Slightly above average charisma that was overinflated thanks to the mic gimmick, but was sloppy, disjointed, and usually boring as hell in the ring. His fukk ups led to Hornswoggle getting a crazy push too.

I went 4, but that might be overrating him. :leostare:

Easily his greatest strengths. His ring work however was :patrice:

CM_Burns · May 30, 2018

People say he's trash because they get worked by his gimmick. I always knew he wasn't THE GUY like the IWC did for a minute, but he doesn't completely suck.

Mic- 6. No money promos, but he had mic presence and could work the crowd on the mic.

Ring- 4. Had some memorable matches with the right opponent. He had a cage match with Angle in TNA that was fire. Kind of sloppy in the ring though.

Charisma/Star Power- 7. He was very over at one point, and fairly over for most of his career. He had a good entrance and had good intensity and a decent look.

Overall 5. Never really liked him, but he was clearly over, decent on the mic overall, and competent enough in the ring to not deserve below a 4 or 5.

Playaz Eyez · May 30, 2018

Overall I'd give him a 6. His mic skills and charisma pretty much carried him, basically being an obnoxious a$$hole whether face or heel. I think I'm slightly more favorable of him just cause I remember first seeing him on Velocity episodes. At the time, he was very quick in the ring, and I instantly started being a fan just cause of that Lambeau Leap/Green Bay Plunge move he was doing (of course that stopped that, cause it's the WWE). Had a good recognizable theme, average wrestler, and eventually became sloppy and injury prone. He may have gotten higher had he not been so injury prone. He also came along the time when the WWE was desperately looking for the next stars (not named Orton/Batista/Cena), as they were failing out the box with so many people between 05-10. Mr. Kennedy, Carlito, and MVP were basically the cream of the crop at that point, and all had some type of flaw that eventually did them in. I couldn't tell you what classic matches Kennedy has had. I mostly just remember feuds. He had a good match with Finlay and Lashley where he won the US title, and the feuds with teaming with MVP vs Taker and Kane were interesting even if the matches weren't much. In TNA, I mostly just remember his Aces & Eights run, but not really any matches other than vs Kurt Angle. All in all, he was more than serviceable with potential not reached due to constant injuries. He was very over at one point and credit to him for being distinctive enough to do that. I think he had a wellness violation as well sometime too, which was pretty obvious cause he was ripped as shyt at one point and then looking like TNA Damien Sandow later on. Also, Kennedy has the fortunate (or unfortunate depending on how you look at it ) privilege of wrestling Eddie Guerrero's last match.

WhatsGoodTy · May 30, 2018

He gets a five from me. If that WWE run ain't get ruined I think he would be higher

Devilinurear · May 30, 2018

Hell yea. It that's one of the main thing that hurted him

Reality Check · May 30, 2018

He's

personified. Part of the LOLCENAWINS era who shot himself in the foot anytime he was close to being given the ball. Massively overrated on all fronts.

Reality Check · May 30, 2018

As far as future evaluations that haven't been done yet from what can see on the list:

AJ Styles
Samoa Joe
Christopher Daniels
Bobby Roode
James Storm
Mick Foley
Kenny Omega
Justin Credible
Lance Storm
R-Truth/Ron Killings

Silkk · May 30, 2018

Seven, could've went down as a a 9 imo. Everything was there but the timing, dude was on FIRE til he got injured/lost the MITB/came to Raw

This promo right here was probably his last memorable one in WWE imo

Silkk · May 30, 2018

TNA put that belt on everybody :dead:
