Kennedy! *Smackdown spoliers i guess*
So he is getting the shot at the Rumble. Do you think it's too early for him? *Like Orton winning the WHC*
He is no doubt a future Main Eventer. Hope they don't screw this up. ![]() ![]()

Yes, it's too early.
And he's not going to win. |

As long as he doesn't win, it's not too early for him. A good experience to be headlining probably the second most important PPV.
I get the feeling we may see Kennedy/Taker at Mania the way things are panning out (from the spoilers). |

If they give him the title it's a HUGE mistake.
As long as they don't jump the gun, let him go out of this fairly strong while not winning, and go into a strong feud for Mania it'll work out. I don't see the problem of giving him a shot now. Just not the title. |

I am happy that Kennedy is getting a title shot. I don't think he should win it, as I feel it would be too soon, but theirs nothing wrong with him getting his feet wet in the main event scene.

It's too early really (although that didn't stop WWE putting a World Title on Lashley) but if WWE do this RIGHT they'll make Kennedy look good and have him almost win it.
I think Mania would be too soon as well, but in saying that he's running out of people to feud with on SD. I'm hoping Batista drops the title to Taker around Mania time, then Kennedy wins it off Taker at Judgement Day in June and then immediately jumps ship to Raw and the WWE champion at the time switches to Smackdown. Kennedy as WHC on Raw with an entire roster of new people to feud with would be FANTASTIC. But that's just my own wishfull thinking. |

Welcome to WWE logic....wrestlers with 2 yrs under their belt are getting title shots and even winning the championship.
Kennedy should work his ass off and in maybe like 3 yrs he should get it. |

That's true.
He's probably the most successful of the "push to the top as fast as we can" guys. |

Kennedy isn't going to win. The Undertaker will cause Kennedy the match, and then they'll face off at wrestlemania.
But I gotta admit.... I was cheering for The Miz. I knew The Miz had no chance in hell, but come on, the idea was so abusrd that I just HAD to cheer for him. OOO-RAH! |

I have a feeling it might turn into Batista vs. Kennedy vs. Taker.
Just a vibe I got from it. |

They won't give him the title. This is one of those "lets see how he does in the Spotlight" type matches that a lot of main eventers have gotten recently. Remember when Cena went against Lesnar? Definitely not Cena's time, but it was a nice way of testing him out.
I think Kennedy's headed down the same path. We might see him champ at the end of the year, but I would wait till 2008 before putting the main strap on him. |

Well, not every single new talent has to be given the premier royal rumble win/goes over at Mania superman push. This is a good push for Kennedy and a good test, he should come damn close but just barely lose. Then he should get pushed big through the Summer and go into Summerslam to win the title, then see how he runs with it.

But really, lets think about this for a second. Lets use the same logic the WWE has used with everything else and then lets think about how this RR match will come out...
..... .... ... .. . Batista in a squash. |

Well its a ppv title match. Since we all know that Batista will win, I'm not sure what would go wrong for him since hes got the push of challenging for the title at a ppv as it is. The only thing I would fear is the potential of them having an awful match and the WWE holding that against Kennedy instead of Batista.

Aside from a good ring introduction and some fine entrance music, I don't see the big deal with Kennedy at all.

Aside from being young, fresh, entertaining on the microphone, getting great heat and being solid in the ring, I don't see the big deal with Kennedy at all either.

I don't know about anyone else, but it just occured to me that if Kennedy and The Boogeyman ever had a one-on-one meeting in the ring, it would be most entertaining with the contrasting styles of the cocky Kennedy and the goofy Boogeyman...discuss at will.

Mr. Kennedy is awesome. Paul Heyman thinks so, most of the world thinks so, and he's taking the ball and running with it. My hat's off to him.
Kennedy worked a fucking awesome match with Benoit on SmackDown!, and he didn't look like he struggled with it at all. The guy has been looking like a main eventer for some time now, and I'd easily put him on par with Edge and Randy Orton. Rob, what do you mean he doesn't have great heat? What's all this hype surrounding him? What's with people going along with his shtick. I can understand why you'd dislike Kennedy just to counter the (partially excessive) love for the guy, but saying he doesn't have great heat is pretty fucking stupid. The guy gives great promos, as well, and his in-ring work is [I]at least[/B] B-quality. Heyman said this guy has "it", and I personally agree. As a dick heel the sky is the limit for the guy, and I'm glad he's getting the shot. Personally, I'm hoping we get something entirely different at WrestleMania. Mr. Kennedy vs. Chris Benoit for the World Heavyweight Championship, or something. Too early for Kennedy? Yeah, I personally think they could survive holding off his title win until later this year. Is it jumping the gun, and would it be fucking up to put the World Heavyweight Title on Kennedy? When your tentative program is scheduled to be Batista vs. The Undertaker, fuck no. |
