Former WWE wrestler Mr Kennedy is known to be one of the most brash and obnoxious wrestlers in history. He was over the top and very loud and that was in sync with his persona. He was a very confident person on the microphone and that translated into the ring as well as he was one of the better wrestlers during that time in the WWE.

Kennedy also had a very weird way of introducing himself to the crowd before a match. He would stand in the middle of the ring and a mic would dangle from the top and in a loud and shrill voice, he would say his name not once but twice. Speaking to WrestlingNewsCo, Kennedy revealed who came up with the idea of saying his name twice and he came up with a very surprising answer.

He said, “Paul Heyman came in, took over creative. He was like, ‘Tonight I want you to go out there, cut the ring announcer off, run him down, and then you’re going to do your own introduction. Only you know how to do it.'”

Kennedy had a decent time in the WWE as during his tenure, he went on to win the WWE United States title and also won the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2007.
