That being said, Kennedy agrees that stringent drug testing is a good thing.
"Change is always good in any business. This company has changed a lot since I got here. Things are a lot different in the locker room. The atmosphere is a lot different. It's much different than it was 20 years ago."
Kennedy claims the drug problem is not as prevalent as it was years ago in the wrestling business.
"I know a lot of people don't want to hear this and it's not the most popular answer with everybody, but a lot of the guys who have passed away come from that era when this business was a rock-star atmosphere. These guys lived like rock stars and they partied like rock stars. They did all the drugs. I'm not condoning drug use - anything in moderation is OK - but these guys went to the absolute extremes. It's no wonder when you mix steroids with recreational drugs and alcohol ... the combination of those three is a deadly cocktail. They're experiencing heart problems and all kinds of other stuff. A lot of those guys are flat broke because of it."
Kennedy, an avid Packers fan who grew up in a small fishing village in Wisconsin called Two Rivers, about 30 miles south of Green Bay, says he plans to take full advantage of his opportunity in WWE. The company loves his blue-collar work ethic, drive and passion for the business, and McMahon views him as a potential Wrestlemania headliner.
"I worked so hard to get here," says Kennedy, noted for his unique gimmick of announcing his own ring introductions. "It wasn't like I was an overnight success. I worked about 6 1/2 years on the independents and spent about six months down in Louisville for OVW
