Was he the original smark darling shitter? Completely unremarkable shitter that had nothing for him except a catchphrase but smarks thought he should be world champion... grim

This is one of the revisionist things people on this board say that baffles me. I remember Kennedy being hated for being a copy of two gimmicks that weren't that far removed from 2006 WWE, and for having a sloppy moveset. He was not a smark darling and I'd argue that his popularity mostly came from kids who loved his entrance and guys like me who didn't mind if someone ripped off entertaining gimmicks. I thought he was great on SmackDown and showed some promise in TNA after being thoroughly buck broken by Orton and Cena. I don't know if he ever would've been THE guy, but if we redo the Mr. Kennedy character in a sim, we experienced one of the worst versions of his career.

weren't they about to give him a pretty big push before he left the company?
don't remember what happened but I think he got injured or some unlucky shit happened, and he never got the chance again.

This is retarded, smarks were climbing over each other to big this guy up. Kids hated him because kids are always marks.

he's was really fucking good when he debuted on the main roster. him arriving at WWE headquarters with a red sports car and talking shit to all the employees, it was over for me brothers. that green bay plunge from the mid (top?) rope is still one of the best finishing moves ive ever seen. then around 2007-2008 he got neutered and just kinda disappeared in the background

he got on some news channel after the Benoit suicide to talk about steroids, said he had never done them and immediately got caught for using them. Then he got injured and spoiled a lot of plans, came back and dropped Orton on his shoulders.

he was one of the few new wrestlers who could really talk in the post-90s disaster zone that was the 2000s. That's why he was popular plus he had a cool gimmick entrance. Sucked in tna though and slowly got exposed as being kind of lame

He was a joke at my high school because we had a teacher named Mr. Kennedy. All the lads would announce him on the way to class.

He was awesome and they should've followed through with the storyline of him being Vince's son. Set him up with an upper midcard spot for life.

He's definitely one, I'd say. But there were smart marks back into the territory days. So I don't think he's the original.
Usually smarks like high work rate but might lack the personality to get over. So not really shitters technically.

yeah, the RA midcard was a revolving door of marble mouthed shitters that would flame out 4 months after they debuted, so when kennedy came around and showed that he could string together a few sentences without sounding like a complete retard a lot of fans immediately got behind him

he was mitb a few months b4 benoit (and might have been mcmahons son so would have got a further push) but dropped it to edge due to injury. but the injury turned out to be trivial, then edge got injured for ages anyway (lol). also, soon after this and post benoit, says something about benoit and roids right before he gets caught as one of the ppl on roids so really gets depushed. final depush and leaving wwe was when he nearly killed orton in the ring (supposedly). so just wrong gay guy at the right wrong time, numerous times.
