Vince trying to get Vickie to forfeit their lifetime deal?

[Crayo]

For reasons publicly unclear, Vickie Guerrero has been subject to numerous verbal taunts concerning her weight throughout her tenure with WWE. Despite the placement of an anti-bullying policy and Guerrero herself losing over fifty pounds, the insults about her appearance continue to linger on WWE television shows. Last month at Over the Limit, commentator Jerry Lawler spent much of the WWE Tag Team Championship Match hurling weight-related barbs at Guerrero, who was wearing a dress with holes cut out.

When Vickie’s husband Eddie Guerrero died of heart failure in November 2005, Vince McMahon stated at a press conference that he promised to financially take care of her family for the rest of their lives. However, rather than dispense money to Guerrero for free, she was summoned to work for the organization as a television character despite having minimal training and experience. Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer was asked by a reader this weekend whether McMahon’s constant degradation of Guerrero is being done to get her to quit WWE, thereby forfeiting their lifetime deal.

“I don’t think they’ve ever tried to run her off. They just had an idea for her character.” Meltzer states. “The worst stuff was when she had already given notice a few years back, as opposed to them trying to get her to leave.”

In May 2009, Guerrero requested to be released from her contract with WWE. As a single parent, she felt it was important to spend more time with her fatherless teenage daughters during their crucial adolescent years. McMahon, however, was livid over Guerrero’s decision.

Matthew Randazzo V writes of the WWE CEO’s reaction in the July 2009 issue of Power Slam: “He takes grievous offence and begins to rant and rave that Guerrero has betrayed WWE. Yes, Vince believes that the widow of Eddie Guerrero is ungrateful to the professional wrestling industry because she is putting her family first. From this point on, Vince’s shameless lackeys curry his favour by pitching gratuitous pig and fatso jokes at creative meetings—which earn booming guffaws from Vince.”

McMahon’s ire shifts on-screen, with Santino Marella and his fictitious twin sister “Santina” insulting Guerrero for weeks, calling her a pig and making oinking noises. The storyline climaxes with Guerrero being placed in a Hog Pen Match at the June 2009 Extreme Rules pay-per-view—Vickie and Santina brawl in a pen full of mud. With the Guerrero character refusing to be humiliated anymore, she quits her job as General Manager of Raw the following evening. After her announcement, she was joined in the ring by her estranged storyline husband, Edge. Requesting a divorce, the Rated-R Superstar viciously blasts Guerrero, calling her a “she-beast” among other insults.

Guerrero was asked last year during an interview with The Baltimore Sun whether WWE’s negative remarks toward her weight affect her.

“They really don’t bother me. Well, I guess they did to an extent, but not to where I was feeling bad about myself. It was who I was,” she said. “We have beautiful women that work with us, and when I was in the locker room with them and we’re dressing and stuff, I would look at them and be like, ‘Oh, this is ridiculous. I’m going to change.’ I wanted to feel good being a part of their group and to live a lifestyle that was going to be promoted with the WWE. Now when they say the jokes, it’s like, ‘Whatever.’ [laughs] The jokes have helped grow my character to what it is. I just kind of roll with it and leave it behind me when I leave the arena. Again, there’s the character and then there’s the real person. You can’t take what’s going on at work personally.”

So he's not? And I didn't know Eddie was his wife. I thought Vickie was her sister or something.

 

[Jose Tortilla]

Interesting read. Good thing she doesn't care about it.

 

[Snowman1]

This really bothers me. First of all, Jerry Lawler, please either shut the hell up or get off my TV. Second, it's really bothersome that Vince did this at first out of the "kindness of his heart", but then he's done everything he could to embarass her on TV.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'd be fine as long as they upheld their promise to support her financially. Tbh her character is stale as hell, and even though she is a heat magnet she isn't the least bit entertaining.

I don't want to see her on tv really, and the fact that she is an anchor around DZ's neck only compounds my lack of wanting to see her

Vince is such a nice guy. :dawg:

She is a great heel, it's good that she's still around.

You've gotta respect Vickie. She's been treated like absolute shit since signing for the WWE.

You can tell that WWE only signed Vickie for publicity reasons - not as a thank you to all the Guerrero family gave to the WWE. Let's be honest, she had her husband taken away, there's a very good chance it's because of the strain his body went through with the tough schedule and drugs that he took whilst wrestling. The guy gave his life for our entertainment and for the WWE.

All they had to do was pay her a decent amount of money to live on for life. For a multi-million dollar corporation that surely can't be that much right? Well apparently it is to that sick, greedy bastard Vince who has to try and embarass her and get that pathetic fat peadofile to mock her every single week for being overweight - which she isn't - and surely to a company who are trying to promote anti-bullying that's pretty hypocritical right?

God it's shit like this that makes me feel guilty watching WWE and giving Vince money.

I love vicky and her character. :yay:

Well stop trying to make her quit her contract. Fucking douche.

Exactly, and the thing is, shes not even fat but Jerry Lawler mocks her about her weight when he is a 6ton ogre of a man. F*** you Vince, f*** you WWE.

It would be understandable if Jerry Lawler was thin himself. I think you could balance a KFC on his belly.

Why do you hate Jerry?

 

[Rysenberg]

Why do you hate Jerry?

Because he's a shit commentator who just buries Vickie and only ever seems to care when there are young women about. He's amazingly out of touch and doesn't give a fuck about anything other than the paychecks. Also he's like the hypocritical heel commentator except he's face.

 

[Crayo]

Why do you hate Jerry?

I've made a post to the exact same question made by you in another thread. I believe I listed 9 solid reasons to why Jerry Lawler fucking sucks.

 

[Robbie Coletrain]

Why do you hate Jerry?

Why wouldnt you? He laughs like a little child at everything and anything a face does but if a heel did exactly the same he would say how rubbish it was. He is such a pedo, just look at every diva match ever when he is on commentry, and now he constantly mocks Vickie about her weight when he infact could very much do with losing the 50 pounds that Vickie did.
