Ken Kennedy Remembers Dropping Money In The Bank In 2007
Fans were waiting to see him become WWE champion or the World Heavyweight champion soon. There wish was actually half granted when he won the WWE Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 23. It was one of the most star studded Money in the Bank where wrestlers like Randy Orton, Edge, The Hardy Boyz, Booker T. Of course there was CM Punk but he was still not a star.
After carrying the briefcase for a number of months, he was forced to drop it to Edge as he picked up an injury which literally killed his WWE career. Soon after he had to leave WWE and he went to TNA Wrestling where he carried the same gimmick. But unfortunately he could never be as famous as he was in WWE and he could never reach his full potential. He is not active in the world of wrestling for last 3 years.
Ken Kennedy who is also the winner of the Money in the Bank 2007 recently spoke to Steve Fall from NBC Sports Boston where he talked about winning the Money in the Bank ladder match back in 2007 and also looked back at dropping the Briefcase to Edge. He said;
“It is what it is. I can’t change things that happened in the past. Yeah, it was kind of crazy. Hearing the whole story of how it played out, I felt something pop in my triceps. My arm swelled up, my arm turned black and blue. Hornswoggle drove me to the hospital that night. I went to the emergency room, they did an MRI, which I hate, I’m like claustrophobic.
“So I did the MRI, and then I’m waiting in my hotel room. Stephanie called me and said, ‘Ken, you tore your triceps off the bone.’ Now, they had already told me two or three days earlier that I was gonna be winning the title from Taker. They told me that, because Taker was hurt, too.
“He needed to have bicep surgery. So we need this title off of Taker. What we’re gonna do is we’re gonna have him in this cage match, he’s gonna barely squeak out alive, and somebody else is gonna come out, beat him up some more. Then you’re gonna cash in your Money in the Bank briefcase and you’re gonna be the new champion.
“So I went home and I slept on it a couple days. Then the next time I took a bump, boom, I feel something pop in my triceps. Anyway, go to the emergency room, get that MRI, Steph calls my phone and she says, ‘You tore your triceps off the bone. You’re gonna be out for eight or nine months. Unfortunately, we still need to get that title off of Taker.”
