Mr. Matrix name: "This right here, this is Omos, and he's 7 foot something tall, and you can't teach that. And my name is Ken Anderson, and I'm a certified Anderson and a bonafide wrestler, and you can't teach that." Omos: "He's right, you can't teach that, I know."

In the long run, it seems WWE dodged a bullet.

His shoot interviews and such always painted him as kind of a dick. It's also pretty telling that in the wrestling business of all places he hasn't really been a big name in damn near a decade despite having been in some big promotions.

It's a surreal thing to go back to stuff like GAB 2006 where Miz is just some nobody backstage interviewer asking Kennedy questions when the former essentially ended up having the career so many thought the latter would experience.

He briefly sorta recaptured something in TNA, but even that was fleeting, and as you say, like 10 years ago. Even there, he couldn't sustain it in that smaller pond than his WWE run.

Misteeeer Con-edy (Con-edy!)
With a lot of his generation of WWE developmental talent, the company dicked them around in some way so they ever achieved all they should have. Kennedy, well, they put the world at his feet and he killed his own career with the failed drug test after doing a media tour claiming he was clean. He got Bob Holly fired from the WWE and helped remove another pillar of wrestler's court so he'll always have that.
Wasn't his school well regarded for a time? Guess the other trainers were responsible for most of that and they all headed to greener pastures.

For some reason I never liked him. Not in the way that I don't like a wrestler, but in the way that I don't like a human being.

I think both work for the WWE now as trainers or producers. I think they helped with their reputation.

His graduation certificates look real cheap like something a little kid did pretending like they were doing a wrestling school.
I hate stories like this though. People have dreams and when they dream it's very easy to be taken. I'm sure people especially think "it's a WWE wrestler" he has to be legit. I would love to see more regulation on training schools. Hopefully word can get out there and maybe the scammed people can get something good out of this.

To each their own, but f*** did it suck when every message board was championing Ken Kennedy and WWE Heat-era Val Venis around 2006.

I've been a big, big fan of Anderson's since the first time I saw him in WWE.
With that said, if this is true, wow. This doesn't sit well with me at all.

There was the end of the Aces and Eights, and Anderson at that time seemed like he had got his mojo back, but awful feuds with Bully Ray and Sam Shaw put paid to that.

What the hell are these lyrics?! [Sons Of Anarchy noises] It sounds, and looks, like the intro to a reality show about a landscaping company staffed by halfway house prisoners. "On an all new BIG YARD MOWERS, Scootch gets his driver's license suspended. Will Uncle Sal send him packing???"
