I had to replay that so many times to see the actual impact, and visually it looked like nothing at all happened
Kennedy said the same thing.
RF Video Shoot Interview with Ken Anderson, Disc Two
On his last match with the company, the ten-man tag match, Ken talked about having a bad feeling all day. He rode with Orton for about a year and he thought things were fine but after the match, Orton was pissed and blamed Ken for dropping him on his head. Ken tried to apologize then Orton started to lecture him about safety. Orton got iced up by the trainer as Ken said he apologized up-and-down as Orton also apologized for overreacting then after Ken made a joke, Orton went off about him not taking things seriously. Ken felt that after another top guy got hurt, he would be working against curtain-jerkers then watched the match on his DVR at home and how Orton landed flat on his back with his neck not making any contact with the mat. Ken talks about hearing through the grapevine that if you saw it from another angle, Orton jumped so hard that Ken had to pull him back into him and actually ended up landing on Ken’s shoulder. Ken said he never saw Vince flip out after the match.
He got fired when Laurinaitis called him up and home. He told Ken that they were unhappy with how things went during that match and decided to no longer go with the Ken Kennedy character. Ken said he was shocked at the news but also relieved somewhat as he was struggling for over a year. He went back to working on Smackdown and how working with guys like the Undertaker, who let Ken piledriver him, and all of a sudden he was unsafe on RAW and always felt pressured on that show and felt his confidence go away.
Ken talked about before getting fired, he went into Vince’s office to ask if he was doing something wrong. Vince told him not to worry and he would be a part of the company but Ken never felt that when he came back through the curtain. He talks about being told that his promos were not real enough. Ken also said he texted Orton after getting fired but he never replied back.
