Could WWE be any more disappointing with this "son" angle?

When Vince "died" it was supposed to come to light that Kennedy was his son and inherited everything and eventually Linda would have been arrested and Vince would have returned and blah blah blah...

Then Vince had to come back because of the tragic Benoit situation so they did this one to push Kennedy. Then the online drug scandal came along plus, by this time everyone expected it to be him. The reason they had it in his hometown was to conclude that it was him (Kennedy).

Instead we got a midget. Sandman would have been better although one would think he was "extreme" even if he hopped to Raw...

Even Triple H as sick as that would have been, would have been fun for a while until he revealed he wasn't really his son. My hopes were on HBK returning and being the son for a while.

Yeah even the Miz would have been better. Sheesh. But it is true, the little guy won't be hopping anywhere and taking the McMahon name with him.

Oh well, I wanted it to be HBK. You know me, a dreamer. Even Triple H would have been fun for a little while until they revealed it was just a ruse to drive Vince nuts.

This was just blahhhhhhhhhhhh.

I liked the idea of Stevie Richards when they brought him out. Lord knows that they have not been using him to his full potential. He can work, talk and would have been a hell of a lot better than a leprichan.

I liked Stevie too. Poor guy is just being totally wasted.

Speaking of which, how about RVD returning to be the son? Haha, I would have enjoyed that one.

OOOOO I like that one.

Too bad they said it was a wrestler or they could have has it as Paul Heyman. I would love to hear him and Vince play off each other again.

Oh that would ROCK! Heyman is only 40 so he could easily be it. Or Eric! Haha, I would have loved that.

But it's a leprechaun....

Eric would have been awesome playing up against Shane, Steph, and Linda. Remember how he was trying to hit on her the last time he was in charge. He would have grown up just like "dad" running a federation. Just think of him trying to steal WCW back from Vince and actually having a good invasion angle this time.

Sigh It's still a leprichan. (Just as well have been a penguin.)

I don't even know why I still watch these days. My son got me started in 1988 or 89 and I never stopped watching but lately, sheesh, what crud.

I look at it as a soap opera for wrestling fans actually. HAHAHA!!
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

lol crud alright lol..

Nothing but crud lately! A wrestling soap opera, why not get back to the old grudge lines instead of this crud!!

I like good storylines, which is what wrestling is based on, but I want them to have something to do with the feuds not random storylines meaning nothing. This was just a huge waste of time, in my opinion, when so many wrestlers need good storylines and pushes right now.

They love this crazy stuff. This time, their plans changed many times due to things they couldn't control but they could have come up with something less stupid than this.

I heard they considered Eugene but they fired him. They originally wanted Kennedy but he had that online drug thing and couldn't be pushed so they took a let down way out.

I hope it goes away real soon.

Yep, they'll do everything for the sake of money and their business. I really sympathize those very few who lost their jobs, because I know of the too much "politicking" they do inside.

I don't think that these people (Eugene, Cryme Tyme and the rest) really deserves to be fired, I guess they just don;t have anyone to back them up like what "Triple H" has!LoL

You got THAT right!

It really is who you know (or marry) in WWE.

The build up, as always, was better than the conclusion and that is a big problem with WWE. They are very good at building things up but very bad at delivering. That is why fans feel so let down. I enjoyed the show and the suspense but the end... Ugh.

They could have done a Triple H thing (since Kennedy was out of the picture) and revealed in a couple of months that it was all a joke. It would have led to a lot of uncomfortable moments.

Lots of others would have led to fun things and it could have all ended with the whole thing being a joke by the family or whatever.

Oh well...at least it wasn't Kane and Katie Vick (You probably don't remember that one. It was BAD!).

I do remember that one=/
That one was...very sad and I know thats barely scraping it.

They have a Katie Vick award every year now for the worst storyline of the year. This year has been a train wreck of storylines and we're not even near the end of the year.

I like figure skating but tennis and golf both bore me.

As for WWE, there were so many possibilities but they are trying to get out of this storyline and I suppose this was the best way too do it.

Yep... somebody messed up the plot!
I guess I just have a hard time with shows
where the guys have better hair than I do!!

Haha! That is partly why I watch.;)

I know that they want to end this storyline and this is a good way to get out of naming anyone and sticking someone with the McMahon name when the storyline is over. It makes sense in a way but the build up was good and I wish it had been someone cool like HBK. Even if it was just for a couple months then revealed it was just a big joke or whatever.

No big surprises in WWE these days.:(

I don't see how a let down angle will make WWE popular but it has enough viewers who are used to this that they won't suffer much I am sure.

They will probably play it up for comedy then drop it because the original idea was to have it be Ken Kennedy in his hometown but that all changed.

I didn't have expectations because I knew the original guy, Kennedy, was unable to do it due to his suspension and his name in the magazine as a steroid buyer. Once I knew the original plan was scrapped, I hoped for someone who would be fun over the next couple months. I mean the midget could be a "haha" funny goofy thing but I prefer angles where real wrestlers drive Vince out of him mind. I would have preferred Eugene but he was fired too.

WWE is going through a heck of a lot of changes and they always let me down with great build ups and silly endings. But whatever. I still watch and that is all that matters to them.

I know they want top drop this angle so they will probably just have the midget drive him crazy for a while and drop the whole thing.

Well they did the whole musical chairs bit right. No one noticed LB under the ring, so no one really suspected it (I started to wonder when I saw other people from Smackdown leaving during that whole event).

I think Findlay is still on Smackdown along with LB. Kennedy was the one drafted to Raw (now he's on suspension).

Its getting really dry nowadays in the WWE.

Yeah, I'm confused too between who got drafted where, I didn't see that show, so I don't remember.
When it comes to the new mcmahon, I can see some light there, if they play it like "mini Me" in Austin Powers and have the mini mchmahon dress like the original mcmahon and walk like him and be his number 2 man, then that would be real fun and interesting.
I think we need some silliness back, in WWE. With the whole Cena and Randy thing gone all serious and personal, a good half of DX missing in action and Edge not around, I guess they can provide the silly factor which I think is as important as all the other stuff in WWE.
Triple H is still doing a really good job, and then again, if it hadn't been Hornswaggle, then we wouldn't have seen Triple H laugh like that, that was so awesome. He's so hot, even in clothes. And it was a real fun scene when he was laughing like that and when hornswaggle hugged mcmahon around the leg, that got me laughing too.
As you said, we still keep watching it anyway, so we might as well enjoy it.
Oh, my God, I think I'm secretly a Mcmahon fan, ewwww, ah, well, there it is, ha ha.

Actually I did like the HHH lol factor when it was revealed. At least I found that part really worth it. I mean he was actually roflcoptering it at one point!

Yeah, no matter how much it must have sucked for some people, that HHH laughter made it all so much worthwhile.

He kind of does suck.

I guess when his original plan fell through, he had to do something to end the storyline and not put any star in the position of the push Kennedy was going to get so they went with the least worthy of any kind of push (and one who will be easily forgotten when it is over).

I bet the midget will end up fired for real in the end because he really has nowhere to go now that he is in this storyline.

It will be interesting to see where they go - or don't go - with it.
