      +sXeJerichoHolic It wasn't so much the injuries ( He said in the interview that the injury that really screwed him over was the supposed Tricep tear in 07 that caused them to take the MITB from him and he didn't even tear his Tricep, they lied and screwed him out of a World Title) I think that a lot of people just didn't like him in WWE.

      +Jacob Pickerin I'm pretty sure that Randy and Jeff Hardy violated the Wellness Policy more than Anderson did. I'm not trying to dismiss what you've said cause I agree he should've never taken anything, but notice how they've always been more lenient with Hardy and Orton because they're Triple H's guys, but Anderson got the shafted because certain guys didn't like his attitude.

      He should interfere in Shane vs Taker match for revenge against his own 'father' to help out Vince's actual son. Besides, he should have revenge on Taker since he had a feud with him back in late '06, but I'm thinking now that Sting will win now.

      @entertainmentfan1463 Před 2 lety +4

      @TheDreamSmasher "Injured Cena a week before he was supposed to drop the strap to Orton" - That's not true. If you watch their match, Cena injured himself when he armdrag Anderson and popped his shoulder in the process. Anderson sold the move perfectly, but Cena likely suffered from a common ware and tear incident.
      Anderson noticed quickly then protected Cena's shoulder for the rest of the match.

      Thomas Hardy lol only manchild is you hating on a random wrestler for no apparent reason. What did Orton do? He didn’t get ken fired if that’s what you think. Ken did by being an asshole backstage and burning bridges he had. The botched suplex on Orton was just the nail in the coffin. Ken Kennedy said so himself that the botched suplex wasn’t the sole reason they fired him. And ken also said on Austin’s podcast that Orton forgave him for the botched suplex and tried voguing for him when he herd they were firing him. Only one who ended Kens career was him. That’s why he’s humble now. He’s accepted it was his fault and his mistakes and he’s at peace.
