MVP.
It needs to be a heel, he is the one of the best they have and he needs something to push him to the very top.

Let's see if we can narrow it down a bit by knocking a few out .... 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. Mysterio could still be the son, since Rey Mysterio's his uncle and not his father. Plus, WWE doesn't acknowledge, as far as I can tell, Sr's existence to any significant extent.

I think the phrase "Things are looking up" is one of those things where you have to sound it out and say it different ways before a real clue actually comes out. Did you have the same backwards talking card dream?

Wasn't the clue "Look up"? So it's either someone really tall or Rey Mysterio (theme song and all) or someone who is somehow associated with those words. Or creative will forget that was ever said by next week. I'm going with Khali Your Hornswaggle theory works too. It could be Colt Cabana since he hails from Chicago and that city has the largest skyscrapper in the US! And to see skyscrappers you have to do what?....LOOK UP!

You know, I'm actually going to make sure I don't miss Raw on Monday (I'm usually hit and miss these days when it comes to watching Raw and Smackdown).
Anyways, my guess is Jeff or Matt Hardy, a McMahon storyline might be what they need to elevate one of them to the next level. They are both really over and faces (which would make sense, since the bastard son seems to be opposing Vince right now).

I still think it's Triple H, but I'm not clever enough to figure out the clue

I would mark like no man has ever marked before if it was Paul London or a returning RVD. But it will probabally be Sandman or Khali, both letdowns. Big Show would be okay I guess.

It would be awesome if it was Sting (WCW and TNA). He hangs out in the rafters so you have to look up for him. Of course this is impossible but still it would be amazing.

I think it's good to stop and point out what a good storyline this is. Complain about all the McMahons if you want (and you'd have a point), but this is exactly the kind of Lost-esque mystery that wrestling needs more of to give people reasons to turn in week after week.
This has also been set up well. It could easily be either a face of a heel (a face would feud with Kennedy, a heel with HHH), it'd be an easy way to boost someone new, and any eventual face-heel turns are set up in such a way that would make sense.
I mean... unless they do something stupid like having the DNA test be a bait-and-switch, and they reveal a red herring next week by saying HHH is the son, before revealing it to be Kennedy after all. But, I mean, they wouldn't do that. They understand that such an obvious swerve like that would be way more annoying than having it be a surprising midcarder you'd have to then build up.
Uh, well, on the other hand, "things are looking up" does make sense if it's Kennedy...
aw, hell.

I hate how much sense having it be Hornswoggle makes. That would be an excuse for a bunch of cheap midget jokes instead of a potentially very interesting angle.
That being said, I have a feeling it'll be Kennedy still. If not him, then Punk (possibly the most interesting choice) or Snitsky. I know some people mentioned Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin, but I think the logic of Vince's son being not only African-American but pretty dark-skinned is a leap that even WWE wouldn't take.
I've been puzzling over the "things are looking up" quote myself, but it might not be a reference to height or an aerial wrestler ... it could mean "look up" as in research, meaning Vince & family have some investigating of their own to do.

I would seriously mark for the first time in 2 years if we got a Cena heel turn:
Vince: "John Cena, who you think is your father is not your real father at all! It was me, John, dammit! It was me all along!"
*Cena looks like he's going to punch Vince's teeth in, but swerves everyone by turning around, hoisting Cena Sr. on his shoulders and planting the FU. Then he hugs Vince as marks look on in horror*
J.R.: "Damn you, Cena! Damn you straight to hell! Bah Gawd!"
I seriously would not be suprised though if it was Kane. People would become interested in him again, it would give him plenty heel heat and hopefully a good push (finally), and the guy's been through SO MUCH WRESTLECRAP in his career already that it's not hard imagining him happily going along with this. Writers: "Hey Glen, listen: We're making a storyline where you'll be revealed as the bastard son of Vince."
Kane: "Oh crap, not agai- I mean, yeah sure, ok! But I'd better get at least one title shot."
Writers: "Umm...how 'bout we put you in a triple threat with Khali and Batista with you doing the job?"
Kane: "Aw, fu- Ah, whatever. Book it."

according to last night vince got the woman pregnant while cheating on linda one night on the road. since he didn't enter the business until 1971 that means the son can't be any older than 36.

Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but I'm really surprised no one has come to this conclusion ...
I think it's either HHH or Shawn Michaels, mostly HHH though. Why did HHH randomly show up in the middle of the McMahon promo? Well, he DID make a wink,wink,nudge,nudge greeting to his out-of-kayfabe wife in front of everyone. And it seems like his role was to be that antagonist to Vince yet again. Vince wanted the incest angle for shock value and if HHH was revealed as the son, he'd get it. Plus, despite what any of you try to tell me, Vince wants as much of the focus off of wrestling and onto entertainment, because "wrestling" doesn't get the kind of attention he wants for his corporation. The media would eat this up while he tried to play it off in kayfabe. Lots of stupid beat-the-viewers-over-the-head-with-a-lame-stick comedy opportunities that WWE has evolved to.
As far as the clue, "Things are looking up" seemed to fit perfectly (to me, at least) into the whole HHH prankster thing as he interupted the MchMahon segment. He's already made references to the DX crap in ring with Vince, and the last time HHH (and Shawn) said that things were looking up, Vince and Shane got a ceiling full of crapola dumped on them when they followed his instruction. So, it seems as if the proverbial "crap" is about to hit the fan next week.
I may be way off. I really hate the angle anyway, but that's what a casual observer who could care less has taken from this whole thing.
If it's not either of those two, I'd guess Kennedy for the swerve.
If this were CHIKARA Ring of Glory, VINCE would be Vince's own son.

HHH= born 1969 = 38 years old michaels = born 1965 = 42 years old. they are both too old. not only that but neither of them were by the ring the night steph said "your kid is someone standing around this very ring right now" so it can't be shawn or hhh

I agree that it is someone on Raw, but I don't like Snitsky or Sandman (they seem too fringe and, honestly, not worthy of the push/attention this will draw). My two main contenders are:
1: Lance Cade- Yes, he's a successful tag team champion and C&M is actually growing on me (I had no interest in them before). But when I saw Lance Cade last night, for some reason, the name McMahon popped into my head. He has "the look", was entertaining announcing, and is a good wrestler.
2: Brian Kendrick- Cade is my real choice, but I'll throw Kendrick out there since a fair amount of people are leaning toward London because of the grin before the limo. Vince calls everyone out the ring next week, looks at the piece of paper with the name of his bastard son, glares at Londrick. The announcers start speculating that it's Paul London, but McMahon makes it clear that Kendrick is his son
If the son is not on Raw, then I would go with Elijah Burke or Kenny Dykstra.
