What if Mr. Kennedy... | WrestleZone Forums

I was a Mr. Kenendy MARK when he was in WWE. I loved his cocky ass attitude, I loved the mic coming down from the ceiling and the elaborate ring introductions and I thought he was a decent in ring worker. I really think his body kind of screwed him in a big way during his WWE run. You could tell that they were trying every way possible to push him toward that main event spot, but everytime they did he got injured. I don't think he would have held MITB until Mania though, I think he woud have probably cashed it in after Summer Slam and probably been a transitional champion until maybe Rumble or New Years Revolution back then. What would have really put him in that top spot would have been if he got the "Vince's son" role in that storyline. I remember reading that he was one of the finals in consideration and that the plan was for Vince to make up for the lost years and give him everything he wanted leading into a match with Shane at either Rumble or Mania, I can't remember. Either way he would have had a marqee spot at Mania that year and would have probably went into a World title program shortly afterward with Cena or Triple H I'm assuming. I think this was a case of poor booking here, Kennedy's name was even a play off Vince if you see his OVW promo where he went from being Ken Anderson to Mr. Kennedy. As far as the Orton thing, I have watched the match, I have heard both sides of the story, and I think Kennedy just got the shaft. Classic case of he said she said and the boss picked the side of the person they preferred.

I do agree with the masses TNA needs him a lot more than WWE would at this point. I think if he was still in WWE he would either be in The Miz's spot or lost in the shuffle somewhere. I watched TNA for the first time in a while last week though and noticed something. He has the same physique as I do. I work out and stay in shape, but for a professional wrestler that is a main event talent, I find that kind of disheartening. I mean if you look at it Cena and Sheamus are jacked, Orton is shreaded, Miz, Del Rio and Truth are more defined than an average guy. My point is all of the guys in the main event picture on both shows all look like larger than life characters to an extint, excluding Christian. Kennedy or Anderson whatever you want to call him just looks like a guy you see everyday.
