On the June 23rd edition of Raw, Vickie Guerrero lost her pudding match against Stephanie McMahon and was fired as a result. This ended Vickie’s nine year carer with WWE. Vickie initially entered into WWE storylines with her husband, the late great Eddie Guerrero. After a successful run in WWE, Vickie is likely headed to a place in the company’s Hall of Fame right next to her late husband.

As a manager, Vickie Guerrero helped elevate up and coming stars. Dolph ZIggler’s best run as a heel began when he was managed by Guerrero. Ziggler’s promos have improved since then, but at the time Vickie’s talking helped bring heat to the Blondie from Ohio.

Speaking of heat, Vickie was a magnet when it came to the boos from the WWE Universe. There were often times when you couldn’t hear Vickie speaking because the boos were so loud. Whether it was with Ziggler, Edge or on her own as a general manager, Vickie was among the most hated heels in WWE. Her screechy voice screaming “Excuse Me!” certainly didn’t help.

dailywrestlingnews.com

These attributes and moments that Vickie gave to the WWE Universe along with her great relationship with Vince McMahon and the company will certainly pave the way for her rightful place in the Hall of Fame.

However, Vickie’s career is not the only thing that came to an end on June 23rd. The era of general managers in WWE is finally over now.

In 2002, WWE was split into two separate brands due to partial ownerships of Vince McMahon and WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. McMahon was in charge of Smackdown, while Flair was the head of Raw. In the last twelve years, authority figures have come and gone. While at first it seemed that these people truly had power in WWE, the role eventually became less and less relevant.

Now that WWE has naturally and gradually got rid of the brand extension and Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are running the company on screen, the general managers were rarely seen anymore. Vickie was someone who spent time on and off as an authority figure in WWE, but it was never quite believable. Brad Maddox having control over the company was laughable.

Just like WWE did with the brand split, they gradually and naturally got rid of the general manager position. Maddox was fired weeks ago for letting The Shield be at ringside during a match and now Vickie is gone. The general manager position had a nice run, but let me speak for the entire WWE Universe when I wish the role the best in it’s future endeavors.

The following are highlights of a new Bleacher Report interview with Vickie Guerrero:

Bleacher Report: That was quite a moment. Your final RAW. And, of course, it was no ordinary night. When did you know that it was going to involve a “mud” bath?

Vickie Guerrero: About an hour before doors (opened). (Laughs.) Of course everyone is deciding what kind of show we’re going to have that night, and the writers are still finishing the show. We find out around five o’clock. I’ve been in worse. Having a pudding match, it turns out, wasn’t that bad after all. (Laughs.)

B/R: You have to say this for the McMahon family—they aren’t going to ask the wrestlers to do anything they aren’t willing to do themselves. Stephanie was right in there with you!

Guerrero: Anything the McMahons had me do, they believed in me. I always gave them 100 percent. It meant a lot, and I was honored that Stephanie wanted to be involved in my last night.

For her to go into the pudding was an honor, and I’m happy she was involved in it. She’s always been my mentor, and I got to learn so much from her throughout the years. It was just the perfect way to end my career.

B/R: At the end of the segment you paid tribute to Eddie Guerrero. I’ll admit, it got a little misty in my house. Did you ever imagine, when you first married Eddie, that one day it would be you basking in the cheers and boos?

Guerrero: No. It was agreed between Eddie and I that I would stay home and take care of the kids while he was on the road. And I was OK with that. (Laughs.) But things progressed, and my girls are talented. For them to do some things with Eddie and to not be nervous, it was kind of scary. Eddie was like “Oh gosh, what have I started?”

I know he would have been proud for me to continue with WWE. Because when we did work together we always had a great time.

B/R: Was “excuse me” born as a catchphrase? Or was it something that happened organically? How did that become your signature phrase?

Guerrero: Excuse me was not planned at all. It was a night I was in the wheelchair, and I had this page-and-a-half promo that was written about an hour before I was supposed to go out there. And I wasn’t prepared at all and I felt overwhelmed.

Sure enough, in the middle of the promo I forgot what I was supposed to say. I kind of stood there like a deer in the headlights and the fans knew that something was wrong. I didn’t know what to do. I just started saying “Excuse me” to regroup and figure out where I was mentally in the promo.

When I did that, they just lashed out even louder at me. So I said it again. The hate that came, and just watching the facials of the people in the front row, I thought “At least that bought me some time.”

B/R: I don’t know exactly what to expect from your WWE Network special, but it’s been quite an amazing run. Some of my personal highlights were you arguing with Miss Piggy, getting Tombstoned by The Undertaker, LayCool, your NXT segments with Kaitlyn and your infamous “excuse me” panties. So many memories. What stands out for you?

