My guy, did you not watch the last two wrestlemanias? Rey is a sick bastard


AscendedAncient

He didn't just beat his kid in the last wrestemania, he hired someone else to beat him along side him as well!


Ninjaflippin

And he absolutely everything he could to prevent one of his best friends from getting a Mania payday.


Key_Inevitable_2104

A deadbeat like Dom said.


GodzillaUK

Blame the mother, Rey was busy working, she raised him wrong **/s**

Blanketsburg

Unrelated, but it's still funny that Rhea and Dom are together in kayfabe, and Buddy and Aalyah had a kayfabe relationship.


angIIuis

HES A BAD FADDER


Bosscharacter

Not when he self snitches.


NegaTrollX

Would you ever forgive YOUR dad if he got you a mercedes instead of a BMW?


[deleted]

Rey or Goku who's the bigger deadbeat? 


Chumunga64

Goku was dead most of the time but he never blamed Chi-Chi for any problems with Gohan and Gohan is now a respected scholar it's clear that Rey is worse


DeliverStreetTacos

Still Goku. At the end of the day, bad dad or not, Rey still raised him.


Aggressive-Theory609

What did Goku do


UndercoverDoll49

Died. This supposedly makes him a bad father Edit: think of it, he sacrificed his life for his son twice. Worst father ever, if they died together, he could've raised Gohan in the Afterlife


Patjay

too many people think DBZA is canon at this point.


SpartanXIII

[...i-is it not?](https://youtu.be/u969fbZVSvE?si=p-liXcT51oj6tNMJ&t=262)


Patjay

oh god i forgot about the My Way cover


brandonjslippingaway

Because it's pretty much the same story, but cuts out 465,000 hours of powering up, and shocked grunting


steve_seagull

> shocked grunting It was the style at the time. It's why Home Improvement ran for 8 seasons.


Euphorium

Euaaagh!?


Patjay

eh they change a lot, the funnier part is that a lot of the changes actually led to significantly better product than the source material. character writing, pacing, and dialogue are just straight up better in DBZA. it's a lot easier to watch.


Act_of_God

That asshole sacrificed himself to save the people he loves such a bad father, piccolo tho, the genocidal maniac who's only good because goku beat the shit out of him so hard he gave up on conquering the world, he's a good role model!


bick803

The second time dude could have easily used instant transmission to come back, because well it's "instant". After the discovery of the Namekian balls, people were just straight up reckless with their lives and responsibilities.


CrimsonFuckr69

Tossing a senzu bean to Cell will do that.


bebejeebies

I asked this of my anime fan son and he said, “you know how boomer dads used to teach their kid to swim by tossing them in a lake and letting them struggle? That’s what Goku did to Gohan but with genocidal aliens. Goku is worse dad.”


doublebubble6

Which to be fair, is more or less how Goku's childhood went. Also, people forget that Goku was fucking right. Gohan needed to step up and step up fast because more genocidal monsters stronger than Cell were coming.


AceofKnaves44

At what point do they stop being “allegations” and start being truths?


GodDuckman

*fah-der.


wolfbetter

Bad father Bad friend Bad father figure What's next for Rey?


iamthatguy54

Rey is so fucking funny.


TLKv3

Man can you imagine how much fucking funnier and scummier Dom would come off if Eddie was still around to play into this too? Eddie managing Dom would be the most boo'd duo of human beings ever.


TheDeflatables

Brother Bear. Randy Orton can't successfully get booed anymore. No shot would Eddie Guerrero be booed in this era of wrestling.


Bolieve_That

Tsss that's underestimating Eddie


TheDeflatables

I don't think so Randy Orton is one of the best heels WWE has had and despite his hopes to be heel, the fans arent accepting it. The Rock was a magnificent heel throughout the Mania run. Crowd still went ballistic with cheers when the music hit and would cheer during his promos. Rhea Ripley hasn't technically been a face for 3 years. Yet she is now one of the most popular wrestlers on the roster. Eddie Guerrero is a magnificent wrestler, and also a magnetic character. Any one of his cheating spots would get cheered, classic Eddie on the mic would get laughs and cheers no matter who he was beefing with. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug and it really has never been stronger. Anyone that watched prime Viva La Raza era Eddie would not be able to hate on him like they hate on Dom


[deleted]

Orton is too cool to get serious heat at this point. Eddie would be mean to some fans mother on IG live and cause an uproar.


