WWE Fan Nation Votes on

 Who Will Be Revealed As Mr. McMahon's Son? 

 

 

You are the father


For weeks, World Wrestling Entertainment fans have been wondering who the bastard son of Mr. McMahon could be. The questioning period is almost over and the disappointment period is right around the corner. That doesn't mean that WWE Fan Nation (or fannies, as we call them) aren't showing their opinions. They have 'em and they ain'ts afraid to use 'em.

In a move unlike any other in the history of WWE.com 24/7 Magazine, we have allowed our fannies to vote for who they believe is the illegitimate son of Mr. McMahon. However, unlike other times, we haven't limited their choices. That's right. For the first time ever, we allowed our eager little fannies to write in their choices. Needless to say, the response was overwhelming and very, very diverse.

The top vote getter, with 5% of the vote, appeared to be a body part rather than a person. Surprisingly, "My Penis" garnered the most write-ins. We can only imagine that the voters, already knowing the gender of Mr. McMahon's child, felt that this was the safest choice since boys have penises. (Girls have vaginas) By voting for their own penises, one can only guess that the fannies were hoping that they themselves would be the offspring of the chairman.

In second place, with 4% of the vote, was "TNA." Fans may remember that these three letters represent one of WWE's most popular tag teams (for about 2 ½ weeks in 2000). The group consisted of A-Train, Trish Stratus, and Andrew "The Punished" Martin (Test). While none of these people are currently employed by WWE, we could only imagine that fans were hoping for a big return. Perhaps our fans felt that Mr. McMahon's baby-batter split three ways and created a tag team. Knowing the potency of our WWE Chairman, we wouldn't doubt it.

The third place winner was an actual WWE performer. Triple H checked in with 2% of the vote. The unstoppable, amazing, handsome, charismatic, funny, exciting, magical, mystical, omnipresent King of Kings has been a top favorite for many since this entire paternity case was first revealed. On top of simply voting for the awesome Cerebral Assassin, most fans also wrote in their thoughts on this possible outcome. Some of the write-in comments included:

* "If I'm right, I'll jump out a window."

* "It came down to a choice between Triple H, my penis, and TNA. Then at the last minute, Triple H beat my penis."

"Triple H ends up being the payoff to every angle because he's married to (illegible)"

Surprinsingly, with 1% of the vote, there was a 23 place tie for third. The tie was between:

Stevie Richards   Uncle Elmer    Genital Herpes    Congressman Cliff Stearns    Sonic the Hedgehog    F*ck You    Hornswoggle    Paris Hilton   Mr. Bean    Donald Trump    Dave Meltzer    Chyna    Stewie Griffin    Smackdown Sucks    I like Weed    Shane McMahon    Pwned    Boobies    Randy Savage    WCW    Saddam Hussein    Wressling is Teh Gay    Kurt Angle

As is WWE.com 24/7 Magazine's practice, none of our fan votes were ignored. Each one was treated as a legitimate vote. Partially because we wanted to maintain the integrity of our voting and partially because we have very low expectations of our Fan Nation's collective I.Q.

SuperVince

Once we got past that tie, our votes were much more scattered. One of the surprise choices picked by some of our fans was Linda McMahon! How horrible would it be if Mr. McMahon married and fathered children with his own daughter? Although the chairman has gone on record as saying, "I wouldn't be totally grossed out by that concept," Linda would be. She called our offices to discuss it.

"Uck. I would not want to be my husband's daughter. If that were the case then…BA-BA BOOEY! BA-BA BOOEY! HOWARD STERN RULES!"

Linda then hung up and we realized that it wasn't her who had called, but rather a prank phone call. We would normally leave that out of our article, but we get paid by the word here. So, screw it.

That's right. We get paid for every single every little single word that we write. Every single single single single single single single one.

Another vote that we received was for former WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar. The vote came from a fan who coincidentally was also named "Brock Lesnar." He added his phone number and contact information at the bottom too. Not sure why.

We also received 100 votes for a wrestler with a strange name - "How can I get a job with WWE?" We thought this could be some sort of Middle Eastern or Asian name at first. Someone suggested that it may be a question rather than a selection, but we're not 100% sure.

By the way, 90 out of those 100 votes came from sports entertainers currently on another company's roster.  Ha.  Suck on that.

We contacted Mr. McMahon about who he feels might be the best choices out of our fannie votes. The chairman read through each and every one and gave his thoughts.

