He would often say that he was "the man who is single-handedly changing Friday nights!" The twist was that Kennedy actually ''could'' back up to his standards.braggadocio, defeating the likes of Wrestling/{{Batista}} and Wrestling/TheUndertaker (albeit by cheating, getting his opponent counted out, or by goading the other guy into dishing out DisproportionateRetribution to him and gaining a disqualification victory). In fact, the only occasions when Kennedy seemed to come up short were when actual titles were on the line.
