Look, I wish they'd drop the Eddie thing too, ok? But saying that Rey only got the spot because Eddie died is pretty ignorant. Eddie's dead, but Batista is out with an injury, so they had to scramble to fix that, Mark Henry's working again, so people are afraid to work, now Bradshaw's hand is cracked. It's pretty chaotic in general over there, and I think Rey was an idea they were going to run with anyway--but under the circumstances, they ran with it quicker than expected.
As for his size being "dumb", well...that's pretty short-sighted. (No pun intended.) You gotta remember, Rey is not a power wrestler. He's speed and agility. He can hit guys like Show and A-Train ten times before they know he's there. So saying he can't be heavyweight champ because he's not as strong is ignorant. That's like saying Big Show can't beat Psocosis in Mexico because he's not a luchador.
And a lot of the 'bigger guys' get held back b/c they can't wrestle or because the crowd doesn't give a damn. And wether you personally like Rey or not, it would appear that most of the audience does, and to a level beyond most other superstars. So, you take into account his popularity, his record, and the fact that his style is effective, I really don't see any reason for you Nay-Reys to be crying about it so much.
