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.

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.

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.

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.

All the potential in the world is worthless if you never live up to it. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Also, my definition of "high quality performer" would include "rarely gets hurt and rarely hurts others".
