Mr. Kennedy hypes WrestleMania, more BY JIM VARSALLONE jvarsallone@MiamiHerald.com
WWE WrestleMania is the Super Bowl of pro wrestling/sports entertainment, and it's probably every wrestler's goal to be part of the annual spectacular.
Just ask WWE star Mr. Kennedy.
''Everybody always says it's the Super Bowl of wrestling, and it really is,'' Mr. Kennedy said in a recent phone interview. ``It's an event that keeps evolving year after year after year. We keep uping the ante and improving on the year before. I'm sure that this year's WrestleMania, being that is the 25th anniversary
, is going to do just that.''
Currently on injured reserve, Mr. Kennedy, 32, took time from his rehab to promote the on-sale release date for the silver anniversary of WWE's WrestleMania. Tickets, which went on sale Saturday, Nov. 8, are available at TicketMaster outlets and TicketMaster online and by phone.
WWE's WrestleMania 25 is Sunday, April 5 at Reliant Stadium in Houston in the great state of Texas -- home to some of wrestling's biggest names.
''As always, you can expect appearances from celebrities, from wrestlers past,'' Mr. Kennedy said. ``Stone Cold Steve Austin will be at this year's WrestleMania. That's already a given.''

I found this on 1wrestling.com... I bring this up for a few reasons.
1. I read that many people in recent months were thinking that WWE was going to give up on Mr. Kennedy being that he is so injury prone and possibly release him. Between him promoting the sale of WM 25 tickets here, to working the WWE Political convention coverage, to promoting his new film Behind Enemy Lines 2, the guy is really everywhere. He is a promotion machine, which is what Vince loves about John Cena currently. Just like Cena, Kennedy does all this extra work for the WWE and I think that could only put him in the WWE's good graces if anything. But certainly this wouldn't make them think about firing him or not resigning him.
2. There is mention of Steve Austin being at Wrestlemania, which we all assumed being that it was in Texas, but personally I am glad that we now have a credible person in the industry saying it.
