Awkward! Of course, they are some involving an uncooperative ladder, and those moments can’t be helped.īut both wrestlers seemed to be having an off night. But halfway through, he loses grip of Rey (and appears to hit his head on a ladder rung in the process), but Rey still slams himself to the floor. For example, Eddie goes for the (now typical) sunset flip bomb off the top of the ladder. One or two can be forgiven, but there are obvious mistakes every few minutes. The match is marred by miscommunications and botched aplenty. I’d go so far as to call it a shambles, actually. Oh, humanity! I mean…it’s only something that could happen in wrestling, isn’t it? Literally fighting for the custody of a child…Īs for the ladder match itself…it isn’t great. What was hanging from the rafters was custody papers for Dominick Mysterio! Yes, Rey agreed to put his 7 year old son’s future on the line, just so Eddie would stop saying ‘I’m your Papi’ to his son (should have bought one on the ‘I’m Your Papi’ shirts…). But it wasn’t a title hanging from the rafters, or even a Money in the Bank briefcase. I can’t remember the exact details, and the ore-match promo video didn’t jog my memory, but the whole feud came to a head at Summerslam…in a ladder match. The feud descended into absurdity when Eddie claimed that Rey’s son, Dominic Mysterio (yes, the same son wrestling today in WWE!!!), was actually his own flesh and blood…
That’s not to say their bouts were awful, but they certainly didn’t meet high expectations. They had a feud spanning most of the summer, but none of their matches could hope to reach the heights of their phenomenal match at WCW Halloween Havoc in 1997. In 2005, WWE turned Eddie Guerrero heel by having him viciously assault his best friend, Rey Mysterio Jr. I love the former match, but the latter match is something else…
His awesome opening bout against Kurt Angle at Summerslam 2002…and his Ladder match against Eddie Guerrero at Summerslam 2005. It’s Summerslam tomorrow! Oh wait, WWE have moved their Premuim Live Events (PLEs) to Saturday night…so it is actually tonight! With Rey Mysterio’s 20th anniversary in the WWE celebrated this week, I thought about the ‘Littlest Big Guy’s’ Summerslam matches.
