Does anyone remember his awesome heel run on SD? It's really sad because TBK had the best mix of being effeminate and cocky. And for a guy his size, they gave him one hell of a push! Remember when he went over both Jeff Hardy and Triple H? And who could forget that 5 minute WWE Championship run.
Good times. Its too bad he had to (literally) blow it all away in smoke.

I wasn't able to really watch much from August 2008 onward, but what I saw of it was incredible.
Really wish he would have stuck with it. I didn't realize the push was that monster though. When did he go over Hardy and Trips?

Never forget. I would put that as one of the greatest wrestling gifs ever. Brian Kendrick; WWE Champion.

Brian Kendrick is one of my favorite wrestlers ever, so it was great seeing him in that position, rising up the card and getting to showcase his charisma. That said, he totally f***ed himself over by putting his "recreation" ahead of business. His fault.

If he's serious about giving up drugs and getting back in WWE I wouldn't be surprised to see him back. He has a lot of talent, and he wasn't treated too badly for the most part.
He'd be a perfect Main Eventer for their rumoured Cruiserweight Show.

I am no fan of Kendrick's work, but this heel run was brilliant.
I loved the gimmick, just adding 'the' to his name made him such a douche, it was perfect. The dance was awful, and it made me want to see him get murdered halfway through it on the entrance ramp.
I loved to hate him. I thought the gimmick had legs.

When did he go over Hardy and Trips? It was one the Smackdown's leading up to the Scramble match. Though he did when with the help of Ezekiel Jackson with Trips and Hardy.

Kendrick is my absolute favorite, watching his run as "The Brian Kendrick" was like a dream come true! He's stopped smoking now, so maybe there is a chance WWE would have him back, I really hope so at least.

I thought both he and Paul London were destined for great things before drugs and a juvenile attitude problem got in the way, respectively. If Kendrick gets a second chance and keeps clean, he might have a main event run in his future.

that was a great gimmick, it's too bad he decided that pot was more important then getting a title run

I don't know about main-eventing (the guy is just TINY), but definitely a solid mid-card act.

Now was his name Kendrick and he was a Brian? Or was he a Brian Kendrick? Better yet, was it he just a The?

He'd be a perfect Main Eventer for their rumoured Cruiserweight Show. He's said he is in a shoot but it's too bad because I think he burned too many bridges with the image he created of himself on his way out. I doubt he'd ever get resigned.

I thought both he and Paul London were destined for great things before drugs and a juvenile attitude problem got in the way, respectively. If Kendrick gets a second chance and keeps clean, he might have a main event run in his future. I see there being a possibility that at least Kendrick could be brought back. I actually thought he was interesting in TNA's X-Division and that character was about as diametrically opposed to his interesting run in the WWE as The Brian Kendrick. That means that he has a lot of range and can play an interesting heel and an interesting face to go along with the fact that he is a good worker. London I think is a lost cause at this point. Sure, he is a good worker (or at least he was last time he worked a match that anyone has seen) but he has spent pretty much then entire time since he got released somehow acting more like a douche online than even Matt Hardy has. Considering that Matt faked a suicide message online during his spin into madness last year that is saying something. Add to that the fact that despite the joke by McMahon during the second walk to the limo end to Raw segment, he had to have pissed them off by taking the piss out of what was supposed to be their biggest angle of the year (prior to the Beniot incident, of course).