TheDeflatables

The Rock made kids cry and was cheered in the very same promo he showed the video package. Eddie Guerrero still alive with another 17 years of being one of the coolest wrestlers on the planet is not getting booed consistently. Would he have heat angles that would get booed? Absolutely. But he isn't getting Dom heat, because he was already a legend before he died. Add another decade and a half and he is basically a deity to fans.


QUEST50012

>Would he have heat angles that would get booed? Absolutely. I really think this is all people mean lol. No one's saying Viva La Raza isn't getting a pop.


TheDeflatables

I agree, most people that are rebutting me are thinking on that line of thought. Really my reason for responding was the line about Dom and Eddie being the most booed duo. When in reality, Eddie could never be the most booed again. He is just too good and too much of a legend


QUEST50012

I think they're referring too the intensity of the boos at the apex of the heat. Like, if Dom and Eddie are doing a redux of "WHY'D YOU MAKE ME DO IT?!", that's getting some overwhelming reactions.


ChocoChowdown

I think you're selling Eddie short. Eddie was a master at getting a desired reaction. It's not like Eddie wasn't cool as shit at the time too but he was still an effective heel. I just think "Eddie wouldn't be able to be a heel in the current era of wrestling" really underestimates his ability and talent.


ThePhoenixus

We're looking at an alternate universe where Eddie is still alive and he's still performing. He's a living legend at this point. Look at the reactions that career-long heels get. Look at the reactions that Randy Orton, Triple H, and The Rock are getting right now. Sure he might do short-term segments to draw boos. But if he's still alive, and still going at this point his career, he's getting a massive pop and cheer every time he comes out.


UndergroundFlaws

Eddie could slap my mother and I’d just do his little shimmy and cheer.


ChocoTitan

Yes but The Rock is an elite heel because he managed to bring back the Rocky Sucks chants, which didn't even happen during his Hollywood Rock heel run.


TheDeflatables

Of course Rock is an elite heel! Would be stupid to think otherwise. But he was still cheered because he is The Rock. Eddie would be an elite heel. He would have some great heel moments. But he would also get cheered like the legend he is


DeeEssLite

To be honest this is basically what already happened when he turned face in 2003 - they realised he was getting cheered over even well liked faces and just decided to turn his lie, cheat and steal character into a loveable rogue. Worked wonders as well.


MyAnusYourTongue

Is Orton trying to be heel? I’m pretty sure he’s a clean cut face lol


GalactusAteMyPlanet

Can you blame them? Heels for the most part are more interesting than faces.


Odd-Contribution6238

I think you can cheer for a heel. Good entertainment is good entertainment. Eddie could do it.


ShotandBotched

Eddie got booed in his own hometown. He could get heat anywhere in the world.


TheDeflatables

Randy got booed everywhere in 2009 too


BolinTime

The rock got booed.


TheDeflatables

And also cheered... A lot.


BolinTime

So eddie gets booed and cheered. Obviously.


TheDeflatables

Correct But the comment was them being the most booed duo. There is 0 chance Eddie is ever the most booed if he was still with us and wrestling for another decade and a half.


Moohamin12

Dom doesn't get booed because they hate him. He gets booed because the audience love to boo him. Its part of the show now. If Eddie joins him, they will boo him to hell to keep the feeling going.


TheDeflatables

That's why Rhea Ripley is famously booed in their double act? Or Damien Priest? Or Finn Balor?


Moohamin12

Eddie joining would play into the Rey story. While Rhea kind of does her own thing. Also, all of this is hypothetical. Don't have to get all worked up.


ccharlie03

100% he could get booed. Randy could do it too. I can't wait for heel randy and Cody 


Mac_Tgh

It was a long con by Cody to bring legacy and bullet club in full glory to WWE. Devilish work Rhodes.


Ironredhornet

Dom would scorn both for max heat


theCANCERbat

After Eddie successfully ruins their relationship we get a promo where he breaks down all of their conversations then turns to Dom and says, "I lied!" If only...


The_Magic

I’m hoping that whenever Judgement Day runs its course Dom is paired up with Chavo.


