Is it just me or does Kennedy seem reminiscent of a John Cena from 2003? Think about it . Cena was hurt and could not compete at Wrestlemania 19, but instead challenged Jay Z to a rap-off. He's got all this charisma and this character and he's slowly getting bigger. Then one month after Wrestlemania he challenges Brock Lesnar to a WWE Title match and even dominated Lesnar on an episode of Smackdown.
Kennedy started out as a really annoying, no name jobber on Velocity and I thought he was so annoying, but his promos got better and better and now I love him. Kennedy got hurt but stayed on TV a little bit after his injury just to remind the people that he's still there. Then within months after returning he's a bigger heel than anyone else on Smackdown IMO and has already beaten Mysterio, Benoit, Undertaker, Batista, Kane, and is a former US champ. Cena fought all the big names early on, such as Undertaker, Benoit, Guerrero, Lesnar, Angle, but he lost to virtually all of them. So they're different in that way but I still see Kennedy as the next John Cena in terms of Main Event push, eventual face turn (where I hope they don't Cena him too) and the fans will love and then hate him.

I dunno.
I enjoyed the hell out of him on Velocity. I thought his initial push was great.
But that time off really hurt him, I think. While his wrestling is still good, the character kinda wore down. There was a smoothness in his deliveries that went away in that downtime.
Perhaps if he'd still be wrestling and getting to develop his character in the ring instead of getting hurt (I forget how exactly) I'd think a bit higher of him than I do now.
He's good.......but I keep thinking he could be better.

Yes he is although I liked Cena a lot more in 2003 I just hope Kennedy doesn't go the same route as Cena character wise

Once he goes babyface I'll care less. He's already getting stupid. He used to be funny but now he's just intense or whatever the hell that is he is doing. It's like what they did with Kurt Angle.

I predicted when he first debuted that in a few years time, he would be the most despised wrestling in the WWE just like John Cena is. I'm wondering if it will eventually hold up.

Cena in 2003 blew away Ken Kennedy from any year.

Cena was good in 2003, but I don't think he was that much better than Kennedy.
As for ring talent, if anything Kennedy is equal if not better.

I still think Kennedy will be one of the most hated men on the Internet by the end of the summer.

Well, Kennedy is better in the ring by a little bit in terms of what he can do, but I like Cena's quickness and delivery better. And in terms of character, Kennedy is kind of 'love him or don't care', and I'm in the latter bit. He talks loudly ... I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of that.
I do like the JFK / Kryptonite Krunch, however.

Kennedy is better in the ring...but I remember in 2003 we thought Cena was going to bring in another boom period. Granted he does make money, but nowhere near as much as I thought he would. Seriously. I thought Wrestlemania 21 was going to be the start of a new boom period for WWE.

Kennedy isn't better in the ring than Cena, not by a long shot.
Cena gives off that star vibe whenever he enters the ring, like him or not, he has a certain quality that can't be faked, and it makes each of his matches seem more special by doing so. Kennedy, doesn't do much of anything and doesn't give any type of special feel to his matches. Even when he was in the ring with the almighty Undertaker, he still seemed like the same ol' boring Mr. Kennedy, who's been wasting everyone's precious time for the last year now.
