Serious Injuries - Lung Injury, Latissmus Dorsi Tear

Outlook - Ken Anderson was a big guy working the Midwest indies when pro-wrestling was at its peak and it seemed like a promising career. He was an excellent athlete with great size and personality. Anderson became known as "Kamikaze Ken" for his high-risk moves and sustained some serious injuries along the way. He began getting some exposure on WWF's b-shows and on bigger independents like IWA Mid-South. He signed a developmental contract in early 2005 and showed incredible character and passable in-ring ability during his time there. It was no surprise that WWE brought him up quickly during these tough times and his self-announcing Mr. Kennedy character got over well. Injuries continue to nag him, but it seems the WWE will stick behind Ken Kennedy who shows great promise.
