Man does it have to be the one who has the enormous hint of steroid usage on him? (aka back-acne) Personally CM Punk would be an interesting idea, and seeing Big Show back on TV would be cool. But no to Snitsky and Khali.... smurf 'em... smurf 'em up their stupid aasses.

Seeing as this whole angle is completely retarded, and Kennedy being the son has now been botched, I hope they go with an absolutely ludicrous choice to push this angle over the edge into Gooker Nominee territory. I really hope it's Sid/Sid Vicious/Sycho Sid/Sid Justice, not only because it would be fun to see Sid on my TV again, but because it would mean that Vince knocked up the mystery woman when he was fifteen years old. Come onnnn, please let it be Sid! *fingers crossed* WoW you read my mind

Now that we know the hint...
-Even though they said it's a WWE superstar, which means it could be from any brand, it's going to be someone from the RAW brand. That's where the storyline's been focused, and that's where they'll continue it on TV. Logically, that eliminates Khali and Hornswaggle.
-It's not Big Show, because he's not going to fly in to TV every week on short notice just to do skits with Vince.
So to me, the logical RAW candidates are Sandman and Snitsky. Both make sense, since they're both crude guys that are the opposite of Vince's polished corporate persona. Realistically, the only shelf life this angle has left lies in them trying to make it "funny", with the son being a fish out of water type that Vince tries to bond with. Eugene would've been an emergency fallback that fit in this category, except they just fired him.
Plus, you can do more with Sandman's character than Snitsky, since they're still trying to push Snitsky as an unstoppable monster in the ring, whereas Sandman's a comedy figure. Also, the "things are looking up" is a better hint for Sandman standing up in the crowd than it is Snitsky (who's only sort of tall).
So yeah, it's Sandman. Since this was a fallback choice (i.e.: Not Kennedy), it'll be a slight letdown. So, they'll rush the angle since it can't go as it planned, do skits for a few weeks, it won't work, and eventually blame Sandman for their writing team's bad creative execution. Then, they'll keep him around for a little while longer, pretending the angle never happened, before eventually wishing him the best in his future endeavors.

I don't think WWE have decided who yet to be honest.

I thought it was going to be Eugene for sure (if not Kennedy) but THAT's out the window LOL.
I didn't watch RAW last night so I dont get this "Things are looking up" business, but if I had my way....I'll name 1 or 2 people from each brand that I wouldn't mind it being.
RAW: Sandman, HHH SD: Flair (Not really, but that'd be hilarious.), JBL ECW: Stevie, Balls, or Dreamer

judging by the "things are looking up" bit, it's either gonna be a) someone tall, like khali or a returning big show, b) someone short like hornswaggle, or c) a high flyer, like rey mysterio or a returning rvd.
however, i don't believe that any of the people who have confronted vince about being his son (kane, coach, etc.) actually will be, so as to enhance the surprise, so i think that it is either:
paul london, who you need to "look up" to watch, because they acknowledged the subtle grin.
or
hornswaggle, who "looks up" at everyone, because wwe have readily acknowledged the mcmahons' irish heritage.

Hell I'll agree with the "WWE Don't Know Who It Is Yet" Theory. I think they are stalling and just pulled this trick to seem less predictable. I'm guessing they are hinting at a high flyer or a heavy weight. Could be Kane? Could be Paul London. Cos of the smile.

I'm going with Hornswaggle. I think not having Mr. Kennedy as the child will be dissapointing but shit happens. I think the only other person that i wouldn't mind it being would be Punk, but with the whole 'things are looking up' line it'll be Hornswaggle.

Let's see if we can narrow it down a bit by knocking a few out ....
The son has to be a current wwe superstar under contract.
-Out: Sid Vicious, Jericho, Hogan, goldberg and anyone else who is not working for the wwe currently.
The son can not already have his father be mentioned on tv or be well known.
-Out: Cena, Orton, Carlito, Chavo Guerrero, Cody Rhodes & Rey Mysterio.
The son is highly unlikey to be invovled in the steroid scandal
-Out: Kennedy, Umaga, William Regal, Edge, John Morrison & Funaki
The son is not on the injured/inactive list:
- Out: HBK, Lashley, Undertaker, Edge, Marcus cor Von, Gregory Helms & Hardcore Holly.
The son can't be as old or older than Vince himself:
- Out: Ric Flair, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Dave Taylor & Jim Ross.
A few wrestlers there is no chance in hell it will be by sheer logic from a lack of overness or the crowd caring persepctive:
- Out: Rory and Robbie (The Highlanders), Brett & Brian (The Majors), Shannon Moore, Mike Knox, Kevin Thorne & Nunzio.
-------------------------------------------
So that leaves a fair chunk left to go ...
RAW - In: Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Hass, Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Brian Kendrick, Paul London, Jeff Hardy, Daivari, The Coach, Jerry Lawler, Mick Foley, King Booker, Sandman, Super Crazy, Todd Grisham, Val Venis, HHH, Steve Austin, Santino Marella & Ron Simmons.
Smackdown - Khali, MVP, Matt Hardy, Hornswaggle, Batista, Chris Masters, Chuck Palumbo, Deuce & Domino, Finlay, Jamie Noble, JBL, Jimmy Wang Yang, Kane, Kenny Dykstra, Mark Henry, Micheal Cole.
ECW - CM punk, Balls Mahoney, the Boogeyman, Big Daddy V, Elijah Burke, Armando Estrada, Joey Styles, Matt Striker, RVD, Stevie Richards, Tazz, Tommy Dreamer & The Miz.
So of those 51 superstars one will be the son.
Now you can continue your speculation ...

Also it was supposedly someone around the ring when Stephanie made that announcement, meaning that narrows it down further to just the Raw roster. And Booker's vanished so we an take him off the list, as well as Coach, Jerry Lawler, Todd Grisham and Ron Simmons as they're not active wrestlers. Santino was mentioned in the scandall as well. I'd imagine we can take Davari and Val off that list as they're little more than jobbers, and Austin and Foley as they're not regular stars and it wouldn't really lead anywhere.
That leaves: London, Kendrick, Sandman, Snitsky, Super Crazy, Cade, Murdoch, Shelton, Haas, Jeff Hardy, , HHH
Out of thsoe, my pick's HHH, cause you just know Vince would go there.

Actually when there was the meeting of the roster around the ring, it was also including some SD and ECW superstars, as I remember Mark Henry and the Major brohters were there.

There were quite a few wrestlers around the ring during that announcement by Steph as you can see in this photo ... Big Daddy V is visible for a start. The statement has been made that it is a wwe superstar, which by the wwe website can mean anyone from HHH to Todd Grisham (all found under the heading superstars) As for Kane, he has such a messed up backstory I doubt it would make much difference.
