WWE star Mr. Kennedy is still well over a month away from even thinking about returning to a wrestling ring after suffering a dislocated shoulder last year and needing extensive recovery time.

Kennedy, frustrated by another injury setback, is set to meet with Dr. James Andrews on February 28 to get the "okay" to return to the ring, hopefully in time for WrestleMania 25.

"It's been extremely frustrating," Kennedy told Kevin Eck in the Baltimore Sun. "I think you just have to keep your head up, though."

He says he's slowly getting full range of motion back in his shoulder, but it's tough to stay motivated to train for wrestling shape when the rehab on the shoulder is so draining.

"I've just been in the wrong place at the wrong time," Kennedy said about the injury bug striking him. "I had the Money in the Bank and was on the way to becoming a world champion and then injury struck. And it's just been one thing after the other, but I just keep my head up. I was told a long time ago that if you have talent you cannot be denied and eventually good things will happen."

Kennedy is part of the Smackdown brand and hopes to return to the ring with a feud against Triple H. "We've done it on a couple house shows, and we've had a couple tag matches together on TV, but not a whole lot of contact," he said. "He is the man right now and I'd really like to get in there with him."

Kennedy has been on TV for the past month hyping the "Behind Enemy Lines" WWE film and defends the movie against critics of the movie. "It's just a fun action movie — nothing more, nothing less," he said.

"It's not going to win Oscars. It's not going to be Picture of the Year or anything like that, but it's a fun movie if you're in that type of mood."
