"Vickie? Where art thou my love?"

It wasn't quite as polite as that.

At SummerSlam 2005, Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio fought for custody of Dominick. It was a preposterous premise that followed a preposterous story that would not be as fondly remembered as it is, if the principals involved were not pro wrestling royalty - even if the two legends never could replicate their barnstorming WCW chemistry in a WWE ring. It was impossible for them not to have a very good match, but, as a result of ill-fitting masks and inexperienced ringside seconds, they didn't work a true classic.

The match at SummerSlam, which f*ck knows what social services would have thought of, went a bit long and the ladder didn't cooperate at times. It is memorable only for an infamous botch in which Eddie turned the airwaves blue in a state of abject fury.

He seemed to want out of the arrangement, perhaps as a result of Dom's failure to improve much beyond a very auspicious start against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2020.

And so, when Vickie failed to make her cue and topple him from the ladder, he screamed "Where the f*ck was Vickie?" very loudly after he had to improvise the fall with Rey.
