While I still liked him early in his TNA run, I think the first moment Anderson really faltered in my view was that time he turned up on Raw while injured with a horrible goatee to cut a promo about the movie he had coming out. He just felt like so much less of a big deal than he ever had before in that moment and I don't think he ever really recovered from it.

In fairness, I thought he was the next Austin until he left WWE. Then I was just less excited about him in TNA, because I was less excited about TNA. And then TNA rapidly exposed him. I didn't think he was going to be the next Austin but in the WWE he definitely felt like a big deal with the announcing gimmick... then he basically messed up every single time the WWE were going to push him... by getting suspended or injured. Then a lot of wrestlers refused to work with him because he was wreckless... then he dumped Orton right on his bad shoulder after coming back from time off and that was it... WWE tried like hell to push him but the fact he faltered there was entirely on Kennedy.... Kennedy. He helped ruin the Sam Shaw, Dexter gimmick It was bad enough that Impact turned Shaw from what was going to be a calm and cool calculated type wrestler to a wacko who lives with his mom and has bunk beds but Anderson no sold everything They even did a stupid bit where Sam Shaw threatned to jump off the cage and "end it all" and Anderson just comes out and says do it so we can move on I remember a group of segments that took all night where he went out drinking with James Storm... I forget the context other than the two were feuding and Anderson was the Face... so they were talking and drinking all night... But swerve bro! Anderson wasn't actually drinking so he attacks a drunken James Storm from behind... Somehow we are supposed to think Anderson was the good guy here. Yea, it is still funny people tried to give WWE shit for getting rid of Kennedy but he had instances of doing that stupid shit and dumping Randy on his shoulder after coming back from surgery was the last straw. Rumor was people didn't want to work with him Yea, I remember that segment. I think this is right before Storm did the whole cult Wyatt rip off shit

He was great as a heel in TNA and around the time he was feuding with Taker. Huh?

I'm saying he was great at both times. The word 'and' there.

He came into wrestling later in life so he was always injury prone but he made it worse in his ring style. I read in an interview another wrestler talking about Kennedy and how he didnt want to fall like the other wrestlers. Said it looked fake so he tried to fall more realistically and to set him apart. Not understanding that the reason everyone falls the same way is its the safest way and to avoid unnecessary wear and tear and injury.

I remember this and remember thinking the exact same thing, like just the air from a balloon being let out.
