Vince's Son

[JohnCenaFan28]

What do you all think 'Things are looking up' means and who it is meant for? I think it's possibly Elijah Burke, he as a '4-Up' sign thingy on him. Thoughts?

[lɐuǝɯo⊥ǝɥԀ]

That could make sense with the 4-UP thing as it does fit with the Things are looking up and I will definitely tune in next week to find out as the possible "child" is now been blown open

So Many Meanings

The clue that was given at the end of Monday Night Raw in regards to identity of the illegitimate son was hard to figure out. That was the intended purpose of the clue.

It's a great marketing ploy that should cause ratings to skyrocket next Monday nights.

There's no less than a dozen wrestlers who the term can be applied to.

Mr Kennedy

Word broke out on the internet a while back that Mr Kennedy was indeed the illegitimate son.

The WWE claims that they don't pay attention to the internet, but we all know they do. They know that word broke out. They also know that in order to keep this storyline interesting is to throw out some swerve.

There's going to be a handful of fans who will accept it as fact that Mr Kennedy isn't the mystery son simply because they hear a representative on TV saying it.

Those fans are probably new to the world of wrestling because swerves have always been a part of the game.

Possibilities

The term "things are looking up" could be used to describe a variety of things. It could be the way a wrestler does his entrance or taunt. It could be used to described a wrestler who is tall. The phrase can also be used to describe a wrestler who is moving his way up the ladder.

Entrance

Several wrestlers have entrances and taunts that have them looking up.

Mr Kennedy looks up towards the ceiling as the microphone is lowered to him. Shawn Michaels looks up towards the sky as the fireworks go off behind him. Rey Mysterio gets launched into the air during his entrance.

Sabu is another person that looks to the sky when he taunts, but his return would be one of the biggest swerves ever in pro wrestling.

Height

With the Great Khali, everyone in the WWE has to look up to stare him in the face because he's just so tall. Even guys like the Undertaker, Kane, and Batista have to look up to see him.

Another tall wrestler who is a free agent is the Big Show. It's a bit doubtful right now that he would return because he's still a bit upset with the WWE in regards to his pay from merchandise sales.

Then again, in wrestling, you never say never. Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan have butted heads for years over money, but they eventually find a way to kiss and make up.

Closing Thoughts

Regardless of who the mystery son turns out to be, the writers have done their job and create a storyline that has increased interest in the product.

"It's Val Venis, he used to quote "things are looking up" whenever they showed him around women, because he is an ex-porn star.

Remember it is a superstar that was ring side when they first made the annoncement! If the person you have listed was not standing at the ring than it is not them. I'm telling you it's Val Venis, like someone said, "Just like Vince" an entertainer, foritude etc. It's Val Venis!!!"

"Dude... "Things Are Looking Up" from the musical "Crazy for You."

Crazy = Psycho

Looking Up = 7 Footer

Psycho Sid is coming back."

"The mystery son is still Mr Kennedy. They're just trying to trick people into thinking that it's someone else.

CM Punk would be an interesting choice, though, because they can go so many ways with the storyline because of the Straight Edge gimmick."

"Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

"Things are looking up" would hint towards the illegitimate son being tall, so it might be Khali. I hope not. For a second, I thought it might be a returning superstar (like Jericho, for example) but now I remember that night when Stephanie told Vince his illegitimate child was a WWE Superstar, she also mentioned that his child was standing around the ring at that very moment. Returning stars (like Jericho, and also Triple H and Shawn Michaels) were not around the ring so it wouldn't make sense if one of them turned out to be Vince's son. This sudden twist has got me really stumped. I can't figure it out. I was so convinced it was Kennedy, so now it's like, who else could it possibly be? "

I almost bet no matter who the son is it will be another waste of our time and all of it just for ratings.

My first instinct was that it was going to be Khali, but I don't see it being that simple. I'm sure it'll be someone on RAW anyways since that is their #1 show, but at this point if it isn't Kennedy than I have no clue who it'll be.

HBK b/c hes religious

[Garden State Saint]

They're bringing the Big Show back! This would then mean Shane, Vince's son, once had his face in his father's ass and the Big Show, Vince's illegitimate son, once had his father's face in his ass!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just found something could help us determine what the hint is...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027090/

Anyways there's a movie called "Things are Looking Up" with characters called, The Chairman, Mr Money, and Mr Money's Son.

Coincidence?

Mr. Money? Could it be a former MITB winner? So with that said either Kennedy or Edge

Well they already said that it wasnt Kennedy on RAW and wasnt Edge on the list of wrestlers that just got busted and suspended? So how about another guess?

[J-man]

Just because they said it wouldn't be kennedy doesn't mean it wont be. They are most likely trying to swerve in a different direction

[sol20051]

Don't be shocked if it's Carlito, or even Hornswoggle...I have a bad feeling this storyline will go into bs mode
