Ok, so I know how this will sound…

…but are the frequent Eddie Guerrero homages not getting to the point of being a bit ridiculous now?
I feel like no show passes nowadays without at least one Eddie reference/homage/shoutout, and often more than one.
Someone like Rey doing it? Sure – they were pretty close and it's a nice thing to carry on. Objecting to that would be silly, I admit that happily.
But we're probably getting close to the stage of having folk pointing to the sky and doing an Eddie shoulder-wiggle who were probably born after he died. Certainly there'll be a few who will have no actual memory of him beyond seeing him on tapes.
Beginning to feel a bit like it's just being used for some cheap and easy crowd appreciation.
Ok. My tin hat is on. I'm prepared to be smacked upside the head.
It’s definitely overdone. No smacks from me.
