That promo he gave on Raw had no life at all while he was being interviewed by Maria. Randy Orton did a much better job than that when he started out. But I cant count him out yet because I remember when the rock was just as bad.

Kenny sucks really bad at everything to me.
He's not even a heel I want to see get his ass beat.
He's a heel that makes me change the channel.

His mic skills aside, he's just plain generic. His name, attire, music, and (lack of) gimmick are all so boring. He's a decent wrestler obviously, but I could care less about him, at least right now.

He needs the Spirit Squad gimmick back, at least that got him some decent heat. I could care less about some guy called "Kenny Dykstra" who comes out to canned rock music.

He's about up to power with the rest of the new guys they shove at you as being great...but sadly doesn't live up to the hype such as Cena & Kennedy etc.

That's the problem right there. The guy is a good wrestler IMO. I don't think giving him the Spirit Squad gimmick back is the right idea though. I don't know why they didn't have him join Rated RKO like it seemed was gonna happen, so the lack of gimmick wouldn't have mattered as much. |

Since WWE loves referencing topical, relevant pop culture references....
Dress him in an orange parka, and each week he's killed in some way...hit by a car, the lighting rig falls on him, ETC, prompting JR to scream "BAH GAWD, KANG! THEY'VE KILLED KENNY! YOU BASTARDS!"

Pair him with Ric Flair, the minute i saw them together fueding i thought it was great, but then when he came out in one of the Nature Boy robes he just looked like a logical successor.
Have Flair pass the torch. They even look a bit alike.

He just need something with some lasting power. Both the Spirit Squad gimmick and the name Kenny Dysktra are things that are funny but seem very temporary, like one-off joke gimmicks.
Something it seems used to be common but doesn't happen much anymore is just giving guys a nickname to set them apart instead of a gimmick. For example, "The Rock" Don Muraco, "Handsome" Harley Race, "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. None of these were a gimmick per se, but still gave the guys a way to stand out.

I don't think he sucks on the mic. He's a good worker too. He's going on the youngster push. He's not even old enough to drink yet. There's his gimmick

he was actually much better in OVW, but thats how it is with everyone. He was, but once you come to WWE they dumb you down it's ridiculous. I didn't even bother to watch the Carlito/Kenny match, not interested in the least for it. BTW, who won Mercury/Hardy last night? |

Eh, he isn't great, but he's better than Lashely, so I don't mind him.

Hardy went all Quad Damage (the power up not the Kevin Nash and Triple H affliction of choice) on Mercury after Nitro and Melina got bannned from Ringside, so he won in about 2 minutes or so. I feel they should've given the time that Kenny/Carlito got to Mercury/Hardy. |
