Ok, I don't know about anyone else, but I found the outcome to the 'bastard son' storyline to be completely disappointing. Hornswoggle!?!?!?!?!? Where does that go from here? The WWE can't stick Hornswoggle in a feud with someone like Kennedy, Triple H, or even Shane McMahon. He is completely useless, and the fact that he was chosen to play this part is almost saddening. Has WWE sunk so low that they must place 2' midgets into
big-name storylines?
When this storyline was first in the developing stages, I thought that WWE could really go somewhere with this one. I knew in my heart that the company had a chance to bring back some credibility to the whole business of professional wrestling. Then, they hype up the storyline more and more via commercials, and the official WWE website. I just KNEW this would be a big named guy, thinking someone like Shawn Michaels, Kane, or even a returning Y2J!
To turn on the television and wait for two hours, only to have the 'bastard' be revealed as Hornswoggle crushed me. WWE let me, and its other millions of fans down in my opinion. The one and possibly only shot at an awesome storyline has been shot. The only thing this storyline could possibly add to the roster, and to the fans weekly viewing, would be the comedy. Laughs and jokes only get you so far, though. Fans need a good, solid storyline to fall back on, a serious match or two to view, not a midget in a green outfit running around humping Vince's leg for the next three months!
Maybe I am wrong, and gosh I hope I am. Maybe the WWE Creative Team CAN actually take this storyline somewhere, though I don't see where it could go that would do anything productive. Anyway, I hold onto some faint hope that the WWE knows what they are doing. Maybe you guys have some ideas for the storylines next step, so I want to hear them. You can agree with or dispute the fact that Hornswoggle is the Chairmans' son if you want to, and I encourage it!
Have fun, and please, no rule-breaking.
