You've got to love the Universe Fans! It's been a minute since I've seen so many people this animated about (1) a superstar's release, and (2) the mystery surrounding that superstar's release. Whether you love him or hate him, the fact is that Mr. Kennedy has had an impact on WWE's fans, and his release has triggered something inside of our collective thoughts.
The main fact is that Kennedy's release at such short noticed has surprised everyone, even those folks that say it didn't surprise them. Since this happened so soon after his return to action, fans are in the dark when it comes to understanding why this happened. As a result there are a few theories on Kennedy's release that are floating around that come directly from the 5/25/09 episode of RAW when Kennedy made his in-ring return in a match that saw him team with MVP, Batista, John Cena, and Jerry "The King" Lawler to face the team of Legacy (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase), The Big Show, and The Miz.
Theory 1: Kennedy, prone to injuring other wrestlers, botched a high-risk maneuver executed on Randy Orton, and was released for the huge liability he is.
Theory 2: Kennedy, prone to injuring himself, damaged his wrist during the match and was released for yet another injury he's sustained in such a short period of time.
Theory 3: Orton, the #1 Heel on RAW at the current moment, complained to management that Kennedy almost injured him, which ended with Kennedy's release.
Theory 4: Kennedy violated the Wellness Policy again.
Theory 5: Kennedy got released for a string of incidents and not just one isolated incident.
No matter which theory you subscribe in, we'll never really know the truth behind the matter is until Orton, Kennedy, or McMahon speaks on the matter. Even after that, people will still speculate on whether or not the individuals are telling the truth. And despite what we all hear from other sources, until we get it from Titan Towers, we still don't know nothing. I think it's hilarious how we all can "agree" that Orton calmly told Kennedy backstage to be more careful, but we disagree about everything else reported. Did they release something on here or on WWE.com that said Orton approached Kennedy after the show and politely told him to be more careful in the ring? All speculation.
BUT, say what you will, Kennedy does ha ve a bright future in the business, and I'm anticipating watching how this minus in the annals of wrestling history will turn into a plus.
orton is a 'fn' scumbag...i hope kennedy did hurt him and i hope batista does break his neck in the cage match. kennedy is awesome, he will be back. raw needs him. there is no one with more charisma in the entire wwe than kennedy....probly since austin. raw is kennedy. mcmahon needs 2 wake up n sign him back before tna get him....i feel let down by the wwe. iv never felt so angry ever!!!!!!!!!!
