Ok...... Kennedy was s***canned 4 days after returning......He didn't "Ask" to be released, opt out of his contract.....none of what happened was his "choice" If he did stay.....I think he'd be escorted out by security. Now.....If he hadn't been released when he was......I STILL think he'd have been released soon after. He was a bad combination of injury-prone and expendible, ruining both of his major pushes (MitB and the McMahon's Bastard Son Angle) due to injury or suspension. Personally.....I'm glad he's TNA's problem now, and when Mr. Kennedy/Anderson injures himself again (Not wishing ill, but the odds are NOT in his favor) they'll be the ones scrambling to re-book thier title scene. Is he really more injury-prone than: Triple H? Undertaker? Edge? Rey Mysterio? I don't think so.

If Kennedy has bashed HHH a lot, has he said anything about HBK?

Is he really more injury-prone than: Triple H? Undertaker? Edge? Rey Mysterio? I don't think so. I don't think he was any more injury prone.....He was simply more expendable at the time. The guys you mentioned had already proven themselves to be marketable commodities by the time of thier first MAJOR (4-6 month Absence) Injuries. Kennedy's first BIG injury occured in his debut year. Personally I think it was the combination of missing nearly 6 months during his first 2 years, his unfortunate injury after winning MitB, his Wellness violation after claiming to be clean, the spate of injuries he suffered in his last year (Dislocated Shoulder and supposedly a broken wrist in his final match), and the rumor that he "stiffed" Orton in his final match. Basically you had a guy that couldn't go a year without needing (Unscheduled) time off for one reason or another, that couldn't stay healthy enough so that a long-term plan could be made in booking him. So in essence I am saying he's more injury-prone than HHH, Taker, Rey, or Edge.....who didn't have a major sidelining injury until a good 6+ years into thier career. I'm not saying he's not GOOD at what he does, I'm just saying that he never had a real chance to prove that he's worth promoting before being sidelined.

Kissing Triple H's ass rather than looking like an ass taking childish shots at him in bad promos. Sorry...I let my rage out a little. I've found the last year of Kenderson's career has been more entertaining than the last five of HHH's combined. Kennedy's promos are light years ahead of HHH's, and cutting promos are about all Triple H can do somewhat competently these days.

Is he really more injury-prone than: Triple H? Undertaker? Edge? Rey Mysterio? I don't think so. No, but the main reason for his release is that most of WWE's main eventers felt he was unsafe to work with. Everyone from Orton, to Triple H, to Shawn Michaels, to John Cena complained about the way he worked, which is what lead to his WWE release.

He was going to be Vince McMahon's KAYFABE ILLEGITAMATE SON. How can anyone say they didn't want to push him? Kennedy screwed Kennedy.

He won MITB...no doubt he would've been World champion had he not got injured.
He would've had another title push somewhere down the line. If only he hadn't given Orton a belly to back suplex in that stupid basketball tag match.

I think he would have lost the MiTB case either way.
WWE realized there's not much of a future with this guy.
His move set is blandy. His look is vanilla (and that terrible back tattoo doesn't help). And his promos are not exactly riveting. .............riveting!
Oh I did it! Now push me WWE!

I've found the last year of Kenderson's career has been more entertaining than the last five of HHH's combined. Kennedy's promos are light years ahead of HHH's, and cutting promos are about all Triple H can do somewhat competently these days. Respectfully but strongly disagree. In Hunter's last year up to his hiatus he had a lot more memorable and enjoyable matches than Kennedy has put on well... in his major league career so far. Ones that immediately jump to mind are the series with Sheamus, a TV match with Cena and the DX vs Legacy series, as well as the TLC match against Show and Jericho. The only match of Kennedy's I'd put even close to Hunter's would be the one with Angle, and Angle is a broomstick guy. Also, and I've spoken with several guys I know who wrestle that agree with me, and having done it myself in the past, I can't watch Kennedy wrestle without cringing. The way he takes moves looks downright dangerous to the person delivering them. His mid-move selling is a real bad point for me. His promo schtick is beyond irritating too and not in a 'I want to see him get his ass kicked' kind of way. He's a big reason I can't make it through an episode of Impact.
