Mr. Kennedy recently had a chat with Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda and he recalled how Vince McMahon told him to stop trying to be funny. When Mr. Kennedy debuted in WWE, he adopted a comedic style of promo delivery. Vince McMahon didn't like this and advised him to stop doing the same.

"One of the things that stands out to me was early on when I first debuted, I was really over-the-top, and sort of comedic in my delivery of everything, and I remember him (Vince McMahon) trying to tell me like, you've got to stop trying to be funny and entertaining. I remember thinking that isn't that the point of what we're trying to do here, to just be entertaining? He was like, and I said well, with all due respect, he goes, 'funny doesn't draw money'."

Kennedy's stint as a WWE Superstar, unfortunately, didn't last long. In mid-2009, Kennedy hit a move on Randy Orton during a match on RAW, which ended up hurting The Viper. Mere days later, Kennedy was let go by WWE, never to come back again.
