| Kennedy taking a backseat? | |

This question spawns from the post Cy made about Kennedy seemingly looking like he isn't going anywhere at the moment, or it seems anyways. With what happened over the past two weeks, WWE has been somewhat careful of what they are intending on doing with the title situation. Kennedy should be the WHC by now in alot of eyes and maybe should be in the title hunt but instead he jobs to Super Crazy of all people. I read a report on the incident indicating that him jobbing won't affect him in any way. I really don't agree with that. Because of the events that have taken place, it was rumored of Kennedy getting that huge heel push but now has to wait alittle more before he can. If they still intend on doing so. True, there's going to be a tag match that involves some of Raw's big names but why not atleast give him the throw away title (IC) to make the mid card division just a bit better than it is at the moment? Maybe they are waiting till after the Lashley/Cena match to do so, or you know now that I think about it, there's still the rest of the year to build his character. Plus he is coming off an injury(s). Hmm....the only other problem is that if the rumor is true on wanting to make Orton champ, then does it seem that WWE is letting others pass Kennedy by? Or another scenario I was thinking is that if they intend on making Orton champ, then he could just be a transitional champ, eventually dropping the title back to Cena, or even HHH. Still someone could take the belt of Cena, hold it for a short time then lose it to HHH, have Orton win it from him, then back to Cena and start a feud with Kennedy just in time for WM 24. Or maybe have him win the RR. I'm still not sure on what to think at the moment. If anyone have there own insight on this, feel free to express them.

I really don't see how Kennedy is being considered for a main event spot at Wrestlemania in the first place. The only good thing about him is his crowd reaction. And that will die out once people figure him out. |

I don't think that j-o-b was too bad in the grand scheme of things. Kennedy still isn't cleared to actually wrestle, I don't think, so I knew there wouldn't be an actual match. When Kennedy started talking again, I assumed he'd just talk the time out. The quick match was just a way to keep Kennedy in the mix while he continues to heal. However, I'm still worried about Kennedy. WWE is placing him in the WWE Title picture, but he is the least established character in the division. Cena, Orton, Lashley, and Booker are all established names. When Triple H and HBK return, that's two more names that'll be in the picture. Chances are that someone is going to be phased out, and that'll probably be the least established guy: Kennedy. I'm still expecting Kennedy to be given the Carlito treatment: He was really starting to get over on SD!. He got moved to Raw. Is given a strong initial push. And then pretty much falls off the map and only appears for random segments that really don't lead to anything. It's a damn shame too, since Kennedy clearly has the talented needed to succeed in WWE. He just needs more time to develop before WWE tries pushing him where they are trying to push him. |

Did you read what you wrote? I'm just curious.... The only good thing about him is the crowd reaction...If that is the truth, then that's enough. See, the crowd is who you are trying to please. And, when a guy gets the great reaction you want (cheers or boos) you are doing the correct thing. The guys getting the biggest cheers and biggest boos are the guys the WWE should eventually focus the shows on because that is who the audience is most interested in. |

Kennedy jobbing to Super Crazy is like Trips jobbing to the Brooklyn Brawler really (not that I'm declaring that Kennedy=Triple H, the greatest heel of all-time), it's just one of those jobs that makes people go crazy or whatever. Super crazy. |

The idea of no talent taking a seat back brings a smile to my face. I meand Cena owned Kennedy in that promo on 7/01/07. |

Only cause Kennedy didn't say anything. It wouldn't have been hard considering Cena's was lackluster. A couple of funny comments along with some really really lame ones. Kennedy isn't very good on the mic so all he could do was say was the same words over and over again. Or maybe he was thinking of a way to lose the baby weight. |

Did you just say Kennedy can't cut a promo Shows. Thats all Kennedy can do, he really can't wrestle. All he has is promos and you just said he can't cut one. |

You all make it sound like the only thing Kennedy can do is scream his name. He's decent in the ring, has good mic skills (he says more things that just yell his own name) and is an entertaining act on WWE. |

Do you ever watch him when he speaks? He looks like he's on freakin pills. And it's okay to pause. Heels do that. But he looks like he is thinking as hard as he can for something to say. Or he'll just repeat the same word 10 times while he thinks of something. He's not very good at all. But when he gets in that stance looks up at the sky and screams "Misteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer Kennedyyyyyyyyy" Suddenly he's an entertaining act. I can't really comment on his ring work considering I have only seen like 2 or 3 matches with him in it. He's always injured. Maybe that should be a hint for him to get into shape. I mean if he wants to look like Mick Foley he better jump off a roof or something. |

