Good Bye Mr Kennedy

Mr Kennedy,wwe,wrestling

After a 10 month break to rehabilitate his injured shoulder, Mr.Kennedy was released by the WWE just four days after his return.
Why?
It appears the WWE was concerned about pushing a major star that's injury prone (like Candice Michelle?).
And also in his return match, he did a poorly executed supplex that almost injured Randy Orton.
And he allegedly injured his own wrist taking an RKO from Orton.
I hate to see him go.
He has exceptional mic skills and with the proper push, I think he could have been a major star.
So I guess in about 90 days we'll see him pop up in TNA.
BTW, if you check out his website http://www.ken-kennedy.com/ , you'll see a video of him shaking out his wrists showing that he is not injured.

Now that he's gone from WWE, you can still keep up with him on Twitter and his Facebook account.

Jim Ross had a few words about Ken's release on his blog at JRsBarBQ.com......

"It is regrettable that WWE decided to release Mr. Kennedy, that ring name will be long gone, as he was at the age to really begin to come into his own. Injuries have plagued the Wisconsin native for a good part of his career but as best I know Kennedy is 100% as we speak. Without question, Kennedy has a definable upside and he will hopefully continue his journey in this biz and make his dreams become realties. Take it from me being released isn't the end of the world and things in our lives have a way of working out for the best unless one throws in the towel and simply says "what the hell?" As I mentioned before, a change of scenery sometimes is what the doctor ordered. Hopefully this will work out for the best for all involved. For the record, I do not know why Kennedy was released and look at that matter as none of my business."

Reading that, it looks almost like Good Ole JR is saying " Go to TNA".

Of course wrestling isn't the only venue Mr. Kennedy could pursue.
He appeared in a film "Fighting The Still Life", directed by Matt Burns (Sick Nick Mondo) and he appeared as MCPO Carter Holt in "Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia".
