from the Orton-forum where he occasionally posts (and yes, it is him)
I think Kennedy just prefers to think the main eventers (like Cena and HHH) were out to get him because he was an upcoming star, rather than he was just a clumsy wrestler.
He made another post

Funny, I thought when Randy finishes posting something on the internet he'd punt his monitor.

Why does he keep talking shit about Kennedy?
Not just now, he's been on this campaign against Mr. Anderson for a LONG ass time, way before Orton supposedly got injured by him.

Why does he keep talking s*** about Kennedy? Not just now, he's been on this campaign against Mr. Anderson for a LONG ass time, way before Orton supposedly got injured by him. When did he do that?

I recall a couple of interviews while Kennedy was still on injured leave, Orton kept talking about how unprofessional he was. The IWC was calling him a hypocrite because Orton had done stupid bulls*** too.
I know I didn't just imagine this...

Well, in any case, Anderson himself and others are doing a good job of keeping him fresh in people's minds.

I can't recall Orton ever calling Kennedy unprofessional before all that happened. They were close friends.
It clears up something though: Orton did play a role in his firing. Telling management he didn't want to work with probably contributed to what happened. Cena and HHH complained about him too, according to the f4w newsletter.

In regards to the drop, they both had a lot of momentum going into the move. I don't think its impossible that Orton also contributed to the move's botch.

I think Kennedy just prefers to think the main events (like Cena and HHH) were out to get him because he was an upcoming star, rather than he was just a clumsy wrestler. I think that's part of it, but I think there's probably a little more to it and some truth to what Kennedy says, because he doesn't criticize all of the main eventers, only HHH and another unnamed that people assume to be Cena. The part of Kennedy's interview where he talks about how he and Orton were friends and then showing up at the arena and Orton being cold to him was something that stuck out to me as the kind of thing a person probably wouldn't make up. And if you've ever had a similar thing happen with a friend, you know that you either did/said something, or the person at least thinks you did. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody got into Orton's ear about Kennedy.

Going to management and saying "look, this guy isn't safe to work with, I don't want to work with him anymore" is far from what I'd call abusing political clout. I would do the same thing.

Based on the reactions to his return and immediate dismissal, I'm probably one of the few fans Kennedy had left on this forum. I absolutely loved the guy and was disappointed they let him go. But if that F4W report is true (big if, because I tend to take all the backstage stuff very lightly) then I can't complain. You just can't have a guy around if he's a threat to the other wrestlers. I'm still not going to bash the guy and rip him to shreds, but I can't really defend his position either.

You can't dismiss the stuff about Ken being unsafe as backstage rumours, when you've actually got these guys coming and saying they didn't want to wrestle him.

Wasn't he the one in the match where Cena got hurt in 2007? I don't know if he contributed, but I do know for sure that Randy Orton benefited from it.

Orton needs to write in (ORTON STARE) into his comments so we can better visualize him.
Also, hasn't Kennedy's No-Compete expired by now? He could go to TNA if he wanted.

There's a big difference between not liking someone and bitching to management and somone being completely unsafe to work with and bitching to management. If he was that dangerous then concerns needed to be raised. Its not something that can be just swept under the carpet. In this industry that can prove disastrous.