Guerrero: I’m so blessed with all the fun things I’ve gotten to do. Just to have WWE have the confidence to send me out there—at first I was like “you’ve got to be kidding me?” But to sit back and look at everything that I’ve done, it’s been an amazing ride.

I thank God. This was a big plan he had for me, one we never expected. I’m blessed. Some of the things I got to do, with The Rock singing to me. He always manipulated me, bringing me out to the stage. And of course my character wants to flirt back with him because he’s gorgeous. For him to turn that switch and sing this horrible song.

– Infamous Reddit user “Dolphins1925” had one of his worst prediction outings in recent memory, as he missed several of his picks for Sunday’s event. Dolphins, who for the longest time went flawless with his pay-per-view predictions, missed on the main event, picking Kane, as well as Summer Rae over Layla and Luke Harper & Erick Rowan over The Usos.

– Below is the official trailer for the “EXCUSE ME! – A Cougar Countdown” special on Vickie Guerrero, which airs on the WWE Network this Tuesday night at 9pm EST.

Hector Guerrero, brother of the late Eddie Guerrero, posted a message on Facebook about his sister-in-law Vickie, stating that she “sold out” to the McMahon family and fell out of touch with “all the true Guerrero’s” years ago. He wrote:

“Lately, I’ve been asked a lot of news concerning Vickie ( Lara ) Guerrero & there needs to be a clarification of her status as referred to the family. The truth is after Eddie’s induction to wwe’s hall of fame she sold out to the mcmanns regarding Eddie’s name etc & fell out of touch with all the true Guerrero’s. She has never even tried to stay in touch with my mother – The true Mamacita of the Guerrero’s. This is the truth & I’m tired of saying nothing about it, but I believe you the fans deserve to know this truth.”

Vickie finished up with WWE last week after a 9 year run with the company.

The WWE Network will be airing a new one-hour special on Vickie Guerrero next Tuesday night.

The show, which will be called “Excuse Me! – A Cougar Countdown,” includes the top ten most memorable moments of her run in WWE.

The special is scheduled to air at 9pm ET., immediately following WWE Main Event.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what he said about:

RAW’s Final Segment: “Watched Raw from our LA hotel Monday at 6 pacific. Loved the last segment but thought the show was talk heavy. That seems like a trend on both WWE and Impact….talking segments that would be more effective if shorter…IMO.”

Vickie Guerrero Leaing WWE: “Really proud of Vickie Guerrero for not only her run in WWE but most importantly for working on her college degree. Atta girl…great Mom.”

SummerSlam Poster Possibly Spoiling Money In The Bank Outcome: “This has to be frustrating for WWE….Summer Slam poster w/ Cena & Lesnar on it made public. Let the speculation begin re: MITB, etc.”

TNA in New York City: “Good luck to TNA in NYC..They likely have never had a bigger series of TV tapings. Hope NYC fans turn out and create a great atmosphere. LONG talking segments in abundance won’t be accepted in the Big Apple.”

ROH’s Nashville PPV: “Why did ROH select Nashville to present their first PPV? Antiquated and not tech friendly. Disappointed that the show looked much like their weekly show. Please Sinclair….buy a lighting grid. Talent worked hard nonetheless.”

Vickie Guerrero has written a very lengthy farewell letter to her former co-workers and the WWE Universe, which you can read in its entirety at WWE.com. Here’s an excerpt:

“It has been an amazing 9-year career at WWE. I started at WWE as Eddie’s wife, and now I am leaving with my own identity. I loved performing in front of millions of people. Whether you hated or loved me, I appreciated every moment. I gained some amazing friendships that will always be kept in my heart. It is time to turn the page and start a new career in medical administration. I have so many other things to do in my life, and the most meaningful one is graduating from college in January. (Phil. 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”)

It is time to say “goodbye and thank you” to everyone from the WWE Universe, WWE Headquarters and everyone backstage.

My first “thank you” goes to my Lord Jesus Christ, for giving me a healthy mind and body to have been able to do the exciting things inside and out of the ring. He always kept me safe in my travels, and gave me the strength to improve myself emotionally and physically year after year.

To my beautiful daughters, Shaul and Sherilyn – Thank you for inspiring me to be better than yesterday. Your support was unconditional when I traveled. I still feel sad that I had to miss so many of your milestones. I love you girls with all of my heart.

Linda and Vince McMahon – I am grateful for the opportunities you gave me. Thank you for having my family feel accepted as a part of yours. I am thankful for the friendship we have built over the years. Vince, Eddie loved you like a dad! He had so much respect for you and it was always important to make you proud. Thank you for believing in me when I didn’t!

