Mr Kennedy Released!

[Stratusfaction]

WWE has announced Ken Kennedy has been released from his contract.

Kennedy returned to in-ring action on WWE television on this past Monday's edition of Raw after being out since August 2008 with a torn labrum. He suffered a wrist injury on Monday's Raw after taking the RKO from Randy Orton.

Kennedys shoulder was much more worse than people thought and he was going to need more time off, but after the injury on raw the WWE just decided it was best to release him from his contract early as he is obviously very injury prone

I loved kennedy when he was wrestling so i am very gutted about this, i understand completly why WWE have done it tho he has spent more time injured than he has done wrestling

[Desertrage]

Yeah maybe he is injury prone, but only to WWE's tough work schedule. I sure hope he goes to TNA. That way he'll be able to still wrestle, and make movies if he wants. I am not about to go off on saying if there was one man to give me hope to even be a WWE fan a little bit. It would be Mr. Kennedy. Hell....it doesn't even matter to me anymore that WrestleMania 26 is gonna be 5 1/2 miles from where I live. I gave up wanting to be there live in person at University of Phoenix Stadium a while ago. The WWE just plain sucks now!!!

Best of luck to Kennedy.................Kennedy.

Rumors have been flying around about Mr. Kennedy (Ken Anderson) could land in TNA. I read on his twitter that he has a secret project that involves something that he always loved doing. To entertain. Speaking of twitter, you wont even guess who is on there now. That is a surprize for those who don't know, and there is another surprize on top of that depending on where you live. May I say...this surprize involves both the Western USA, Mexico, and UK. Go through Mr. Kennedy's friends on twitter. If you don't know the website, do a search. You will see who it is. Someone who I like very much!!!

[Stratusfaction]

Well i no both Hardys, Mr Helms and Mr Jericho are on there but i can only guess that the person your talking about in none other than Miss Massaro

[Desertrage]

Indeed it is. I gave that away! for those of who don't know her twitter address. It's twitter.com/ashleymassaro99

Surprised Kennedy got released, but, yeah, he has been injuried for a long time, and now again? A shame. Yeah, maybe and hopefully once he fully heals up he'll land in TNA, that would be a good move! Bring Ashley to TNA while your at it too! Lol.

TNA is a good place for Kennedy I believe and would much rather see him there. Kennedy is injury prone but with the WWE schedule its no wonder.

You know what? I am getting sick of people going off saying a certain wrestler is injury prone, when the fact of the matter is...people have no clue what it's like if they never stepped in a wrestling ring, and had a match. Here I have a recent blog Ken Anderson wrote on his website. www.ken-kennedy.com


Just some food for thought and maybe some questions you can ask yourselves.

If I take a sledgehammer and SMASH you in the side of the head and you get hurt very badly, does that make you "injury prone"?

If I cut off your arm with a samurai sword, and you have to have it reattached (causing you to miss several months of work) are you also then to be considered..."injury prone"?

Well let's say that you're in a match in Italy standing on the apron during a ten man tag match, and a guy is supposed to come over and give you a little forearm which will cause you to drop to the floor, but INSTEAD, he decides to drop kick your ass into the 20th row, he virtually leg presses you off the apron, and you have a "Matrix" like moment in your head where you see yourself flying backwards through the air. You clear the mats that line the floor outside the ring and because you're trying to protect your head from smashing into the guardrail, you stretch your right arm over your head. At the moment you make IMPACT with the concrete floor, your arm stretched out over your head and the sudden stop causes the tendon in your latissimus dorsi (or that big back muscle that you see on bodybuilders, ya know the ones that look like wings...) to SNAP in two and it coils up down your side to the point that's in line with your belly button. Let's say.....hypothetically.......that this happened to you. Would you call yourself...."injury prone"?

Let's throw another "hypothetical situation" out there. Let's say that you're having a match with a guy who's just supposed to give you a lil' old schoolboy to end the match. Just a nice and easy rollup for the finish. In fact the night before he hit you with his finish and the crowd didn't really react as strongly as you would have liked it to, so the agent (or producer) who's in charge of your match that night has told your opponent specifically NOT to hit his finish. Now keep in mind that having said this, your opponent's finisher is probably the furthest thing from your mind. So as you're waiting for this nice little easy rollup for the finish, the guy leaps into the air, hooks your head tight, causing your right arm to get caught between your two bodies, and drives you chest first into the mat. You go from standing to laying on your stomach with your arm stretched across your chest and your shoulder pops out of it's socket, tearing that muscle about 60% away from the bone. Now again, would an event such as this make you......"injury prone"?

Now if something like this HAD ever happened to me (again, these are strictly hypothetical situations), I probably wouldn't say anything about it to anyone. I for one would never want to bury another talent, whine or cry about it, I'd probably just chalk it up to poor judgement, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time, rather than accusing someone of being a stiff in the ring. Let's face it, accidents happen in the wrestling business which is why there are countless videos of "wrestling screw-ups" on YouTube. Every once in awhile if you're in the wrestling business, you're gonna get a BOO-BOO.

Hmm, interesting and nice find/post Desert. I don't know Kennedy's injury history, but if this is what happened to him, and how it happened, and he's only been injuried twice, then I would say he's not to blame. And, this is just bad luck, could happen to anybody. So, or well, Mr. Kennedy is still young and can definitely prove this wrong, him being injury prone. So, I say Mr. Kennedy, come to TNA and prove the WWE wrong!!!

To anyone interested in what Ken Anderson (Mr. Kennedy) has been doing since his release go to his twitter page.
twitter.com/secondpower

You'll get updates on there, and he also has facebook that he has linked on twitter. He has been posting some videos that you gotta check out. He just posted a new one up today.

All I gotta say is he's a very funny Guy!

Nice post Rage and very good points. I think alot of what you said is dead on as far as how you can get injuried and is true that alot of things are causes of them being injury prone. BUT there are those wrestlers who can wrestle a relatively safe match but still get injuried for something another may not get injuried by. Conditioning of the wrestler can come into play although Ken is fit sometimes they can just have poor luck with injuries.
