During an episode of Pancakes and Powerslam, Ken Anderson (Mr. Kennedy) commented on why he never returned to WWE:
“I don’t really know,” said Anderson. “I think part of it had to do with my attitude, probably. I was very – I was like bitter for a couple of years after I left WWE, and said some things I probably shouldn’t have said. In hindsight, I can say if I could point to any one reason, I would point to myself.”
