In the real world, when the parentage of a child is contested, the issue is usually taken to court, where the representation of each party presents the evidence to the judge, who makes a decision of who should have custody of the said child. This decision is based on official statutes and legal precedent.
Just kidding. It's settled in a fight between two guys to see who can be the first to climb up a ladder. Everybody knows this.
By 2005, Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero had already been involved in numerous programs together, both as a team and in feuds - and in two different companies, for that matter. They were set to feud again that year, but they needed something to make this one special.
It was special, all right.
During the feud, Guerrero revealed that he was actually the father of Mysterio's son, Dominick.
To settle the matter, the two would slug it out in a ladder match, where the winner would gain custody of the boy. Both Guerrero and Mysterio's actual family were involved in the feud, which I'm sure had to not be uncomfortable for any of them at all.
The match itself was actually pretty good, as matches between the two usually were. While you're watching the match, however, just stop to think - really think - about the premise of the story behind the match - and just how weird it is.
It's just too bad Harvard-educated lawyer David Otunga wasn't there to provide commentary.
Mysterio went on to win the bout to establish his rightful paternity claim over Dominik and the latter is now a professional wrestler currently signed to the WWE.
