Mr. Kennedy, also known as Ken Kennedy is an American professional wrestler currently performing for World Wrestling Entertainment on the RAW brand. Proudly doing the honors of announcing his own ring introductions in quite an unorthodox fashion, Ken Kennedy has quickly turned heads and made his presence known as one of WWE’s most promising, confident and big mouthed Superstars.
Insisting the spotlight be focused strictly on him at all times, Mr. Kennedy made quite the memorable debut on SmackDown chastising Tony Chimmel’s efforts in making Mr. Kennedy’s ring introduction… a moment most other newcomers would savor and dream of. Instead, Mr. Kennedy took matters into his own hands, demonstrating how he thought the job should be done doing the introductions of not only his opponent, Funaki, but in Mr. Kennedy’s eyes… most importantly… himself! And once the formalities are out of the way, Mr. Kennedy makes sure to keep the spotlight on him, inflicting pain on his opponents and guaranteeing a win and post match ring announcement by Mr. Kennedy himself as the winner of the match.
Be sure to catch Mr. Kennedy on Tom Green Live on this coming Tuesday, July 24th at 11pm!

Television audiences will soon be able to share this experience when his HBO special “That Ain’t Right” premieres on HBO August 25th. The special is also released to DVD August 28th.
