He brought the first Satanic gimmick to wrestling with his Army of Darkness stable in FL, which the Freebirds were a member of at one time, IIRC. Chris Benoit's wife, Nancy Benoit, left her husband at the time, Kevin Sullivan, to be with him. I don't say I blame her given the circumstances, but that caused Benoit to be held back for years in WCW. Kevin Sullivan is the reason why Benoit went to WWE to begin with, even when he was to win the World Title.

By that logic, why isn't Triple H and HBK still constantly on Television?

First of all, Lashley should be thankful for the times he got to get carried by Regal and Finlay. He was massively over, but there is such a thing as too much too soon. [see Luger, Lex; Lesnar, Brock; Warrior, Ultimate] I say that Hayes was right on this one.

Basically, he's getting lost already before he dips a toe into the actual RAW shows. On SmackDown, right now, they have, healthy and can contribute RIGHT NOW....Edge, Batista, and (maybe) Hardy. THAT'S IT!! See the lack of avaliable talent on SD! And there is no guarantee that Taker or Mysterio will end up on SD (Mysterio may go to ECW to take up an "Originals" spot and Taker may end up on RAW, for all we know) when they come back. Basically, Kennedy is VERY much needed on SD right now, which made this move make no sense.

I agree that they shouldn't have Kennedy on Raw. From a Business Standpoint, he should be on Raw, though. That's the only grounds that I think it's a good idea.
You mention all the injured people on SD, but you conveniently forget to mention that HHH and HBK are injured. Foley is in that match for one reason: to put Orton over so that Lashley and Cena don't have to. I see Umaga on Smackdown or ECW really soon. Austin is gonna show up very rarely, and I'm sure that when they want to do it (2 years from now), they'll have him put over Kennedy. In all honesty, the Top, at this very moment is:
Cena
Lashley
Orton
Booker
And who's to say they won't send one of those guys to SD when Hunter and Shawn get back? I can't say anything for Rey Rey, but Taker, I guaran-fucking-tee you won't go to Raw. He's the only one, on the political side of things, that can match up with Hunter and come out ahead. And even when he doesn't, he won't take his shit. Read: Hunter wants no part of Taker, so they'll keep him working Tuesday.
