Anderson had nothing but great things to say about Jim Cornette
It seemed like an honest assessment by Jim.
Ken Anderson is a Paul Heyman guy. Cornette never really saw anything in him but Heyman did as soon as he took over control of OVW. Anderson has even credited Heyman with helping him develop the character he became known for.
I like mr Anderson felt he was a breath of fresh air when WWE was getting stale 05 period .
Marc Duncan He honestly wants could’ve been more.
@@outlawrip-offartist4161 But thanks to Triple H, Kennedy never risen to become a main eventer in WWE. They fucked him over his Money In The Bank briefcase he won at Wrestlemania 23 and gave it to Edge over a flase alarm over a bicep injury they claimed that would have taken him 6 months to return only to return a month later as the injury wasn't as bad as they claimed. Kennedy got fucked.
@@retrogamermax8287 musta missed the wellness policy suspension lol.
I agree with this. This was about the time I quit watching. I seen they were going to push Randy Orton to the moon, and I just couldn't stand another slow-as-molasses fake looking match which buries the business from Randy Orton.
"Roided up, Stone Cold wanna be". Really? First off, the man was never a big guy. He was an average size wrestler with no insane bulk. Secondly, what the hell does Kennedy/Anderson have to do with Stone Cold? Kennedy created a very unique persona with the microphone from the ceiling drop/announce your own name (twice) with an absolute hilarious voice to top it off. He had well above average mic skills and he was close to average in the ring wrestling wise. The bottomline is he was nothing like Stone cold and I guarantee he had zero goals of being like him. Like Stone Cold, Kennedy was a once in a lifetime gimmick of a character and you won't see anyone like him any time soon.
In TNA Ken Anderson was calling himself Mr.Asshole
Injuries badly derailed his WWE run, Ken had the definite makings of a main eventer in that era.
Even though he got caught up with steroids he never looked like he took them
@ and KENnedy wAS annoying as Will ferrell; so, fuck him.
Unless you saw tapes of him early on. Him and Daivari. Both guys looked way skinny until they started on the gas.
@@bradpaton3927 I agree that entrance when he would yell his name... cringe and it's not like he sounds like Kevin conroy so wtf.
@@thedarknightreturns1994 MIIIIISSSSTTTEERRRRR KENNNEEEDDDAAAAYYYYY
I thought he could have been a top 2 or 3 guy in WWE if Orton hadnt gotten him fired.
kmew94
And if he wasn't injury prone, prone to being injured, and going on camera saying he'd been tested for steroids and then getting caught up in steroid scandal.
Fuck orton.
Dude could actually talk. Just watched a promo from years ago between him, Sting, AJ styles, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Bubba Ray.
They all had their turn on the mic and I don't like this guy so I dont say this lightly - dude made every single one of those guys sound like amateurs. I won't talk about his ring works but that dude had some of the best mic and promo skills in the business at his heyday.
Mr. Anderson had a pretty good run in TNA if y'all would just watch. Even held the world title
Yep he sure did better than his wwe run I always loved his entrance with the mic introducing himself classic stuff
Brian Stone and his matches were better because he was taken more seriously and put in bigger matches where he was able to shine
The feud with angle was awesome, the bully feud was fun. The name change wasn’t too bad, had a decent ring to it like “Kennedy” did. The guy is underrated. Always one of my favorites
To steal a line from Cornette, a good run in TNA is like being the nicest guy in prison.
@@SuperDevolution Yep, pretty much. It sucks to know that Kennedy's best years were wasted on TNA. He did put on some great matches during that time, though.
Kennedy could cut a damn good promo with ease yes injuries hurt his push in WWE, always thought he should of been where Miz is now currently with the company
I agree I enjoyed Anderson promos he way better than the miz
Well, not just his injuries but the injuries he was inflicting on others.
@@shindean That was bogus...Orton bitched about nothing and was fine. There was a vendetta against him because he was becoming more popular than the top guys liked.
@@thenaturallyinsane1 and he dumped Orton on his clavicle with that shit attitude, and hurt himself in his 1st match back. Don't hurt the talent is a solid idea for any company to follow.
