Man it sucks that I grew up watching Kennedy I saw something in him as a kid he had all the potential when he’ll say his name out loud gives me chills to this day because I remember it live 2007 man time flies
I'm happy you did this interview Chris, I know mental health issues, this was seriously ken needing to get his thoughts out. I'm sure he probably feels better after talking to you here.
CVV you need to watch the movie About Time
Back in like 07 My hispanic mother once threw a sandal at my face because i was doing the MR. KEEEEEEEEEENEEEEEDYYYYYYYYYYYY promo super loud in the house 😂
😂
At your face she crazy
Lmao that's funny tbh
She hit you with the chancleta 😂
@@damas3335 yes lmfao, she was like cállate pendejo 😂
This guy was such a huge part of my childhood, his feuds in wwe were always entertaining and he is something that is needed on tv now. MISTERRRRRR KENNEDY, KENNEDY.

You can really tell Ken is still hurt over what happened with his WWE career, his fault or not, I'd like to see him back in there again.
I think its one of those "Its a little too late" kinda thing
@@FireLordKuzon nah, it's never too late, do commentary, become a trainer, maybe a few matches like mvp, he can do it
@@garyhen2028 his last match where he injured the poster boys ruined his relations with wwe. WWE is not what it used to be after They pushed their "poster boys" WWE does not deserve good people wrestlers. It's a business mainly now not much entertainment anymore as it once was before those wrestler deaths after Eddie And Chris. Same thing as they said when Ritchie Valens Buddy Holly Big Bopper died so did the music.
@@fenixvlogs8666 I appreciate your comment, but just because they lean towards sports entertainment, doesn't mean it's not wrestling, or they don't deserve good talent. Now with hunter running things, it should be alot better.
@@garyhen2028 I agree Gary but Truth is its dead.
He says he feels almost dead inside when reacting to wrestler deaths, then one minute later he breaks down remembering Shad Gaspard's death. I respect him for taking the blame in his failing. He seemed like he was on the precipice of being that next tier so many times. He really is one of the biggest cases of what if.
Who else is he to blame? Santa?
@@kylejoseph7849
Calm down
@@elhachem4326 be original
I’ve always thought that Mr. Kennedy would be a perfect candidate for a Rumble return. Either as a one off or for a new run.
He would. But someone in WWE seems to hate him
So many matches he could have right now if he was in Wwe Mr. Anderson Vs Kevin Owens
@@epictetus175 well Cena is mostly gone and he’s apparently berried the hatchet with Orton. I’m not sure who’s left.
@@mattj4112 HHH, HBK plus the reputation for being injury prone and the whole 2007 steroid scandal.
@@jimbo_1312 not even that it’s bc they had the worst luck with him his entire run, probably left a bad taste with everybody
He's got such a pure heart...the way he got tears in his eyes talking about Eddie and Shad
Hands down my favourite wrestler back in 2005-'07.
Carlito/Benjamin/MVP/Morrison/Kennedy they all deserved their World Champion run. All those potentials been wasted by WWE.
Mvp Sucked
@@PAPITOFLOW6969 are you crazy?
@@brickadoebaebi2951 Are You Crazy🤔
@@PAPITOFLOW6969 Nah I'm pretty damn sane. I just have to ask you tho,was his gimmick that bad? Like did he not pull it off on the mic or....
In ring? Don't say In ring PLEASE I beg of ya.
@@brickadoebaebi2951 He Sucked As A Wrestler He Looked Like A Bum Ass Power Ranger Benjamin Is Another One That Has No Charisma & Sucks With A Passion
It's a shame how things played out with his WWE run but man he had some memorable moments and has always came off as a great dude. It would be cool to see him do some sort of return, even if it was a one-off.
His interview about Chris Benoit on Fox news was the nail in the coffin.
Regarding Austin Theory, I said the exact same thing. He's on the same path as Ken from years ago. Feuded with Bobby Lashley, won the US Title, handpicked by Vince and won MITB.
Should avoid wrestling Randy orton
@@rm3869 Orton loves Theory.
Theory will be come a mega star when he turns face
Funny enough, looking back at this comment, his money in the bank run even ended in total failure.
Ken Anderson is a legend his mic skills are one of the best ever
I remember playing svr 2007 and always playing as mr Anderson
Added notes him tearing up talking about shad just shows that shad affected all of us in ways wrong can't ever know rip Shad Gaspard
That's tomorrow's listening sorted!! I'm a delivery driver in the UK!! Love your work CVV. From one Chris to another CONGRATS on all the success!!