"Let's see. What the hell is this? My penis? Why did you count that? Half of these are stupid…what's this one? "My Math teacher - Mr. Panarites?" "My butt hurts?" Are you people crazy? Why are you including this in your article?"

We informed the chairman that we get paid by the word. Every single one. He stared back at us for a minute and then continued.

"One thing is certain. My son will be the greatest achievement in my life. I can only imagine what it's like to have a real boy with my blood flowing through his veins. I've always wanted a son. You know, besides Shane."

The Boss then ate some Combos. They were Pizza Flavor and really cheese your hunger away. He offered us some, but we declined because we weren't sure how clean his hands were and he was just reaching in the bag and grabbin' at 'em. We feverishly took notes as he did and he asked us if we were going to be including this in our article. Again, we reminded him of how we were paid.

At this point, Vince said that we should start wrapping things up.

"The WWE Fan Nation certainly has some great ideas," The Chairman said as Combo crumbs dropped from his mouth. " I can assure you of one thing, when the revelation is made on Monday Night Raw from Green Bay, Wisconsin, the fans can be prepared for a great night in television!"

We would be excited about this upcoming announcement due to the Chairman's hype. However, he also enjoyed Britney Spears' performance at the Video Music Awards.

WWE Monday Night Raw will air live from Green Bay Wisconsin on September 10th, 2007. The show will begin at 9pm and the illegitimate son of Mr. McMahon will be revealed as Hornswoggle.

Oops. Maybe we should have left that last part out. Then again, it's an extra word. Ca-ching!

What did you vote for? Come on. Fess up. Jim Ross knows. There's no use hiding it from him. Alongside the last remaining crown wearer on Raw, Jerry Lawler, good ol' J.R. is stoked as a joke on coke over tonight's broadcast from Green Bay, Wisconsin. That's right. We're going to find out the identity of the McBastard and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. Speaking of not a damn thing you can do about it, WWE Champion John Cena can't do a damn thing about anything tonight either. The Marine has been barred from the building thanks to WWE's resident Madison Square Gardener, John Coachman, as punishment for his attack of William Regal last week. Can Cena break through the barricade of rent-a-cops to make his presence known? Only one way to find out. It's a fitting setting for Raw as we're in the cheese capital of the United States and you can ask anyone…they don't get any cheesier than WWE!  This cheese is Rawwwwww!

Mr. McMahon is the first person up tonight. Alongside John Coachman, the boss struts his off-green suit to the squared circle. With countless fannies holding up signs claiming to be his child and asking for an allowance, Vinnie Mac begins his speech.

"A few weeks ago, I was embarrassed to find out I had, I had sired an illegitimate child. Then after that, a week after that…That can happen to anybody. Come one. It was just one night. One simple transgression. I was embarrassed to find out that I had an illegitimate child. The following week I found out my illegitimate child is a current WWO…try that again, a current… SHUT UP! My bastard child is a current WWE superstar. The following week I found that that superstar is male. My bastard son is here tonight. And I'm going to find out who my bastard son is. Obviously, the woman who gave birth to my bastard son could have done thing differently. She could have, for instance, she could have been professional and private about all this but, no, instead she brought it out in the open.…Embarrassing me by playing games by giving me clues like "Things are looking up." Tell me. What does that mean? Things are looking up?"
                      
- Vince McMahon

The crowd responds with a "you suck" chant, to which Vince replies "Coach does not suck." Pretty much the same joke he used last week on Linda when the crowd chanted "asshole." It was funny last week. Little less funny this week. I'd say we have one more week of it before it gets totally run into the ground, which means he'll do it for the next two months. Big Mac continues on and says that he can take solace in the fact that his McBastard isn't from Green Bay, though. The reason why is because Green Bay's favorite son, Ken Kennedy, has been suspended for "impersonating a McMahon." (JG Note: Is Vince saying that the McMahons order illegal drugs online?)

Then, in an act meant to illustrate his disgust…disgust for Kennedy, Big Mac takes out the current edition of WWE Magazine with Ken on the cover and orders Coach to tear it up.

Sadly, Coachman can't do it. I wasn't sure if he was playing along for the sake of his character or if he's just a big wuss…or if maybe the magazine is made from some sort of space age paper from rocket ships. Even Lawler laughs and says, "Those magazines are pretty good, J.R."

With all that paper ripping settled, Daddy Mac calls out for his bastard son to come to the ring…now!

On that command, The Great Khali steps out onto the ramp with "Bollywood" Tony Danza by his side. Vince seems thrilled at the thought that Khali could be the result of his one night stand with a telephone pole. The Great One holds the Smackdown title overhead, takes the microphone, and delivers one of his Ahmed Johnson-esque promos.