@Last Drop Falls yeah nobody stopped Kennedy except himself, and Miz has a job because he never really fights for more than a paycheck
Went looking and saw him (Kennedy) matched against Booker (Taz and Cole and Christian on the mic, and Charmelle at ringside) and it was a very good match. Kennedy played it extremely well, while Booker is among the best ever. Everything was fine . . . except for one passage that left both men bent over . . . someone miscued . . . but it was taken up again in short order, without anyone looking around for direction. Storytelling by Kennedy was first rate.
Mr. Anderson was great in WWE and TNA.
Ken Kennedy is from my hometown so he was always a favorite of mine, it was just cool to see a guy i somewhat knew on television
"Roided up Stone Cold wannabe."
Meanwhile, the real Stone Cold is on record for being "roided up."
Who in the hell is Mr. Anderson? " Ladies and gentlemen -na. Weighting 248 pounds, from Green bay Wisconsin -na....Mrrrrrrrrr. KENNEDY......Keeeennnneeeddyyyy!!"
Mr kennedy kennedyyyyyyyyy
Lame then, lame now
Ken Andersen is from my hometown, they billed him from greenbay but hes really from two rivers. Hes a huge hero to most people in the area and the number of times I've met him he was awesome, of course that was before he made wwe, he was just doing outlaw shows in the area at the time
Tank had a brother named Chad
When Kennedy showed up, I thought he had the potential to be the future of the WWE. I wish he had succeeded, we wouldn't have to deal with Reigns outside of the midcard today.
don't think ... Kennedy would have been over. Maybe 3 or 4 years and I would leave the company or pass the torch to who else Roman Reings.
People like to say this guy could have been great if WWE pushed him. Thing is, they DID push him in late '06 and '07. His injury scare finished things off but even before that, you could tell the crowd didn't buy him as a top heel in the making. (His match against Undertaker at No Mercy '06 is a good example of this.) At least they tried.
Not really. He was white hot when on Smackdown, and was one of the top heels there. Besides that, as far as I can find, Kennedy was only significantly injured twice throughout his time in wwe. I wouldn't count the misdiagnosed torn tricep because that only sidelined him for like a week. The more likely story is that he opened his mouth when he shouldn't have, then got caught with steroid, and there were definitely some people who just plain didn't like him. A lot of the old-timers during that era tried to hold people back.
The fans didn’t buy him? Lmao just stop
Delusional thinking
Kennedy was so underrated but knowing WWE track record that's nothing new... WWE screwing up so many people that could've been something: Alex Riley is the example that gets tossed around a lot. Good theme music, average wrestler, was over.
CJ Sellers
Alex Riley was the shits no personality, no good promos, boring matches where he sometimes sandbags.
As for Kennedy though dude was not underrated he was getting pushes when he wasn't either injured or contradicting himself about not testing positive for steroids.
@@ahmeddemha6112 I don't know why people are so hung up about Alex Riley. He never did anything impressive. People act like he could have been the face of WWE. Please, that was never going to happen.
Ken Anderson should have been a big star except for the fact that he was very hard to work with.
He was sloppy in the ring and was prone to stupid shit like his comments about the Benoit incident and getting popped in a roid scandal and was injury prone. That is what killed his career
When did you work with Anderson?
Hard to work with according to whom?
At the height of KK in the WWE he was a good mic guy but his in ring stuff was like 6.2(just getting by). As time went on it went down to like 5.1 to 4.3 at times.B/c he keep hurting guys with stiff potatoes and keep trying to add weird stuff to his moveset, like a capoeira kicks and steel step DDT'S lol.
Plus Ken never had a real finisher.
That was a Hairy question.
Triple H shut him down in WWE.. and it wasn't even Ken's fault. I wish WWE would just admit that they don't have a time machine. They bring people back, but it's always someone who was already over.. with that brass..😖
It was actually John Cena and Randy Orton
He would've been a big star in WWE but bad timing with injuries fucked him over and some people didn't like how he worked and then Randy Orton got him fired. He was great in TNA because they let him be himself, but it's not his fault neither Brian nor Jim saw any of his work there
Remember when he threw his mic at undertaker and sparks came out haha wrestling
It's all about the visual brutha! Lol
I loved to hare this guy in my early teens. Great performer.