Stephanie – You are the true example of an independent, strong and successful woman. It has been an honor to work next to you. Thank you for being a part of my last night at WWE. I was honored! I wish happiness and love for Paul, you and the girls.

To all the agents – Thank you for all of your help, advice and guiding me to have my segments successful… Arn, Fit, Dean, Road Dogg, Scott, Joey, Mike, Kidman, Jamie and Johnny.”

After 9 long years with WWE, Vickie Guerrero is officially done with the company.

#ThankYouVickie was trending worldwide on Twitter last night during RAW – and rightfully so. For almost a decade, Vickie Guerrero was a memorable on-air character that the WWE Universe loved to hate. Her ability to rile up arenas across the world with two simple words, “Excuse Me,” was impressive to say the least. It was a great run.

– On RAW, we saw Vickie Gurrero involved in series of skits with The Authority that ultimately saw Stephanie McMahon vomiting all over Vickie. This is setting up Vickie being written off television. We reported exclusively around WrestleMania 30 that Vickie was finishing up with WWE to pursue a career in medical administration. While she extended her time with WWE by a few months, she is in fact leaving the company.

In related Vickie Gurrero news, there were a lot of people rolling their eyes last night at the nature of her skit with Stephanie. Aside from the skit being ‘classic’ Vince McMahon gross-out comedy, many felt the vomit angle was in bad taste, since’s Vickie’s daughter (former NXT Diva Shaul Marie Guerrero) took time off from WWE due to her suffering from an eating disorder.

– Here’s this week’s RAW Fallout video, featuring a ‘”sick” Stephanie McMahon being escorted out of the building by her husband, Triple H:

WWE has released Danny Burch, Oliver Grey, Mason Ryan, Shara and Raquel Diaz (aka Shaul Guerrero) from their developmental system.

The majority of those talents were European wrestlers, while Diaz is the daughter of Eddie Guerrero and Vickie Guerrero, and at one point was featured prominently on the NXT roster.

The following is a non-spoiler match listing for this week’s edition of WWE SmackDown, which was taped on April 22nd in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and will air this Friday, April 25th on the SyFy Network.

During WrestleMania weekend, we reported exclusively that Vickie Guerrero is leaving WWE on good terms to pursue a career outside the wrestling business and would be wrapping up after WrestleMania weekend. This came from a reliable source that’s provided us with several scoops that have all panned out. The news was picked up by several other reputable wrestling news outlets, which verified the news independently.

On Friday, Vickie tweeted the following about her WWE status:

https://twitter.com/ExcuseMeWWE/status/454986087786504192

Shortly after the tweet, we heard back from this high-placed WWE source, stating that Vickie is in fact leaving WWE, but the timeline of her departure has been extended. According to our source:

“She’s leaving. She’s just working tv’s until she gets firmly planted into her new life. The report is accurate, the timeline has just changed.”

It’s WrestleMania Sunday and we’ve got exclusive breaking news coming out of New Orleans.

WWE authority figure Vickie Guerrero is leaving WWE. The widow of Eddie Guerrero is leaving on good terms and will be pursuing a career outside the industry.

Vickie Guerrero has been an on-air character with WWE since 2005, when she debuted in an angle with her late husband that involved Rey Mysterio and a secret involving his son Dominic.

– It was announced on the RAW Pre-Show on the WWE Network that Brad Maddox has been officially added to the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at this Sunday’s WrestleMania XXX pay-per-view.

– Vickie Guerrero revealed on commentary during RAW that the Vickie Guerrero Diva Invitational, where AJ Lee will be putting her Divas Championship on the line, will be a one fall match.

After AJ Lee cut her version of a “Pipebomb” promo last year on Raw, it seemed like the WWE would finally spend more time developing in-depth plotlines for its Divas division.

After all, the elements were there for an intriguing Divas division: a fresh batch of competitors, a champion who was miffed at not gaining exposure, and a highly successful reality television show documenting every move along the way.

AJ Lee has been champion for nearly a year. Is it time for another Diva to take the title?

Instead, it seems as if the division has been on autopilot in recent months. AJ Lee has held the championship longer than any Diva in the history of the company, but her run has seemed stale recently. This is taking nothing away from Lee as a champion though. I think she is great and is certainly a worth champion.

It is instead creative’s fault for not doing anything worthwhile with her as champion. They have instead chosen to simply plug in a new challenger each month without building any sort of rivalry, with the challenger usually gaining a title shot by winning a random number-one contender’s match instead of actually engaging in a feud with Lee.
