That was the lamest thing I've ever seen. No, womens wrestling is alot lamer than this..... I find humor in it.... not to sound like an echo, but if not Kennedy, better than the game

See, pretty much everyone is right, imo. It's the best AND worst payoff ever.
I gave up on getting good serious angles from WWE ages ago, and I've come to watch basically just for the entertainment value of incredibly off the wall stuff like this. So to me, imo, it's the best payoff ever, by virtue of it being the worst payoff ever.

There isnt a long term with this angle anymore KENNEDY was going to be the son, but he screwed that for himself. This gets them out of the angle and very little has to be done now. The Son didn't have to be revealed now. It was just last week they announced they would tell us this week. So they couldn't wait? When they knew last week Kenndey was going to be suspended. They didn't have to announce this week. I personally dont think Kennedy deserves the rub it would've gotten him after this drug crap. They needed to finish off the angle and get on with things, giving it anyone else would've saddled that person with the McMahon moniker for the rest of his career. It would've worked with Kennedy, and to finish it off it was perfect going w/ Hornswoggle.

I actually do think this is a smart idea. come on, it's not the WORST thing that happened. HHH as his son was too obvious. atleast now we can get comedy bits between the mcmahons and a leprechaun. But if HHH was the son, we could've gotten actual....wrestling matches. I know those are dirty words on Raw right now, but honestly, is promoting wrestling on a wrestling show that bad? He's HHH. He could get matches if he was Funaki's son.

I will say this.....if we are talking about Gookers, this revelation has almost everything the Gobbledy Gooker had. So in that sense, it would be the Gooker.

Anyone who is praising this is just doing so to be different. Yeah cause the cool thing to do is bash the company over every little thing they do.

I wonder how many people would defend TNA if they had a midget win the XDivision title, defend it on a number of occasions and then be the pay off of a 6 week angle that had tons of segments devoted to it. Hmmmm.... Not a soul. Death for the promotion would be predicted and vitriol would be rained down upon the heads of Jarrett, Russo, Carter, and Mantel. But since this is WWE, it's high comedy. The double standard is stupifying, and this is coming from someone that hates TNA.

Yeah. Let's rip off some more movies that are like 5 years old. The sad part is, I'm sure this is how the writting staff (and Vince) are justifying this. "HEY! Austin Powers is popular! Let's do a major mini-me angle!"
Uhg. What's next? Is Vince going to have some "gel" in his hair ala There's Something About Mary? Or, maybe Doc "D'Lo" Brown can show up in the DeLorean and bring Vince back in time so he doesn't bang Hornswaggle's mom. Oh! I know! Let's dress Hornswaggle up in a grean ghost costume so the WWE can capture some of that Ghostbusters popularity that the kids are so into these days!
I've been watching for 20 years non-stop. I think the fed has finally jumped the shark. Worse than Gooker!

So is Midget McMahon coming to RAW, or is Vince going to SD? I was at the smackdown tapings last night, and the only thing Hornswaggle did was come out from under the ring during a comercial break and Attack Michael Cole, then ran back to the back with Finlays shelalaigh that he forgot. So Im gonna assume he is off of smackdown now. However that doesnt explain what will happen with the CW Title

Yes. I suppose in a perfect world, we could blame Kennedy for the 'writing staff's' inability to produce compelling TV. This is the second week in a row that we've had a BS McMahon segment instead of an actual main event. Yes, of course. It's Kennedy's fault that the writer monkeys for RAW couldn't churn out anything even remotely more interesting than a quick sight gag for a cheap laugh. You know, instead of making the angle actually pay off. You can't be serious placing the blame on Kennedy, can you? Kennedy was the one who violated the Wellness Policy and got himself suspended the week before what should have the biggest night in his career so, I'd say yeah. I'm sorry if I fail to see the logic such a proposal. Kennedy screwed himself - not the angle. The angle had a degree of potential, and it could have been anyone. Anyone else could have potentially stepped up and been a real shocker. But no. The writers went with Hornswaggle. The leprechaun. And that's somehow Kennedy's fault... Sorry. Don't buy it. Try again.

They easily could of blown this off at Unforgiven, but they decided to go the comedy route rather than permanently brand anyone else. So they gave it away for free. It's harmless.

Anyone who is praising this is just doing so to be different. I disagree, because Hornswaggle is pretty entertaining, I just don't really care for non-stop buildup of this angle just so they could make it a big joke. And the angle being screwed up really doesn't fly for me. The WWE goes out of its way to hire all of these "talented" writers, they should be able to change things on the fly. Although I do think they could have done worse....i.e. HHH.

This was supposed to be a serious angle and one in which Kennedy was catapulted into main event status. However, he smurfed that up himself. So if you're going to blame anyone if this angle sucks, blame Kennedy. Yes. I suppose in a perfect world, we could blame Kennedy for the 'writing staff's' inability to produce compelling TV. This is the second week in a row that we've had a BS McMahon segment instead of an actual main event. Yes, of course. It's Kennedy's fault that the writer monkeys for RAW couldn't churn out anything even remotely more interesting than a quick sight gag for a cheap laugh. You know, instead of making the angle actually pay off. You can't be serious placing the blame on Kennedy, can you? Yeah pretty much. If they were honestly going to bore us with Kennedy being the son anyway, then it's his fault for screwing up. Not that him as the son would have actually been entertaining. Great wrestler but his 'introduce myself and say my name twice' bit has gotten old. I don't give two craps about Hornswoggle, but at least this made me LAUGH, something Raw hasn't managed to do in a long time.
