Brighter Future: MVP or Mr. Kennedy?

[BDOG]

It won't be long until we see both these guys with the top belts and funny enough i believe they will very much resemble the champions we have today..

Mr Kennedy would be a dominating champion, putting his oppenents out of action, much like Orton

And MVP more of a smart champiion, always getting the upperhand.. and opurtunistic... just liek the rated r superstar himself..

 

[Sparky]

if you had of asked me this this time last year i would of said mr kennedy he was cocky almost always put on a good show and was great on the mic. but now he has moved to raw he has quietend down. b ut at the moment i think
M.V.P has a brighter future, since the fued with benoit he has changed for the better i could see M.V.P with the belt this time next year.

also WWE must think the same becouse MVP had his own talkshow there for a bit i wish they would bring that back that was golden

Hello, looked at these forums for a bit but never posted until now.

This is something which really puzzles me- what is so great about Mr Kennedy? Honestly he's not a standout wrestler, average physique, he's a steroid cheat, injures other wrestlers (i.e. Cena (although I'll forgive him that one), Lashley) and to be honest..... is AWFUL on the mic.

MVP on the other hand is a good wrestler- look at his Benoit matches, and even the ones with Kane, and is probably one of the best on the mic in the business.

What...? Have you seen his matches with Matt Hardy and Undertaker? Mr Kennedy is a great wrestler. Average physique sure but who gives a damn?
He is over.

He has quieted down since coming to Raw but that is changing with his one upping HBK twice now.

He is EXCELLENT on the mic. If you watched his Kennedy declares stuff, his appearance on byte this and his two promos on Shawn Michaels, just to start off. He say some crazy stuff at house shows too, guy is hilarious when they let him work on the mic.

Kennedy didn't injure Cena. It was a freak accident that could have happened to anyone, hell Kevin Nash injured himself once from simply walking to the ring! Do you think WWE would be pushing Kennedy right now instead of punishing him if he was truly responsible for Cena's injury?

Lashley.....? What...? That was kayfabe. Lashley was ALREADY injured a month or two before....they had Kennedy 'put him out' in the storyline.


MVP is awesome in his own right, he is a much better technical wrestler than Kennedy yes, but the good thing about Kennedy is that he is pretty good on all fronts,( brawler, highflying, technical). MVP is excellent on the mic too but I don't see him with Kennedy's charisma on the stick.

Both are equally exciting.

 

[Mr.Mvp]

i have to say m.v.p. yes kennedy has been great 2 years ago and was aparrently going to win the world championship or wwe championship with the money in the bank case.every one knows that the only reason that mvp hasn't got the world championship match yet is because he has got the united states title and is waiting till matt hardy comes back.ever since his debut he has impressed me but with mr kennedy he didn't it took me up to survivor series (2006) when i saw his true talent!!!

 

[Mr. Showtime]

I Dont really see this as a competition to be honest. Both guys are different in their own right and they kinda remind me of the rock and austin ( m.v.p reflecting the rock ) ( kennedy reflecting austin ) . Both austin and the rock went to the top of the wwe, neither was bigger than the other so we'll just see how their futures turn out. Obviously at the moment m.v.p looks more promising ( long reigning us champ, own talk show ie. ) though god only knows where kennedy would be right now if he hadn't been injured and lost the money in the bank briefcase plus the fact with the whole steroid bust thing, cos at the time he was scheduled to be revealed as mr. mcmahons son. Finally things are looking up for him again though.

Thats good for but I was the complete opposite. I mean when i saw his debute match on smackdown, when he went on that top rop and delivered that reverse samoan drop off the second rope. I thought to myself this guy is very unique and talented, I see him going far and plus he killed me the way he harrased chimel everytime he got out there. but what really got me into him was that no mercy match against hardcore holly both did absolutly good in that match in fact all were good in smackdown career.

But MVP i couldnt stand him I give it to him he did go through some tough matches, but flat out he reminded me of rocky maivia over hyped and really brings nothing to the table but at wm23 my jaw litterly dropped looking at him I was was like HOLY SH** he actually does have some petential. But overall Kennedy since going to raw and poor Highflyers have been buried kennedy is now boring and we dont see L&K anymore so who is my pick for the brightest future MVP.

 

[BigMike1994]

Both of these Superstars have so much potential but I have to go with Mr. Kennedy (Kennedy). He is young, great on the microphone and he's not to bad in the ring.

He's mic skill is amazing his entrance it self is a promo and the fans love it. I can't get enough of Ken Kennedy saying his name over and over again I dare say it's "Electric". Whenever Kennedy picks up a microphone everyone is quiet it doesn't matter, heel or face the crowd wants to know what Kennedy has to say.

When Ken Kennedy hears the bell he gives it his all, he sells every move to perfection and performs every move to perfection. I do really believe Mr. Kennedy has the brighter future but MVP is close behind. Ken Kennedy has the brighter future.

 

[richardishere]

I am going to have to go with Mr. Kennedy on this. You could argue that MVP has better ring skills, but Mr. Kennedy undoubtedly works the mic better than MVP. WWE usually recognizes that and puts a stap on them more often (just look at Cena). Now i do see MVP being a headliner in the future. As long as he stays in WWE long enough to do it. I just see Kennedy getting to a major title before him.

 

[BRandonkin]

I go with MVP. Did you all see the Ric Flair On the VIP. I think that promo he cut with Ric Flair was better than much Ken has done. I think MVP is a better wrestler. I am just an MVP fan and it looks like MVP is on the fast track, Confident in himself and learning more moves all the time. MVP will be one of the Top 11 in the next few years. I think that why they put the whole you remind me of Ric Flair. I see a constant push in MVP from smackdown.

 

[kingdom_come]

This is a good but hard question to answer because right now Mr. Kennedy is better than MVP but MVP is continuing to improve. So who has the brighter future?

My take is this:

Ken Kennedy has the PRESENT and MVP will have the future if he is used properly. Mr. Kennedy is ready to be a world champion now but for some strange reason the powers that be are holding him back. He is as good now and will remain so before starting to decline.

MVP will continue to grow as an in ring performer and some day reach an elite status where his ring work equals his GREAT charisma and mic skills. When that day comes in the FUTURE you will have as close as you will ever get to another ROCK in pro wrestling.

The Future belongs to MVP.

 

[Sicko]

I love both, MVP is a little more entertaining right now because he is on Smackdown so he gets more attention as far as storylines, sometimes Raw seems too crowded with talent that some of them get left out at times

but no question both will be mainevent guys someday but MVP because he is on SmackDown might get their faster also MVP showed that he can carry out a storyline with that Matt Hardy fued which lasted for months and was very entertaining

 

[C.M.]

I think MVP has a brighter future than Mr. Kennedy because Since MVP joining WWE he hasnt been in trouble like failing the wellness policy & getting suspended for a month like Mr. Kennedy.He also hasnt gotten injured like Mr. Kennedy except for being out of action for a month when he had that heart problem & also I think MVP has better mic skills than Mr. Kennedy

 

[Vince on Cenas Dick]

M.V.P. has just been getting better and so has kennedey.
There both got great mike skills
can connect fans. But since MVP is on smackdown I have to say he has brighter future a couple injuries and he can me world heavywight champion.
Everytime it seems time fro kennedy to get his push something happens.

 

[MattSavvy]

They both have bright futures, they're both very charasmatic, very talented, both improving at a fast rate. But for this I have to go with MVP. In my opinion he has progressed more as a character than Kennedy, he has the whole, well, MVP thing, he already has a good direction for the character to go in. Where as I don't feel we as fans realy know enough about what drives the Kennedy character. I enjoy watching both of them now and i'm sure I will for years.

 

[Highlight Reel]

I can see both being with the company for a long time, and making big. They both have amazing talent and charisma, and they can both be strong World Championship contenders if they continue to work hard and keep people happy.. Or unhappy, taking they are heels. Mr. Kennedys golden push might not be too far away, but I feel MVP still has a little longer to go. In a few years from now, I'm sure they will be considered very highly in the business, and if WWE is smart, they will keep both of them around for then. I for one have been very impressed with Mr. Kennedy since his return in 2006. He's got the charisma of a Chris Jericho quality, and has alot of chemistry in the ring. While I see MVP as almost the same qualitys, I just hope they won't bury MVP after this title run like they did with Orlando Jordan awhile back. None-the-less, I like them both, and I think they have a excellent future

 

[midgensa]

Huh ... this is a good thread to bring back to life. Back when the voting started on this I would say Mr. Kennedy, but now I think it is a no-brainer. MVP is the future of this business. His in-ring mechanics are great, his cowardly heel act is great, his mic skills are good enough to be face or heel and he has no problems with working with anyone from Kane to Matt Hardy to Ric Flair.
I personally think Kennedy's in-ring work is a little overrated around these forums and I think his act on the stick is getting a little stale, but he has plenty of talent.
I think both will definitely be world champs in the future. But MVP could be one of the top ten to ever step into the ring by the time he is done.

 

[MANTAR]

I love both, I can see each of them wearing world titles someday. Ever since the beggining I loved the gimmich MVP has used right down to his entrance. So original. As for Kennedy, he just seems to have it all, and i love listening to his promos. Both will go far.

 

[Davi323]

I refuse to consider MVP as a legit title contender as long as he wears long sleeve shirts with shorts on...he just looks stupid.

Mr. Kennedy WILL be a world champ someday, I can guarantee it. He has way too much charisma, likability, and hateability at the same time not to be...He could be the next generation's Stone Cold Steve Austin, I think he has that kind of talent.

 

[WWE_is_Jericho]

MVP no question, he has great matches i liked his feud with benoit i also liked his first match against rey mysterio. I love his gimmick, ring work, and mic skills. Won't be too long before MVP is the MVP of WWE. I think mr. kennedy is just being held back just like carlito, matt hardy, shelton benjamin. But these old guys wont be around forever so all these guys could very weel hold wwe title gold one day.

 

[Mr.Mvp]

i like mvp because every one has been sayin how good kennedy is but what has he done. get injured. beat taker. wow thats not that good. mvp is the longest reiging united states champion since it has been in the wwe. i think thats telling you something

 

[Audioslave]

One of the earlier posters in this thread said they like Kennedy, because he can "work a good match" and "has good mic skills" and then proceeded to say he had more upside.

How?

MVP is better in the ring, IMO, and they're about level on mic skills. MVP's character, name and entrance are more marketable than Kennedy is. And he plays his role to a T.

He's also just got this big time aura about him that says, to me, "This dude is gonna be huge if they play their cards right." Kennedy has that presence, but just not to the level that Porter does.

 

[bucheonman]

I will have to jump on the MVP bandwagon here. That guy's got a bright future. He has often been compared to The Rock. Too bad he got started at an older age.

Kennedy...overrated. His ring work is decent but not main event level yet. His mic skills are good but too repetitive and predictable. He seemed to switch a lot between finishers before settling for 'mic check'.

MVP has him beaten in ring work, charisma, character building, fortitude, and dar I say, mic skills.

 

[Sharpshooter]

I haven't seen Smackdown in a while, however when I saw MVP face Ric Flair at the Royal Rumble, he actually did pretty good, despite Flair's sloppy performance.

Porter has gotten better since not wrestling for over 3 months when he feuded with Matt Hardy, but I would like him to step it up a notch and see what he's capable of in the Main Event scene. I believe when Matt gets better, he'll come after MVP and the U.S. Championship, then we'll see a good midcard match.

Mr. Kennedy has also stepped up, however, when opportunity would come his way, there's always something there to destroy his path to becoming a World Champion. First it was the shoulder injury that cost him his MITB spot and cash it in before this year's Wrestlemania, then there's the steroid scandal when it was announced that he would be the bastard son of Vince McMahon, leading to his spot in the Main Event and up to a World Championship match at Wrestlemania. His abilties are up there, but despite his efforts, he won't be getting the spotlight for a while until all this mess is cleaned up.

In short, I think both of them have a future in the WWE, but they need to step up their game and truly make a name. When they have the torch, they shouldn't snuff it out, they should run with it.

Right now I think MVP has a brighter future. He's improved so much imo and is more entertaining than Kennedy. MVP's mic skills are abit better just because his sounds more believeable than Kennedy's.

But once Kennedy went to raw he's been fallen imo, cause I liked what he did on smackdown, but smackdown isn't live lol, which means editting can't help u once u go over to raw. Also showed how green Kennedy is in the ring, cause I always thought he was sloppy in the ring, might be me though. I do think his character is better than MVP's, which is why he's more over with the crowd. But they have done a better job building up MVP's character than Kennedy's.

It's like once Kennedy lost the M.I.T.B due to a injury, that wasn't as serious as they thought, he's been abit off. Also when he got suspendend it seems like WWE lost alittle faith in him, but he seems to be getting a pretty solid push so far. So hopefully he can bounce back.
