I always thought Kennedy was overrated.
Yes, it's a great ring intro.
OK, he has some charisma and mic skills.
But this idea that he could be the next Steve Austin was ridiculous. His body of work never even remotely resembled Stone Cold's.
At best, Kennedy was an injury-prone upper mid-carder who got pushed because of that great intro.
Yeah, he may end up on TNA, but like all the rest who left the WWE, it won't matter. Angle, Booker T, Mick Foley, Christian, etc... did nothing to make the WWE quiver.