"Les beasta. Tinkay looking yup. Bistamam tombayak. Bermaa terra son. Hahyookay tomya protacta. Sire protacta. Beru. Ped. MIGMAN!"
                   
- Great Khali

I love this guy's promos. Even if he is speaking another language, I doubt people who speak it can even understand him. The best part of all this was that Vince smiled the whole time as if he knew what he was saying.

Tony steps in and interprets that Khali feels he might have some insight into all this. "Things are looking up" can only mean one man - The Great Khali. Apparently the Smackdown Champion was raised in the "jungles of Punjab" and never felt the love of a father. It's for this reason that he would be honored to have some Daddy Mac affection from Mr. McLovin'. He would be honored to be known as… The Great McMahon!

That's when some familiar music hits. Clang, clang, clang went the trolley. Ding, ding, ding went the bell.

Ding, ding, ding, ding…

Holy crap. It is A-Train. I didn't know they had signed…

Oh. It's JBL. My bad. The music sounds the same. It's always confusing until the mooing cows kick in.

John Bradshaw Layfield has arrived and he's taken issue with The Great McMahon's mumbling insanity. Come on, big man. Just because you're big doesn't make you the son. "Things looking up" can mean lots of stuff. Hell, it can mean the one thing that Vinnie and Bradshaw have in common…money! The mun-nay! Layfield tells Danza to "put Big Gulp on a leash" and then informs the chairman that his stock portfolio is the thing that's truly "looking up."

"You and I are self made millionaires. You, now a billionaire. Me, going to be!"
          
- JBL

Wow.  I wasn't aware that this promo was taking place in the year 2000.

Michael Cole's life partner goes on to tell the boss how they both have things in common. They're both "sexual tyrannosauruses" and go to the same barber. That barber is located in "the greatest city in the world - New York City." Because of their similar hair care providers and dinosaur like sexual ability, Bradshaw feels it's only appropriate that he turns out to be the McSon. He would go from being JBL to…JBM! John Bradshaw McMahon! Wonder how long before someone makes a "B.M." bowel movement joke?

This brings out Jeff Hardy. As Jeff walks up the aisle, Jim Ross says that JBL makes sense. He also calls him "JBM…or BM, whatever you want to call him."

Answer to the question at the end of the last paragraph: Six seconds.

The Intercontinental Champion takes the microphone and tells John Coachman that he's not sure why he came to the ring at all.

"I know my dad. I love my dad. But I've been getting these weird messages all week. People are saying when I hit the Swanton, when I jump off a 20 foot ladder, everyone in the building's looking up!"
                                            
- Jeff Hardy

Vince McMahon seems to give that statement some credence. Hell, burnout, Big Mac never thought about it before, but you look nothing like Matt. That means you might just be his son.

"I sure as hell hope not. Unlike these two cats, I'm just waiting for someone to tell me I'm not your son, man."
                                              
- Jeff Hardy

John Bowel McMahon tells the Hardy Boy to show Vinnie Mac some respect. Jeff then makes fun of his hair, which goes over like a lead balloon considering that Jeffy has the hair of a Middle School emo girl. JBL points out the irony of a hair joke from Hardy but then turns to Great Khali and says that he needs to hit a "Punjabi Supercuts." (Khali Note: Iah goat-toe SUPEROCUTAAAH!)

At this moment, the lawyer for the woman accusing Vince McMahon of impregnating her appears on the Titantron. Vince gives him a name finally and refers to him as "Mr. Johnson." (JG Note:  Mike?  Is that you?  That's some makeup job.) Mac then goes off on the lawyer and really lets him have it. Seems that Jerry McDevitt isn't just hated by Chris Kanyon. Big Mac hates him too.

"For the record, I hate you and I don't even know you. Obviously, I hate the woman who gave birth to this bastard son. I hate you simply because you're an attorney. I hate all attorneys. I hate my attorney. Now tell me! Who is my bastard son?!"
                  
- Vince McMahon

Mike tells Vince that he will find out his son's identity tonight…but not now. Nope. You have to wait until your son is good and ready. When Big Mac asks if his child is currently in the ring, Johnson replies that all he can say is that his son is not Jeff Hardy.

"Praise the Lord! Yeah!"
                      