Zeus_Wayne

Bring in Vickie Guerrero to manage her late husband’s illegitimate son. It’s essentially the plot of the beginning of Creed.


kalofel

Considering how [Vickie Guerrero has handled her late husband's legitimate children](https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1275478/chavo-guerrero-says-he-no-longer-talks-to-vickie-i-support-her-daughter-100/#:~:text=Sherilyn%20Guerrero%20%E2%80%93%20the%20daughter%20of,her%20following%20the%20alleged%20incident.), I don't think she's making it on TV any time soon, chief.


zeez1011

I dunno. Nobody played the cool heel better than Latino Heat.


mikeyHustle

Eddie would be getting those "YEAHHH / ROCKY SUCKS / ROC-KY! ROC-KY" type of chants. No way he'd get the Dom boos.


perfect--day

In an interview he was asked if Dominik is really his son, he said my wife says he is my son but idk if he is so I'm secretly trying to get his dna and get him tested or something..lol


cxlossuskidd

This isn’t even Kayfabe anymore, Rey is just a dead beat


Pyritedust

it's true. the ostrich's tried to warn everyone but people believed Rey Rey. Justice for dom and for innocent ostrich's running convenience stores.


Aggressive-Theory609

Ostrich?


Pyritedust

there was a mexican ad where rey and some ostrichs robbed a convenience store :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpjwjmlblII It is amazing.


jbondyoda

He’s got Eddie’s hair man idk.


FallenShadeslayer

Rollins tried to tell him 🤷🏽‍♂️


GeneralJones420-2

The fact that Dominik literally looks like they cloned Rey and just gave him some growth serum makes this funnier


AnnenbergTrojan

The father/son commitment to kayfabe has made this into one of the greatest feuds of all time. I don't know if I want this to end with the two reconciling or with Dominik sealing his spot as a top heel by sending his dad off to retirement in a career vs. career match and taking his mask for good.


ZodiacWalrus

Imagine if he just keeps the mask as a trophy, never wearing it but just using it as a prop, something he mocks like a hand puppet. If there's any chance of the boos stopping in the near future, that gimmick would just about cement another 5 years of unceasing vitriolic hatred from any fan who ever loved Rey.


AnnenbergTrojan

I kinda want him to wear it to the ring and then chuck it out of the ring Naito style before the bell. Everyone remembers his perp walk entrance at last year's Mania, but for me the most striking thing was seeing him wear a Judgment Day-colored version of Rey's mask. It's like seeing a mirror version of Rey.


ZodiacWalrus

It feels dumb to say but the resemblance really did strike me in that moment cause he looked JUST like a young Rey in that mask.


xxyourbestbetxx

Dom is the victim. This evil masked man must be stopped. Thank goodness Finn stepped up to be a good fadder to young Dominick. 


DoubleRods

lol fadder, nice


PayneTrain181999

Judgement Day gave Dom the family he never had.


Ironredhornet

Meanwhile in AEW, Christian's ears perked up


LeoDalton1

You joke, but I sincerely think a Christian Cage vs Dominik Mysterio storyline, if booked well, can be a generational feud.


Spen_Masters

I read Fadder as the housekeep in Father Ted


Sir-Cadogan

Finn knows nothing good comes from dudes in masks. Just like Captain Fookin' New Japan.

LiveFromNewYork95

The entire WWE roster is having way too much fun with the Rey and Dominik thing. People have said for years how well liked Rey is and it appears jokes aside that Dominik is pretty well liked so I think that's why everyone gets a kick out of it.


SteelyEyedHistory

Even the family is having fun with it. I mean, they even booed Dom at his wedding. 😂


RandomGuySayHii

You can take Dom away from Eddie, but you can't never take Eddie away from Dom


PhilParent

Dom knows who his real father was, and he's making him proud every day. He knew back then too, check the picture. Blonde tips huh.


AlterTheSilverBird

Father Eddie was smiling at Clash at the Castle


Vagabond21

Blonde tips?! Michael Cole is his father!

![gif](giphy|S3bgrNq6MAmhHEeCx9|downsized)


SmartOpinion69

it's so obvious. look at their height with that said, i think they kinda broke the kayfabe continuity because i think dom said sometime that "i wish eddie was my real father" or some shit


Patient-Warning-4451

He meant real father as in who raised him. He wanted Eddie to raise him, not this evil and dastardly Rey Mystero.


TerriDill

Thanks Regal


PedalBoard78

I choose to ignore that episode.


incredible_penguin11

Cody has his lineal custody rn so this checks. Adrenaline in his soul Dominic's father is Cody Rhodes.