🙏🙌
@@ChrisVanVliet I wrote CCV... What a numpty!! I meant CVV.. My bad!!
Legit one of the better interviews I can remember seeing. He's got a wonderful mind for the business. Kind of reminded me of Al Snow. Just a ton of insight and knowledge from a guy who isn't some megastar.
You asked some good and tough questions too. He was honest. Good shit man.
The part where he talks about Shad 😭😭😭 Really amazing moment. Love this guy.
Man it sucks that I grew up watching Kennedy I saw something in him as a kid he had all the potential when he’ll say his name out loud gives me chills to this day because I remember it live 2007 man time flies
He seems like a such a cool down to earth guy. He comes off so genuine.
He had the most awesome presentation back in the day, I remember all my friends imitating that KENNEDY thing and I'm from Brazil, so this shows how great that was.
This was a great interview. I wasn't watching much WWE in the early 2000s, so I have only caught bits and pieces of his WWE run. He is very humble, and seems to take ownership of the things that happened in his past. I would love to see him get a run and finally hold the title, even if it is just a quick run. He should get that chance. He definitely could still be a star, especially given how thin WWE's roster is right now.
No he couldn't
Another wonderful interview. You have the great skill of being able to bring out the very best in your interviewees. I really appreciate your work. Thanks again.
I appreciate you! Thanks for taking the time to get watch!

@@ChrisVanVliet there's another great movie about choices called About Time
For me he's Mr Anderson. TNA wasn't the biggest stage but when he went there he came into his own. Awesome interview
The interview I never knew I needed. Thank you for this and keep up the good work.
And thank YOU for checking it out!
For a guy that has so much heel heat in the ring, listening to this conversation makes me want to give him a hug for some reason.
chris this is just an amazing interview ken is such a great dude and i have a ton of respect for him and you this is a classic!
Amazing interview, Anderson was always a guy I enjoyed watching in WWE & TNA. He sounds like a genuinely cool person.
Loved his rivalry with undertaker. Vividly remember the MVP and Kennedy vs BOD on smackdown! Loved the last ride match he had with taker as well!
Mr. Kennedy was the first entrance I ever saw on WWE television. I absolutely love his character and him as a person. Such a great guy. Mr. Kennedy vs. Chris Benoit for the US Title October 2006.
Imagine the pop if Mr Kennedy came back for a Royal Rumble appearance. That would be amazing.
one of my favorite wrestlers from TNA!
This dude is a legend! What could have been
Man I that I grew up watching Kennedy I saw something in him as a kid he had all the potential when he’ll say his name out loud gives me chills to this day because I remember it live 2007 man time flies
As a Wisconsinite i have always been a huge fan of Mr Kennedy and one day by chance i got to meet him and for me it was one of my favorite moments of my life he was super cool guy.
Awesome show CVV. Mr. Kennedy is an awesome person. We have actually interviewed a lot of Kennedy's Academy wrestling students on our show. He's a great teacher. Rampage Santana as he said definitely an awesome wrestler.
Rampage Santana interview clip: th-cam.com/video/i5Ukdq3p3lM/w-d-xo.html
Love seeing this from Ken. Great interview and glad he was able to open up like this. Great job Chris
Hats off
Mr. Kennedy and MVP were 2 of my favorite guys back in the day. I remember them feuding with Kane and Taker and absolutely loving that whole rivalry as a kid. I'd probably flip out if he ever came back and hit that introduction once more!
I got sucked into wrestling when the NBA went into their first lockout in 1994!. My neighbor in my childhood street bugged me to death about WWF and WCW. I went to my first WCW event and saw Sting, Flair, and Hogan. Also Lenny Layne
Ken has been a great coach! Definitely learned a lot. Wonder how many other graduates are watching this video 👀👀
I was just wondering that too🤣🤣🤣
Or students in general!
I graduate next month!
@@Hillbillabeast Awesome!
@@joshslifeadventure9573 They're in here somewhere. They're just shy 😉
I hail... from GREEN BAAAY WISCONSSSSIIIINNNAAH!...... MIIISSSSSSSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEER KENNEDAAAAY............(wait for it)......... KENNEDAAAAY! 😊. Man Mr Kennedy was great. I remember seeing him for the first time on Velocity lol. I thought, wait why isn't this guy on Smackdown?!?!? And then boom, he was on smackdown. Sux that he was that close to being world champion, he so deserved it. It was cool to hear you guys talking about the wrestling vs entertainment dynamic. I must say I like them both... I can appreciate a Rock/Hogan, Hogan/Warrior but I can also appreciate an Omega/Okada, Benoit/Guerrero, FTR/Briscoes, HBK/Undertaker match. You can kinda see which way I tend to lean a little more lol. It's such a great conversation to have between fans
Chris is the kind of guy we don't deserve at all but desperately need what a guy a great interview as always
All I remember them all lol. I miss him he was great on promos and I loved his persona.
