After successful defenses against Absolute Answer (Caden Ames and Chris Able) and American History Next (Hardcore Craig and Steve Stone), they dropped the championship to The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) on September 8. Kennedy and Davis kept competing in the AAW tag team division, and on October 20, were unsuccessful in regaining the Tag Team Championship in a two ou of three falls match. DP Associates were supposed to face The Michigan Invasion (Truth Martini and N8 Mattson) on December 18, but Kennedy was unable to make the show after he flight was cancelled, so Davis wrestled on his own in a handicap match, but lost. Kennedy made his final AAW appearance at My Bloody Valentine '08 on February 9, 2008, when he and Davis lost to Zach Gowen and Krotch.

Juggalo Championship Wrestling (2008–2009, 2014–2015) Kennedy debuted in Juggalo Championship Wrestling during season 2 of its internet wrestling show SlamTV!. Along with his partner Zach Gowen, Kennedy participated in the "SlamTV! Tag Team Title Tournament" for the vacant JCW Tag Team Championship. In the second episode, Human Tornado, former partner of Gowen in The Pimp and Gimp Connection, saw heel manager Scott D'Amore leaving Kennedy's dressing room and grew suspicious. Human Tornado ran into the ring, forcing Kennedy to retreat to the stage, where Scott D'Amore met with him. A match was then set for Bloodymania II where The Pimp and Gimp Connection would face Kennedy and a mystery partner. Kennedy competed the rest of his tenure as a singles competitor.

In 2014 Kennedy now under the ring name Krimson returned to JCW in a losing effort to 2 Tuff Tony.

World Wrestling Entertainment (2007, 2008) In 2007, Kennedy would make three appearances in World Wrestling Entertainment, using the name Conrad Carr on an episode of Heat in a losing effort to Carlito.

On May 12, 2008, Kennedy appeared on Heat using his "CK3" nickname in another losing effort, this time to "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.

Legal disputes with TNA Carnes has claimed that Total Nonstop Action Wrestling used his gimmicks without compensating him on multiple occasions.

In 2011, he sent a letter to TNA President Dixie Carter. In this letter he claimed that TNA had received several promos from him, as Krimson and later Villain, portraying a character akin to The Joker in The Dark Knight; TNA later used the Krimson name for another wrestler, and used the Joker-like face paint for Sting's reinvented gimmick. According to Carnes, he had received rejections by bookers due to his similarities to both of these wrestlers.

In 2016, he sent a cease and desist letter to TNA, objecting to the portrayal of Crazzy Steve (a crazed clown character) as being similar to his Krimson/Villain gimmick, and the Decay stable as being like his Dead Wrestlers' Society stable. TNA responded to Carnes later that week, stating that his claims would not hold up in court as, among other reasons, he had described the character to TNA's bookers as being like the Joker, so he could not claim copyright. In an interview with Justin LaBar, Carnes denied that TNA had contacted him.