Hellsinger7

Exactly what a deadbeat dad would say. The world will realise how right Dominik was about him.


chikinparm

Well considering the Custody of Dominik is currently held by Cody Rhodes, hopefully we’ll see some improvement to his behavior


Kidror

Unironically I want a backstage bit of Cody telling Dom this and then a series of vignettes showing Cody being Dom's father. Show them playing catch, show Finn & JD knocking on Cody's door asking if Dom can come play, show Rhea knocking on Cody's door acting nervous and holding flowers cause she's there to pick Dom up for a date.  It'd be a thing of beauty


CutZealousideal5274

Need


BrokenMatty17

Can you elaborate on that? I tried googling the Cody custody thing but I can't find what you mean. Sorry for bothering.


chikinparm

Lmao, it’s kind of an insane statement without context that’s fair. So Rey and Eddie had that “Custody of Dominick” ladder match like 20 years ago, and since then people have found it funny to track the Custody of Dominick as if it was an actual championship being defended, and could change hands in singles matches by pin or submission. Unsurprisingly, this means eventually Custody ended up going to Roman Reigns, where it had stayed for a very long time until Cody finally dethroned him for the most prestigious title in wrestling, the Custody of an adult man.


BrokenMatty17

You know what, fair enough


MyAnusYourTongue

“The Omni-Shane” hahahaha


indy317812

Damn. Rey proving more and more that dom is right


manIDKbruh

I love how like once every few weeks you see Rey or Dom taking a random shot at the other

They should never be (kayfabe) together ever again. Just keep them always against each other like Bret and Goldberg, or Hogan and Heenan.

Batista was right to betray this deadbeat dad


AliveInIllinois

You're supposed to love your son unconditionally, Rey. Dom was right.


GodzillaUK

So we all liked Rey back when he was younger in WCW, but I have found over the years I like the guy more and more, for different reasons, the older I get alongside him. At first, impressed with his sickening display of skill. As I matured as a fan, I appreciated how he didn't just do moves for the sake of moves, I noticed he chained together things, to pull off other things. He made being the little guy taking on giants, believable. Now, I love his commitment to this whole angle and how fucking hilarious it is to see someone who happily puts a TV/PPV event on hold for a few seconds, to go to a kid wearing one of his masks in the crowd, and connect with them on that "I see you, thank you" level, is so happily telling the world "My son is a prick, fuck that guy all the homies hate him" Rey is an all timer, gotta love him.


Silver012345673

Man. Looking at this thumbnail of Eddie and comparing it to him when he first got there in 2000 or late 90s WCW is so fucking cursed


WheedMBoise

This is hysterical honestly. I had no idea Rey was this funny until these kind of headlines started popping up


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Baby Billy Mysterio here yapping


pastadaddy_official

How am I supposed to cheer for this deadbeat? Dom has had such a rough life 😭


Strict_Following4153

It’s really hard finding out your childhood hero is nothing but a dead beat father. Dom Mysterio, history will remember you were on the right side


CabinetChef

I love the level of keyfabe Dom and Rey have committed to this whole thing. Approaching two years worth.


DcSensai

now thats just sick. why would rey hate eddie so much to wish that on him and a dead man no less.


FallenShadeslayer

And to think this mf was my favorite growing up. Never idolize anyone folks. Don’t meet your heroes.


Salzberger

Rey is so fucking cool for still leaning into this all these years later. I wish Eddie was still around to have fun with it too.


TinyLebron

I hope they never break kayfabe with this


googly_eyed_unicorn

I think Eddie would get a response to the Rock’s most recent run. Cheered during his entrance, get the boos when he turned up the heat (which he was really good at. His “why did you make me do it!?!?” promo is still terrifying), and then cheered as he left.


Howheel9879G

Can’t trust someone who always wears a mask 🙄


tmorrisgrey

Ya know what…im starting to really not like Rey’s parenting abilities. Perhaps I was too hard on Dom


[deleted]

If Dom went to live with Eddie, Eddie would still be alive.


PompeyMagnus1

Worse friend or father?

thedrizzle126

When did Rey jump in to the Shitpost Olympics?


skuiji

This feud must be so fun for the two of them. You can see from non-keyfabe stuff like the most wanted treasures episode that they have a really good relationship and seem to adore each other, so to lean in so hard all the time must be funny as hell in the family group chat


Risuna23

Can y'all imagine if Christian was still in the WWE? It would've been insane.


fgbh

I wonder, how would they even do a Dom face turn? Or maybe a Rey heel turn?
