As for Rey retiring, I'm kinda on the fence here. On the one hand he's always been one of my favorites, but I also can see he's just slowly going down hill every time he comes out to the ring.

It's a shame that Sin Cara didn't work because it'd have been great if Rey could have gone out while passing the torch. Maybe if he's got a few more years in him they can find someone who will actually work in the role and he can have his retirement match against them.

Honestly I just don't understand why they didn't just give the Sin Cara gimmick to Hunico in the first place. He'd have been more than adequate as Rey's "replacement".
Not really. I mean, it wasn't nearly as much of a feel-good moment as Eddie and He-Who-Shalt-Not-Be-Named hugging with their titles @ WM XX. Although, while I feel there was definitely good reason for Mysterio being added to the match, it really did smack of doing it for Eddie. I've always been of the opinion that (and I have NEVER backed down from it, nor WILL I) Orton should've gone over Kurt and won the title.

Well of course it wasn't as feel-good as Eddie's moment at 'mania 20, but that doesn't mean it wasn't still a triumphant, heart warming moment.

"it really did smack of doing it for Eddie"... I'm not sure what you mean by "smack" here. Did you mean "smell of doing it for Eddie"? Anyway, of course it was for Eddie, and for his fans and family and friends. Does that make it a bad thing? I wasn't aware that kind and endearing gestures were bad.

As for Orton going over it'd have been a complete waste. The guy was already pretty well over by that period of time, and a triple threat win for the B-title wouldn't have done anything for him. In fact I'd argue that it was good for him because it helped lead him to becoming the guy he is today. Had he won the title there he'd probably have remained on Smackdown! longer, and been thrown into some "meh" feuds before losing the title to somoene that wouldn't have needed the rub and wouldn't give Orton a rub.

All in all I think that Mysterio winning the title was a great way to cap off the entire story, and to give closure to the fans and people that loved Eddie. It also helped put Rey into Eddie's spot as "the" Latino star for WWE.

LOL, No. I meant they were highly suggesting that it was some sort of tribute to Eddie and his memory when really they just wanted to piggyback off his name, memory and legacy whilst Eddie's death was still fresh on the minds of the fans. I realize this won't be comfortable reading for Mysterio fans, but it's the truth, and sometimes the truth fucking hurts, BOO-HOO.
