I'm getting tired of it, I'm sick of Rey Mysterio using it to get over, and I'm sick of heels using it to get cheap heat. Swagger using it this Friday was beyond sad. At least Rey really was his friend, and Orton has been around the same time as him (as awful as "Eddie is in hell!" was. But Swagger has neither going for him.

This is not my idea of "giving back" to wrestling

Yup. It seems like a cheap ploy to get Rey over.

How many more years until their target demographic (children) aren't going to understand Eddie references anyway?

he hasn't been mentioned for ages and unlike Chris Benoit there's no reason not to mention him.

This is one of the reasons I can't stand Rey Rey. He's just using Eddie at this point.

Rey needs to move on, kayfabe wise. Sad thing is Vickie Guerrero and Chavo did move on.

I don't understand why people dog on Rey whenever Eddie is brought up in his feuds. It's not his fault or is it Swagger's fault. WWE promo are heavily scripted so it's all on Creative, Vince or whoever writes them.

Try to separate your kayfabe from your real-life here. You know, everything Swagger said was true. Kayfabe wise that's exactly what Eddie's gimmick was, and if Swagger disagrees with his tactics, he disagrees with them. This is itself could be hypocritical, but that's probably why he's a heel.
Cheap heat? Maybe, doesn't mean it's not within their rights to reference past events of their own TV show.

Personaly I thought it was a nice little tribute. I agree that there is no need to build entire storylines around him anymore, ala 2006, but honestly it's not like he should never be mentioned on TV again.

In fairness, with it being in the context of the Mexican underdog champion defeating the All American amateur wrestler by avoiding the ankle lock with a loose boot, its fine. They wont build off it, and thats why Im ok with it.

Swagger called Rey a cheater like his friend Eddie was. I just don't see a problem with that. Now Orton saying Eddie's in hell, yep that's a problem as it suggest Eddie was a bad person in REAL LIFE.
