10 WWE Announcements That Fell Flat

10. Kurt Angle's Son

So let's start with the elephant in the room.

Second only to a weird love affair with Dixie Carter, a long lost illegitimate son was one of the leading theories on Kurt Angle's covert backstage phone calls.

Its proponents, then, must have been delighted when the Olympian announced on Raw this week that, sure enough, he had fathered fellow professional wrestler Jason Jordan some 28 years ago.

If they were, they were pretty quiet about it. Angle's revelation was greeted with such a muted response from the crowd that those tuning into WWE for the first time could be forgiven for thinking that the Raw General Manager lays claim to estranged offspring every week. Perhaps it was merely the disappointment of realising that the writers had gone for something relatively safe (and, for those who were watching in 2007, a little passé too).

Was this really the secret that was going to destroy his career?
