Huge Backstage Update: WWE Stars Bury Kennedy

More details are now surfacing about the situation involving Mr. Kennedy and WWE. For those still in the dark, you should read the original article about why Mr. Kennedy got fired specifically and what went down backstage at RAW that night. It is on the newsboard if you go back a few days.

as far as the update is concerned, it appears that not just Randy Orton went to Vince McMahon to complain about how dangerously clumbsy Kennedy is in the ring and how green he is. While no one is named directly, apparently two or three top, multi-time world champions (one should already come to mind) were among those that went directly to McMahon to vent their frustrations.

According to sources, the WWE Chairman was already in a bad mood due to the NBA/Denver Nuggets situation and reportedly went insane with anger on a plane ride back home. McMahon apparently said Kennedy is now on the WWE's "do not call list" which very few people are on. It's the cream of the crop when it comes to testing the often-preeched "never say never" slogan in WWE.

Lol...didn't even know Kennedy got fired

According to a ton of comments on Youtube Kennedy videos, the two world champions were John Cena and Triple H. I've explained my thoughts on his release, although they have changed. From what I heard, Orton talking to Kennedy backstage wasn't that heated, just Orton telling Kennedy he needs to be more careful in the ring so he doesn't injure anyone else. I do think the punishment is too much.

It really doesn't matter to me why he was released. He was sloppy or he wouldn't have been injured so much. If I were running the company, I probably would have released him already.

Well, as much as I love Kennedy, I think it was the right thing to do, at least for the mean time. Other wrestlers, especially Cena, had every right to complain if he was sloppy in the ring, as they would with any superstar.

But do not call list? Isn't Vince going too far? The guy has barely had change to develop, so he can't expect him to be as careful as the legends in the business. Maybe in a few years when he's trained more, he'll be a lot more careful in the ring.

If Vince never even thinks of taking him back in a few years or so, then I think he'll be making a big mistake, because with the right amount of work, Kennedy could be a main eventer.

I never found the guy entertaining, thought he was one of the most vanilla "superstars" in WWE and didn't deserve to be anywhere near the main event...I was utterly perplexed when he was thrown into an angle with The Undertaker, and the fact that they still seemed to think so highly of him when it became clear that he was injury-prone, unreliable and generally not at all entertaining or worthy of a main event run has never ceased to baffle me. Never again will a name be forgotten quite so quickly.

Don't worry.

TNA will make sure that you won't forget his name in a couple of months.

Except we won't have any clue what that name will be, since the WWE owns Mr. Kennedy...

They'll probably use his real name: Ken Anderson.
