4)Mr. Kennedy
5)MVP

Guys like Cena, Lashley, and Batista are certainly over but none of them are "workers" per se in the mold of a Benoit. I think once Cena loses the belt he'll actually be a much more valuable commodity to the WWE.

You'll also notice that I didn't include HHH. Mostly because he hasn't put on a memorable match in about two years.

question. where is rey?
just wondering not critizing

I've read that they want to build him up and have him feud with Cena later on..

Rey hasnt really been a good worker for years, imo.

WMD · 07-09-2007, 08:56 PM

Rey has been good, but injuries are starting to take a toll on him..

Acreboy · 07-09-2007, 09:01 PM

Wouldn't it be weird if Dusty gets attacked and Gold Dust comes out to defend him?

Brodeur · 07-09-2007, 09:17 PM

There goes Shelton's career. And it's his birthday, way to go WWE.

Acreboy · 07-09-2007, 09:23 PM

Man it's disgusting what Farooq has been reduced to.

WWE's Kennedy plan: Move him to Raw and ruin a wonderful Edge/Kennedy feud, then proceed to have him job on Raw for no reason.

Seriously, a Kennedy/Edge feud would've been terrific. I'm not sure what they plan on doing with him. I'd imagine he'll get pushed again sometime in the near future.

WMD · 07-09-2007, 11:30 PM

There are some wrestlers who are 'bullet proof' as in.. they can lose match after match and still be over with the fans.. The Rock used to lose a lot.. Chris Jericho was the same way. Kurt Angle did quite a few jobs as well. I think Mr. Kennedy has the charisma and mic skills to continue being over with the fans even if he loses often in the ring.

TigerBait45 · 07-09-2007, 11:32 PM

He still generates a lot of heat, so you're probably right. They know what they have in him. Lashley made the most sense to push right now because of how much he was in the spotlight.

Kennedy had been on the shelf for a while, so I'd imagine they're trying to build some momentum for him first.

So, I hear Rey Mysterio is also being linked to Benoit's doctor...cant say I'm surprised. His steroid use is very evident.

bearsfan_51 · 07-10-2007, 12:48 AM

Rey has never been much of a "worker" as he has been a trick artist. I mean yeah he's good at putting people over but who wouldn't be at 85 lbs?

That's not to say that cruiserweights can't be good workers, Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko certainly come to mind.

I said it elsewhere and I'll say it here, until he's moved into a WWE Title run I think Mr. Kennedy should be the IC Champ. It gives him a belt, would bring some needed credibility back to the belt, and you could have some interesting feuds for it with a Jeff Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Carlito, etc.

Anyone else watch Larry King last night with John Cena, Chris Jericho, and Bret Hart? They talked about aspects of the Benoit tragedy and shared their opinions and really came down hard on the media and its irresponsibilities in coverages and accusations.

I agree that Kennedy should be given an IC run. The feuds listed would be quite entertaining, as would some other ones. I must say, I have been less then impressed with Santino, although I will admit I haven't seen much of him.

And Jericho owned that show last night. I'm digging the shorter hair, imo, it makes him look a lot more like Alex Shelley. I want Jericho back in the WWE.

Jericho definitely was the star of the show, and I loved how he and Cena played off the way Jericho left the WWE. Plus he did mention how he is working on his paperwork to come back. ;) He also mentioned his desire to come back in an interview with the Baltimore Sun.

It's pretty hard to believe that Stone Cold Steve Austin was once part of a tag-team by the name of "Hollywood Blondes"

Steve also had some things to say about his days in WCW.

Here's a tag team not many casual fans know about.. The Blade Runners! They later became Sting and The Ultimate Warrior!
