Vince McMahon has given his approval for a storyline involving incest. The angle would involve Ohio Valley Wrestling wrestlers Katie Lea and Paul Burchill. The angle would likely take place on either ECW or Raw, because there is some concern that it would get the wrong kind of heat if it were to take place on SmackDown -- which is on network television.
McMahon has wanted to do an incest angle for years. He once suggested that he be the father of his daughter Stephanie's baby. As revealed on the McMahon DVD, Stephanie turned down the angle. According to her, Vince was to reveal himself as the father of her baby; when she said no, he pushed for Shane to be the father, but he turned that idea down as well.
The incest idea was first batted around in 1999 where Ken Shamrock and Ryan Shamrock (his storyline sister) would end up as lovers. Ken nixed the idea and that was the beginning of the end of his push at the time. There is some irony in the angle as Ken and Ryan ended up as a real-life couple at around the same time frame. Later that year in May 1999, Headbanger Mosh was renamed "Beaver Cleavage," a reference to the TV series Leave It to Beaver. He appeared in black-and-white vignettes with his "mother," fitness model Marianna Komlos portraying "Mrs. Cleavage." The two would exchange sexual innuendos (e.g. Mrs. Cleavage would offer Beaver some of "Mother's milk" when he complained that his cereal was dry). After one in-ring appearance, the gimmick was scrapped. A few weeks later, they did a backstage segment where Mosh said that his real name was Chaz. He ridiculed the Beaver Cleavage gimmick and identified "Mrs. Cleavage" as his girlfriend, Marianna Komlos, in a "shoot-style" interview.
and you thought the storylines in WWE couldn't get any worse...
So Cena wins the Rumble. WHY???
I feel that they missed an opportunity with Cena. Cena was getting booed worse than ANY heel on the roster when he got hurt. WWE had a chance to leave Cena at home and off TV for several months. This would have dulled the hatred for him, if only a little. Instead, they have constantly crammed his ugly mug all over their programs since his injury. They even releasd a DVD. Stupid. Now everyone who hated him a few months ago still hate him just as much.
I used to HATE Hogan. (Other than his NWO run.) He was out of the business for a while and not all over TV. Then when he returned, I loved it as much as everyone else.
If Cena had been ignored on TV during his injury, his return would be greeted with a little more enthusiam.
But what do I know, I've only been watching wrestling for over 20 years!
