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. Isn't that essentially the point of every storyline? To push talent and thus ratings? 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. i guess to get people to tune in to boost ratings Yeah, this makes me want to watch WWE...imagine the skits, just IMAGINE THE SKITS!

Can't you guys just take it for what its worth? I could think of a 100 worse sons then Hornswoggle right now. I can't see how you would push anyone other than Kennedy in this spotlight. Obviously, they had the intention to push Kennedy. But since he screwed up, who else are you going to push realistically?
I praise WWE for taking a disastrous situation and having a comedic finish to something that fooled a good amount of people here. Next week we'll have the fallout from Unforgiven, and all will be forgotten.
And you guys seem to forget that the Diva Search is EXCLUSIVE to WWE.com. Yes! That means we won't have to trudge through this.
Among all the terrible things that have happened, things really are looking up!

Isn't that essentially the point of every storyline? To push talent and thus ratings? Says whom? Some stories are just pure entertainment. There's not always a push involved. I think it was a good, funny payoff.

I can't be arsed to read through all these pages and I'm sure people have already said what I'm about to say. I thought it was really funny. Wrestling needed a good laugh after the last few months and we got it.

I think Triple H knew. How else would he have known to bring out that hat to put on Vince's head?

Next week, the lawyer will say that there was a mixup and it's actually The Zombie! Then the week after, it'll be Harvey Whippleman. Then it'll be Nicole Bass! Then, when he's back, it'll be Kennedy. Who will take down HHH for messing with his "dad".

I did have a feeling, hence my sig. I dunno really, in the long term I really don't see how this is going to work...yeah Hornswoggle is over and thus it gives the CW Title a rub, but where they go from here I have no idea.
I'm more upset that Vince buried Stevie by laughing in his face.

For some reason, I didn't mind so much and was relieved that Trips wasn't the son as that would've been disastrous going through with an incest angle. I'm sure Vince has contemplated it though.

So, I guess this is the ultimate swerve.
Even though we could see it coming, he is a little Bastard.
But yeah, let down I guess. It would have been ok if the entire build up wasn't so huge. It would have been funny if it was just an angle, not THE biggest angle since 'Who killed Vince?'

It was only a 5-week angle. It was interesting, got some buzz, and had a funny payoff. Good job, writers!

I agree. They shouldn't have built the angle up so much if it was all going to be a joke in the end. The real joke is WWE's product as a whole in 2007. It's not even wrestling anymore. It's like some horrible vaudeville show featuring circus freaks.

Didn't he pick up Hornswoggle's hat? It fit well on Vince's head, so I don't know if it was his. Well, Hornswaggle's got a fairly regular sized head. I do like the idea of him screwing with Vince more and more, and that Mr. Professor Johnson was hired by HHH. In fact, I would enjoy this more if the whole thing was a DX setup.

I laughed the whole time. It was hilarious. Then again, at this point I honestly think the WWE is doomed no matter what, so I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy watching the mother f***er burn!

My sense is that a swerve may still be coming, but I hope not. It was short and the payoff was funny, which is basically all I demand from a WWE angle that doesn't involve the belts.

I think Finlay should get some sort of compensation. After all, he's the one who brought Hornswoggle into the company.

Everything I've said about this promotion culminated last night and proved what I've been saying is true.
This promotion sucks Donkey Kong balls.
All of this bullskyting storyline and they make the gimmick his son? "Comedy gold!"
What? Obviously, my idea of comedy is different than other people's because I don't find the character or last night's conclusion to the current storyline funny.
It's an insult to a lot of people that watch this show and the other WWE brands.
But I'm in the minority, it would seem, so hey. Whatever. My avatar has never been more on the money than last night.