- Jeff Hardy

Angered, VKM tells Jeffery that he's a fool. You want to celebrate, dummy? Fine. How about we put you in action tonight? Sound good? Great. Tonight, it's Jeff Hardy one on one with…The Great Khali! Ha. Take that, Rainbow Head. With that announcment, No Chance In Hell plays and we head to a commercial.

This was the best opening segment on Raw in ages. By not revealing when the McSon will let his identity be known, WWE did a great job of making every moment for the rest of the night seem important. The only drawback is that if Mr. Johnson's "client" has chosen to reveal his identity when he wants to, one can only assume that the "bastard" knows who he is. Since Khali and JBL don't know for sure, you have to guess it's neither one of them. Then again - whatever. That's a small issue and overall, the opening segment was great. Small logic holes be damned!

Commercial Break.

1. Paul London (with Briand Kendrick) pinned Lance Cade (with Trevor Murdoch) after a standing moonsault

J.R. informs fans that between this week and last, the World Tag Team Titles changed hands twice. Seems that Spanky and Paul London captured those belts from Cade and Murdoch during WWE's tour of South Africa this past week. Then they lost them. Way to go, fellas. Ross also informs fans that security is on hand this week to keep John Cena out of the building. He mentions that while John has been barred from the building for attacking William Regal, he also had just cause. After all, he loves his Daddy a ton. I guess this is the Poppa Love Themed Raw. While all this discussion is going on, Trevor ended up distracting the referee. While the official's back was turned, Brian Kendrick ran in and hit his "slicked bread #2" move, allowing Paul London to get the pin. Ding, ding, ding.

Backstage, Triple H is writing something on a piece of paper. Jus before we shoot to commercial, he finishes writing and puts the paper next to his new shirt. It says that you can buy it on WWE Shopzone. You know, just in case you were wondering. After all, I'm sure fans were confused as to where they could buy them. The Gap? Toys R Us? Victoria's Secret? Oh! WWE's website! Duh! Why didn't I think of that?

Commercial Break. The Rock is allergic thoo thiniminnon! Too bad he's isn't allergic to horrible scripts.

Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler talk about this year's upcoming "Unforgiven." It's the tenth annual event. How crazy is that? What a historic ten years its been. There was that epic match between…uh, the match with…um, I think…uh, Undertaker maybe? I don't know. Not saying that there hasn't been big things at Unforgiven. Just saying that these secondary events seem like non-issues to me. They all bleed into each other at this point. Unforgiven, No Way Out, Beach Brawl, Bound For Glory - they’re all "In Your House" to me.

Last week, John Cena assaulted William Regal. He was upset because Randy Orton attacked his father and "kicked his face off."

We shoot to a backstage camera and find a security force gathered around and chatting. They're here to keep John Cena out of the building. Gary Coleman shows up, but he has a security pass, so they let him in.

Word what?

Over in the leather couch room, John Coachman is thrilled with his actions. He tells Vince McMahon that he had extra security added to the show so that John Cena can't get into the arena. After all, he's not going to do that same thing to Coachman that he did to William Regal last week. No way, Jose. Mac uses that to segue over to his favorite subject…himself! No way that Vince is going to let that woman who says he fathered her child embarrass him tonight either. To this, The Coach smiles. Listen, boss. Johnny has a surprise for you. All week, WWE's Fan Nation has been voting for who they think your son is on WWE.com 24/7 Magazine and John Coachman has the #2 vote getter here tonight. Yup. He's outside. Vince doesn't know  who it is since he doesn't go to his own company website and seems interested in who the fans have chosen. Want to see who it is? Well, let's get him in here…

Steven Richards comes walking in and looks his possible poppa in the eye. Mac takes one glance at him and then laughs his butt off. He says "I knew our audience was off, but not that off." Through huge laughter, he pats Stevie on the chest and tells him to have his mom keep voting. (JG Note: Man. If ever Richards needed confirmation that he was screwed, this was it. Had this segment taken place live in the ring and I were Steve, I would have quit on the spot. I mean…yikes. No matter where you work, that would suck. If you worked at a pencil factory and the boss laughed in your face when you were looking for a promotion, you'd quit, right? Ouch.)

After Stevie leavies, Vince asks who the #1 choice was. After all, if Dancin' Stevie was #2, who was the first one?

"Sir…Triple H."
               
- John Coachman

After saying it, John made a face that looked like he was doing a Robert Deniro impression. I was waiting for the trumpeter to come out and play the "waaah-waaaaaaaaaa…." Daddy Mac did not look happy with that prospect.

Last Monday, Triple H beat Umaga to death with a sledgehammer…but he didn't get banned from the building. I guess William Regal is more lovable than Jamala.

