Details on Mr McMahon’s Child; WWE Creative

News

According to the Wrestling Observer, when the storyline about Mr McMahon’s illegitimate child was proposed the plan was for Ken Kennedy to be revealed as the long-lost son. In fact, the idea stems back to the ‘death’ of Mr McMahon. One version of events would have seen Shane and Stephanie shocked to find out that their father had left his entire estate to Kennedy, which would have tied into Kennedy having been revealed as the ‘murderer’, only for Vince to return later and reveal the two were in cahoots all along. Obviously things have changed a great deal in recent weeks, so WWE may well be taking things in a different direction after all. Still, this has been vaguely in the works ever since Dave Lagana pitched the idea in 2006. He wanted to get Vince onto Smackdown whilst giving Kennedy a huge boost, only for King Booker to be made into the brand’s top heel as Kennedy’s major push was postponed.

Meltzer also has some information on the WWE’s inner-circle in his latest issue, which includes Bruce Prichard, Kevin Dunn, Michael Hayes, Pat Patterson, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. Prichard is said to be the definition of a ‘yes man’, since he was fired a few years back for disagreeing with Vince and never wants it to happen again. Dunn covers the TV production and never opposes any of Vince’s ideas either. Triple H is said to be concerned mainly with his own storylines, only opposing bad ideas if they involve him, the Raw main event scene or something that Stephanie wants to do. Patterson is not involved much at all nowadays. None of them have had a day off in a long while and, according to Meltzer, are “doing a tap dance” for whatever Vince wants to happen, such as bashing the government during Raw.
