Former WWE wrestler Hardcore Holly called Mr. Kennedy a mf'er in an interview and said he would wind up jail if he ever sees Kennedy again. Holly didn't hold anything back talking negatively about Kennedy.

"He's a dead man walking," Holly told insidepulse.com to promote an independent show appearance for the VPW promotion in the U.K.. "I told VPW that if they get him on their show, I'll not only work for free but I'll fly myself in too. If I ever see him again, I'm going to jail, that's all there is to it."

Holly was released from his WWE contract in January, but says Kennedy didn't have anything to do with it because Kennedy "didn't have any clout, he was a backstage joke." Holly ripped Kennedy for getting him in trouble, though.

"He turned me in for doing something he gave me permission to do, he broke the rules and threw me under the bus. You don't do that to one of the boys, tell them that something is okay and then turn on them the moment that it looks like you might get heat for it," Holly said.

Holly took a personal shot at Kennedy that it was only a matter of time before he was released from WWE anyways, so it didn't matter if Kennedy was trying to cover himself after making mistakes in the past.

"I guess he had done so many stupid things in the year before that he figured he couldn't afford to do anything else wrong," Holly said. "Didn't make any difference in the end, he only lasted a couple more months before they realized how sloppy and boring he is and got rid of his whining ass."

Holly, who was suspended from WWE in 2008 for a pain pill addiction, claims the reason he was released from WWE was because he was tired of being a jobber on TV and wanted out of the promotion. He says he sat down with VP of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis, who said he would try to find something for him creatively. When the creative team didn't come up with anything, Holly says he wanted out of the company.

"I felt they could have been using me much better, building to something with other guys and letting them learn from me over a period of time rather than just having some green newcomer go out there, get a quick win over me, and then move on without learning anything," Holly said. "I told Johnny that I'd stick around if they were prepared to get behind me and start using me in a more meaningful manner. Well, turns out that creative weren't, they had other priorities now, so I decided I'd be better off off-screen. The door is open though, there weren't any bridges burned."

Holly ripped the creative team for spending too much time writing promos instead of building characters, which is a common complaint from viewers and critics.

"If creative didn't worry so much about doing their scripted interviews and just took a little time with people outside of the ring, showed the fans who we all are, it'd be interesting and it'd get the boys over," Holly said. "You watch me on a show and you just see me wrestle. You draw your own conclusion. If you were to spend ten minutes with me backstage or at home, you'd have a different opinion. They should open that door and make it more real."
