Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 WWE.com confirmed the rumour that SummerSlam would be a ladder match. I think Scott Keith just exploded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Well it's a really bizarre and tasteless angle because it involves something that in real life would be a very serious situation. I mean it's not like Nash and Goldberg feuding over Scott Hall's contract, something that could be handled within the company. Feuding over custody of a guy's son is something that in no way could ever be settled by having a wrestling match. I mean what, is Eddie winning a match supposed to somehow impress this Mrs. Crabtree into letting him have custody of Dominick? "Oh gee Dominick, your biological dad isn't as much of a jobber as I had anticipated...you can go live with him now." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 ...with custody papers hanging from the ceiling too. You have got to be shitting me. I cannot see how ANYONE could consider that a good idea. I mean, Jesus fuck, you go from something played as serious as it comes (child custody), to determining who gets the kid based upon who gets to the custody papers before the other? I want the WWE writers drug out into the street and shot. Not in the head, like men, but in the gut. Let them suffer a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 People are supposed to take an storyline serious when one of the main players is wearing a lucha mask? Seriously, how do you not laugh when you see Rey acting all serious while he's wearing a damn mask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 The thing is, I think I'd laugh harder if he didn't have his mask on. It would look like a 13 year old kid trying to get custody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 That's true. It might be funny if Eddie would show Rey how a son of Rey would look and than show a baby with a lucha mask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Has hell frozen over? Vince Russo has to be back on the payroll for a match like this to happen. I'm guessing WWE will try and salvage some credibility by having Dominic help the eventual winner, thus he would be with the "father" he wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 I think it's a mistake to have a ladder match....clearly one, if not both of these guys are being built into the ME scene (Mysterio as a top face title contender down the road if he wins, Guerrero as a heel threat to Batista if he wins)...why risk the injury when these guys can put on classic matches WITHOUT these kind of garbage match stips?

Silence 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 At least we'll get a killer ladder match out of it, right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Even though Rey still flies around like always, I wouldn't expect too many high spots from him off the ladder due to his weak knees. It's probably better that way, though, due to the risk of injury involved in a ladder match, and it's not even necessary for Eddie and Rey to have a ladder match when they do better without gimmick matches. It's too bad that Rey is apparently not only booking this crappy angle, but apparently his matches with Eddie too, because Eddie STILL hasn't beaten Rey Mysterio yet.

Promoter 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 "Emotional distress"? Maybe he should have told his dad how to come up with a better storyline and he wouldn't have this problem. This is more ridiculous than Austin's stupid sheriff idea to creative. It's right up there with Hogan's yappapapapapapi strap match Dominic chill out. Eddie is cooler than Rey. I mean he's ashamed of his own face in public with that mask What I didn't like was that idiot hosting Experience calling Eddie a drug addict. Where the hell did that come from? 18 writers on staff and this is what they come up with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claydude14 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Eddie has been a drug addict in his past; they brought it up a lot when he won the WWE title mentioning all the obstacles he'd overcame to achieve it. I think Rey brought up in a promo too telling Eddie he was a good person and didn't need to reveal the secret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promoter 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 That's the thing. IN THE PAST. That guy(can't remember his damn name for the life of me right now) said he was a drug addict as if its in the present. I don't know I just found it irrelevant to the current story. The whole ironic thing in all of this is that Eddie is actually being the good guy here coming out with the "truth". This is just a stupid storyline. If Eddie was lying than Rey wouldn't respond the way he has. Why shouldn't Dominic know his real father? It would have to come out sometime. The whole thing is just dumb and now they added this silly stipulation. I honestly can't see how Rey thought this thing out. Now he wants to fight Eddie for the right to have Dominic call him dad? He's looking like a punk-ass imo and not to mention how this makes his wife look. Just retarded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just retarded. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its being portrayed as Eddie didnt care about the kid when he was born, so he gave him up to Rey. Now hes asking for him back, only to screw with Rey cuz hes mad that he cant beat him. eddie himself also called it "his new addiction" in a promo (that addiction being torturing rey and his family) however fighting over custody in a wrestling match is way too far fetched. even the horrible actress who played the custody observer said it best "you people a e a bunch of crazies" and why would rey trust eddie to step aside if he beat him? he already went back on his word after the GAB. as for why he has his mask on, well duh, if he took it off you could see how much Dominick looks like Rey. another funny thing was seeing rey next to his wife, who looked like Andre The Ginat in comparison.

Promoter 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 The mask thing I was just goofing on. I think the mask is needed to help him differentiate from everybody else. We all know what happens with cruisers and Rey would just follow that path without his mask. I didn't take it as Eddie giving up Dominic because he didn't care. It seems as though Eddie didn't come out with the "secret" because they agreed it was best for all parties to go along with the "lie" to prevent any problems for the participants. Again, it's stupid. Rey is still looking like a punk-ass who his wife cheated on with his best friend and got played by both persons and is rearing the love child. I agree the wwe could have found a better actress for that role. Better yet, just cut that whole stupid segment out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Promoter 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Oh, okay. Seriously, that reads a lot better than how its come off. They've done a horrible job explaining this imo. All we need now is for the mother to show up during the match and kidnap Dominic and go to Mexico with the Mexicools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
