10 Times Wrestlers Ignored All Advice
8. Mr. Kennedy
Generally, wrestlers in WWE listen when The Undertaker speaks, and they rarely go against the locker room leader's advice. In 2007, Mr. Kennedy did exactly that. He'd been pulled aside by the legend and warned that some over on Raw might think he was being arrogant or cowardly by covering up on strikes during matches.
Kennedy, explaining why he did it, reasoned that covering up on punches, chops and other blows was more realistic than leaving oneself open to further punishment. 'Taker didn't disagree, and actually told the brand-jumping SmackDown man he was absolutely right, but did say that some on Raw wouldn't like it.
When Kennedy moved to Raw, he told Steve Austin's podcast that he didn't change a thing.
Later, he realised that a few heavy hitters on the brand thought he was difficult to work with or crapping all over their strikes. The Undertaker's fears had been correct, and Kennedy was considered a hard shift inside the ring.
