8. Vince McMahon And Hornswoggle
Ahh, the illegitimate son angle... Yeah, do you remember when WWE tried to tell you that Hornswoggle was Vince McMahon's son? The original plan was to have Mr. Kennedy revealed as Vince's heir which would have led to the current TNA star receiving one hell of a main event push. However, the bleached blonde bombshell failed a drugs test not too long before the angle was due to start on television so was quickly removed from the picture altogether. WWE decided to hint that McMahon's son could have been Triple H - despite everyone knowing that Hunter was legitimately married to Vince's daughter, Stephanie - before Hornswoggle was eventually revealed as Vinnie's baby boy. The entire angle, as you would expect, took a baffling comedic turn, including such hilarity like the little man biting Vince's backside instead of joining the kiss-my-ass club. Finlay was quickly shoehorned in as Hornswoggle's "real" father and whole notion of Vince having an illegitimate son was never mentioned again. You don't need me to tell you that Dylan Mark Postl - the man in the green blazer - is not a McMahon in real life.
