Tall, Dark, and Handsome | |
| Ken Anderson (Wrestling) / int_1892d512 | comment |
Tall, Dark, and Handsome: 6 foot 2 with blonde hair and blue eyes. This was primarily a reason Bully Ray, feuded with him back in 2011. Bully Ray mocked Kennedy and called him a "pretty boy" before a match they had, started. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| Ken Anderson (Wrestling) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: Makes one with Hogan to get put in the position to take revenge on Sting and RVD for beating him up repeatedly. The deal was "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours (Immortal's)." Being the self proclaimed asshole he is, Anderson literally scratches the back of two Immortal members carrying him around after the match and then beat them up, rubbing it in Hogan's face. Except later on, he actually does take the deal, after Bischoff helps him beat Sting for the title. Only for him to lose the title shortly thereafter and get screwed with by Bully Ray, leading to his quick exodus from Immortal and adding two or three more entries to his vast number of gimmicks in 2011. Speaking of which… In 2012/2013, he would make a similar deal by signing on with the Aces and Eights. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Ken Anderson (Wrestling) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: During the "Who's Vince's kid?" angle, it was Kennedy who was originally slated for the spot. Then he failed a drug test note Though Kennedy claimed that the drugs were legally prescribed, but that Vince let him go anyway due to Congressional pressure following the Benoit incident, and they gave the angle to Hornswoggle. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Ken Anderson (Wrestling) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: Anderson grew up in the podunk town of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, admiring fellow small-town boy "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Now in TNA, as "Mr. Anderson" he has had the opportunity to recreate the enormous success Austin enjoyed in WWE in the late 1990s and early 2000s, paying tribute to his idol with a similar Wild Card moral alignment and a crowd-pleasing anti-establishment attitude. | |

Small Name, Big Ego | |
| Ken Anderson (Wrestling) / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: He appeared to embody this trope when he exploded onto the scene in the late spring of 2006, claiming to be WWE's newest sensation and harboring such a high opinion of himself that he performed his own ring entrances in authentic ring-announcer style. 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 his braggadocio, defeating the likes of Batista and The Undertaker (albeit by cheating, getting his opponent counted out, or by goading the other guy into dishing out Disproportionate Retribution 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. | |

Tranquil Fury: When he comes back on August 25, 2011 to take his revenge on Immortal. Before he's done, Scott Steiner was sent through a table and Gunner beaten to a bloody pulp with the same chain he'd used on Anderson weeks before, and made Bully Ray watch. All with no emotion at all on his face. | |

Serious Business | |
| Ken Anderson (Wrestling) / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: According to Kennedy himself, he was only one of several wrestlers called in to be punished for failing the drug test. He also claims that the drugs in question were prescribed legally, but that Vince told him they were dropping his push anyway, due to steroids being found in the autopsy of Chris Benoit, Congress was breathing down their neck and they felt that they couldn't take chances. | |

Put on a Bus Twice. First from WWE, when he was released in 2009 for botching a move against Randy Orton in an eight man tag match. Then from TNA in 2016, reportedly due to behavioral issues. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Ken Anderson (Wrestling) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gave one to Immortal and Hogan, telling Hogan how he used to look up to him and Hogan's now just a shadow of his former self. Anderson goes on to tell the rest of Immortal that he'd rather know he's an asshole than to kiss Hogan's. He ended up getting beat up for it, but made great points none-the-less and did seem to rattle Hogan a bit. | |

Leeroy Jenkins: When Abyss returns against Aces & Eights, Anderson charges right at him while Bully Ray and Devon suffer a Deer in the Headlights reaction. Abyss promptly runs over him without even losing any momentum. He tries again after Abyss spends a few minutes Curbstomping the other two...and is promptly chokeslammed through a table. | |

Anderson won the vote in the end, and DOC would turn in his kutte. Shortly after, Devon also ended up being Put on a Bus…and then all went downhill between Ken and Bully Ray. | |
