The way to be unemployed

It's sad to see one of your favorite performers let go. The WWE has cleaned house in recent months, even just now releasing a Laugh Twin favorite, The Brian Kendrick (well, one Laugh Twin favorite). So often, they disappear and are never heard from again, or they join TNA, which...same difference.

This has not been the case with dual Laugh Twin fav Ken Anderson, aka Mr. Kennedy. The bond of the Twins was strengthened with their shared love for the loud-talking, blonde haired dynamo that hails from Green Bay, Wisconsin. So we were genuinely sad to hear that he was released from his WWE contract, following a return from a lengthy injury, only to be injured again. Despite looking like this generation's Kevin Nash, we still were upset that he wouldn't be gracing a WWE ring again.

But he hasn't been silent. Saddled with a 90-day no-compete clause in his contract, Mr. Anderson has to sit at home and not participate in any professional wrestling activity until it runs out. Whereas others would simply shut themselves off for a while and relax out of the spotlight.

Ken Anderson decided to document his time off work with an on-going YouTube series, dubbed by the mark sites as "90 Days." How these have avoided our radar for so long is a mystery, other than the fact that we're constantly busy doing gentlemanly things with the gentleladies in our immediate proximity.


The Laugh Twins

These videos are a minute or two in length, and cover a variety of topics. At this point, there are seven of them, and for this post, we're picking a few that particularly tickled our fancy. Do yourself a favor and watch them all at your leisure.


"Episode III" chronicles Ken's time hanging around the house, and what's noteworthy is that it's not all that different from what we do around the LOL Cave (he's even playing Punch-Out on the Wii!) We imagine that if we had to spend three months off work, our life would exist pretty much exactly like this, and we'd 100-percent just about every video game we could get our hands on. The scene is completed by a couple of crumpled cans of Mountain Dew and Red Bull on the table, along with junk food and some sort of liquor. We're almost certain this was shot in our house.


We're no strangers to Twitter, and apparently neither is Big Ken. "Episode IV" is your standard Twitter-based humor, pointing out that people typically lead more interesting lives online than they do in real life. Of course, Mr. Anderson's mundane day is still miles cooler than ours, so he could just tweet about that and we'd be impressed. Who doesn't want to know about his bathroom conquests?




And "Episode VII" is the longest of the bunch, but that's not why we're picking it. Ken pokes a little fun at himself in this one, addressing his run-in with the WWE Health and Wellness policy. Also, those pants are pretty kickin'.

And we haven't had a shot of his junk on the site yet.

So we definitely suggest following this one! Maybe Kendrick will give us a window into his efficiency he shares with Billy Kidman!
