Was/is Kennedy the "cancer"?

[Lionheart]

Anybody remember Vince's "cancer" promo a few weeks before his demise that caused such a stir here?

So if the angle is that Kennedy is Vince's illegitimate son, can we assume Kennedy was (and is) the "cancer" that Vince was agonizing over?

[Thomas Powers of Paine]

Kennedy is more like chlamydia.

No, because back then they were almost certainly not planning to do an illegitamate kid angle.

The cancer thing was him playing up the fact that he was going to "die". He "felt" it because he was the one planning the (fake) death (along with Kennedy, supposedly).

And people think the reverse battle royal was confusing

Actually they were according the notes posted here


Possible spoilers

Here is basically the entire Vince McMahon is Dead storyline as it was originally conceived. I should note that there were other versions of this story and it would probably have changed many times prior to completion because it was very long-term and things like injuries and such always do a number on plans. Plus, this version would have required Vince to be out of the picture for a long, long time, and after about a week there was already talk of how to bring him back to TV.

Anyway, the idea was that Vince got in the limo and supposedly blew up. We saw the entire storyline leading up to the big three-hour Raw which ended up being the ill-fated Chris Benoit tribute show. The plan was for that entire show to be built around an investigation, and at the end, Linda McMahon was going to be arrested. It would turn out, though, that she was innocent. In the end, nobody would be able to solve the mystery, so it would be determined that the case was closed and it was time to move on. This would lead to a special Raw where they'd air the reading of Vince's will. The reading would be done by Vince himself, on video, supposedly filmed before he blew up.

Vince would then announce that he was leaving everything to his illegitimate son, Mr. Kennedy. This would be the giant revelation. This would also lead to the revelation that HHH was married to Steph and was Vince's son-in-law, and thus we'd get a long Hunter vs. Kennedy program where Hunter, the knight on the white horse, would be fighting to bring Camelot back to the McMahon Family.

When the time was right, Vince would return, they'd reveal that he faked his death, and that he and Kennedy were in on the whole thing together because Vince felt Kennedy was the only one in the family with that real ruthless aggression. This would also lead to a program with Vince vs. Shane in some form. I was told last week that the plan for Raw was to basically start up the Vince is Dead storyline where it left off, though I'm not sure how much of the original story they still plan on going with.

End


Anyway the cancer was more than likely his family or the fans.

Yeah, my understanding was that they were going the illegitimate kid route all along.

And people were declaring wrestlecrap of the millenium when he blew up. If it played out like that it would have been a great angle.

The WWF Has TERMINAL....CANCER. (best promo Vince has ever done)
