View Full Version : Mysterio no longer wants Eddie chants...

After the match Angle and Mysterio shake hands. Orton recovers only to be double teamed by the faces. Mysterio hits the RKO on Orton, and Angle directed Mysterio to lock the ankle lock on Orton. Angle grabs the house mic, and notes that while we all love Eddie Guerrero it is time to start showing Rey some respect by chanting his name rather than Eddie Guerrero's. Angle guides the crowd through a "Rey Rey Rey" chant, and the night ends here.

I guess either Rey or WWE had enought of the 'Eddie chants'. Maybe that was just a one off, but it's wierd that they mentioned it. :-\
I do believe Rey deserves his own chant. But I think now that the 'Eddie' chants will follow him everywhere. The fans just want to show their love and respect for Eddie Guerrero, and Rey and Chavo are the people they want to show their love too.

It's different with Chavo since they are related.
I'd rather hear Chavo and Rey chants myself though.

Well, it was okay for the Eddie chants at first but it is I'm not sure how to say time to move on?
When Bret Hart wrestled after Owen died, you do not see fans chanting for Owen right? Just as an example. So it should stop but I do not think it will until after Wrestlemania
The WWE may have fucked themselves over. They have associated Rey so much with Eddie now that the fans are going to chant for Eddie for a LOOONG time.
Could you imagine that if he wins the title he gets an Eddie chant? That will be a sign of trouble...

Oh, but how do you know that? WWE.com certainly didn't post the results. You must have read it from a news site or gathered it from here, but that would mean that they could be wrong because they're not official. :roll:

I wouldn't mind if he died that though. What he was doing was raping Eddie's legacy and milking it to further his own career. Sell out.

I hope nobody ever chants Rey's name. Face it, if Eddie hadn't died Rey wouldn't be here. Rey milked the death of his friend, went along with storylines that talked about hos Eddie was burning in hell, continues to wear EG arm bands, and has made it clear he is the face to cheer for if you loved Eddie Guerrero. I had so much respect for Rey Mysterio for years. Now, I think he is a sell out, and what's worse, he sold out and made his career move off of his best friends death.
I KNOW WWE wouldn't have fired Rey if he didn't agree to be a part of Eddie burning in hell, and even if he was he could walk into a very nice check from TNA or any promotor across the planet. No amount of fame or money would ever allow me to sell out the legecy of my best friend. Rey did it, and is now shocked and shaken that he lost his identity...well he gained Eddie's and that's a legacy I don't think Mysterio deserves to hold.

That's right. Shout an audience into respecting someone. You'd have thought Kurt would have learnt from his 'no-heat' experiences that only the women and kiddies can be sheep herded into doing stuff.
Mysterio has made his own bed over Eddie, and I won't ever respect him. Next we'll have Angle on the mike shouting 'its time we stopped looking at Rey as a short 150 pound show-pony with no business in the main event and started treating him like a monster'.

Kurt failed attempts to help lost causes...
*Having people cheer Mysterio for him and not for Eddie
*Save SmackDown from being boring
*Getting John Cena cheered
It hasn't been an easy year for old Angle.
You know, they've done this well with getting Rey over using Eddie... What's going to happen when he turns heel, if he does? If he went this far, I could see him going as far as using Eddie to get over as a heel next...

Well, he's bound to make the turn sooner or later.
My guess is this whole Eddie shit is what turns him in the end anyway.
Then again, they may just leave him face forever.

Actually, this IS going to happen. At the very end, Rey will be leading the fans in an Eddie chant. You heard it here first.

Holy fuck, you can't have things both ways. The WWE spends three months convincing WWE fans that they should chant "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie" when they see his family or closest friends in the ring. Hell, I still see Mysterio doing the Eddie shoulder shake thing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FUck, I bet the only reason they are doing this is because they are NOT putting the World Heavyweight Title on Mysterio. Even though, that has been only build-up to the Wrestle Mania main event.

