The Prophetic Ken Kennedy!!!


Caught the replay of the episode of RAW (10/1/07) prior to No Mercy. As most of you already know, the main event featured “then” WWE Champion John Cena going one-on-one in a non-title match for the first time against Mr. Kennedy.

But the story here is that prior to the match up, the ever “braggadocios” Ken Kennedy, mouth the words, “what a better way than to take down the top dog,” referring to besting the WWE Champion Cena that evening and giving notice to his championship aspirations.

And how prophetic was that? Inadvertently, Kennedy did take down the “top dog” in less than two to three minutes into the match when John Cena executed an arm drag gone bad and tore his right pectoral tendon—effectively keeping him on the shelf for the next six to twelve months.

But fans at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland paid good money to see Cena and he didn’t disappoint as he actually finished the match (for those of you who watched it, did you see the mini-conference Cena, Kennedy, and the referee had at the top-left turnbuckle in the next sequence following Cena’s two arm drag’s?) and got the blindsided and mauled right after by Randy Orton.

In the end, I may not be a big John Cena fan (13 months of the same thing…over and over and over…can really get tiring) but I do respect his professionalism. For that, he will be missed. Here’s to a speedy recovery!
