So I Got to Thinking...

So now that I've had time to process the fact that the ending to the September 10 edition of Raw was just about the last thing I wanted to see, I have been able to find an OFFICIAL transcript of the meeting Vince and Stephanie had with the creative team. Triple H (Paul) was in on the meeting, trying to raise morale.

Stephanie: As you know Ken had to be released due to the "s" word scandal.

Vince: Don't say it! Please don't say it! He was suspended for impersonating a McMahon, and that's the truth!

Stephanie: We need to find a new person to be the bastard child in order to create a diversion until Ken comes back.

Paul: And you'll be blaming me for the DNA mix up...

Stephanie: Of course. Now let's remember this bastard child has to be a believeable McMahon. We have to be able to buy it...

There is uncontrolled laughter by Mr. Levesque.

Stephanie: Umm... honey, what's so funny?

Paul: Oh, you keep saying bastard and I keep having visions of that little Dylan Postl kid running around like a leprachaun.

Stephanie: Who?

Paul: Hornswoggle, you know "Lil Bastard". It seemed funny... anyway... about the bastard kid...

Vince: I LOVE IT!

Paul: I was only joking really...

Vince: We have to have Hornswoggle be the bastard kid. Yes, Hornswoggle is the kid. It's a good idea. Yeah, it's a good idea. Thanks Son, you're the best.

Mr. McMahon turned walking out of the room with an audible chant.

Vince: It's all about the Mon-Ay! It's all about the Mon-Ay.

Mrs. Levesque looked at Mr. Levesque.

Stephanie: Why do you talk?

Paul: God, I don't know...

Is the fact that his name was "Little Bastard" a coincidence. Probably. But it still doesn't change the fact that Paul Levesque married into a family of idiots.
