How....Did...The best Heel in the WWE become...
 

Vickie? She started as a charity case. They were throwing Eddies widow a bone.

And now she is the best heat machine I have seen not named McMahon since Bobby Heenan.

How?

It's probably the god awful voice and the fact she starts every promo with "EXCUSE ME!"

I can't explain it. She just is. It's a phenomenon.

Exactly

Like A Perfect Storm of Heat.

Seriously, anything she says.....wow...

EXCUSE ME!

She's an awesome heel because she's "fucking" Edge, she's whiny and in charge. It's a giant hate machine of awesome. Does Hector Guerreo have a wife? TNA should try that gimmick out on her.

she's not an awesome heel, everyone just hates her, legit

You are a moron.

he's Mike Adamle

Vickie is the goods. I can't believe I just typed that, looked back at it, and didn't delete it.

i would so have sex with Vickie.

In her defense, she has lost a bit of weight recently :naughty:

I've noticed over the past few months how much heat she can generate. Did anyone think she'd ever become this awesome? I know I was completely against her being put on tv... well I wasn't against WWE hiring her because of what happened. I was against her being a GM.

Seriously. Vickie is awesome.

This would definitely fall under the 'boy did we get lucky with this move' category for Vinny Mac!

I know a few people who have asked my "why did they hire Vickie, she is so annoying?". And I told them, thats why. She can really generate heat like no one else, its really kind of amazing.

Alright, but if Eddie were still alive (god rest his soul) and in Edge's shoes, could she still pull this off?

Probably, Eddie was a heat magnet when he wanted to be. You ever see the silent promo he did a few years back?

I have never really liked her because I always felt weird about that fact that she has kind of profited from Eddie's death.

"Excuse me!" is brilliant

She should profit from his death. It's not like she's cashing in off it in an immoral way. It's a job, and she does it well. Eddie isn't talked about anymore for storyline purposes. It's simply Vickie and Edge, and if the things suggested get her heat then oh well.

I don't see how this job is any worse than families that lose their father in tragedy collecting proceeds and donations.
There's nothing wrong with either.

I also am of the mind that the lifelong wrestling community is of a different mindset than us. Cheap heat and storylines probably don't offend them or matter to them as much. The way I see it, if Chavo, Rey and Vickie can be okay with certain things, then who am I to disagree? It's not my family or life.

Hell, why should we value Eddie's life any more than he did?

He didn't value his life by getting clean off drugs?

I understand that, and he was a bit big by the end, but I'm sure there are tons of wrestlers that still take roids/did (do) drugs, but I'm sure they, and Eddie cared about their life.

And I think he'd be happy with what Vickie was doing, better this than bumming off Chavo for a buck.

It doesn't matter whether employing Vickie was a guilt move on WWE's part, or whether Vickie accepting the job was 'cashing in' or profiting from her late husband's name and notoriety (no doubt it most certainly was) the fact remains that during the last couple of years, Vickie has actually started earning those paychecks. She does a very good job, irregardless of who her husband was or what became of him.

That was vintage Eddie Guerrero, using those modified steroids, working himself into a controlled frenzy until the damage was already done.

EXCUSE ME!!!!!!

Seriously, she's they greatest non-wrestling heel in modern history. Team her up with Hassan and there WILL be riots.

We all know she got her job over he late husband's dead body, and for a while we were all okay with that. Eddie left behind a family, and the McMahons were doing the right thing and helping Vickie out. As a bland face I'm sure we were all saying "Cut her a check and get her off my tv, she's boring!" Turning her heel was the greatest thing to ever happen to her.

The only problem I have with her is:

Yes, she is the most over heel. BUT SHE DOESN'T WRESTLE. The only person even CLOSE to her heat is Jericho. Even Edge doesn't garner as much heat. The best heat SHOULD go to a WRESTLER, but it really isn't currently, and that's pretty sad, IMO.

The whole point of non-wrestlers is to supplement the show. McMahon was a heat machine when his character debuted and he used it elevate heels by associating them with him. They're doing the same with Vickie. If you can get more heat with a non-wrestler, why not do it?

Yeah, that's the ENTIRE philosophy behind heel ringside managers.
