WWE star Mr. Kennedy says he won't be back in a WWE ring until March, which he hopes will still put him in line for a WrestleMania appearance.

As he's said in previous interviews, keeping in shape is difficult for him, especially when he's been on the road promoting the "Behind Enemy Lines" DVD, which he was grateful for the opportunity to be part of.

"In the acting business, you kind of take what's given to you," Kennedy told Crave Online in a pre-Royal Rumble interview. "This role was kind of just they called me up and said, 'We'd like you to read for this role.' I went and read for it. Turned out I got the part and I wasn't about to turn anybody down. I thought the script was a good script and involved one of my favorite genres in the movie industry."

The movie is heavy on military scenes, which Kennedy says he was well-equipped for. Kennedy was asked if he could "out-military John Cena," who played a Marine in his first movie, and Kennedy said, "Well, definitely."

"Actually having gone through the military myself in real life, I was a member of the Army Reserves for six years and went through boot camp and stuff like that," Kennedy said. "So when we got to Puerto Rico and we had to go through our military training for the movie, it was kind of like being off of a bicycle for several years. You pick it up and you know how to ride it right away."

Kennedy was asked about errors in the movie, or embellishments for the drama of the movie that otherwise wouldn't fit normal military protocol in a battle.

"I think that it's important to be accurate just because hopefully we're going to appeal to the people that are in the military and I know for one, when I watch a movie that has a military background to it or a military feel that I'm always looking for inaccuracies and things like that," Kennedy said.

Kennedy says he wanted to be as accurate as possible, but it's often-times difficult "because the real thing doesn't translate to camera."

"A lot of times a guy wouldn’t be taking a knee in the middle of a field to fire at the enemy, but lying flat on your belly isn't easy to get picked up by the camera," he said. "You've got to take the knee in this case."
