Professional wrestling thread

HBK maybe? It's certainly been awhile since he's been gone.

 

Funaki's on the steroid list. Undertaker is probably too old, unless Vince did the deed in his mid-teens, plus that fucks around with his parental history, which they've actually tried to pay attention to. Jericho can't be it if they pay attention to the storyline, because he wasn't around the ring when it was announced that his kid was at ringside.

Possible copout substitution: Orton.

 

I know!

KANE!

 

HHH and HBK weren't around the ring, either. Come to think of it, neither was Cena, though it could make a Cena heel turn.

He is the champion (looking up).

 

If it wasn't for the "He was around the ring" argument, it could be anyone, even say, Paul Heyman.

For that matter, they may conveniently forget that "around the ring" line anyway.

Hell, they might not have even decided yet.

 

That wouldn't shock me at all. They were going to make Kennedy the son, but they pulled that (or they always intended to swerve people into thinking it was him). I'm still holding out hope for Big Daddy V.

 

Does Katie Vick have a twin brother? Oh, wait, that would be things are looking horizontal.

 

Believe me, Claws, that thought crossed my mind, too.

If it wasn't for the "he's around the ring" line (providing they conveniently drop that part of the angle), here's my odds:

1. The Great Khali
2. John Cena
3. The Undertaker
4. Kane
5. God (Hey, stranger thing have happened)
6. HBK
7. Chris Benoit (Even McMahon can't get THIS tasteless, can he!?)
8. Eddy Guerrero (Hey, Vickie is still on the "roster")
9. Some new guy they are planning to introduce (thrown together at the last minute)
10. Scott Steiner (Back from TNA)
11. Kevin Nash (Back from TNA)
12. Scott Hall (Because they're so desperate to plug someone in that they'd try anyone).

 

In response to #5 -- Didn't the "Higher Power" turn out to be Vince himself years ago when he did that?

#9 -- Is Hogan about to return? Big Show?

 

Good points on both, though I think Hogan and McMahon may be finished for real this time.

Big Show moves up to No. 1 on my odds.

 

Try HHH as the illegitmate child. Then you could make a case for VKM building a new gimmick around the marriage of Stephanie and HHH.

 

I have to think it's going to be Big Show. He makes the most sense with the "things are looking up" line. Though it would have to piss all over the "he's around the ring" line.
