Mr. Kennedy Sighting in NYC

During a recent trip to New York City, Mr. Kennedy (Ken Anderson) happened to be hanging out in the heart of New York City late night on Monday October 26th (same night WWE Raw was in Buffalo, NY). Along with Kennedy was a camera crew and holding a microphone was former ECW & WWE talent Paul Heyman. Heyman currently does weekly or sporadic blogs through the UK Sun about wrestling topics, and often times criticizes the WWE or its stars. The Heyman Hustle is his official site where you'll probably find the video he's done with Kennedy in the next week or so. Kennedy had a crowd around him with people asking who it was.

It was very likely that Kennedy was in New York for Hulk Hogan's TNA press conference on Tuesday (see video here). Mr. Kennedy is scheduled to work on Hulk Hogan's "Hulkamania" tour, and some believe that Vince McMahon may try to get Kennedy back in attempt to sabotage Hogan's tour. WWE news site Wrestlezone had an earlier speculative report that WWE may try to re-sign Mr. Kennedy and Wrestling Observer reported that Kennedy was not signed to TNA, because his management team advised him not to. Since leaving WWE, Kennedy has wrestled for World Wrestling Council's 2009 Anniversary against Eddie Fatu (Umaga) and defeated Chuck Palumbo for the NWE Heavyweight Championship in the Nu-Wrestling Evolution promotion in this past year.

While it's unknown for sure why Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson was in New York, the superstar has been out of pro-wrestling work for months since his firing by WWE. The firing came back on May 29, 2009 over complaints from other wrestlers (including Randy Orton) and injuries caused by Kennedy due to some botched moves in the ring. He was fired within 1 week after his return to the ring on WWE Raw from injury. Kennedy also has started an acting career when he appeared in the straight-to-DVD flick "Behind Enemy Lines 2", a film heavily promoted by WWE.
