At Summerslam, Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio will go at it in a Ladder Match for Dominick's custody papers. This is being called the end of the feud between Eddie & Rey in the WWE. My question, do you agree? If not, then how would you end this feud?
I personally don't think the Ladder Match should be the final stop for these two, and my reasoning is this:
This feud should end with a pinfall or submission decision.
Some may disagree, some may want this feud to end as soon as possible, but I personally would buy No Mercy just to see Eddie and Rey end their feud in a specialty match that really catered to this feud, and not to the child being used to advance it.
At Summerslam, I propose Eddie Guerrero wins. Rey has the match in the palm of his hand, but when Rey climbs the ladder, the custody papers are risen out of his grip. The marks would eat it up, and Michael Cole would sell it pretty well. The most important thing in Rey's life has been ripped from him and is unobtainable. Worse of all, his worst enemy can obtain it. Rey goes on the offensive and tries to destroy Eddie. Tazz and Cole give us Rey's reasoning, telling us that if Rey can't win this match because it's rigged, he'll make sure Eddie Guerrero can't climb the ladder and win. Guerrero manages to battle back, though, and he climbs the ladder and gets the custody papers.
On SmackDown!, Theodore Long refuses to sign a statement saying Eddie and Rey have failed to settle the score. Rey had that match won, but he was screwed, and Eddie has gone back on his contractual obligations in this feud, anyway (the secret). Theodore Long says the score will be finally settled at No Mercy in a match of Rey's choosing. Rey leaves us hanging one week, then decides that it will be either a Hell in a Cell or 3 Stages of Hell (with the fianl fall being Hell in a Cell). Either way these guys tear it up in a match that they both haven't competed in, something which hasn't happened in the Cell's history since its incarnation in 1997, wich is around the time these guys were feuding in WCW. If you really wnated to be clever, you could mix clips of Eddie and Rey feuding in WCW in '97 with clips from Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker in the very first ever Hell in a Cell Match, highlighting how one year gave both to two legendary legacies.
Anyway, these guys could have the greatest Hell in a Cell, ever, in my opinion. Give them a ladder, some tables, let them go outside, and watch them tell a story. But it would really be the heaviest Hell in a Cell match of all-time, too.
All the Cells have a feeling of demise in them, but they have all delivered entertainment at the same time. Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio may deliver from a technical standpoint, but when you think about the feud ina kayfabe sense (and in a wrestling sense too, I suppose) it almost seems like a legit waste to have two of the most talented guys on the roster going at it in a match that could "end careers", etc., and it would really highlight how their feud has evolved from being about winning a friendly match, to completely destroying these guys lives in their entirety. The two would almost seem out of their league competing in a match that is traditionally only for the "icons", as well.
The promos would be awesome, too. Can you image Rey almost breaking down when he says he has nothing left to live for since his life has been turned upside down by Eddie, and saying he wants it all to end, and the only end he can see is Hell in a Cell. Rey talking about how he can usually see several months into his professional career, seeing future events, matches, etc. all planned out in his head, but right now, he can't see past Hell in a Cell, for the first time he sees an ending, and he doesn't know what to make of it would be phenominal, IMO. Eddie Guerrero reminding us about what he has done in the WWE (Royal Rumble Winner, WWE Champion, IC Champion, US Champion, etc.) would really highlight the match as a big one. Him reminding us about how he said he would take Rey's life at the beginning of their little feud, and how know Rey has played right into his hands and given him the means to do it, would be down-right creepy, IMO.
The biggest plus of all, out of all of this, IMO, is it graduates the smaller guys, the talented guys, the lesser guys, whatever you want to call them, to main event level. They finally get a chance to shine in the big boys' playground, by competing in their match. Eddie and Rey opened the doors for a lot of guys back in the 90's, they can open some veen bigger doors if they got to compete in Hell in a Cell, IMO.
So yeah. Agree? Disagree? How would you finish of this feud.
