As you can see from the photo above, there was certainly a plan there. I’ll never forget being in Ford Field that night for Wrestlemania. Despite future  and current Hall Of Famers like CM Punk, The Hardy Boys, Randy Orton, Booker T and Edge, Mr Kennedy rose above them to become Mr Money In The  Bank.

This was only a part of Ken’s rise. He made a name for himself early on in his WWE career when he started beating former World Champions left and right. Now we all know that he beat them in screwy ways like count outs and DQ’s, but man was getting over like rover.

When he grabbed the briefcase at Wrestlemania 23, it was pretty apparent that the WWE was looking to bring him to the top super fast. At this point, Ken had only been in the WWE for a year and a half. I can’t speak for every wrestling fan, but the consensus among my circle was that we were ready to see him with the Big Gold Belt.

He then tore his tricep muscle right off the bone and lost the briefcase to Edge. It was all down hill from there. Kennedy came back in October and then left again to film Behind Enemy Lines: Columbia. He then got sent to Raw and dislocated his shoulder. Then he came back and wrestled in a Denver Nuggets jersey and got fired after an in ring altercation with Randy Orton.

Kennedy became Mr. Anderson in TNA and for some odd reason became a caricature of Dane Cook or something. I don’t know. Nobody watched TNA long enough to find out.
