*Spoilers may follow*
Well after the HUGE success of previous McMahon story-lines such as Vince's death, Vince turning his wife into a vegetable and the proposed plan to have Steph get pregnant, by her dad (thank god HHH stopped that idea) it seems we are going to get yet another tasteless angle. Well apparently Vincent 'Kennedy' McMahon has an illegitimate son wrestling in the WWE and from the rumours I've heard it's going to be Mr. Kennedy.....Kennedy (see what the did there?)
Seriously though why get KK involved in this tasteless angle? He is already hugely over and doesn't need this and he would have to spend the rest of his career in Vince's shadow, unless they do what they did for Edge & Christian where they practically said "they weren't really brothers after all...our bad."
Anyone disagree with me and think this is a sure fire hit?

This is a farce. Whoever is revealed as the "illegitimate child" will be saddled with this crap for the rest of their career. Remember the angle where Stone Cold was mown down by the speeding car in an attempted vehicular homicide? And after months and months of speculation, it turned out to be Rikishi. Disappointment and anticlimax are two words I would best use to describe that one. It seems they came up with a great idea, and did not know how to follow it up. Well I see the same outcome for this debacle. With any luck it will turn out to be Eugene, and we can all sit back and go "well...figures I guess". When Steph came down on Monday, I honestly thought "NO! They are doing the incest angle after all..." But it turns out that one of the superstars is the child, leading to an incredibly exciting guessing game - NOT! For the record I reckon it will be Kenny Dykstra. He has most to gain from it. Or then again maybe I am wrong, maybe it is KING LEONIDAS from the movie 300. Apparently he is a Smackdown Superstar. Don't believe me? Check it out on WWE.com www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/He's there, honest. |

WTF is he doing on the roster?!
Lmao @ your Eugene comment.
Maybe it will be HHH and then all the McMahon's can get back to fucking themselves.
Well I heard that it would be Ken Kennedy and the reasoning would be that he was named after Mr. McMahon's middle-name.

Yeah but it'd make no sense why he has the name Kennedy when it's Vince's middle name. It's kinda stupid to play this storyline out, it's almost as bad as the fake death crap they tried to put on.
It's great to see WWE atm though, last week you could tell they cared about ratings, Raw was a good show, solid matches among other stuff. This week, back to the same old crap. Will they ever learn?

I think it's pretty damn funny if you ask me. However, this is drawing fans and ratings and that is exactly us as WWE fans are doing. Why not Mr. Kennedy? He's frickin loved by people. And who knows? WWE could pull the curtain on all the rumors and us and end up making Ric Flair his son or something.

They'd be craaazy to have Flair be his son! Although knowing WWE the way we do, it wouldn't be the least bit surprising!
I have to think the bastard child will be revealed as Mr. Kennedy. As stupid a way as it is to give a performer the main event exposure that he needs, it's something that'll push Kennedy into a solid headline status IMO.

Well I thought it was going to be Kennedy, then I thought maybe Y2J but it was Hornswoggle all along....what the hell....
I guess it was suprising, if a little disapointment.

If it were ever gonna get better, it would've long before now. After watching TNA: No Surrender the other night, while far from a classic, it just shows how out of touch WWE is. |

It wasn't Hornswoggle all along, they had to change last minute due to all of the suspensions. I read on PWI the other day that the plan is to still give Kennedy a big push on his return. To me, TNA is out of touch, Metal. They reuse storylines and copy from WWE all the time. Like Pacmans spraying on the back of people. I haven't seen that anywhere before. I just hope the fact that now they have an extra hour they use their talent properly and stop focusing on one or two fueds. People like Sabin and Shelley should be being used properly, not being jobbed to VKM. |

This has been a funny if not one of the most memorable comedy storylines I can remember since the Austin/McMahon storyline, and the prime of DX. I have never laughed so hard while watching Raw for a long time.

Then you are very easily pleased.
I haven't laughed once throughout. In fact it's made me realise how sad and pathetic I am for even watching WWE these days.
The only reason I still watch - and this is honest truth - is in the vain hope that it will get better. I haven't enjoyed WWE for any prolongued period of time now for at least five years.
And even then, the only reason I watched was because of Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar is by far the most exciting thing to happen to WWE since the WWECWCW merge, and the only reason I will start liking it again.
One thing is for sure, apart from Summerslam, I have not bought the last two PPVs, and I will never buy another unless it's either Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble or WrestleMania. And I'll only buy them because I am a traditionalist in the sense that I believe it's pretty obvious now that less is more, and having monthly PPVs is simply diluting what was once hot property.
However you want to sugar-coat it WWE is SHIT today. S.H.I.T.
It's not entertaining. It's not exciting. It's not funny. It's not clever. It's not making me want to watch it after being a fan of nearly 20 years. It's not worthy of the thousands of pounds I personally have invested in the company over the years, be it PPV buys, video & DVD buys, T shirt buys, live event ticket buys and action figure buys.
If this is the way Vince McMahon thinks I deserve to be treated, after all I've given him, then fuck him and fuck his second-rate piece of shit company.
He's lost this fan. I hope they fold.

I just think the storyline is so hilarous because you just have to laugh at it. Cuz let's face it wrestling right now is in a slump, and it's only like this because so many guys are suspended. They lost King Booker, and Sandman. Not like Sandman did much, but Sandman did have talent but wasn't used right. Booker was the man I hope now he gets inducted into the HOF one day.
And now there's a rumor floating about online that Orton attempted suicide over the past year. There's no reason to why and how, but I read that today and just shook my head. With these sort of reports, no wonder WWE is so desperate at the moment, and I realize that. So desperate times call for desperate measures.
I think WWE pretty much realizes the slump they're in. I was discussing almost this same thing with someone else last night and they agreed with me when I said that WWE is doing this because there are still fans who laugh and enjoy comedy, and if you remember correctly they did a lot of comedy during the Raw era with Austin and DX when they were in their prime, and that picked up ratings for them. So I think they are going the same route again, comedy to get ratings up once again.
There is still some good things going on. Example The Undertaker returning and Batista finally winning the World Title at Unforgiven. And next week on Raw it's Triple H vs Carlito in a Steel cage, which should be interesting to watch.
I can't give up watching wrestling yet because there's nothing else really to watch except TNA. If ROH were to get a weekly show, I would probably watch that instead. But until then, as a wrestling fan I choose to watch it because of guys like Triple H who make it enjoyable, and can wrestle.
