Ken Anderson Says SmackDown Roster Welcomed Him With Open Arms, But Raw Stars Dumped ‘Hot Oil’ Over The Side
Ken Anderson compares the differences between the SmackDown vs. Raw roster when he worked for WWE.
In WWE, Ken Anderson was known as Mr. Kennedy. He worked for both of the main brands of WWE at different times in his career. Over the years, fans have heard numerous stories related to Anderson’s firing from WWE. The wrestler himself has said that it was because of John Cena and Randy Orton that he got fired.
Speaking on Tagging in with Chris Harris, Anderson was discussing his release and said that John Cena never liked him.
“John [Cena] never liked me. … I felt like John had it out for me from almost day one.”
He then compares the differences between the SmackDown and Raw rosters in terms of how he was treated.
“It was weird because when I was on SmackDown, it was like I was welcomed in with open arms. I had all these people… It was like two mountaintops. On the one side, you’ve got all these big stars, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Batista, Eddie Guerrero, Kane, Booker T, Finlay, all throwing rope ladders over the side and extending their arm like, come on up here, we’ll help you up here. Everybody trying to make everybody a star versus over on the Raw side, it was like, guys are dumping pockets of hot oil over the side and taking boulders over like, ‘Fucking stay off my mountain. This is my mountain up here.’ Very, very different scenarios.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Anderson says that Orton and Cena worked together to get him released from WWE. Fans can read his comments here.
