Now if I understand correctly, This whole fued, and then the twist of "I have a secret" was at the request of Mysterio and Guerrero themselves.
Man I'm kind of taking another hiatus from watching smackdown (jsut something about it being taped, being on upn, and on thursday that I just can't get into), but the last couple episodes I saw, Eddie's family came out, then Rey's son came out, and then Eddie explained everything (recently bringing out the mother of his bastard child after his wife and daughters came out to stop him a week or two earlier).
You got to wonder what the hell they told they're families to get them to go along with this story. Cause If I remember correctly (according to Eddie's dvd and biography) Eddie really had recently reconciled with his wife, really did have a child with some random woman during his separation, and then had a spiritual reawakening and changed his ways (please don't turn this into a "he's a hypocrite" type of thread).
And man, Rey brought out his own son to tv to really get the angle going. You'd think their wives would be uncomfortable with this whole thing.

All I can hope that that their families are thinking is that their bread winners are making a lot of money for them and not about the angle. Otherwise those kids could be messed up for life.

I wonder what the real mother of Eddie's bastard-child thinks about it.

I can picture Dominick getting hell from the other kids at school. Sucks to be him.

Well, if it means money for their families, then of course they agreed. Not going along with the angle could've mean't trouble for Eddie and Rey.

I'm still in the dark over how they are explaining this never-said but obvious fact - DOMINICK LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE REY AND NOTHING LIKE EDDIE. (Read: It's never being mentioned on TV...ever)
They could have at least brought out a plant that looked like both wrestlers in some way, shape or form. Hell, even call him Dominick.
I'd rather suspend my disbelief that an actor is playing Rey's son fathered by Eddie instead of Rey's real son who looks nothing like his on-screen "father".
Since I have to every time I post about this angle, BIG UPS to Eddie for playing one of the best heels in refcent memory. He's freaking awesome at it. I adore this heel character he's got now.

Like a week ago I jokingly said the match would have a stipulation that involved Dominic's custody papers as the reward.
And lo and behold, the current rumor is that the match will be a ladder match with just that on the line.
In short, they're insane.

I like eddie and rey both but enough with them wrestling each other. I just got back from a house show where eddie and taker fought in a no dq match and it was a great match. Rey had a great match in a 3 way for the US title. This storyline has drug out so long I almost forgot how good both guys are wrestling OTHER people.
As for the kids im sure that this causes them a degree of aggrivation at school but really as long as the families are cool with it I dont see a problem with it other than being bored with the whole idea of those two wrestling each other again.

well, first, I'll assume that the paychecks that Eddie and Rey are bringing home ease the burden a bit (they are both in that 6-figure crowd I would think).
Also, they understand the business quite well. I mean, Eddie's family got involved before in storylines (notably the "heart attack" angle with his mother). As well, I'm almost positive that Rey wouldn't put his son out there unless he knew and understood what was going on and what could happen to him outside of the show.
Considering it was Rey's idea, I would guess that the families are comfortable with it or they wouldn't have done it.

And I agree with EvilMasterBetty. The advantage thatEddie's and Rey's families have is that they've been around wrestling forever. Given, I'm sure Hector Guerrero and Rey Misterio Sr. never were involved in a paternity suit storyline, but they have an advantage that not everyone has: they've been around wrestling forever, so it gets a little easier for them to deal with wacky storylines. After all, can you imagine the conversation that Kurt Angle had to have with his wife when he found out that he'd be a pervert for a few months and say on national TV that he wanted to have beastiality sex with Another man's wife?

I think there trying to make Dominick look like Eddy completely on blond hair alone- nevermind that Eddy's natural hair color is black, his is a dye job, as is Dominick's.
Also ignore the fact that people of hispanic bloodlines have naturally black hair 95% of the time.

Thats complete balls, Domonic's getting to appear on national TV every week and on Smackdown which is huge with kids of his age. I doubt he'd get bullied over it. The only inacuracy I can think of is Rey Mysterio and his wife apparantly "can't conceive" but their daughter has been on WWE TV several times before along with Dominic. I can only think that this will lead to another "whos child is it anyway?" fued for Rey Rey with mabye JBL claiming to be the girls father or something.

They couldn't concieve then. I just make the comparison to King of the Hill. Doctors told Hank he couldn't get his wife pregnant because of his narrow urethra, but after playing with their new puppy both of them got relaxed/horny enough to concieve!

Maybe Eddie and Rey's storyline was kinda taken from "King of the Hill". Now if Rey brings out a labrador retriever on Smackdown in a couple of weeks, then we'll know how it ends.

Never actually using what's inside the briefcase, but instead whacking someone with it at every opportunity. He needs some skank hanging off him too.

This whole things sucks to me. Kudos to Eddie for playing a good heel, but the storyline sucks donkey nuts.

How old is Dominick? 5?
Are 5 year olds even allowed to stay up past 8:00 on a Tursday?

my wife and I were wondering the same thing about the families.... And while I don't like the storyline it's making people watch... at work almost all the inmates stopped what they were doing and watched the eddie/Rey exchange and were stone cold silent during it.... BTW I'm a Detention Officer for Tulsa County.

Said this multiple times but the whole angle was Rey's idea
The latest twist was probably creative's idea but Rey started the ball rolling
