Capturing the interest of even the most casual of fan at the time, for better or worse, Dom found himself in the thick of a custody battle between his apparent "real" papi Eddie Guerrero and the dad he'd always known Rey Mysterio. Obviously this entire soap opera drama was an elaborate work from start to finish, but that still didn't stop the youngster's concerned teachers from checking in on Dom to see how he was dealing with the whole scenario.
