Though his WWE run may have not worked out as well as both himself and many of his supporters would have liked, charismatic loudmouth Mr. Kennedy has still managed to etch his name into wrestling history.

On top of picking up a Money in the Bank ladder match victory - one that he unfortunately was never able to cash-in - the former United States Champion also ended up wrestling in not one, but two wrestling legends' final-ever matches.

Back in 2005, Kennedy locked up with the iconic Eddie Guerrero on the November 11 edition of SmackDown, losing via DQ thanks to some trademark 'Latino Heat' cheating in what would go on to become the star's last match. He'd tragically pass away on November 13.

Fast forward a few years, and Kennedy (under the name Mr. Anderson) once again found himself clashing with another much-loved figure in Umaga (wrestling as Uso Fatu) in 2009, with their November 28 Hulkamania Let The Battle Begin Tour contest also being his last. The one-time WWE star sadly died on December 4.

Both men were unquestionably taken way too soon, and Kennedy will forever be known as the last star to share a ring with either legend.
