Doesn't sound liek BS to me. I really don't think Rey should have been champ. It did nothing for ratings and nothing for the hispanic demograph which I am sure is the leading reason they even tested it. Rey will not see another world/WWE title win and honestly doesn't really deserve to.

There's no way the Rey thing is true. If Vince had been that against him winning the title, he would NOT have won the title... Not to mention the fact that they were building to him and Eddie eventually feuding over the title before Eddie died.
The other stories seem rather dubious as well

Thank god some people have logic. Seriously, rey was champion PURELY out of sympathy, and it was absolutely pathetic. Hes not even worthy of being champion im sorry bit have to disagree. noone has been as over with kids as rey mysterio. he is a huge draw and sells a ridiculous amount of merchandise. on that alone he is worthy of being a world champion. this is coming from someone who isn't even really a fan of his. but he is $$$$$$$$$. I like these two posts because they show two different sides. They show a wrestling side and a business side. Honestly, I don't believe the world title to be worth anything.. It's a silly belt. People take it way too seriously. Ultimately it comes down to what Vince McMahon wants because it's his company, but if Rey is drawing the company's biggest audience (kids), then he should have had the belt when he did. Unfortunately, talent doesn't mean crap in WWE. If you want to showcase your best talents, go to ROH or something. WWE is not the place to be then.

LoL. Triple H voted for himself to win the rumble.
Why on earth is he even voting?

Yeah most of this sounds like complete B.S.. The only thing that i can kind of relate to is rey rey becoming the champ. If Guerrero would have never passed away, i can almost guaren damn tee that he would have never gotten that belt.

Even if there is little truth to it, I have to agree with the thing about Mysterio.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a hell of a performer and a great on-screen role model for kids, but Rey Mysterio never was and never will be World Championship material. He's just not bred to be a main eventer, and I swear by the idea that Rey's win was out of sympathy. It was either him, or Chavo, and we all knew that wasn't going to happen.
Rey's run as champion was supposed to be Eddies, plain and simple.

i guess i'm in the minority that had no problem with the idea of rey mysterio - world champion. my problem was the execution of it. there was no reason for him to be out there facing mark henry and the great khali and losing non-title matches. none whatsoever. it made absolutely zero sense. either suspend disbelief and tell the story that rey can beat them, or go the real life route have one of them win the title. or go the best route and not have rey face them but rather guys who can actually work and let him do what he does best which is wrestle. but WWE choose the worst option and made Rey a complete failure as champ.

Rey should have never had that title. Even if he did it shouldnt be in the wake of Eddies death. It makes it seem like it was just given to him cause Eddie died, not because he earned it The spirit of Eddie Guerrero won the title through possession of Rey Mysterio.

- The writers always pitched for songs by guys like 50 Cent to be used but Vince said Hip Hop was not popular with their fans and continued to use stuff like Creed despite it sucking. When Edge found out his theme was by Alter Bridge he was sad. They said he looked like a kid who thought he was out of school for a snow day but then learned he had to go anyways and walk two miles to get there.
I'm sorry, but as one of the seemingly few Creed/Alter Bridge fans here, 50 Cent can suck my dick.

I don't believe any of this garbage. It's terribly written and nothing seems logical. I wrote it idiot. Dude the fact here is you have proven people will believe anything they here. The fact you had so much info made people be so stupid too think that if its got a lot of info it must have a good source. It also proved no one reads the whole topic. I don't like the fact you did this but you proved something here. I dissapprove of lieing but still got too hand it too you. You made a lot of people look super gullable and like they are an "idiot". +1

Yeah, it was Edge who asked for a theme change, and I'm sure I heard that it was him that changed it to "Metalingus"

I don't know if this can be believed but if it is true than rey was lucky he had supporters that outnumbered him.
I would have been really mad if jbl had the wht for another long reign.
JBL vs Batista at Wm 23 would have sucked so bad.
Thank God we dodged that bullet!
Mr. Kennedy really sucks now.
How long is he going to be injured for?
Come back and stay healthy or just retire.

Hes not even worthy of being champion im sorry but have to disagree. noone has been as over with kids as rey mysterio. he is a huge draw and sells a ridiculous amount of merchandise. on that alone he is worthy of being a world champion. this is coming from someone who isn't even really a fan of his. but he is $$$$$$$$$. No problem, is wrestling, opions differ so much. You are right in that rey can sell a hell of a lot of merchandise, however he didnt need to be champion to do it. He already could alone. But his reign was purely based on the events of eddie, as was his royal rumble win. And thats not even good for rey, cause it 'stains' his reign. He is $$$ but doesnt need the belt for it and the reason he got it, was eddie. im sorry bit have to disagree. noone has been as over with kids as rey mysterio. he is a huge draw and sells a ridiculous amount of merchandise. on that alone he is worthy of being a world champion. this is coming from someone who isn't even really a fan of his. but he is $$$$$$$$$.