Fuck Rey Mysterio. He's been so busy milking Eddie's memory, now the only respect he gets is in the form of Eddie chants.
Good on Angle to do it, for whatever reason.

I think the chants might be less frequent if he stopped dooing the Latino Heat gimmick moves, Eddie's finisher, pointing to the sky, and wearing an EG armband.

And if he stopped dedicating everything under the sun to Eddie then the chants might die down.
Rey is well and truly fucked and quite frankly, he deserves it.
Any way you look at it, there is going to be HUGE Eddie chants at Mania. It may spell the end for Mysterio's identity.

Well, I don't think we should be THAT antagonistic toward Rey. The report said Angle called for a Rey chant, not Rey himself, so maybe it was something management requested.
Yes, he deserves some blame for this whole thing, but we shouldn't be treating him like he's some evil greedy guy.

On the one hand its good to still involve Eddie and to kinda keep him alive, but you dont wanna asccosiate Eddie with rey all the time, I gotta say that because of a slight overkill of the whole Pointing to the sky/frog splash thing, he kinda bought it on himself.

Mysterio wasn't in the New Bloods (I think you're thinking about Billy Kidman). And I'm sorry, do you really think that the Filthy Animals were heels, the closest they were to being heels was when they were fueding with Mysterio. When Rey-Rey came on board they were faces.
Oh I mean WCW doesn't count... :shifty:

Nah, he was definitely a part of the heel version of the New Blood and the Filthy Animals. Kidman was too, but Rey was there. I remember a particular match that featured the trio of Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman, and Konnan against Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan.

Rey asking the fans to stop chanting Eddie is not going to work. The majority of fans chant whatever they want and have shown this by continuing to chant 'You Suck' for Angle's entrance despite the fact he is so blatantly portrayed as a face; and continue the chant 'What?' during every Austin promo even though this gimmick was written off more than 3 years ago.
I respect Rey's desire to honour the memory of his friend. But he dug himself this hole and now he's got to live with it. It doesn't help when he has appeared in the ring to chant Eddie with the fans, take banners from the crowd and lay down shirts in the middle of the ring for almost every after-show in the last 6 months
Kane Knight

Angle has multiple times welcomed the fans chanting "You Suck" when he was face though. You can't compare the two.

Rey Mysterio is one of the world's most marketable wrestlers. He could walk into RoH, TNA, NJPW, or any other promotion in the world, and get a VERY nice pay check. Would he be main eventing in the world's largest promotion? No. But he could find a pay check from anywhere. And when push comes to shove, if someone suggested that I profit from my best friend's death, I would tell them to take their offer, their million dollar pay check, and their Mania Main Event and shove it up their ass.
Besides, Rey Mysterio could stop wrestling TODAY and would have a ton of money...you do know he was in a multi-million dollar contract from his time in WCW, and has already made more then a million dollars with his run in WWE...
Yeah, if Rey didn't piss on his best friend's legacy, he and his family would starve.

But Vince is GOD! Everyone in the world gets their paychecks from Vince. Rey Mysterio, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner, AJ Styles, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Michael J Fox, and even you and I get our money from Vince. Without Vince, we would ALL starve!

Except, when Angle demands people not chant it, he's in character as a heel.
It's supposed to promote people to chant it more.
Otherwise, he has always welcomed it, or used it on his opponents. He is not asking for people to stop now. You can't say it's not that different, because this is notrhing more than an aspect of his character.

I made this argument before.
WWE isn't in a position to risk Rey Rey going to TNA, even if he wouldn't be as big or make as much, he would be a big draw to the competition wherever and I mean wherever he went. He's one of the big names, and could get TNA more and/or better exposure.
Rey could have told them to fuck off. Rey has a level of job sexurity few people in WWE do, and NO other cruiser does. And even if they DID fire him, he'd have a paycheck e'er long.
And IF they did fire him for not doing it, couldn't Rey sue because they fired him because he refused to do something against his beliefs (which it obviously wasn't, but that's besides the point)?
