10 Wrestlers Who Were Hilariously Upstaged By Other Wrestlers

8. Triple H And JBL Get Upstaged By The Sandman

Ah, the Vince McMahon illegitimate son storyline. What could have been.

The long-standing rumour is that the angle which involved The Chairman being blown up in a limo was meant to result in the unveiling of a secret son and a battle for control of the company.

Unfortunately, the real-life murders committed by Chris Benoit shortly afterwards painted the entire storyline in very poor taste.

Later that year, WWE decided to run the gimmick again, and it was announced that Vince's baby boy was actually a member of his own roster. This led to a segment on Raw where McMahon was fed a series of clues about his new kid, which would eliminate suspects Guess Who? style.

After determining that his son was fair-haired, fair-skinned, and a former singles champion, that left McMahon just three options - Triple H, JBL, and... The Sandman? Really?

Everyone was confused by the former ECW man still being in the running. He didn't even need to do anything - his mere presence was enough to completely distract from everything else that was going on.

Of course, it turned out the real "winner" was actually Hornswoggle, but just imagine if we'd have ended up with The Sand-McMahon.
