10 Biggest Busts In WWE History

2. Mr. Ken Kennedy (Anderson)

Mr. Kennedy Ken Anderson has certainly made himself a controversial figure in wrestling despite not doing much in the way of accolades. He was not a favorite of Ohio Valley Wrestling booker Jim Cornette but, when Cornette was removed in favor of Paul Heyman, Heyman immediately took a liking to Anderson and sought to develop him as a performer. Heyman helped Anderson develop his cocky ring persona and changed Anderson's last name to "Kennedy" in a nod to Vince McMahon's middle name. He debuted on Smackdown in August 2005, defeating Funaki and making a name for himself due to his unique ring entrance. He entered into a brief feud with Eddie Guerrero but that was brought to an unfortunate end by the death of Guerrero in November. Kennedy was moved on to a feud with Batista that saw him hold his own against the established main eventer and then he won the United States title in 2006. Unfortunately, Kennedy was also extremely injury prone and would spend months at a time off of television due to his latest accident. Kennedy was seemingly set to make the jump to the main event for good when he won the Money in the Bank briefcase at Wrestlemania 23. He was also set to be revealed as Vince McMahon's illegitimate son in order to give him credibility as a main event star. Unfortunately for Kennedy, he lost his briefcase due to an injury and then lost his spot as Vince's son because got popped with a Wellness Policy violation. Kennedy left television for a while to film a direct-to-DVD movie and returned to compete in a main event 10-man tag match in the main event of Raw. Suddenly, Kennedy was fired four days after his return with rumors of Randy Orton going to the office and demanding that Kennedy be released because he injured Orton with a suplex in that tag match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCOfeCNSxQE Kennedy joined TNA shortly after his WWE release and has been a featured player on Impact Wrestling. Unfortunately for Kennedy, being a main event player in TNA is like being the best downhill skier in Mexico...it just doesn't matter.
