Observation about Vickie Guerrero.....

[Nicky Fives]

Ever since she has been appearing regularly on WWE television, has she ever been referred to as the former wife of Eddie Guerrero? JBL has referred to her as "a Guerrero" since his return on commentary recently, but never that she married into them. Is WWE purposely hiding the fact, is it just a coincidence or am I crazy? Thoughts?

Coincidence is what I'm thinking, but it is kinda weird that they've never mentioned it on air.

[KyleEmmott]

I've been sitting here thinking about that, and I honestly can't come up with it. Maybe, they're trying to hide it because Chavo is with TNA and TNA has been playing up the whole Guerrero family thing. And the other one I came up with is, that it's kind of already a given that she is in the Guererro family, so they expect you to know it. But that wouldn't work with young and new fans.

Not to mention she's a badguy and you can't have your badguy being associated with one of the most beloved guys in company history. I think if she went face you'd probably see them mention it more.

[KyleEmmott]

Is she even considered in a relationship with Ziggler anymore?

Kinda. I think they said something about that she's not his manager anymore or something though so I think they're just kinda "buddies" now.

This is what I was thinking as well, but you would have thought that it was mentioned in passing at least once......

I think it has more to do with them wanting her to be her own character and not just "Eddie Guerrero's wife"

[Skippord]

and also they want her to get over as a heel and mentioning her dead husband who was one of the most popular wrestlers ever is probably not the best way to do that

They could go the "raping his legacy" thing.

Seems to get her over as a heel around here.

Since Vickie is a heel, the WWE does not want anyone to give her sympathy by associating her with Eddie (and everyone already knows its public knowledge that she was married to Eddie).

[Tom Guycott]

I think Eddie's popularity, particularly post-mortem, might have a lot to do with it as many of you have mentioned, but not everything.

It might also have something to do with (figuratively) divorcing her from Eddie to take advantage of her Guerrero name.

What I mean is: it sounds more "regal" as it were to refer to her as a member of the Guerrero family, and not say "Well, she's not really a Guerrero she's only there by marriage".

They're just letting Vickie be herself without having to constantly ride Eddie's legacy. She turned out to be awesome enough on her own without having to constantly be just "Eddie's wife."
