Son Of Vince McMahon Thread (Warning Spoilers)

[The Dark Vampire]

Update on Vince McMahon's New Son
Even though the majority of the internet wrestling fans have already figured it out, the WWE still plans on going through with Mr. Kennedy as Vince McMahon's son.


Backup Plan

In case the audience doesn't buy into the storyline, the WWE has already made alternate plans for Mr. Kennedy.

If things go bad, then the writers will change up the storyline to where Mr. Kennedy forged the legal documents and altered the lab results. His character will be portrayed as someone who wants success so much that he's willing to do anything to get it.

That's actually not too bad of a plan. It'd definitely help make Mr. Kennedy the top heel on Monday Night Raw.

Plus, a feud between Mr. Kennedy and Vince McMahon could do wonders for the former WWE United States Heavyweight Champion.


Keeping It Real

Fans aren't going to buy the "Vince McMahon's son" gimmick for the long term. Everyone already knows that he's not related to Vince McMahon.

By having Mr. Kennedy being a con artist who tried to trick Vince McMahon, then it allows his character to retain some sort of realism.

It's kind of like how the writers gradually stopped focusing on the fact that Kane was the Undertaker's brother. Once Kane established himself with the audience, that part of his gimmick became less of a focus.


Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and Triple H

By October or November, Stephanie McMahon is expected to be involved in the storyline. Interestingly enough, she'll be playing the face this time around.

Triple H is expected to make the save on Stephanie McMahon and reveal himself to be Vince McMahon's son-in-law still. For a while there, the writers tried to play it off as if Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were divorced.

Shane McMahon has been informed by the writing staff that he will be needed in a few months. He's expected to face Mr. Kennedy at the Royal Rumble.


Wrestlemania Main Event

The plan as of right now is to have the feud between Mr. Kennedy and Triple H last all the way until Wrestlemania. A large majority of the people backstage are pushing for the match to be the Wrestlemania main event for Raw.

As of now, there's still a debate going on whether or not to put the WWE Heavyweight Championship into the storyline.

The storyline is good enough to where it doesn't need the title belt. Use the WWE Heavyweight Championship to elevate another match on the card.


Closing Thoughts

At first, the storyline seemed rather ridiculous, but after all these new details, it's starting to sound like it has potential.

Not a bad idea I really think it could work

[Denzil]

While people are posting Storylines, here what would of happened in the "Vince is Dead" storyline. It was changed due to Benoit's death obviously.

from www.f4wonline.com :
Here is basically the entire Vince McMahon is Dead storyline as it was originally conceived. I should note that there were other versions of this story and it would probably have changed many times prior to completion because it was very long-term and things like injuries and such always do a number on plans. Plus, this version would have required Vince to be out of the picture for a long, long time, and after about a week there was already talk of how to bring him back to TV.

Anyway, the idea was that Vince got in the limo and supposedly blew up. We saw the entire storyline leading up to the big three-hour Raw which ended up being the ill-fated Chris Benoit tribute show. The plan was for that entire show to be built around an investigation, and at the end, Linda McMahon was going to be arrested. It would turn out, though, that she was innocent. In the end, nobody would be able to solve the mystery, so it would be determined that the case was closed and it was time to move on. This would lead to a special Raw where they'd air the reading of Vince's will. The reading would be done by Vince himself, on video, supposedly filmed before he blew up. Vince would then announce that he was leaving everything to his illegitimate son, Mr. Kennedy. This would be the giant revelation.

This would also lead to the revelation that HHH was married to Steph and was Vince's son-in-law, and thus we'd get a long Hunter vs. Kennedy program where Hunter, the knight on the white horse, would be fighting to bring Camelot back to the McMahon Family. When the time was right, Vince would return, they'd reveal that he faked his death, and that he and Kennedy were in on the whole thing together because Vince felt Kennedy was the only one in the family with that real ruthless aggression. This would also lead to a program with Vince vs. Shane in some form.

I was told last week that the plan for Raw was to basically start up the Vince is Dead storyline where it left off, though I'm not sure how much of the original story they still plan on going with. I would strongly presume that Kennedy is still playing the illegitimate son role. The company is currently grooming him to be the number one top heel even though it's acknowledged that he still has a ways to go in the ring and on the mic, largely because they feel Randy Orton has been fine lately but at his core he's still a head case and they can't built all their plans around him.

Unless things change, Orton will still likely beat Cena for the belt at SummerSlam, but if he goes nuts again that idea will be scrapped.

[Geddy Peart]

Good God, reading those two "storylines" makes me glad I stopped watching this stuff years ago.

[NW77]

I got to agree with DV on this story. Not the best idea, but it might work. We'll see how it turn out soon.

[The Dark Vampire]

Now they have started the son of Vince storyline I hope they revile it was a con along

Whoever is given this storyline to run with will be forever stuck with it forever so what happens when Vince gets bored of the storyline lets face it no storyline can last forever so this could last a good what 6 months maybe more but what then are we just supposed to forget that (we'll say Mr Kennedy as he is most likely) Mr Kennedy is son of Vince and have the announcers and other wrestlers not mention it at all

By doing the con storyline they could even extend it by another 6 months with a possible face turn for Vince and after it's over Mr Kennedy doesn't have to have the stigma of forever been Mr Kennedy McMahon.

This way they can truly forget it happened and like ever storyline move on once it's out lived it's welcome.

[The Dark Vampire]

Warning WWE WM24 main event news plus who will be champion (when Kennedy gets his obvious title shot or who will face if for the title)
Current plans call for the Mr. McMahon paternity angle to lead to a WrestleMania 24 main-event match between Triple H and Mr. Kennedy. At last word, the plan was for WWE to continue slowly dropping hints that Kennedy is the illegitimate child before finally revealing his identity during a three-hour Raw special in October.