I think Kennedy is one of the best guys to come to WWE in the last 5 years. No other (new) guy has been more exciting to watch. I know people like to pigeonholed Kennedy as a guy that "only says his name" (lame duck excuse), but anyone that actually watches a Kennedy promo sees his talent. The guy is a heel's heel. The small things he does: his pauses, his facial expressions, his presentation, his stance, it's all great heel work. It's designed to make people not like him. Hell, it's working on at least three people in this thread.
Kennedy is still weak in the ring, though. He's a competent performer, but nothing about his ring work really stands out or feels significantly his. But considering WWE has made stars out of Cena, Orton, Lashley, Batista and others even though they aren't exactly ring generals means they could do the same for Kennedy. I don't think it's Kennedy's time (he still needs a 2 or 3 years at least), but he definitely has the skills and talents to become a big star in WWE. Also, anyone that calls Kennedy "fat" or even "chubbie" is just a fool. He has the same body type as Jericho, Austin, and others. Not everyone needs to have a bodybuilder's physique. ![]() Over all, I'd say that Kennedy has the charisma, personality, mic skills, and crowd support that is needed to rise up the ranks in WWE. His only real weak area is his ring work. But once he gets an established finisher and one or two stand out moves, then he'll be just fine. A few people may not appreciate Kennedy right now, but you will. Trust me, you will.

I have to agree with Shows. We like Kennedy because Vince has shoved him down your throat. In the matter of two months he beat Batista and The Undertaker. That task should be for some one who has proven himself to be great like Edge, and they did have Edge beat Batista and Undertaker in the span of two months. But the should never have had Kennedy beat Batista and Undertaker in two months. |

That's not why I like Kennedy, and is a rather silly statement to make. WWE forces Cena down our throats. I don't like him very much. WWE pushes Lashley down our throats. I don't like him very much. WWE pushes Batista down our throats. I don't like him very much. WWE pushes Khali down our throats. I don't like him even a little bit. WWE pushes Orton down our throats and I have just recently gotten to the point of tolerating him. I could go on and on. WWE is pushing Kennedy, yes, but that's not the reason I like him. I like him because he is so damn entertaining and is good at what he does, although he needs to work on his in-ring. |

Kennedy's not being shoved down our throats. He gets respectable airtime. Yeah, he beat Undertaker and Batista. That's called a PUSH! When WWE tries to build a superstar, he puts the guy over big stars. That's not shoving him down our throats. Shoving him down our throats is giving him the title, and making him appear in half the segments, ranging from the opening of the show where he cuts an abysmal promo, to the end, where he puts on another lackluster match. Kennedy is nowhere near that. Hell, he was on TV for three minutes last week, eventually losing to Super Crazy! How is that shoving him down our throats? |

The Cena/Lashley vs Booker/Kennedy match has already been canceled. Cena is going to appear on "Larry King Live" tonight, so he won't even be at Raw, unless they air a pre-taped promo or something. The match is officially Lashley vs Booker. Just thought you'd want to know.

Then if you say that, how is he possibly shoved down our throats, if they limit his ring time? You're still not making much sense... And I totally agree with Cybrus on this one. Kennedy is easily the best heel to come out of WWE since the rapping John Cena. He has the mic work, and I do think he is pretty solid in the ring. And I also think it's pretty funny that Shows is commenting on how Kennedy is a bit chubby, because when his old buddy Trips had that pot belly, he called it "sexy" and embraced it. |

Yes, that much is obvious, and they are going to continue to do so until he is cleared to wrestle again. They are simply keeping his name in the spotlight while easing him past the mid-card status that he was and into the new main event status that he's growing into. |

We will never be able to come to terms on this Kennedy thing, because those little things you say are so great, are not. And you say it's working because I don't like him. But here's the thing, I always side with the heel, so that excuse don't fly with me. And also, I really don't think he does those things on purpose. Or if he does, it's only because he's desperatly trying to think of something to say. All his actions are textbook of someone thinking of the right thing to say. Go Phsycoligy class or something.
And you hate all them, probably because of the no in ring skill thing. So why does Kennedy deserve special treatment?
First off, Kennedy is new to the buiss. He has to earn the right to walk around with love handles and not be critisized. Jericho did not look like that when he first started. Can Kennedy do a hurricarana? Nooooo. And maybe, just maybe if he got in better shape he wouldn't have been injured for half of his short career.
Constipation
Hairplugs
Misssssssssteeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr Kennnnnnnnnnnnnnedyyyyyyyyyyyy
Either that, or it will be the other way around and everyone will turn on him. Cause without that crowd reaction, Mister Kennedy is no different then the Coach. |
