE him he still has 90days no-compete? that sucks , they fire you and still own your ass for 3 months afterwards

Kennedy beat Michaels clean on a Raw in December 2007. That was awesome. He was my favourite guy when he was on Smackdown in 2006, just getting more popular by the week. Then the injuries kicked in, and he got drafted to Raw. That's when I stopped caring.

Wtf, if that's true then that is shit.

Actually it proves you wrong. Rock got over huge within a year of his debut and main evented Wrestlemania within 18 months of his debut. Ken Kennedy never came close. Rocky never got fired for being a putz either.

And it made me laugh how people here forgot his feuds too. Proves the point about MR......... ah I forget his name.

Apparently the major rule in the WWE is now don't do any move that puts any pressure on Randy Orton's shoulder...

Seriously, ya want to fire him for being injury prone, fine... But if you're going to fire him because he does a normal, everyday wrestling move, and the guy taking it is worried about re-injuring his shoulder... come on..

lol. The Rock did not main event WrestleMania within 18 months of his debut. Unless you count his "debut" as when he turned heel and changed his name which is just misleading.

And Kennedy's inability to get over was because of injuries and his suspension. Not his lack of talent. Again, the man has a ton of charisma and his trying to be Stone Cold is MUCH more subtle at least than John Cena trying to be The Rock which is just brutal to watch sometimes.

lol

I don't think he's injured.

:shifty:

LOL. That was awesome. I love this man.

My bad. He main evented Mania 15, not 14 like I was thinking. Kennedy never main evented Mania in 2 1/2 years from his debut either though.

WWE never said they released him due to injuried though. That is internet speculation.

Duh?

Unless it's drug testing-related, they very rarely if ever announce WHY they release them anyway.

Corporate would've stated if it was drug related.

So nobody knows the real reason other than WWE then? I'm shocked.

The new "rumor" is that Kennedy and Orton had words after the match, and people were pissed because of the backdrop on Orton. Basically, the rumor is Kennedy could have injured Orton's previously injured shoulder, and Kennedy wasn't protecting others in the ring well enough.

No doubting this but was it on his blog or something. I haven't seen it.

I find the Kennedy hating quite interesting. I wonder what the vast opinion would be if all the plans for him had come of.

He would have held the title and been involved in a huge angle with McMahon that would have cemented him in the Main Event scene. He had some serious bad luck with the MitB situation - losing the briefcase due to an misdiagnosis on an injury. The drugs bust was all on him though.

I'm sure he will be back.

I would have liked him to become a star because the company needs more fresh stars but he proved he isn't up to it.

I don't know, there was something about him. He was missing something.

A body that could withstand a light gust of wind?

I liked Kennedy up and til his very first big WWE injury. I don't think he was ever the same after that.

I think that injury was 2 years ago.

This was clearly filmed months ahead of time because he knew he was going to get fired for injury relatedness sooner or later. He has similar videos of him doing the same thing with his feet, neck, ears, shoulders, and penis.

Also, Matt Hardy is plugging this vid on his Myspace. I wonder if he'll end up with TEH HEATZ for that...

maybe wwe was planning this..

they were giving away kennedy t-shirts on their smash-ups video thing. i got one..
it's nice

Two notes. First, thanks to #1-wwf-fan for clearing up the Rock situation, as it was considerably more than 18 months. Second, it does not prove me wrong, because my point in talking about my cousin and her husband was to show that the opinions of your friends pretty much means jack considering it's just their opinions.

Also, wrestling fans have notedly short memory spans - this is an out of sight, out of mind kind of business. Just because some people can't remember his feuds (probably the same people who have instances of losing their car keys every other week) doesn't mean that Kennedy didn't have good feuds, good matches and that he wasn't a high quality performer with tons of potential.

Your point that started all this was that "Kennedy sucked, he was never anything and is bland and just sucks." My point is that he is the opposite, and simply continued to get dealt shitty ass hands.
