Sad news indeed. Kenny Watson is quitting the PulpMX Show for family and personal reasons.

He will be missed. He adds a lot of character to the show.

That's a bummer!! I like his honest approach to the show. Hope they get someone good to replace him. JT$ or Ping would be awesome!

dang, between being a current team manager and and sporting the 'tude that he did, he was a big part of the show.

Mad props to Matthes for putting it all together, but I think Watson was a pretty important ingredient.

Fuck really? I can't listen at work...

IF that had anything to do with RC, that's weak...

Tho really I think Kenny has been kinda over it for a while...

I dont really think it was RC, I think it was, like he said, a combination of a lot of things.

The show needs an edge now, ping cant be on it every week now that he puts out fires and punches dogs in the head.

JT is good but Watson has a flair too. The show needs a smart witty person, not easily found in Moto...(travis Preston?)

Agreed. Watson was good but I have faith in Matthes and Tits holding it down 'til they find a replacement.

The guy always had great oldschool & newschool stories well worth listening to and I always enjoyed hearing his insight & opinion on things. Hopefully he pops in from time to time or even calls in every now & then.
I definitely will miss Kenny.

hes got a brand new baby, new life, plus the manage job... no time. Before, it was him, and managing. Now, a full plate and major respect for focusing on his baby and wife.

he will be missed

Watson is now a part owner of the team. It was time for an image upgrade. This seems appropriate at this juncture. Even though this kid has been around the sport longer than most of the current riders, he finally has a chance to become a big wig. Good for him. Good move. But yes, he will be missed.

That show has done probably as much if not more for Watson's popularity than him managing H&H...

People might know Carey Hart from Pink and the TV show, but loads of MX people/fans would know Watson from Pulp I would think...

Sucks. JT won't be able to come over to Vegas, and it adds a lot to have the co-host in studio. how about this chief mechanic guy from H&H, cant't recall his name right now?

Show won't be as much fun though. I loved when Kenny was losing it or just giving Matthes a hard time. Not to mention the oldschool stories.

Right on. Matthes and Tit's make the show in my opinion. Kenny just bitched and acted like he didn't want to be there.

that O'Rourke stunt was the biggest waste of time and childish act by Watson. All that because the guy expressed his view about an interview of RC. That was so stupid.

What a bummer. The show will be fine without him but it is way better with him. What also sucks is Kenny provides inside info sometikes and that is what I will miss. There has been a few guys on the show that I thought have done awsome but I can't remember who.

That's not good news. Kenny brings a lot to the show. As a listener from when he started I have to say I didn't really care for him at first. His stories were always great, but I thought he was posturing a lot in the beginning. Maybe I've just grown used to that, but for sure he shows his human side a lot more and he seems like a good person who cares more for the riders than many team managers do. Hope he visits often.

Man Kenny has all those old school stories that I enjoyed listening too. I liked the spark he would add to the show.

Wonder who the replacement will be?

we will never know though. It will always just be speculation. I have to go with what the guy said. I have no other reason to believe different. Although, it does seem strange given the time line.
