I'm just insanely glad no "real" superstar had to be stuck with the rather limiting schism of being branded Vince McMahon's illegitimate child. At least this way no one (except Hornswoggle, who's essentially a comedy character anyway) has to live out the rest of his WWE career as part of such a goofish storyline...
Still, if this wasn't wrestlecrap before, it is now.

All I can say is
Thank God my University doesn't have a Sky TV.
Nor does anyone I know actually like Wrestling.

For reasons others have stated, I'm glad Hornswoggle turned out to be the son.
But then I never cared about the angle anyway.

I've read all 24 pages and after reading the Hornswoggle stuff, the Kennedy stuff, the Mama's family stuff, Beverly Hillbillies and what not... All I gotta say is... Cool!

Somehow this thread went from anger about Hornswoggle to a debate involving Raytown and Mama's Family.
This may be my favorite "threadjack" ever.
Iola Boyland for the win! Nothing beats a freezedried cat. Well...maybe the Family Feud episode.

I watched it live for once yesterday, and I'll say this, the build up and finish was very entertaining.
People are always saying they don't want vince taking up the entire show, well with hornswaggle as his son he won't.

This has to be a top candidate for the 2008 Gooker Award. If the Cena/Orton feud weren't so entertaining, I would give up on WWE altogether and just watch TNA.

I thought about this overnight and I realized something: We all took the angle too seriously.
And maybe that's the problem.

Let's all over-react and have kneejerk reactions to something! It will be fun!
I think people are just mad because Hornswaggle is more over, and more popular then they will ever be in life.

I absolutley howled with laughter. I watched it live at 2am to 4am and when I went to bed my only thought was "I can't WAIT to see the reactions on wrestlecrap!". This would have been a whole lot less funny if it wasn't for you bunch of freaking nerds screaming in sheer rage over a wrestling angle.
Vince's son is a leprichan and there is nothing you can about it! Hahahaha! XD

The funny thing is, I think the plan was to have it be Hornswaggle the whole time. Because then, if Kennedy hadn't screwed up, they would have had him there as the last man, in his home town, convinced that he was Vince's seed. And then they would reveal that Hornswaggle was Vince's son. The place would have erupted in boos and everyone would have walked away pissed.
Yes, I do believe that the WWE is that petty.
The only way this is going to work is if Horny starts acting and dressing like a McMahon, kinda like El Guapito in AAA. But every once in a while, he'd slip back into being the chaos-causing ankle biter he is.
But I know that's not the way they'll go.

Anybody else would have been a better choice. We all know Hornswoggle isn't going to last another two years or less, so what's the point of giving him the push? It's ridiculous.

The more I think about it, the more I feel they missed a great opportunity to have Vince's son be Super Porky.

It was funny. Who said that there was going to be a big push involved with the son? Where was that written?
Good, surprising finish to an entertaining storyline.
