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? it all honesty it doesn't seem that all different then what chikara would do. besides who knows, this may help put over noble as the mcmahons try to have him screw over hornswogle. Well, aside from the fact that Chikara would never be stupid enough to write themselves into a corner like this, to say nothing of not doing a bastard son storyline in the first place, Noble will get N-O rub from this. He'll be, at best, an afterthought. It's entirely likely that after this Friday night, we'll never hear another thing from him again.

"He really is a little bastard!" and that is another reason why this is a good pay off. As it has been mentioned a few times, any other performer would have to be "Vince's son" until they are wished good luck on future endevors. Of course this would create problems if said person were to leave and go to TNA (especially if they wrestle under their real name or own the rights to their ring name) But it kind of seems like this was planned all along given that he was "The Little Bastard" by Mitchell Cole.

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. Kennedy left them a week to rewrite 7 months worth of storylines around someone else. Kennedy screwed himself and Kennedy screwed up the biggest angle of the year by violating the Wellness Policy. They went for a quick fix that can quickly be forgotten by almost everyone. So yeah, I blame Kennedy. that is my feeling and so I can easily see why someone else would think it.

Okay.
Hornswoggle being McMahon's son is a comedy angle.
People would've bitched if it was anyone else regardless of who the son was.

This is just for comedy, I dunno, but I bet the people at USA network are pissed about this-they wanted an angle like this, but I bet they didnt want this result

Real Talk:
Hornswoggle is having a great year-
*Won the cruiserweight title
*Appears on countless backstage skits on SD"
*Is now Vince's "son"
Anyways, look on the bright side, think of the comedy goldmine
this is:
They could have Vince take Hornswoggle out for a "son's" night
out with Shane.

Blame the result on Kennedy. Its his fault for using HGH. It would've been a serious angle and he doesnt deserve the rub now.
Great ending to the angle, finish it off and move on.

If it was Kennedy it would have been the most anti-climacctic thing ever!, and he would have the stigma of being the bastard child long after the angle ends, which it would have soon cuz thats how creative rolls

I was beginning to think-Am I the only one that's glad it wasn't a serious angle? Now after a month or two they can move on from this w/out having to have it be a permanent fixture to a real wrestler's character.

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. Have you ever stopped and thought for a moment that...maybe, just maybe, they deserve it?

I challenge you (or anyone, for that matter) who watches this stuff to tell me that when you watch this product on TV, you don't think things are ever done on the fly, or that a lot of these guys have concrete proof of what's going to happen 7 months down the road. 1 month? Even 2? I might give you. But unraveling one part of an entire show for one night in a virtually interchangable storyline? A spot that could have (by the fan's accounts) could have gone to anyone on the fargin' roster? Dude. I can't follow that logic.

let's just say it was Kennedy...Now for the rest of his career he is "the guy who was a mcMahon,but now for some reason,is not".now he's stuck in the middle of nowhere with a horrible character because he was stuck with a crappy label early on.
Look at Kane..the one time brother of the Undertaker/burn victim who couldn'nt speak.Now he just floats around the roster,absolutely meaningless.He should've held the world title 6 or 7 times now,but he's midcard at best,and it sucks.
IMO,Kennedy dodged a bullet.

I'm not saying it's the best they could do, but they aren't booking this anymore as a "serious" angle. So what's the problem?
Down the line they can still include Kennedy in it as McMahon making Kennedy is "real" son. As in he treats Ken like his own son.
