During the latest recording of Developmentally Speaking, former WWE Superstar Mr. Kennedy... Kennedy reflected on his time in the former WWE developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling.
Check out the highlights below.
On working for OVW:
I was just trying to do the best I could to survive. I’ve said this before and I don’t mean it in a negative way at all. He(OVW booker Jim Cornette) didn’t know what to do with me. I felt as though every week when I did get a match, it would just be kind of like he had a hat full of babyface names and a hat full of heel names. And he would just like, take one name out and, ‘Here you go, go out there. You’ve got six minutes.”
On Cornette's removal from OVW:
“I say this half-joking, but one of the best things that’s ever happened to me in my career was Jim Cornette slapping Santino Marella around in the back. Because he got released, and the next day Paul Heyman came in. And Paul pulled me aside right away and he said, ‘I’m going to do so much stuff with you.’ He goes, ‘I’ve been a fan of yours since we met, and I’m going to do so much stuff with you on TV that they’re going to have to notice you.'”
