JBL reveals Irish lies

McMahon: In a state of shock

Finlay's Irish eyes aren't smiling. They are as guilty as hell and the next time Finlay's in a WWE ring - your ring - I'm going to make him admit it.

Quotes of the week

John Bradshaw Layfield has thrown the McMahon family into turmoil with his allegations that Hornswoggle is actually the son of the fighting Irishman, Finlay.

The little leprechaun and his buddy have never been far apart since joining the WWE, while the chairman has slowly come to terms with the idea that Hornswoggle is his illegitimate spawn.

But when Mr McMahon confronted JBL on Raw about the beating he had handed out to Hornswoggle in a steel cage match, the self-made millionaire made some stunning claims.

"I'm sorry," JBL responded when asked for an apology. "I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner!

"I have it on very good advice that Hornswoggle is not your son.

"Hornswoggle is Finlay's son. Hornswoggle had no idea but Finlay knew the whole time.

"Finlay's Irish eyes aren't smiling. They are as guilty as hell and the next time Finlay's in a WWE ring - your ring - I'm going to make him admit it."

WrestleMania

Elsewhere on Raw, Y2J Chris Jericho won his way into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania XXIV with victory over Jeff Hardy.

Intercontinental champion Hardy had already qualified for the match, which will see the pair go head-to-head again in what is sure to be a high-flying all-action thriller.

HBK Shawn Michaels could be the man to end Ric Flair's career meanwhile, after agreeing to meet the Nature Boy at the big one in Orlando, Florida.

And general manager William Regal will send Umaga to WrestleMania as Raw's representative in a match for brand superiority against a Smackdown opponent.

Triple H and John Cena also warmed up for their Triple Threat Match with Randy Orton at WrestleMania by beating the WWE champion and Mr Kennedy in a tag team brawl.

Cena took the victory with an STFU on the Green Bay gladiator, but Kennedy got his revenge with a Mic Check and there are sure to be plenty more cheapshots and dirty tactics on the road to WrestleMania on March 30.
