10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Brian Kendrick
10. Streaking
Brian Kendrick didn't just debut with some vignettes followed by a match as was common in 2003. Oh no, WWE had a much more creative way to bring Kendrick into the fold. After competing under masks on Velocity for several weeks, WWE decided to debut him on Smackdown. His first appearance was as a telegram deliverer for The Big Show to The Undertaker. He got a Last Ride for his troubles. After that, he tried to impress Smackdown General Manager Stephanie McMahon in the hopes of earning a contract. After being convinced by 'Devil's Advocate' Sean O'Haire, Kendrick streaked throughout the arena during the A-Train Vs. Shannon Moore match. WWE went to the trouble of digitising Kendrick's private parts (in reality he wasn't naked but actually wearing a flesh-coloured thong). Speaking about the angle in 2014, Kendrick said that:
It seemed fine. It was a while ago. It seemed crazy because I just went out and ran. It was all really just that quick. Its all kind of a blur, but it seemed like, Whats the hells going on?
Kendrick deserves a lot of credit for having the, erm, balls to go through with it.