Todd Grisham is backstage with Carlito Cool. Yo, Carly, how do you feel about facing Triple H at Unforgiven? You worried? Cool laughs at this idea. Being worried isn't cool. After all, Hunter ain't tough unless he's got his big ol' hammer in his hand. If he thinks he's a bad-ass, let's see how he handles himself tonight. What's on the K.o.K.'s agenda tonight, you ask? Well, John Coachman has given Coolio the chance to pick Helmsley's opponent. Yeah. It's going to be someone who has defeated him in his career. Not only that, but the match itself is moot. Trips better play close attention to the post-match activities because once the night is over, "Carlito will be Triple H's daddy."

Commercial Break.

Hey. Frenchie Davis you lost a ton of weight.

I'm Shelton Benjamin, moron.

2. Triple H pinned Shelton Benjamin after the Pedigree

This was a great match to book. With Charlie Haas vacationing off in Parts Unknown for about a month, it's time to refocus on Shelton's singles past. Sure, he has to look like Mini-Rodman while he does it, but c'est la vie. Plus, it's a good opportunity for WWE to call back an old feud that got him over to begin with. Maybe a few people will remember Benji's win over The King of Kings and it will elevate him in their minds. It better, because for the first few minutes of the contest, all they had were memories. H pounded Frenchie into the middle of next Tuesday and even took time to toss him into Carlito Cool, who was seated at ringside. Not sure why he was just sitting there. Usually when someone accompanies a wrestler to ringside, they either stand in the corner or sit in to do commentary. Carl didn't do commentary, but he took a seat anyway. Lazy. When Shelt finally got his wits about him, he took Hunter to town on more than a few moves. With Ross and Lawler continuously mentioning how Benjamin has beaten Sideburns McGameface on two occasions, you had to assume that this would be a victory for Sledgehammer Jones. Despite the somewhat predictable finish, Shelly still held his own and appeared to have the Game's number a few different times. In the end, he was outmatched by the H Man's power. Even with Captain Applesauce's interference, Shelton still fell to the Pedigree.

Following the bell, Carlito tried to run in with a chair shot. You're going to need more than that to take out The King of Queens. Hunter kicked his attacker and sent him scurrying from the ring like an afro-headed thief in the night. But that wasn't the end of things. Once Carly got to the top of the ramp, he was joined by John Coachman…and the Coach had something to say.

"Triple H! Triple H! If I were you, I'd get used to that feeling. Two weeks ago, you embarrassed Mr. McMahon on Carlito's Cabana. Last week, you sabotaged that beautiful gift of a video Mr. McMade… made for his daughter, Stephanie. That's why Mr. McMahon feels you need to get a taste of your own medicine. That's why your match with Carlito at Unforgiven has now been changed. It's now a no-disqualification match… for Carlito only. Which mean that Calito can use any item he want against you, but if you so much as look at a steel chair, a ring bell, or dare I say, sledgehammer, you automatically lose the match."
                                
- John Coachman

Can he look at a wooden chair? Patio chair? Wicker chair? Hmmm. Makes you wonder. Unfairness. That's cool.

Sill to come: The Chairman takes a son.

On his way to the ring is the Legend Killer Randy Orton. What does he have to say? Who's face will be kicked off? Stay tuned!

Commercial Break. TNA for WrestleMania!

Members of the Green Bay Packers are seated at ringside. They're also all apparently on crack.

Randy Orton walks slowly to the ring and faces the audience. It's the classic Orton promo that we've seen before. He's mad. He's intense. He's proud of what he's done.

"John Cena, you're probably at home watching right now. For all we know, you're with your father sitting on the couch and you're watching Raw right now. But the lights are dimmed down. T he volume's turned way down because your father's head is throbbing,. But I want you to heard what I'm saying next….This Sunday at Unforgiven will be the one year anniversary since you became WWE Champion. And you became WWE Champion by defeating the biggest, the baddest, and in some cases the best wrestlers this industry has ever seen and you became champ, John, because you had a clear head. You set a goal and you made that goal…back then, John, it wasn't personal. It's a bit different now, isn't it John? When I kicked you father in the face, I not only injured his head, but I got into your head , John."
                          
- Randy Orton

Randy says that this head kicking will cause The WWE Champion to make a mistake. It will be a mistake that he will capitalize on. It will be a mistake that he…

AHHHHH! IT'S JOHN CENA! WHAT THE FRIG!?

