Hey guys, is it just me or does Mister Kennedy remind a lot of old school fans of Mr Perfect?
Mister Kennedy has the typical wrestler look that Mr Perfect had (blonde hair, athletic body) - both of them are very agile in the ring and always get a reaction from the crowd - whether heat or pops.
I think at the end of the day it comes down to the natural charisma that both of them have. They have a presence about them in the ring and connect with the fans very well. Also its the pure cockyness and swagger that reminds me so much of Mr Perfect when I see Mister Kennedy on RAW.
Their runs in the WWE so far have been pretty similar - Mister Kennedy at the moment is the guy that everybody loves to hate although as a strong heel he sometimes gets pops too just like Mr Perfect did. Lets just hope Mr Kennedy can break through as a much bigger face than Mr Perfect was.

i'm still unsure about kennedy. i was kinda excited when he moved over to raw since i don't watch smackdown that often and wasn't all that familiar with him although i had heard a lot of people talking about him on here. i do enjoy his mic work, but he hasn't had 1 match that's impressed me since being on raw. so, like i said, i do enjoy his character, but his actual wrestling does nothing for me. i find him to be quite boring in the ring.

I still don't see anything special about the guy, at all. I'm not gonna bash him, but I'm just saying.

No not at all. Mr Perfect was original and a cutting edge character for the time. Mr Kennedy is second rate, boring generic looking with his tattoos, bleached hair and tan.
Kennedy doesn't impress me one bit. He isn't original and to me he lacks any sort of interesting character traits (past shouting his name) he is never going to main event.
WWE has given Kennedy the chances to shine on three occasions and each time he hasnt ran with it.

While Mr. Kennedy has every opportunity to become a FANTASTIC wrestler, Curt Hennig's wrestling ability was pretty much perfect (pun intended) and Kennedy just isn't there yet.

so you stare at kennedys body well man what ever floats your boat 13 year old trying to increase his post count by replying to this thread with a stupid reply because he can't stay on topic because he's never heard of Hennig. On topic, I can see your points. In my opinion Kennedy will never be as good as Hennig but Kennedy could go further with a push. Ken is a good wrestler with charisma, he could be pushed for the WWE title which Hennig never had the chance of winning. |

How hasn't he ran with it? - Was suppose to take the title off Undertaker instead of Edge: Gets injured.. kinda hard to run with something when your out of action. - Was suppose to play a part in the Limo thing: It gets cut.. kinda hard to run with something when it's not going anymore - Steriod bust.. yeah.. he did steriods/drugs but guess what.. hard to run when something when your suspended.. Yeah..  |

Yeah.. Kennedys injuries and suspension have obviously been a hinderance to him. But he hasnt in general made as much progress as a worker/performer as some people would have you believe. Most of his matches on Raw have screamed "mid carder" and his interviews come off flat and boring without much crowd reaction. The fact that he has been given a 3rd massive push is mainly due to wwes lack of talent at them moment not due to Kennedys all round ability. |

He has the most charisma of almost anyone in WWE today.

I agree. Kennedy has lots of charisma and can make the fans hate him, or love him!

I feel the same way. And Mr. Perfect is way better, he had way more talent than Kennedy does. |
