I find it amazing that 2 weeks ago there was a thread where many people were defending Kennedy after it was reported that he got hurt and now after he gets released most people are treating him like a bum.
I was one of the people who believed in the potential of Kennedy, but I never actually saw anything to back it up. Sure, if Kennedy did get hurt or was sloppy in the ring (possibly on numerous occasions) it makes sense for them to let him go. However, they did hype him up every time he returned and tapped him to be in a WWE film. They saw enough in to bring him back, have him confront their champion, and put him in the main event of a RAW that had previously been hyped on on all sorts of major media due to the NBA debacle. So it shows that the WWE did have faith in him. So...I find it really interested that they would do that and then immediately fire him based on the fact that he could have hurt someone (key word hurt, not paralyze or end career), even if it was their champion. I wonder if there was anything else to it, seems like there should be...
Releasing Kennedy will not hurt WWE...not at the moment. It may never hurt them. Right now they just lose a guy that barely wrestled the past 2 or so years and get back his salary. Based on his potential though, that both WWE and fans saw, if he can cultivate his character and go to TNA and they book him correctly...he could become a Stone Cold story. No I'm not saying he could become Stone Cold, I'm saying he has the potential to be a game changer if he stays healthy and TNA steps up there game.