John sprint to the ring and goes to town on Orton. The two roll to the outside before The Legend Killer runs off. The crowd goes crazy, but you can't help but be confused over how he got in. I mean, here's a guy that was being held off by a swat team of orange shirt security guards. That was the point. They didn't show him sneak in. They didn't explain how it happened. It was just like - poof. There he is. Making things even weirder was that about ten of the guards were able to keep The Marine from running after his challenger as he escaped. If they can stop him from doing that, why couldn't they stop him from getting into the building? No matter. The Champ is here! Now, we need to throw him out.

At the same time, Vince McMahon is walking along backstage and he's not happy. As he walks through the hallway, he sees Johnny Boy being lead out by the terrible security team. The Champion stands face-to-face with the boss and talks to him "as a man." He says that he knows how Vince cared for his own father. Things turned emotional, which was good, as John told Mr. McMahon that he had to defend his father and his family. However, he nearly broke into tears, which wasn't so good. Yeah.  The genuine emotion was good, but I think that the cracked voice was a bit too much. Then again, what are the fans gonna do? Boo him? HA! Eff dat. Da Champ is here! And he's weepy! Word life!  Buy the tee shirt, people!

Commercial Break.

Still to come: The Great Khali vs. The Pretty Good Hardy

Lillian Garcia introduces Candice Michele who has a new remixed theme song. (JG Note: Umbrella…ella, ella…ay, ay, ay…) Jim Ross says she's "hotter than doughnut grease." Wow. He's like George Costanza. I bet he eats BBQ sandwiches during sex.

3. Mickie James pinned Jillian Hall after a roundhouse kick

This match was good for what it was. What was it? Not much really. The strange thing was that throughout the whole bout, Candice and the announcers talked about Beth Phoenix. It made the whole match seem pretty pointless. Even when they tried to focus on the action in the ring, Candy brought the subject back to Beth. It was all but a given that once the match came to a close, Phoenix would run in and beat everybody up. Everything came to a close when Mickie nailed Jillian with the roundhouse kick and got the pinfall.

Then Beth Phoenix ran in and beat everyone up. Ta-da.

Candice jumped in to attack Phoenix and ended up getting a Fisherman Suplex for her trouble. Chalk up another beatdown for the Glamazon. That's one tough woman. She's like a 2007 Chyna… only without, you know, the male genitalia.

Commercial Break.

Ciao, Verde Bay! It's Santino Marella! The Red Shoed Italian Hero is here once again and he's ready to deliver the line of the night for like the fourth week in a row.

"It's a very sad time for me and all of Italy as we lost the greatest tenor in the world, Luciano Pavarotti. He passed away. At least he passed away before he had to watch Stone Cold Steve Austin in The Condemned on DVD ."
                         
- Santino Marella

Wow. Ten years ago, Jeff Jarrett said something about how Austin 3:16 was a bastardization of John 3:16 and Steve threw a hissy fit because it might affect his merchandise. Now, Santino blatantly mocks his upcoming DVD release…and seems to have done it with WWE's full blessing. My how time's have changed. What? Updated. What? Moved on. What? New decade. WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?! EH-EH!

4. Sandman defeated Santino Marella via disqualification

This match was short and sweet. Santino did all he could do to hold off the ECW Original from breaking him in half, but opted to go the intentional DQ route. He grabbed Sandy's cane and proceeded to go off on him with it. The ref pulled Marella back and called for the bell. When he did, the irate Italian tried to break it over his leg…and hurt himself in the process. Sandman rolled back in the ring, obviously in pain, while the Santman rolled out of the ring, also obviously in pain. Some free advice to the man in red shoes - use mineral ice. Get it at the drug store. Pick it up yourself. No more deliveries. Capice?

Still to come: Matt's brother vs. El Gigante's nephew

 

 

 

 

Commercial Break. Gobble.

Backstage, Maria is standing by with Ron Simmons. The Damnman just finished watching the match with Santino's girlfriend. Now he has to listen to her whine. Seems that Miss Mary's relationship with Marella hasn't been the same since the Raw Dating Game a few weeks ago. She's thinking of maybe asking if they can see other people. Of course, she doesn't take into account that he'll probably beat the crap out of her for it, but she's not the brightest bulb in the - how you say? - drawer. Just as Ronnie is about to give her a one word answer that ends in "am," Santi comes barreling out of nowhere and knocks him silly. Simmons falls to the ground while the Miracle from Milan takes his lady friend by the hand and leads her away. Before he does, he stops, looks down at the fallen Acolyte, and exclaims, "Damn'a!"

