Twice Bitten
AUSTIN, Texas -- Things didn't exactly go the way Mr. McMahon had planned. The Chairman arranged a No Disqualification Match between him and Hornswoggle, hoping to teach his bastard son a lesson in tough love. But it was Mr. McMahon who was taught a lesson … in humility.
Moments after the bell rang, the Chairman heaved his reluctant son to the mat and berated him around the ring. But that was before the arrival of Hornswoggle's protector, Finlay, who flat-out ignored Mr. McMahon's threats of termination were he to interfere.
Instead, the man who loves to fight ignored the possibility of losing his job -- a WWE opportunity he had spent years trying to earn -- and not being able to provide for his family. He chose to honor his friendship with Hornswoggle at all costs and stung Mr. McMahon with a crack of his shillelagh. As the Chairman lie writhing in pain, Hornswoggle landed a Tadpole Splash for the win.
Mr. McMahon, however, would not suffer in silence. While being attended to by medical personnel, the dazed Chairman refused to fire Finlay, and instead he arranged a Steel Cage Match with Hornswoggle next week. Photos | Video

Kneed Help

Love Hurts
