PLEASE explain why and how Mr. Kennedy/Mr. Anderson was ever worth a sh*t?!

He was always the drizzling shyts I thought. I remember in the dying days of me watching shytty TNA he was trying to get over this "a$$hole" thing, and it went over like a fart in church. If this mother fukker got hit by a train, right in front of me, I think I'd just shrug my shoulders.

I only saw his work in WWE but his entrance made me think that this was some indie guy that was about to show me some impressive performances

He never delivered though

He was clearly a legit pickup-driving, redneck piece of shyt dudebro. He was able to connect with the WWE audience, a large portion of which were pickup-driving, redneck piece of shyt dudebros.

He also had a catchphrase where he yelled at the top of his longs for a long time and the crowd liked yelling along with him.

So in a hilarious way, he was like a combo of Stone Cold and the Rock, in the most perfunctory, superficial way.

Pretty much this. They were building him very well actually. he started from the bottom as a pasty jobber years ago, started using that cool Green Bay Plunge(?) finisher on Velocity, worked his way up to the main roster and eventually won the US title

They even made him look credible heading into feuds with Taker


But that Wellness Violation along with him "botching" a backdrop against Orton basically ended everything. I think he may have gotten injury prone too


Leap. Lambeau Leap.

I fukked with Ken Kennedy heavy. Was sad to see dude fukk up. Didn't follow his Anderson run so I can't speak to it, but I was definitely a fan.

Because Paul Heyman saw something in him and helped develop his character and the Kennedy name.

Besides being Vince's middle name, Paul E knew Anderson would never fly because of how much Vince hates Ole.

He had a great gimmick to cutting a promo and spoke well.
He had one great moment in tna in his run for the title versus meth hardy and exposing the garbage that was the blueprint incomparison to his workrate/quality..
Yet I was happy to see him finally exposes himself and sting going over him.
Put the final nail in the coffin for him as a believeable character to most moving forward.

I can explain why

I was a big kennedy fan for a while. Wrestling fans like tough guys...and Kennedy came across as tough guy/shyt talker/a$$hole. And he was a natural jerk and came across as natural with his heel work. He didnt seem like an act...he legit came across as a total jackass you wanted to see get beat. Thats hard to find.

The entrance made him seem special, and that translates to fans as well.

He had a good look, and was decently over. His return before he botched and embarassed the company was working.
Bobby Roode fit that same bill to a T :ohhh:
