THE Brian Kendrick is on THE roll of a life-time. Jim Ross said it best this passed Friday Night. Kendrick is by far proving to be the wrestler of 2008, and he's only truly been in this role for about a month. I think that says everything about how far Kendrick can go, as long as he doesn't screw up.
I agree with Chasingamy in the fact that I never thought I'd see the day that Brian Kendrick was ever getting a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity, much less on a Pay per view. Now, not only am I apparently going to see that.. (barring Big Show replacing him, some how) I have a very strong hype for believing he'll be the dark horse of the match that could end up Champion.
Now before I get lynched over everyone saying "The small cruiserweight isn't going to hold the Heavyweight title." I want each of you to say that to yourselves, then explain to me in the best way possible why Punk is still Champion. It's a switch to the business, it's unique, it's unheard of, it's different.. and it's something that'll make people stop and go "what the hell just happened?!"
Kendrick right now, to me, is similar to the 1993 Shawn Michaels. He's been a Tag Team Champion for a record long time, I believe he's held the Cruiserweight title as well.. so the way I see it, he's about to come into United States gold very soon, possibly unseating Benjamin. And I'd consider this Championship match similar to that of H.B.K.'s first one, in November of 1992, against Bret Hart.
Kendrick should have a very nice outting, he could even make it look like he's going to win, only to just barely lose at the end. I think of everyone involved, Kendrick has the most to gain, and very little to lose.. except for momentum that is.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel is exactly everything to Kendrick that Kevin Nash (as Diesel) was to Shawn Michaels. I mean seriously, Zek single handedly won that Championship opportunity for Kendrick by catching him. That's everything you'd want your bodyguard to do for you.. right now, Kendrick is definately on the role of 2008 and I for one am happier than likely anyone that he's getting this push.
