8 Interesting Observations From TNA Live In York, PA

3. Mr. Anderson Is A Master Of Working The Audience

There is a reason Ken Anderson's Mr. Kennedy character got over with fans the way it did when he was working for WWE. A fantastic performer who understands the importance of catchphrases and connecting with the audience, he knew exactly which buttons to push when, eliciting the desired reactions. That did not change when he was unceremoniously and controversially fired from the company and made the jump to TNA. As Mr. Anderson, he essentially kept the same character, changed to his real last name and continued to generate electricity in every building that he worked. It was no different inside the historic York Fair, where Anderson captivated audiences with sarcastic humor and his always strong mic skills. That he appeared to be having fun and legitimately enjoyed what he was doing was infectious and helped the Triple Threat match he worked with Drew Galloway and Bobby Roode to Match of the Night honors. Anderson has a rare charisma about him that cannot be taught. Everything from the way he carries himself to the way he addresses the audience screams "star" and leaves many to wonder how Vince McMahon could just let him slip through his fingers the way he did. Often outspoken in media interviews, he could have been the biggest star in the industry had backstage politics not doomed him in the biggest sports entertainment empire in the industry. Luckily for him, TNA was an option and the native of Green Bay, WIIIIIIIIIIISSSSS-CON-SINNNNNNNAH continued entertaining and winning championship gold elsewhere.