The New WWE Diva Search is on the way. It will be a WWE.com exclusive. It only took them three years to figure out that this was the best idea. Better late than never, guys. People might be more apt to check it out online rather than having these contests wedged into their weekly WWE programs. On a side note, if you have a lonely wrestling fan friend in your life…you might not want to touch his computer mouse for the next few weeks.

5. The Great Khali defeated Jeff Hardy via Submission

This match played out as you'd expect. Jeff flipped around. Khali swatted him away. Hardy tried some top rope moves. The Great One kicked him in the face. That went on for a little while until the Smackdown Champion finally decided to wrap his hands around the Intercontinental Champion's head and, in the word of Andre The Giant, "squeeze…and squeeze…and squeeze" until the insides of his noggin flowed from his ears and the referee called for the bell. One last time, Jeffery. This is your brain. This is your brain on the ring mat. Any questions?

After the bell, Dave Batista's music rang out and the gigantic former Deacon came running down the aisle. He slid into the ring and Speared Great Khali straight to the mat. Shocked, the freshly victorious giant rolled from the ring and held his title high in the air. Back in the ring, Batista appeared to celebrate by having a seizure of some sort.

Up next: Mr. McMahon's son reveals himself. Hopefully that 5% of WWE's Fan Nation is wrong. If not, you better cover your eyes.

Commercial Break.

It's go time. This is the moment we've all been waiting for. Mr. McMahon comes to the ring…followed by, well, everyone.

When I say everyone, I mean everyone. Most of the roster from all three brands follows him up the ramp. From Jamie Noble to Big Daddy V, they're all there. It's time to find out who Vinnie Mac fathered on that night many, many years ago. Jim Ross says that Vince is like "the father of our country." I guess that means he has wooden teeth.

"One of these men! One of these men is privileged to be my bastard son! Who will claim the name of McMahon? We've waited long enough, so this attorney, Johnson…Jackson. Whatever your name is. Why one is my bastard son?"
               
- Vince McMahon

With that, VKM turns to the Titan Tron to find Johnson Jackson in all his glory. Once again, he chooses to play a game with the boss. Rather than tell him straight up who his kid is, we're going to play a little game of elimination. Ready? K. Cool.


1. Your illegitimate son is not extreme.

With that, all the ECW guys leave. As they do, so go many of the people that were being guessed at.

Mr. McMahon says: "Thank God it's not Balls Mahoney. Hey Tommy."



2. Your son has a fondness for gold.

At first I thought it was Black Reign Dustin Rhodes. Then I remembered that this show is taking place today and not a decade ago (JBL's billionaire comment notwithstanding). McMahon and Coachman figure out that this could only mean that the McBastard is a current or former titleholder. All the sucky guys leave.

Mr. McMahon says: "My son is a champion! Sorta liking this now….Hacksaw Jim Duggan is old enough to be my father. Look at this. Champions all!"



3. Your son's skin is fair.

McMahon smiles and say, "YOU MEAN MY SON IS CAUCASION?" He then regains his composure and rephrases his response with less racist glee. All the non-whites leave the ringside area.

Jim Ross says: "Al Sharpton just exhaled."

Now that all the black wrestlers are gone, Vince feels safe, I guess. Because he invited all the remaining wrestlers to join him in the ring.

Remaining guys: Kane, Val Venis, Chuck Palumbo, Sandman, Jamie Noble, Deuce, Domino, Cade, Murdoch, Triple H, JBL, Santino Marella, Kenny Dyskstra, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, and Randy Orton.

4. Your son's skin is fair…as is his hair.

All the dark haired guys are forced to leave. The crowd chants, "Kennedy."

Mr. McMahon says: "I told you before. Kennedy might be from Green Bay, but he's been suspended for impersonating a McMahon."

5. Individual.

No one has any idea what this means. Apparently Mike Jackson Johnson read the thing wrong. He meant that it was individual champion, rather than a tag team. Vince tried to verify this fact, but Johnson didn't respond right away.

Mr. McMahon says: "You're saying he has individual gold or tag team gold?  Which is it? Does my son have individual gold? Is that what you're telling me?…DAMNIT! TALK TO ME!"

The attorney springs back to life and says "yes." Vince dismisses Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade. As they leave, Trevor is so upset that he begins to strip all of his clothes off.

Remaining guys: Triple H, Sandman, JBL

6. One final clue - Your son loves to play the Game….

Oh no. Eyes bulging, JBL and Sandman leave the ring. "The Game" Triple H hangs his head and stands face-to-face with his flabbergasted father -in-law. Shocked and disgusted (or maybe turned on), McMahon is at a loss for words.