I was just watching a video of the 8 former world champs that Mr. Kennedy/Anderson defeated when he was in WWE. His promo was always one of my favorites.
Great interview all round. Ken seems like a great guy. Wears his heart on his sleeve.
I really miss seeing this dude on TV.
When Kennedy debuted he was my favorite wrestler that year. I thought he had such tremendous upside. I'd love to see one more Kennedy run in WWE. Especially now that Hunter is in charge of creative.
Anyone else notice that Chris was a bit off on this interview? He kept interrupting Ken and went into his own stories when Ken was trying to talk
yes i noticed that too i was looking for a comment to see if anyone else noticed he kept interrupting
I'll never forget seeing him in person at a love show and I was so pumped. He went to do his shtick and the microphone hit him on the head "I meant to do that" 😂😂😂
I can see in his eyes how hurt he was to never have won the wwe championship and it hurts me too because I grew up with him and he definitely deserved it he had it all
Loved when he was in WWE it's their loss for letting them go he show and he can get over all on his own
I miss this guy so much he was so good and fun i cant believe he is not on TV anymore
I'm late to this one but man my favorite things about CVV is exemplified at the very end of this one. The just casual chatting of two buds about SDCC and Movies, the just down to earth vibes Chris is able to pull out of everyone he interviews is wonderful.
Thanks for all you do for us Chris!
I can’t believe he was Eddie Guerrero last opponent 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
❤️❤️
@@ChrisVanVliet man I was 5 or 6 years old watching John Cena and Kennedy this is unbelievable I’m 20 now time is just stupid fast
@@ChrisVanVliet just seeing and hearing his name alone just makes me want to cry Kennedy is an all time great in my heart
Hi Haylee I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
definitely miss him and the run that he had with Aces & Eights in TNA really carried that entire stable ~ great to hear that he owns a pro wrestling school with those up and coming talent that we already know of ! great work there as always CVV ~ even Ken himself said you are different from the rest of those wrestling journalist :3
Ken Kennedy is a total legend..just a shame his WWE run was cut short
He will always be Mr. Kennedy to me. Saying Mr Anderson doesn’t even sound right and it immediately makes me think of the matrix.
I wanna see this guy back on tv!!!
I think Kennedy would've been massive if his career kept going in wwe. I personally think he would've been the next rock .
First time iv watched a full video normaly do the short 1s but loved it grate interview grate work
Misterrrrrrrrr kenedddyyyyyy…..kenedddyyy
Man after saying that he knows he can never go back and change things but at least he can teach his students from his experiences you can tell he damn near broke down. I feel for this guy.
Really looking forward to this interview!!!
Man, Mr. Kennedy aged. It’s so unfortunate we didn’t realize the value he had during the RE era. So much nostalgia now looking back.
Kinda wish we could get the early to mid 2000s back. A great time that today’s generation will never experience.
I bet If he we're to comeback now it would be a huge shocker, I feel like he has something to prove to the wwe I can see another run if he is wanting to I'd like to see him again in the ring for the WWE💯🔥
What a great interview! Been watching your stuff for a while, TH-cam always recommends your stuff because i do search wrestling a lot, and finally decided to give you a subscribe.
Just want to say, after watching countless amount of your interviews, its really hard to find genuine interviewers like yourself, you really make your guests super comfortable and it does show the talent you have!
All love and best of continuous success to a follow Canadian! 🇨🇦
Wow not going to lie I went into this thinking I will watch it but I'm not that invested, after seeing this so far I have greatly undervalued this interview. It was so easy to hate Ken while he was working as he was just so good at what he did. However this interview is opening my eyes to what an amazing hard working guy he is and above all this he seems so humble. A true inspiration of a person! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this interview and going back through a few of Ken's matches.
I've always been a fan of his (I loved his Sting impersonations in TNA), but he came across as a genuinely honest and straight up person. I'm just getting into your channel but getting to know the real people is excellent. Thanks
MISTER KENNNNNNNNEDDDDDDYYYYYY, KENNEDY! He was so good on the mic.
