A heel Kennedy?
Topic Started: Jun 15 2007, 09:50 PM (364 Views)

Apparently Triple H feels that there is not enough heels on the RAW brand, which is the reason Mr. Kennedy was drafted to RAW. This move indicates that Kennedy will not be returning to chase Edge for the World Title like he was originally supposed to, but confirms that he will be returning to RAW as a heel and eventually be feuding with Triple H in the future.


This kinda sucks but it'll be worth it once he gets to be WWE champ and not just WHC.

Unless HHH has other plans.

You know, I wonder how much influence HHH really has on Vinny?

I'm glad Kennedy's going to be returning as a heel. The heel character is what brought him to the dance, and I really don't see him getting as over as a face. Guys like that who are really over promo-wise, are almost always heels (with the exception of Stone Cold, though he was technically pushed as one) because they could go further, and are much more interesting.

As was I. I don't see much room for advancement for Kennedy on Raw. They have Cena, Lashley, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels. Those are your four main eventers. Then they have Booker T and Orton to play back up main eventers. I fear that Kennedy is going to get the Carlito treatment. Carlito was really coming into his own on SD! Then he got moved to Raw, was given the IC Title, and plateaued. I don't want to see Kennedy plateau.

There's an ominus pattern going on, though, that i'm kind of scared of for the sake of Kennedy. Lashley, Carlito and Cena were all guys that I really liked on SD!, and were wrestlers I would tend to mark out to. But as soon as they went to RAW and/or ECW, I lost interest in them. I really hope that doesn't happen. I guess if he stays heel, though, it might be a bit better.

My main concern with Kennedy being a Heel is Triple H doesn't want to be a face for long. Once Triple H goes heel again, he'll be the top dog once more. That doesn't leave much room for the other heels on Raw. So, I'm also concerned about Booker too in this case.

That was probably one of my main concerns with the draft: RAW currently, and actually the WWE on a whole, is like the New York Yankees, circa last month. They have strong rosters throughout, with huge names, but they hit an injury stint. So guys like Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Undertaker have ultimately left open a void. That gives newcomers a chance to shine. But once those veterans come back, they won't have any room for the ones that were moved, so it could get messy. Because we all know, if the rosters were in full-stregnth, they would be in a lot better shape; Edge would still be on RAW, Booker and Undertaker would be fighting for the WHC, Kennedy would be building up his career, and Michaels and Triple H would still main-eventing RAW, along with Cena and co.

I'm just curious. Do you guys find it funny that every report these days have the reason behind a move because HHH wants it? Even the cuts that Steph made it was reported that HHH had her ear. It just seems a little fishy to me that HHH would have that much power. I know he is married to Steph and everything, but Vince still runs the company...doesn't he?

These people who report all this. I don't know how they know who gave who the idea to do something. I mean does Triple H walk around the halls yelling his ideas?

I think these guys find out the WWE's plans for something, and if they don't like it they report it and say Triple H was behind it. But if it was a good idea, they don't give you a name on who's idea it was. Like who's idea was the Vince is dead angle. I'm gonna pull a reporter and tell everyone it was good ol Trips idea.

like several of you already, i've already got concerns about Mr. Kennedy being on Raw. while on Smackdown, there was plenty of room for him to advance and/or to develop his character. and, like Carlito, Kennedy could take a little more time to make sure that his character developed just right.

on Raw, i have concerns that he won't be able to develop his character as well as he should. i also feel that Kennedy will be overlooked in favor of guys like Cena, HBK, HHH, the McMahons, Lashley, and any other top star. i don't think this looks good for Kennedy, at all.

Since we're on the subject of Kennedy.

Quote:
 
Ken Kennedy’s somewhat serious triceps injury (although not near as serious as first thought) can now be considered somewhat of a blessing. Despite costing him a run as the World Heavyweight Champion, Kennedy got some much needed down time. He had been working banged up for quite some time as he was battling a severely sprained ankle and broken nose.

Kennedy made his RAW debut last night, but do not expect him to work a match for another six to eight weeks. If there is one good thing that comes out of a bigger injury for a professional wrestler, it is that they are able to get down time to heel from minor painful injuries.