Mr. McMahon says: "If you're my son, then that means you…"

Triple H answers: "I don't like this any more than you do."

This isn't right. This can't be right…and Vinnie Mac agrees. He tells the robotic lawyer that this can't be the right outcome. However, we learn that Mr. Johnson wasn't done.


6. Your son indeed does love to play the game….whether that game be hide-and-seek, horseshoes, or as seen last week on Smackdown, marbles.

Mr. McMahon says: "Stop playing riddles. Who's my son?!"

Vince could have figured it out if watches Smackdown, but I guess he doesn't.  The Riddling Attorney with one name informs the chairman that things are certainly looking up….

"but not for you. For your son…

Hornswoggle."

Aw junk. I guess that means Finlay's the mother.

Triple H laughs his almost-incestuous Gamy ass off as the Little (and now real) Bastard runs out from under the ring and dances with excitement. Vince does not look pleased, but his new son does. Hornswoggle hops around, reaches for a high five, and eventually humps his daddy's leg before we fade to black.

All in all…Historic. Whether you liked it or not is another story, but it's still one for the record books.

Canadian Bulldog was talking about this today on the Insanity Forum. He brought up the fact that Hornswoggle could be the McBastard and then play the role of Vince's Mini-Me. It seemed very plausible, but my concern was that it was much ado about nothing. Why not just have Vinnie get his midget in a box as a gift? It would still give him the mini-me gimmick without losing a potentially good payoff and a chance to elevate a wrestler.

I mean, this is going to be funny in the dynamic that's created between Mr. McMahon and Mr. McMidget, but it's also going to be just another add-on to Vince's character. Someone like Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, or even John Cena would benefited greatly from the chance to be in the family. It would have been a good way to give Raw a shot in the arm and mess with some of the characters for future feuds.

I thought Cena would have been a great concept. Had John turned out to be VKM's son, they could have done angles where his "dad" tried to give him special treatment only to be rejected. There could have been the torn emotions over his "real" dad being the boss while the man who raised him sat in a hospital. Randy Orton could have targeted Vinnie Mac for a face kicking. It would have been deep. It would have been thought-provoking. It would have created interest and added even more depth to a WWE Champion that's already receiving mixed reactions.

Then again, it wouldn't have been a funny little midget doing the Vince McMahon strut.

So, it all depends on what you're looking for. I'm sure that many people who lost their proverbial minds with joy when the Leprechaun ran out did so only because they were so friggin' happy it wasn't Triple H. Once the boss started to allude to Hunter's relationship to Stephanie, my mind went in a million different directions. I was ready to throw up. I thought this could be the incest angle that McLovin' had wanted all along.

Then it was the Leprechaun and we all were relieved.

Hopefully, that joy will remain once the "Oh Thank God It's Not Hunter" wears off. That being said, WWE probably already has the thing planned out. I'm sure we'll see Hornswoggle biting Shane's ass. I'm positive we'll see him standing behind Vince and mimicking his actions. These things go with the territory. I just hope it doesn't get old too quick. Once the humor dies out, they won't have much left. At least with a genuine performer, they'll always have the gimmick there for future matches. With a one-joke sight gag from a ten year old movie, it's a big gamble to take.

Then again, there's also the thought process that Vince and company probably wouldn't want the gimmick on a full sized wrestler. Can you imagine giving the gimmick to someone like Jeff Hardy only to see him leave for TNA in a year? That would be terrible. They'd spell it "McMann" and talk about his dad "up North." I'm sure that was issue was batted around a few times before choosing to go with the Little Bastard.

Tonight's show was all about the reveal. Everything else was incidental. The John Cena-Randy Orton feud played out but wasn't imaginative. I mean, they had a million security guards to keep John out…and then never explained how he got in. Considering that ten of them were able to hold him back from chasing Orton up the ramp, I have to wonder how he penetrated their fortress around the building. That didn't matter though. It wasn't supposed to be thought about too hard. You were just supposed to watch and kill time until Mike Johnson Jackson did the big paternity naming.

Tonight's Raw was pretty good. I genuinely enjoyed the opening segment, but then things slowed down for a bit. Luckily, it ended on a somewhat high-note. You might see it as a disappointment, but you still saw it and will remember it. That's the important part.

That does it for me, you little bastards. See you during the week. Be well and thanks for sharing the Insanity.
