Bobby Lashley has recently been interviewed on a radio show called "Busted Open". On the interview he commented about Kennedy's release. When asked if Kennedy works too stiff..
he had this to say :
"If somebody says that, I think they need to get a reality check, man. We're wrestlers, we're not dancers. We're not children. If someone touches you a little harder in a friggin' wrestling match and you go crying about it, that's ridiculous."
"I've been punched in the face, kicked, I've been hammered left and right by several different people. I never went crying and said, 'Oh, he hit me too hard.' That's just part of the business of wrestling. It ain't volleyball. It ain't tee-ball. They're grown men, most of which being well conditioned grown men... I had several matches with Kennedy and I never left the match and said, 'Oh, man, you hit me too hard.' I liked the way he worked.
"I didn't think he was too stiff. I worked a lot of people who are top guys that are a lot stiffer than him. Some of the veterans would even say that they work a little snugger out there. It kind of helps. I don't mind if someone works stiff with me because it helps me react a little better. It helps me get into the match a little more."

Didn't Kennedy injure this guy shortly before he left?

Yep, he injured is shoulder on Raw. Bobby was out for a couple of month after that. It may also be the reason he was fired, after Kennedy had quite the track record of injuring people. Cena, Lashley, nearly Orton. Not very good.