Im happy he is returning as a heel, but then again, we all know he is going to be fed to the Bosses Son-In-Law.

Huge mistake to make him face, he would lose so much charisma just like Carlito did.

I don't think if he were to turn face, he'd fall into that category.

It's up to creative to make him be perceived to us like everyone else.

As I said before, he's got what it takes to be a major player. It's just up to WWE to pick up on it in which they somewhat have which is good since they hardly push people now and days unless you're name is Orton sadly.

It's mostly about politics that we can't see, we can only go by what we hear and watch for as we haven't a clue what happens behind the scenes unless we hear it from elsewhere and some of the places make up shit just to get hits on their site.

We have to separate fact from fiction.

Kennedy would be over as a heel or face IMO, but I think he's naturally suited in the heel position. As for his "feud" with HHH, if it even happens, it could be good for him, as long as HHH puts him over. And yeah, I do have hopes for that :lol:

You really have hopes for that? I do too, but if this feud is going to happen soon after he returns (after he goes over Orton) then I doubt he'll lose his second series after coming back.

Why should Triple H have to put people over. He has done of enough of that rubbish. It's just no realistic. After Triple H rapes Kennedy on the mic and then schools him in the ring, Kennedy will go down at the hands of The King Of Kings. And I will laugh and laugh some more.

I'm thinking that the fans will tell WWE what to do with his character in time, like when people were cheering for Austin even though he was a heel.

It's just up to them to pick up on it and do something about it.

I'm sure everyone heard the pops Kennedy has been getting till he went cut the crowd down. :lol:

Orton gets girly-Cena pops. Kennedy gets true pops from the crowd, from guys and girls.

I think Orton is more over than most of the IWC likes to give him credit for. The Orton fans give Orton too much credit, while his detractors don't give him enough credit. WWE has molded Orton into a passable faux-main eventer. He's over, but not super over.

He's just like a Jeff Jarrett in that he's no better than the upper-mid card though he could serve in the main event once in a while if need be. He's only a bit over because the dumb girls think he's hot (ewwww) and the guys think his finisher is cool.

I just fail to see what's so great about him. What does he do outside of the ring that makes him a legend other than he makes these wierd faces like The Rock? What does he do inside of the ring that makes him so great? Wow, he's got a cool finisher. Is that how we judge good talent, by how "awesome" their finisher is? That's sad, I say. His mic skills are solidly average. His in ring skills are solidly average. He's all around AVERAGE. Not terrible, not great.

EDIT: To bring it back to Kennedy, I think Kennedy is everything the WWE wanted Orton to be but Randy just doesn't have the charisma and maybe talent to pull it off.

Somehow we always end up talking about someone else. :lol:

A quick note, you may have not known.

A while back when Mr. Kennedy went down with a triceps injury, he was also working with a broken nose and a severely sprained angle, but that didn’t stop him from competing.


That's dedication.

I personally agree with that. I used to hate Orton with a passion, but that's only when WWE was pushing him harder and farther than he should have been pushed. Right now, they are pushing him as a faux-main eventer, which is fine with me. He's acceptable in the main event scenes and he always comes up short. He doesn't have the stand out skills to actually be the main eventer, but he's passable at being the guy in the opposite corner of the main eventer.

Speaking of Kennedy, I hear that Austin is a big fan of his. Kennedy has stated multiple times that Austin is his all time favorite (mine too), so you know he's gotta take it as a huge compliment. I wonder how much pull Austin still has in WWE. If he likes the guy, then there is a chance he won't suffer from the same Carlito depush while on Raw.

Didn't Austin say the same thing about Cena? That's when [Cena] was still good, I guess.

Exactly about Orton. He's decent and nothing more. I've come a long way in that I used to DETEST the man and now I don't mind him. I've seen that he's improved but not to the point of being flat-out amazing.

Yeah, I just read on Gerweck yesterday that Austin is personally endorsing Kennedy and sees him as being on the verge of superstardom. And Kennedy just worships Austin, he even named his dog after him. :lol: To me, out of ALL the guys that were named as being the next Stone Cold, Kennedy seems like he really could be that guy. And I don't mean to overshadow Steve as he's just a legend. I just hope Kennedy is learning everything he can from him at this time.
