Looking back, could've he have really been a star if things had gone "right" or is that just a IWC fantasy?
The few things I remember that shitter for are losing his MItB briefcase and shitting so bad Orton and Cena whined to Big Vince about how much of an unsafe faggot Kennedy was.
>>21371919the praise he got during the 2000s on smark message boards always reminded me of when in the 90s smarks would praise al snow (in smw) and say he's the next big thing and better than austin
>>21371919Vince was big on him and he was very good on the mic. Assuming he doesn't get injured and Cena and Orton don't bury him backstage, his big hurdle was that he was unsafe in the ring. I'd say that would've been the only thing keeping him from being a real star.
>>21372011Al Snow was already in the WWF when Austin became a main eventer
>>21371919I have 0 recollection of a single promo from this guy during his WWE and TNA run, despite smarks at the time and in the present always talking about his charisma
>>21371919>entrance merchantjust like Bobby Roode
absolutely, he was supposed to be Vince's son which means he was supposed to get pushed Roman style regardless.
I liked the spot he did a couple of times where he's on the outside of the ring, he tells the crowd "GET OUT OF THE WAY" like he's gonna throw his opponent into the crowd, and then just tosses them back in the ring
>>21371919Iwc fantasy, he went to tna with the same gimmick and couldn't get over. That's enough evidence to show it wouldn't have worked
>>21371919He’s a lesser LA Knight
>>21371980Nah you are
>>21372011NAH I AM
>>21371919Awful wrestler and cut awful promos.He was a prime shitter. One of the worst from that era.
>>21371919Not a Cena/Phil/Orton level star obviously, but he would've easily gotten a spot in the uppercard and showing up occasionally in the main event scene and maybe getting a few runs with the WWE championship.
He's meh at everything but so is Orton and they pushed him for 25 years and people just accepted it.
>>21372346I thought he was a good promo.
>>21372271LA Knight sucks though
>>21372346nigger. Orton has the literal GOAT match of all time under his belt
>>21372318Allegedly
any heel with a mediocre or decent promo has been overhyped by the IWC for 25 years, they almost all met the same fate, and Vince was proven right every single time
>>21372488The same guy who made the Miz a world champion?
>>21372373And Mr. Kennedy is a little worse than that
>>21372496Trve
Injury prone shitter. Probably should have had way more success though.
>>21372346you can jerk off to orton and cum in about 5 minutes. with kennedy? probably more 20-25
>>21372529bit ironic since he was fired because Orton and Cena injured themselves while working with him
It's always weird that Kennedy gets so much hate here, dude is everything you'd expect people to like about a wrestler other than maybe him not being shredded.
>>21372575Thre singular catchphrase injury prone shitter just wasn't very good thoughbeit
>>21372488VDS was really the first real brainrot before social media was a thing.
>>21372575there are only 6 unique IPs itt
>>21372571I’ve watched all of the alleged unsafe clips of Kennedy and it looks like complete bullshit on the level of taker breaking Hogans neck when his head didn’t touch the mat.
>>21371919You now remember him kicking his legs around like a retard when his opponent was trying to vertical suplex him.
Cena and Orton were scared of his push. That tells you something.
>>21372828Cena was scared of everyone. People don't seem to remember that late 00s/early 10s era where Cena was sabotaging anyone who had even the tiniest bit of potential to take his spot.
>>21372828I don't know where you niggas come up with this headcanon, Orton getting Cena to fire him happened after he lost the MITB due to the injury, and after he was pulled from being Vince's son because he went on TV to lie about not taking steroids and tthen getting suspendedBy the time that match happened he hadn't had a push in years
>>21372575what's there to like about him?
>>21372868this smarks always ignore him being an injury prone shitter and getting humiliated on live tv were the root cause for Vince basically losing all hope for him. It wasn't even Cena or Orton that started his KWAB'ing it was Edge.
>>21372856Cena also made Vince fire Kenny Dykstra so he could keep fucking Mickie James kek
>>21372890Cena’s a scumbag and is going to hell
>>21372868You're fucking retarded. That match was the start of a planned push. The whole point of that match was his return as the surprise partner.
>>21371919IWC fantasy. If he hadn't gotten buried and fired, he'd be a midcard guy. Maybe somebody you could use to rebuild a main eventer coming back from injury or build up an up and coming main eventer, or even at best throw him in faction with some main eventers to eat pins. But he wasn't going to be an Austin or Rock or even a Randy Orton.>>21372109All he got over on was his catchphrase, which was saying his own name.
>>21371919honestly the main thing against him was that he was average at best in the ring, absolutely no one can point at one of his matches and pretend like they were any good, his TNA stuff sucked
>>21373998He literally had the best match of Kurt Angles career.
Why not? He was entertaining and him being Vince's bastard son would have been a good character with lots of stories.
>>21374165>We never got the storyline where Mr. Kennedy fucks his step-sister Stephanie under Vince's orders
>>21372011I really don't remember that much love for him, for a similar kind of guy I thought Carlito got a lot more
>>21372053op wasn’t alive for any of these things so I question what “reminds him” of anything. There’s not a single instance you can find of anyone ever saying this in any archive or anyone’s actual memory that was around then. But he thinks a smark could have said this. So it’s it must be true.
>>21372385Are you stupid? This isn't the Greatest Wrestling Match of All Time this is the Greatest Wrestling Match EverTwo very different things
