Sometimes, all it takes are two words to polarize an audience. In the case of Vickie Guerrero, those two words are, “Excuse me!” Barking the phrase out to a disinterested audience, Guerrero’s voice rises in pitch and intensity as a chorus of boos attempt to drown her out. This simple act makes her the most reviled managers in the history of WWE.
When the widow of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero joined the company in 2007, it was as the assistant to SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long. Few would have imagined that beneath the exterior of this simple, winsome homemaker lurked a cunning animal whose multicolored nails would prove to be claws, hacking and slashing at the fabric of WWE.
Aligning herself with Edge, the villainous Guerrero formed La Familia, a stable designed to overtake SmackDown one match at a time. Enduring scandal after scandal, Vickie was known for romantically fraternizing with the pool of talent on the roster she governed. This has included the likes of The Rated-R Superstar – her estranged husband – Edge, who routinely capitalized on his wife's position to empower himself and secure a slew of World Title reigns.
Eventually, her devious tactics propelled Guerrero to the position of GM of both SmackDown and Raw. Finally, in 2009, the WWE Board of Directors demanded that Guerrero choose just one show to run, which led The Queen of Cougardom choosing the red-hued Monday night brand the night after The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. Only two months later, she stepped down in distress and disgust with the WWE Universe.
After a brief hiatus from WWE in 2009, Vickie returned as the Official Consultant to SmackDown, where she formed a close friendship with Team Lay-Cool (Michelle McCool & Layla) and finally stepped into action for the first time herself. At WrestleMania XXVI, she even adapted a move from her late, great husband's arsenal, diving from the top rope to execute the "Cougar Splash" on Kelly Kelly.
Guerrero has since devoted her services to Dolph Ziggler (who Vickie managed to a brief yet history-making, one-night World Heavyweight Title reign) as well as former World Champion Jack Swagger. Devious, shrewd and willing to use either her brains or her beauty to get what she wants, Vickie’s piercing proclamations and deceitful machinations have made her the go-to target for the WWE Universe’s hatred.
