17 Most Brutal Hazing Horror Stories In Wrestling
2. Hardcore Consequences For Mr Kennedy
Back in the ultra-hostile mid-2000s SmackDown locker room now, anybody was fair game for hazing, unless of course you were one of the self-appointed faux-policemen running the rule over things for judge Undertaker. Ken Kennedy got over by running his mouth on a blue brand full of these toxic bores, but whether that worked the bullies into a shoot or not, him not speaking got him bother back in 2006.
The specific crime against respecting the business or whatever the hell the problem was that week came after rising star Ken won a house show battle royal. Bob Holly was in the locker room and in the match, and went ballistic with the cocky newcomer when he didn't individually thank everybody that had been eliminated for the good of the Kennedy cause. Big bad Bob screamed at him in front of everybody else, then chucked his bag out into a nearby hall to make it clear that's where he'd be based until amends were made.
By this point, there were probably just as many newbie wrestlers changing elsewhere than in the locker room itself thanks to all the punishments getting doled out, and because of that (or maybe the enforced apology), Kennedy was eventually welcomed back into the fold.
