7 months worth of storylines?? 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. Every report had this leading to Wrestlemania with Trips vs. Kennedy with all the McMahon's involved. They have wanted to put Kennedy in the main event of Mania for months now and this was to be his storyline. No, not anyone could have been put in this. This was going to be used to make a star and Kennedy was the one on the verge of it. No one in the WWE is at the level he is or had the support he has. Ummm.... OK, then. LOLZ

Now they can have Kennedy v. Trips in a wrestling match w/no silly ass backstory. At least the potential is there.

And let's stop with the childish sniping at one another. Surely a goofy angle isn't worth that.

Seriously.. How does Russo keep employed by both WWE and TNA at the same time? But really.. I was praying the entire time that the words "break the walls down" or "one of kind" would play. Just because that was two hours I spent watching a show that I was switching between that and the spanish channel's soap opera show with some very attractive girls in revealing outfits. There is a blonde, but the best looker is a brunette imo.

Now I'm starting to wonder if this was the "big suprise" that bin Laden was talking about last week. It is 9/11 eve. And it is a disaster.

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. Yep.

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. It kind of lost its seriousness when they were wheeling out all the women 2 weeks ago. Exactly. Why hamper someone like Burke, Kennedy, Punk, or any other wrestlers with something incredibly cheesy? If they are going to push Kennedy when he comes back, they will find a way. They can still do the whole McMahon feud involving Kennedy.

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. The way you speak, Spank, I wonder if you think Chikara could ever do any wrong.

Oh wait, it's okay for you to go "Anyone who likes this angle is just doing it to be different." Yet you bat your eyes when someone else does the same to you? How is me saying that WWE deserves criticism on a board where there are hardly any WWE haters "being like everyone else"? I don't get your logic, or your attempt to "burn" me. So yes, I pretty much roll my eyes at you.

This is the first RAW in how long where Cena hasn't been the most hated man of the evening?

Well...leave it to the wrestling community to stick their nose up to a very nice cover-up to busted plans.
I'd like to give my opinions on this:
Kennedy screwed the angle all up by becoming the "Rafael Palmero" of the WWE. Anyone who thinks he still should've been the guy better not bash Randy Orton getting "special" treatment.
Anyone who hates it because it wasn't Triple H had better never mock Vince for the incest angle.
This was a long term planned angle that had to be repaired in around two weeks. People have already defended why Hornswoggle is a good choice.
I don't understand the problem. Then again, people would have hated this no matter what. No matter who it was, we'd still get the lame "I'd prefer wrestling!" posts from people who feel the need to remind us that the 2 hour show isn't an hour and forty-five minutes of pure athletic wrestling.
You guys could make a person bitter. Thank goodness I have a light heart. Also, I have some laughter saved up from the ending sketch.
That's all I got. Goodnight folks, I got a test tomorrow. And no, not Andrew Martin.

Seriously.
If it was CM Punk - guess what. He's the guy who was 'C McMahon Punk' for years and then randomly isn't by bad writing.
Hornswoggle is just a fun little side story. Let it go.

Kennedy's been "dodging alot of bullets" the last couple of months.
He'll be in TNA before we know it.

I honestly think that this was planned the whole time. I think in the coming weeks we will see that HHH came up with the idea to mess with Vince. It will come out that he hired a fake lawyer to play some mind games with Vince leading to a bigger storyline. Agreed. except I dont think that this was the plan the whole time. I think after the idea of kennedy being the son leaked out, this was plan B. To have HHH or DX scheme this Hornswaggle thing

The way you speak, Spank, I wonder if you think Chikara could ever do any wrong. No, Chikara can do plenty of wrong. Just look at the continued push of Shane Storm and the fact that Lince Dorado is even IN this year's Cibernetico for evidence of that. I'm just sick of it being brought into conversation EVERY time I try to complain about stupid comedy in wrestling.
