The Kennedy Chants

[MGH]

What did you think about the rather loud Kennedy chants towards the end of the Batista/Kennedy match? I don't care how big of a fan some people still may be of Batista, you can't tell me Kennedy didn't completely out shine him tonight. This was Kennedy's best match I've seen him have since his debut.

Do you think this was the crowd mildly turning on Batista? And on top of that, if in fact it's face Batista vs face Undertaker, do you see any other way it goes besides the crowd being 90% behind Taker?

Kennedy was really on fire. I haven't been so impressed with him ever before. His offence was really smart, and I loved how he kept on Batista's leg. This was kind of ruined after Batista forgot which leg to sell, and then stopped selling all together.

I really think Kennedy has a bright future. But let's hope they don't rush it.

Yeah, Kennedy is just more interesting IMHO. The crowds are starting to notice. Which of course means that the WWE will "Cena" his career and ruin him.

[Stu]

While not up to MSG levels, it seemed like San Antonio had a good share of smart fans. They knew he's the future.

Batista won't be cheered over 'Taker.

I'm not saying that because I'm a 'Taker fan, I'm just saying flat out.

The marks love 'Taker.

And the smarks (for the most part) would cheer 'Taker.

San Antonio actually seemed 50/50 on smarks and marks, as Cena was getting a fair share of boos as well

[Error]

Kennedy is so over right now that I think they would be better served to have Undertaker face Cena and have Kennedy face Batista at Wrestlemania, IMO.

I don't think the crowd was turning on Batista so much as, the smarks were louder than anyone else at that point (Cena also got a fair amount of boos at one point).

If it is Batista vs. Taker, Batista has to go heel as NO ONE would boo Taker after last night.

The Kennedy chants were great. I think they threw Batista off. Which is saying something, considering he looks like a lost buffoon anyway. Seriously, he looks terrible in the ring. And the handheld cam closeup of his balding-spot just made it worse. He's an old man who's so roided out that he's going to skip middle age and go straight to the AARP. Kennedy worked a body part, did some cool moves, worked well, and won the crowd over. Batista did absolutely nothing in the match worth noticing. At first I noticed when he hit the leg on the steps he talked to the ref, as if to make it legit, but then he botched remembering which leg. I hope he disappears soon, but that's probably not going to happen.

I think Kennedy got himself over during the match. When it started and when he came out, it didn't seem like anything special. But once they did the "Kennedy wins, but ref doesn't see" thing, that got him over. It was a really really stupid thing to do because its a spot that should be reserved for faces, but whatever.

First off smarks get him off his game. Remember his ECW apperence that he looked like a total idiot. Also wait, skipping middle age? He's already there! He's in his forties definitely and wouldn't be shocked if he was 50! Batista should lose the title ASAP! Although I don't really want to see another Kennedy-Taker match so he will lose at Wrestlemania hopefully!

Sadly though that was just the first step in Kennedy going face. It happened to Orton and Cena, and I think if he goes face it'll end up like Orton's turn

The Kennedy chants where great. I watched the PPV with my two friends and I actually called for the Kennedy chants in the match, it was nice to see the fans turn on Batista.

[Allison Reynolds]

I don't think the fans were turning against Batista, I think it just that the fans love Kennedy as well, especially after the ref bump then pin that a face normally would have, but Kennedy had instead.

["IcePic" Rick Cobos]

For awhile, that crowd really got behind Batista I must say, although I was impressed with Batista's selling.

[THEBUZZKILL]

He is the future of sports entertainment. I was happy to see Kennedy look really good tonight. I wonder now what they do with him at this point. Who will he feud with. Batista will be taking on the Taker, I just wonder where that leaves Kennedy in the mix.

[Allison Reynolds]

I think Kennedy will be in the next "Money in the Bank" match.
They shouldn't make one every year, but it's worked before so it'll probably happen.

But pretty soon we will know Winning MitB= Future Next Champion

[Kevin Hamilton]

Man Batista's been ROUGH performance wise since coming back. Tonight was no exception. Kennedy did some good stuff there.

[MGH]

I just got to watch it with clear commentary a few minutes ago. Reminded me of why I hate face announcers so much.

JBL: KENNEDY HAD HIM DOWN FOR A THREE COUNT COLE, THIS IS ROBBERY!

Cole: Yeah John, but he used a low blow.


I was begging, BEGGING JBL to say "Yeah and Batista won the title with a belt shot, what about it jackass?"

[Bobafett]

I think the arguement JBL brought forward instead was still good, when youre in a fight you look to hit anywhere be it in the face or a low blow

[joshawesome]

Kennedy is an awesome heel with awesome skills on a microphone, and WWE needs an awesome heel ughhhh
