I don't know about Kennedy being dangerous, but he certainly has been making a lot of mistakes in the ring lately.
A few weeks ago, he flat out didn't sell the twist of fate (it seemed to be a complete accident, btw). Then, he was in the corner, and reacted to a big kick about 2 seconds too late.
He really hasn't been the same guy since he came back from his suspension. If I had to guess, I would say it's all psychological; his spirit is broken. The suspension, combined with the switch over to RAW (whose writing team doesn't seem to have a clue how to use his character) seems to be taking its toll on him.
I think he'll get his mojo back after a while. He's just kinda going through something right now. You can see it in his eyes, he's not a happy camper. Hopefully, when the fire finally does come back, it won't be too late.

No. Who got hurt in matches with him? Jeff Hardy? He fell because he lost his balance doing the whisper in the wind. John Cena? Cena has his own unique style of doing moves and hurt himself. Bobby Lashley? He was injured LONG before the match with kennedy and that match was merely an excuse to put him on the shelf. No i'm not saying this because i'm a kennedy mark. I'm saying it because WHEN THE HELL HAS HE INJURED ANYBODY? Don't forget at one point some people tried to blame him for Eddie Guerrero's death.

Cena has a . . . unique . . . way of doing certain moves, like how he always throws himself further than the person he's hip tossing. It's not surprising it ended up going wrong.
And don't forget how Kennedy got screwed out of his money in the bank briefcase.

I have personally never come across anyone who held that view, in fact, your mentioning it is the first I've heard. Obviously someone who held that view could never be taken seriously. No-one's saying he's the kiss of death to work with. However, his tendecy to sandbag opponents and make things more difficult for them does him slightly more dangerous to work with. I'd argue he's lucky no one else (sans Cena) ever got injured working with him. As for Cena's injury: it does look daming that a guy who never get injured, does get injured with a guy with a reputation for being sloppy. The most likely explanation is he did sandbag the move, and Cena over extended himself trying to make up for it. Not entirely Kennedy's fault, but it was probably his wrestling style that caused the injury. Simply put: I don't think he's dangerous in that all these guys are getting injured anytime they step in the ring with him, but he has a dangerous ring style that could (and has) lead to someone getting seriously hurt.

I haven't really kept a tally of injuries surrounding this cat, but I have noticed something weird...Mr. Kennedy commands your attention, but the he stumbles in his promos a lot or just doesn't connect when he's in a "verbal confrontation". Maybe its just me.

No-one's saying he's the kiss of death to work with. Sadly there were people even here on this forum that were saying that, because Eddie's last match was on a Smackdown against Kennedy. I don't think that's true, but I think Kennedy haters were just looking at Eddie as fodder for denouncing Kennedy further.

I don't think that's true, but I think Kennedy haters were just looking at Eddie as fodder for denouncing Kennedy further. What had happened was that, during Eddie's last televised match against Kennedy, Kennedy ended the match with a stiff chairshot to Eddie's head. When he died that following weekend, some people did some internet sleuthing and figured out that Eddie died because Kennedy f***ed up and nailed him too hard with a chair or something. Obviously, we all know that's not the case, but people really believed it.

I will say even though his matches aren't the best, I've always seen a bit of intensity in Kennedy's style, which is one reason I like him. He seems to take moves harder than he gives them, but he has a very quick style, throws punches and does moves with a quick snap and that might make him a risk.
As far as the Cena thing goes, I've watched that hip toss a lot of times and it looks pretty standard. It looks like Kennedy's selling it well, so I can't honestly say who I think is responsible, I just think it was a freak accident, which can happen in wrestling.
