idk all this Bad Bunny discourse reminds me of how much Smackdown meant to Latino wrestling fans of the 2000s

when bad bunny was a kid eddie guerrero and rey mysterio were gracing our TV screens and it meant so much to have that representation ❤️
channels like UPN/The CW were on basic cable, so for families that couldn't afford higher TV packages to watch Raw, smackdown was the next best thing.

it was even better that the biggest stars and champions there looked like us, talked like us, represented our culture.
I knew tons of kids in my neighborhood who were super into Eddie. His death was heartbreaking as we lost a wrestler who embodied the best of our Latino heritage.

dunno what I'm trying to say with this thread. I just needed to blurt this out so thanks for reading ^^;;
I am now watching eddie guerrero backstage segments and trying hard not to cry oh no
