Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 2:30 PMWOW! WOW!!! Way to drop the ball WWE. Does anyone remember Brian Kendrick on Smackdown last year?! He was on a roll, doing great. He was in the Championship scramble match where he temprorarily held the title. He was having good matches and a solid push. Then he gets drafted to Raw, and they break up him and Ezekiel. And then OFCOURSE, THEY DON’T USE HIM ON RAW. JESUS CHRIST, WWE. Way to ruin something good with another bad draft choice and neglect. I’m losing faith in a lot of WWE’s creative.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 3:21 PMKendrick has alot of talent and probably is best suited for tna or roh where he can go out and show it without being held back so its prob a good thing

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 3:28 PMOh well if he goes to TNA he’d have a solid chance at the X-division title which suits his talent sets better than the WWE formula of big guy big muscles = sales.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 3:39 PMBrian Kendrick was one of the best lightweight wrestlers WWE had, and it’s a shame that once again they’ve dumped a talented wrestler because their idiot creative team made yet ANOTHER screwup by shifting people to Raw unnecessarily. I didn’t care for the arrogant gimmick he’d been saddled with, but luckily, Kendrick has more than enough talent to shine on Tna or anywhere else he may end up.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 3:50 PMI don’t understand why the WWE keeps releasing guys who at least get TV time unlike Curt Hawkins and DJ Gabriel. Not that I have anything against those two wrestlers, but we haven’t really seen them in months. Unlike Brian Kendrick, who we have continued to see on RAW.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 4:00 PMAs a wrestling fan first and foremost, I am always glad to see good workers leave WWE. Wrestling isn’t appreciated nearly enough in WWE, and his skill and trade will be utilized more properly elsewhere. He should go to ROH or PWG if he’s gonna wrestle in the states, if not he should go to Japan.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 4:22 PMThe annoying thing is that WWE would have Kane lose matches to the likes of Kendrick and Chuck Palumbo only to turn around and release them a short while later.
Also, SIR WILLIAM. How could you ever have faith in the WWE creative team, they are absouletly shit and have been since at least 2001

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 5:06 PMI called this one a while back. I guess they just couldn’t phathom a Kendrick/Lawler match at SummerSlam. :p
Seriously, though, WWE should consider extending ECW to two hours and adding a secondary title there as well (TV Title?). That way, some of the names that get pushed aside or are up-and-coming will have a place to develop and shine. Either that or more talent will get kicked to the curb or be given goofy gimicks on the big time shows (see: R. Truth).

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 7:47 PMsaw it coming when he lost to jerry the fag lawler, was obvious it was going to be one of his last matches in WWE, i dunno who he pissed off backstage (probably triple h) but whoever he pissed off is the reason he ended up jobbing and then being fired, it’s a shame.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 8:26 PMBrian Kendrick should go back to ROH. Screw TNA, they wouldn’t know what the hell to do with him either. Sure he would be able to showcase his skills more, but it was his uncanny chacter from his independant days that made him so loved.
I thought for sure he was gonna at least become close to where SHelton Benjamin had gotten when he was with Ezekiel and grabbed that spot on getting a title shot…But then that just dropped out of thin air….
Then they seemed to have had something for him on finding the perfect partner…then that just stopped out of thin air as well and then just brought back up for something for Jericho. (WHY ON EARTH Did they not just have given it a fun try to see Jericho and Kendrick mingle to see what could have developed!?!?!)
Well Spanky…i hope you are able to get back to ROH and be the Spanky that we remembered why we had such respect for you in the first place.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 8:35 PMwho gives a shit about his weed reports, hes good and hes another they fucked up with using. He was awesome when THE brian kendrick frist debuted on Smackdown and eventually got into the scramble much. He showed he could compet with big names like H and Hardy. He can talk if given the chance and unlike most high flyers and hes good ground work too.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 9:18 PMI have to say that I am glad that he was released. I didn’t like him at any time except when he was a tag team. Paul London was the only reason I really liked that team anyways.

Date: Jul 30, 2009 at 11:30 PMRaw is too much about politics where SmackDown a good talent could get over much easier. I cant really say im surprised cause something like this happens all the time. Bad decision by WWE creative for letting a wrestler this good go to waste.

Date: Jul 31, 2009 at 3:36 AMKendrick to ROH would be the best thing in his carrier. WWE should just quit doing these draft.
Hopefully in ROH both Kendrick and Paul London reunite and become tag team champions.