If anyone is familiar with Coach Corey Wayne...Mr Anderson reminds of him a lot great guys, the looks are familiar with the beard. And they're so genuine and authentic. This was awesome
"If you can do 75 cool moves, but you can't talk to the crowd..." then you become Riccochet
"I think they'd rather have the guy thatcan talk but only have 4 moves" then you can be John Cena or Hulk Hogan
That's why Austin and Rock are pretty much the perfect wrestlers because they could hang in the ring with the best guys Hart Benoit Angle Michaels and on the mic no one could hang with them
Mr Kennedy/Anderson deserves another run in WWE, he is a huuugeeee personality/a really solid wrestler.
Kind of feel bad for Ken, really wanted him to succeed in the WWE!
Can’t think of anybody as funny/ genuinely entertaining on the mic as him. Even cena was trying too hard lol
Great interview as always Chris, I echo Ken's sentiments about you as well, you're a fantastic interviewer and I appreciate your positive energy!
You know... watching his reactions when asked about the "what if"... its a big inspiration not to waste the moment... I don´t want to feel sad in the future as he looks about doing things wrong,
Mr Kennedy could've been world champion. I remember when he returned on raw when the baby faces were lakers and the heels was the Celtics (I think). He then cut a promo and had randy Orton stunned 😂.
Man I that I grew up watching Kennedy I saw something in him as a kid he had all the potential when he’ll say his name out loud gives me chills to this day because I remember it live 2007 man time flies
Always thought this guy was great, and now you see him as such a genuine human being.
As a fan, I hope in some capacity he finds his way back to WWE.
i missed mr anderson!!! he should go to aew!!
Defo agree 👍
One of the most unique intros ever, part of my childhood MR. KENEEEEDY!!!!
I literally only know the city Green Bay Wisconsin exists because of this guy and the way he ways it has Iived in my head for well over a decade
What a great dude, Kennedy is great and seems like a genuine guy
Ken Anderson is a classy guy! He has a big heart, and still miss him.
*MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! KENNEDYYYYYYY!* ........................
.... *KENNEDY!* Loved him back in the day. Real shame how things went for him in WWE, but at least he had a solid run in Impact afterwards. I watched Undertaker dump black goo on him, live on Smackdown. Fun memories. Good chat.
I loved this guy's mic skills even though he was a heel, the energy that he had made me like him.
Great to see Ken doing well!!
one of the best theme song in wwe imo
Dude went up against Kane and The Undertaker 🔥 with MVP like damn those guys went to war on Smackdown against them.
Ken Anderson in TNA, Kennedy in the WWE games.
Love the interviews Chris. Keep them comin! I’m not a wrestler but if you ever want to do a “fan” interview I’m down haha!
I’ve missed him , i want him to go to AEW so he can finally be treated right
i think as a backstage trainer and announcer, kind of like what Paul Wight is doing that wouid be good.
He’s 46!
@@extremeking425 brock is 45, sting is like 65 or something, matt and jeff hardy ain't getting younger
Whereas I see the statement that yeah, they're aging, the biggest starts of today, aren't young man
As for him going to aew i don't see Tony and the puddin gang wanting to do anything with him
@@MrJoshbamjam isn't Goldust like 49 or something too? Or CM Punk for that matter...
Man I grew up watching Kennedy when he’ll say his name out loud gives me chills to this day because I remember it live 2007 man time flies I thought he was going to be a future hall of famer and a World champion SMH
Lol at heyman not picking up his phone calls, Jericho said the same thing in his book
Kennedy seems like a pretty good human!
Good stuff…enjoyed this …Thanks Chris.
MVP and mr Kennedy was the next rock and stone cold of the late 2000s and early 2010s. Cena would have been SO much tolerable going into 2007 and would have given Orton more steam going into his character change. WM24 would have been the ultimate fatal four way.
Whenever I see this man all I hear in my mind is MISTERRRRRR KENNEDY.......KEEEEEEENEEEEEEDYYYYYYYYY! Also so glad i still have Smackdown Vs Raw 2008, it captured his iconic entrance.
Really liked this one I’ve always been a fan of Ken both his time in WWE or Impact
Was one of my favourites growing up. Absolute star
This man gives back to the business BIGTIME !!! KENNEDY !!!
I always said Kennedy even when he was in TNA/IMPACT as Anderson i guess you could say it was just memory
Loved listening to his story! KENNEDYYYYY
Damn. Ken got me tearing up talking about Shad. He is one of the real 1ones.
The heel you love to hate! Legend
I’m a 70’s baby and the Road Warriors sucked me into wrestling in 1983
