Raw Recap 09.10.07

Raw recap from Green Bay, WI:

Raw opened with Mr. McMahon strutting down to the ring with Coach. Vince received a chorus of boos as he began speaking about his illegitimate child situation. Vince discussed how he knows his bastard son is here tonight, because it's a male WWE superstar. Vince said the woman who brought this suit had to be less professional by bringing this all out in public. Vince asked what "things are looking up" means. Vince said he can take comfort in the thought his son is not from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Vince held up WWE magazine with Mr. Kennedy on the cover, and then told Coach to rip the magazine up. Vince said Kennedy should be suspended for impersonating a McMahon. Vince said he wants to know who his bastard son is right now. Just then, Great Khali's music came on, and Khali walked down to the ring with his manager.

Khali grabbed a mic from his manager and began speaking in his language to Vince. Khali's manager then spoke saying "things are looking up" could only refer to one man, The Great Khali. Just then, JBL's music came on and JBL came down the ramp to the ring with a microphone. JBL said things are looking up refers to money, not the giant Khali. JBL said with his investment portfolio "things are looking up". JBL said he and Vince are self-made millionaires and it would be his honor to change his name to "JBM", John Bradshaw McMahon.

Just then, Jeff Hardy came down the ramp to the ring. Jeff said he knows his dad but he's been hearing that everyone is always looking up when he's doing moves off the ropes. Vince asked Jeff if maybe he is his son Jeff said he hopes not. Just then the attorney for the woman suing Vince McMahon, Mr. Johnson, appeared on the Titantron. Mr. Johnson said the identity of Vince's son will be revealed tonight, when his client is ready. Mr. Johnson informed Vince that Jeff Hardy is not his son. Jeff began celebrating and Mr. McMahon said he didn't give a damn about Jeff anymore so he can face Great Khali in a match tonight.

Mr. McMahon's Son Revealed

Vince McMahon and Coach came walking down to the ring with all of the superstars from Raw, Smackdown and ECW following behind. Vince directed all of the wrestlers to stand around the ring. Triple H came down the ramp last with Jim Ross reminding fans that HHH was the #1 vote getter on WWE.com. Vince took a mic and said one of these men is privileged to be his bastard son. Vince then asked the attorney to say which of the wrestlers was his son.

Mr. Johnson appeared saying he has a series of messages from his client about who Vince's son is not. Mr. Johnson said first Mr. McMahon's son is not anyone who is extreme. Vince then kicked all of the ECW wrestlers out and told them to go backstage. Next Mr. Johnson said Vince's son has a "fondness for gold". Vince ordered anyone who isn't a current or former champ in the WWE to leave. Next, Mr. Johnson informed Vince that his son is of "fair skin". Vince told MVP, Mark Henry and Shelton Benjamin to leave. Mr. Johnson said next "your son's skin is fair as is his hair". Vince told anyone with blonde hair to stay. The crowd started to chant "Kennedy", but Vince yelled that he had been suspended for "impersonating a McMahon".

Left in the ring were Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, JBL, Sandman and Triple H. Mr. Johnson's next clue was that Vince's son has "individual gold and is not part of a tag team".

JBL and Sandman left the ring and went backstage. Vince came eye to eye with HHH as the crowd chanted for the Game.

HHH told Vince he didn't like this anymore than Vince did. Vince said "this is not right". Mr. Johnson told Vince McMahon his son likes to play the game whether its horseshoes or marbles last week on Smackdown. Vince yelled and demanded the lawyer announce the name of his son.
