Known in WWE as Mr. Kennedy and in TNA as Mr. Anderson, he is still semi-active in the pro wrestling industry. Pro Wrestling Revolver recently posted a tweet on X (fka Twitter) featuring a promotional poster for the 49-year-old’s debut in Season Finale.

Mr. Kennedy was under contract with WWE from 2005 to 2009. He moved to TNA after his release, where he won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship twice: once in 2010 and once in 2011. He also fought an iconic match against Kurt Angle during his time in TNA at the Lockdown pay-per-view, which, according to him, is the best match of his career.

Mr. Kennedy had refused to take up an offer from Vince McMahon in WWE

Ken Anderson made an appearance on the All Axxess podcast on November 17, 2025. There, he revealed that Vince McMahon had once asked him to hang out with him more. Mr. Kennedy said that while he had a good relationship with the ex-WWE chairman, he had heard about the stories of McMahon’s bad side as well.

The former head honcho wanted Mr. Kennedy to learn more about the pro wrestling business from him personally. While this could have elevated the career of the former United States Champion, he said that he passed up the chance because he didn’t want to indulge in flattery.

“All generally positive, like he never messes with me. I've seen him mess with people. I've heard stories of him messing with people that are like nightmare versions of stories. But I always had pretty positive interactions with him. In fact, at one point he was like, 'I want you to start hanging out with me.' This was right when I got on board. He was like, 'I want you to learn the ins and outs of this business.' I just never took him up on it. I don't know. Hindsight is what it is. I just didn't feel comfortable. I didn't want to be a kiss-a**. I felt like I didn't know any other way to go about doing that without feeling like a kiss-a**,” he said. [From 28:31 - 29:26]

Anderson noted that looking back, he doesn’t have any regret for missing out on the opportunity, and he never felt comfortable enough to take up McMahon’s offer. It would be interesting to see what lies ahead for the WWE legend at Pro Wrestling Revolver.
