7 Notoriously Hated WWE Storylines (That Weren't Actually So Bad)

7. Eddie Guerrero And Rey Mysterio Fight For The Custody Of A Child

WWE has always described itself as something of a soap opera, and never has that mentality been more apparent than when two grown men literally fought for the custody of a little boy in a ladder match. A briefcase that contained legal documents was suspended above the ring, and whoever climbed the ladder and grabbed the briefcase would be the legal guardian of this 8-year-old boy.

So yeah, this didn't have the classiest result. Throw in an infamous missed spot by Vickie Guerrero (dammit, Vickie!) and it's no wonder so many fans hated this storyline.

Setting aside how ludicrous it is to settle a custody battle via a ladder match, this was actually one of the more entertaining feuds of 2005. Eddie is never better than when he's acting like a villainous so and so and this was the perfect opportunity for him to embrace the seedier sides of his heel character.

You also have to give major props to Dominic, who did an excellent job portraying the terrified subject of this "legal" battle.

And that's not to mention the amazing matches these two had during their feud. Again, one missed interference spot does not negate their epic ladder match, nor should it take away from the displays Eddie and Rey put on night after night.