Stephanie McMahon will be returning to television on a full time basis in the near future -- likely in October or November. She will be returning because her status as her father's heiress will become threatened due to Kennedy. Triple H would reveal his real-life marriage to Stephanie, thus disclosing that he is Vince's son-in-law. This would set the stage for the Raw main event at WrestleMania, which at last word is going to be Triple H as a babyface vs. Kennedy, likely for the title and with all the members of the McMahon family somehow involved. Shane McMahon has been told he won't be needed in the ring until around Royal Rumble, so he'll probably be Kennedy's first family victim.

USA Network executive Bonnie Hammer is said to be very satisfied with the angle. She is the one behind the idea of a three-hour Raw special in October.

Furthermore, WWE has a contingency plan in case the storyline bombs with the audience. It would be revealed that Kennedy faked the lab results in order to gain access to McMahon's money.

I like the ones with Kennedy being a con artist pretending to be the son. Those may well be interesting

[Kane Lives]

I have to say that a Triple H vs. Mr. Kennedy title match at WM 24 sounds more interesting to me than most of the WWE Title matches in recent memory.

[Nancy Thompson]

I do too I think that would be interesting.

[The Dark Vampire]

So it's not Mr Kennedy.

I wonder who they can find as a quick fix replacement to what will likely be the biggest storyline in the whole of WWE.


Now they have to look at a few factors

they need someone who can carry it off so they need to be good in the ring and good on the mic.

They need someone who can work main event as the son storyline was going to end with a feud with HHH over the WWE title at WM24

They need someone who isn't likely to have to take time off if they fail a certain test

To be honest I can't think of anybody who could pull it off.

I think they may have to do a cop out and just say there is no son and it was a set up by Linda-Steph and Shane to get him back for faking his death.

That would suck!!
The last thing I want is another aborted storyline,
but
I don't know who they could use.

[The Dark Vampire]

I agree but I would sooner them end it now than have pretty much most of the next year based around a storyline where the main wrestler involved sucks.

Imagine if with that last line they give it to The Great Khali or go the opposite route and turn it into a comedy angle with Hornswoggle.

[Toejam]

My roommate had jokingly said it should be Hornswoggle,
and I would rather it be him than nobody at all.
If they can't find a legitimate wrestler, then they should just end
the storyline by Survior Series, but I don't want them to drop it altogether.
Fans want/need some kind of payoff, not another storyline that
ends abruptly with "Ha, we faked it, it never really happened."

[The Dark Vampire]

The pay off with Kennedy was going to be he faked the test I suppose they could still go that route whoever gets picked turns out to of faked the test to get his hands on Vince's money get some power and get title matches ect

[Toejam]

I would be fine with that, I just don't want them to have it dropped with the explanation of

That wacky McMahon family faking another stunt.

They need wrestlers involved.

[Nancy Thompson]

I really do not care who the son is i just wish they come out and let everyone know and get over with it. I just hope its not gonna be HHH because that would be just sick because of HHH & Stephanie been married in real life

[The Dark Vampire]

Sad thing is this was planned from the start (about 3 years ago) it's even why they gave him the name of Mr Kennedy.

The plan was when Vince "died" at his will reading he was going to leave all his money and the WWE to his secret son who would of course turn out to be Kennedy the difference there would be Vince knew all along and had been taking care of him financially all his life as well as got him into wrestling and WWE

This would of gone on until next year where Vince would reveal he faked his death with Kennedy's help of course.

Then it would be Vince and Kennedy vs The McMahon's and HHH who would of been revealed to be Stephine's husband.

Then they would of feuded for another few months the storyline could of gone up to almost 2009
ADDED:


I really do not care who the son is i just wish they come out and let everyone know and get over with it. I just hope its not gonna be HHH because that would be just sick because of HHH & Stephanie been married in real life

Don't worry they are not going that route I just read today they are still going to reveal that HHH and Steph are married and it's likely he will still feud with the son
ADDED:
Going back to Hornswoggle think about what his name used to be.

[Special Killa B]

Great way to bring Chris Jericho back. It'll get Jericho back in the Title picture where he deserves to be and I wouldn't mind seeing Y2J vs HHH at WM24

[The Dark Vampire]

Steph did say he was at ringside but they could either forget that or say he was at ringside in the crowed in disguise.

I think they may sill pull a swerve and go with Kennedy the big reveal wasn't going to happen until the 3 hour special in October and Kennedy will be off suspension by then.

[The Dark Vampire]

Going back to Hornswoggle think about what his name used to be.

Well I was right.


However I can see this been a swerve and when Kennedy returns it be reviled that HHH switched the test results around (which in a later angle Kennedy had already faked) and then paid that guy to lie about it been Hornswoggle

[hack slash]

H should have nailed Vince then Pedigreed Hornswaggle's little ass:D

[NW77]

H should have nailed Vince then Pedigreed Hornswaggle's little ass:D

NOOOOO!! No one should fuck with Hornswoggle. And I mean no one. Not even HHH. :p

[Denzil]

This should result in 3 - 4 weeks of some great comedy skits. When Kennedy finally gets back then the storyline will go back to what it should of been.

[ChoKo]

NOOOOO!! No one should fuck with Hornswoggle. And I mean no one. Not even HHH. :p

I laughed my ass off when Kennedy PWNED his little ass at WM23.

[NW77]

I laughed my ass off when Kennedy PWNED his little ass at WM23.

I wish there a video of that. ;)

And it kinda cool to hear they're both from Green Bay. Not to mention both has blond hair. It like they're brother or something with having certain things in common. :p
