Downhome 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2006 Holy shit. Guys, go back to whatever thread it was that I posted everything that they've done to Rey Mysterio this year, that makes him look like a complete douche. Then, once you've read it, add to the end of it the fact that they had him tap out perfectly cleanly to the champ and THEN had Randy Orton kick his ass.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2006 What the hell, I'll go ahead and post it here also: Just for fun, here is a list of everything Mysterio has done this year. I'll put in bold everything that made him look like a twat, as well as the times that he lost a match: January 6, 2006 - Smackdown!: MNM (Mercury & Nitro) defeated Batista & Rey Mysterio in a Cage to retain the Tag Team titles! January 13, 2006 - Smackdown!: Rey Mysterio participated in a 20-Man Battle Royal for the World title (won by Kurt Angle).. January 20, 2006 - Smackdown!: #1 CONTENDERS MATCH: Mark Henry w/Melina Perez vs Rey Mysterio.. Mark Henry pinned Rey Mysterio to secure a World title shot at Royal Rumble (Angle has his work cut out!) January 21, 2006--WWE Live Event: Rey Mysterio participated in a special "Tribute to Eddie Guerrero" show in Monterrey, Mexico.. January 27, 2006 - Smackdown!: Mark Henry w/Daivari defeated Rey Mysterio in a rematch.. ~~~Rey Mysterio also dedicated his predicted 'victory' in the Royal Rumble to the memory of Eddie Guerrero.. January 29, 2006 - Royal Rumble: Rey Mysterio entered at #2 and miraculously won the Royal Rumble match!!!! February 3, 2006 - SD!: Randy Orton made tasteless comments about Eddie Guerrero and challenged Rey to put up his title shot.. ~~~MAIN EVENT: Mark Henry & Randy Orton beat Rey Mysterio & Kurt Angle (Rey accepted Orton's challenge for No Way Out.. February 10, 2006 - Smackdown!: Randy Orton spoke negatively of Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio attacked Orton again! February 17, 2006 - Smackdown!: Rey Mysterio beat Sylvan (Randy Orton cut a promo saying Rey will never main event a WM).. February 19, 2006 - No Way Out: Randy Orton defeated Rey Mysterio to win Rey's title shot at WrestleMania 22.. February 24, 2006 - Smackdown!: GM Long decided to add Rey Mysterio to the WWE title match at WM22 making it a 3-WAY! ~~~MAIN EVENT: Chris Benoit & Rey Mysterio & Bobby Lashley defeated Randy Orton & John Bradshaw Layfield & Fit Finlay.. March 10, 2006 - SmackDown!: Kurt Angle & Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton & Mark Henry w/Daivari ended in a No Contest.. March 17, 2006 - SmackDown!: Kurt Angle & Rey Mysterio & Randy Orton defeated Mark Henry & MNM (Mercury & Nitro).. March 18, 2006 - Saturday Night's Main Event: RAW (Triple H & John Cena) beat SD! (Kurt Angle & Rey Mysterio & Randy Orton).. March 24, 2006 - SmackDown!: Fit Finlay defeated Rey Mysterio with help from Randy Orton RKOing Rey Mysterio! ~~~Randy Orton interfered later in Kurt Angle's match, bring Rey down to help, but Rey accidentally hit Angle, causing problems.. March 31, 2006 - Smackdown!: Kurt Anlge defeated Rey Mysterio perfectly clean, Rey tapped out. After the match Randy Orton got in the ring and gave Rey the RKO, leaving him laying outside of the ring as Kurt and Orton went at it. So, he won the Rumble, beat fucking Sylvan, and was on the winning team in two different tag matches, and in one of those Randy Orton made him look like a total moron. I also put in bold where it talks about Teddy Long putting Rey in the match, just because it was such a cheap way to do things, and made it look like Rey didn't really deserve it...but they went ahead and just let him because they felt sorry for the guy. Now that I look at all of this "on paper", I'm not sure where any excitement even came from in the first place. They have treated him like shit all year except for that Rumble win, and even there they didn't let it be the main event. And all of this is just about Rey. What they've done to Kurt Angle is a totally different story. EDIT: The March 3, 2006 Smackdown isn't listed above because he isn't listed as even being on that show, the show right after he actually beat someone (JBL, tag). EDIT AGAIN: I just edited the above to add what happened at Smackdown tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humanoid92 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2006 The booking actually makes sense when you think about it. If they weren't gonna do a schmozz finish, or a cheap DQ, what would you have prefered? From a storyline perspective it makes sense for Rey to tap out so quickly. Why would he risk severe damage by trying to hang on to win this meaningless match, when he could just tap out, end it, and make sure his ankle isn't screwed up going into the actual important match. Of course, announcers suck these days, so something like that isn't expressed to the viewer, but that's the logical implication. Now when Rey goes over Sunday, Angle has a built in re-match. Yeah, as the former Champ he would have had that anyway, but it's reinforced now since Angle has beaten Rey one on one, but Rey hasn't done the same to him. Standard booking. For example, Jericho jobbed clean to Austin on Raw the week before he won the Undisputed Championship on PPV. Tonight they were making the Champion look strong going into the PPV, which makes perfect sense because due to the triple threat rules, the odds are stacked against him. This is just putting heat on Rey to add to his underdog role. If he beats Angle clean a couple days before the show, he's not really the underdog anymore, is he?

"You must be THIS TALL to talk to Kurt Angle." Yeah, but you know as well as I that stuff from 3-4 years ago has no bearing on this current angle. Which is strange, considering they have no problem mentioning the Undertaker going over Giant Gonzalez 13 years ago, but they won't mention the history between two of the guys in their main event.
