wow, I wonder if this is this was after the PPV. Wonder if this is why he was in the stands all night and showed him kind of going crazy and angry.

jeez, this is coming at the worst posible time...so much of raw was hinging on regal being a superheel.

poor kennedy...the guy was on the verge of a serious push. who knows what they do with him now. wonder if this means they shift him over to the i.c. mix to feud w/ y2j? i wanted to see the regal feud but i guess i'd be ok w/ kennedy/y2j run.

Maybe in the end it would have been smarter to make CM Punk the King of the Ring winner...

this always happens when some one get a big push they screw up

[Big Evil]

Oh man Regal has screwed himself royally! You would think a guy put in such a position would be wise enough to NOT screw up! Oh well, maybe he'll learn from it.

God Dammit.

Well, this obviously explains what happened on RAW last night. And as it's been said, this couldn't have come a worse time for Regal as he was getting a big push. He's probably been on-screen more than anyone else the last couple months. But another big loser in this suspension is WWE in general. Regal was becoming a major heel. It's amazing how naturally he gets heat from the crowd. RAW was short of high profile heels as it was. I think this just further makes the case for someone like Cena or HHH to have a heel turn some time soon.

When a big push comes, the wrestler screws himself over, that is the WWE Rule... first Jeff, now Regal, and the trend will continue

Hopefully Kennedy moves on to do something meaningful. I mean, he has been screwed time and time again when his turn for a push came up (first injury, second injury at the same time as Undertaker's injury losing him the money in the bank, suspension...).

I for one won't miss Regal on screen though...

Ugh, Kennedy was getting his push off of this and now it's ruined:( Everytime Kennedy's getting a push, either himself or someone else messes him up:doh:

The guy is useless anyways, get rid of him, sit down behind the stage and picks his nose.

For the last few weeks, Regal was getting the biggest heel heat of anyone in WWE. Quite the opposite of "useless".