What was his finisher??
Daven Watts The STO. He used to do a rolling Samoan Drop off the middle rope but that stops being a viable move when you're wrestling someone who isn't a Cruiserweight
I think he had a swanton as his finisher. I seem to remember it being called the Ken-ton Bomb.
krazyeman4 thanx
Cybele Ophis nice, don't remember that
Daven Watts
he also used the mic check
The Dicks. Quite possibly the most homoerotic gimmick in the history of wrestling. Yes, gayer than Adrian Adonis and Goldust. Their gimmick was rubbing baby oil all over each other. I'm not kidding. Vince has issues.
Been killing brain cells for the last fifteen years trying to forget that... Thanks? :-P
Michael Crosby
billy and chuck****
William Schaeffer the fucking ceremony! 😓💀😪
Well yeah just watch a old WBF or Tuesday night Titans and hear Vince basically get off to big sweaty men.
Good, WWE needs more homoeroticism.
Apparently Brian Last was living under a rock because Mr. Anderson was with TNA from 2010-15
Forgettable run did nothing
Brian didn't watch TNA
Ken Anderson was one of those guys who would have been a midcarder at best in the Attitude Era in either major company. He might have developed into something in ECW in the 90s with the right gimmick and some creative freedom. He did nothing for me as a babyface and was basically HHH light as a heel. The problem is that he suffered from the same affliction a lot of guys have in the last 20 years. No creative freedom. WWE is basically what they were pre-Attitude Era, where one guy calls the shots, turns you into a cartoon character because, up until recently, they were the only game in town, you either went with it or they let you go. When he went to TNA, he was basically the same blah character he'd been in WWE. Shane Douglas/Troy Martin as "The Franchise" was 10x the wrestler and 100x the promo that Anderson was, and as a result, any kind of push wasn't going to work.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Undertaker and Kane destroying this guy and that MVP character.
It was beautiful. You could see Glen and Mark had fun doing it. :)
MVP was pretty damn good though. He should have had a run at the top.
@@julesmcgrules3860 yeah mvp was a don they fucked up turning him babyface
Once Cena became the top guy I was done with WWE for good.
who cares
kennedy. kennedy
Anderson matches are boring. He has a mic skills and the look though.
Mr. Kennedy got over on his own and WWE hates that. Cena and Orton a few years later finished him off.
Cena was injured at the time.
WWE was going to push him hard, but he made the company look bad during the Benoit stuff and got suspended when they were going to do a big angle with him, kept getting injured at the wrong times, and was hurting main eventers, on top of all that.
They were pushing him hard, you fucking mark.
The Masked Heel Sorry. I don’t have a catch handle such as you.
@Anonymous Anonymous go batch and watch. You don't land on your neck from a move that normally lands you on your back if you're not moving or sandbagging someone.
He wasn't that good in the ring!!! I can't recall 1 good classic mr Kennedy/Anderson match EVER
Dolla Man mvp feud had couple of good ones
Most of his best matches happened in TNA. He had some classics with Bully Ray, Kurt Angle, and Samoa Joe.
He had great angles against Taker, what are you talking about? You should check those out bud!
His Angle cage match in TNA was good as hell. In WWE he was a solid middle-of-the-road guy, not a jobber not a VIP. If they hadn't tried to push or bury him, dude could've stuck around forever
@@iketinknocker5033 angles yes but no match
Never liked Mr Kennedy. I thought he was corny on the mic even as a kid
I would never say Mr. Kennedy had a long successful career. I don't agree with Jim on that. His career was mediocre at best
One of the most overrated and overhyped wrestlers ever.
not even close
Dude could actually talk. Just watched a promo from years ago between him, Sting, AJ styles, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Bubba Ray.
They all had their turn on the mic and I don't like this guy so I dont say this lightly - dude made every single one of those guys sound like amateurs. I won't talk about his ring works but that dude had some of the best mic and promo skills in the business at his heyday.
lol wut?
