Eddie & Vickie Guerrero: "Vickie and I have been good
friends even before she started playing a role on TV. When she used to
come on the show with Eddie, she and I became fast friends. Eddie was
always around to help me; in the ring, advice -- thankfully he took a
liking to me. He was soft-spoken, very humble. You'd never know that
the Eddie you saw on TV wasn't the Eddie you saw backstage; quite,
humble, so respectful. He was awesome. Just one of the best
entertainers -- ever!"
On The Road: "When she came back and started playing a
role on TV, she didn't tell anybody. I remember her showing up -- oh,
my gosh! It was just one of the best days ever! I was going to have
Vickie on the show, on the road, help keep me sane, one of my best
friends... she's just so funny."
Heat Magnet: "She's one of the most-hated people on TV,
and I think that says so much about her character. She can get more
heat than, I'd be willing to say, anybody on TV right now. Male or
female. The boos are just that defining. When Layla and I would do
promos out in the arena, it was just the most-fun ever! People
genuinely hate her. I remember the three of us standing next to each
other in the ring and we literally couldn't hear what she was saying
because the people were booing her so loudly. I just thought that must
be the most-awesome feeling, ever!"
The Cougar: "I think she plays her character great. She is
absolutely game for anything. She's not a wrestler, but when it came
to the WrestleMania match, or any match she had to be in, she wanted
to be out there and learning how to do it. She took some crazy bumps:
the wheelchair bump with Rey, a tombstone by The Undertaker... she's
just been in some crazy situations. Of course, her storyline with Edge
was just the best ever. They were hilarious. The two of them together,
they way they feed off of each other, they just must have had so much
fun."
Flawless Friends: "I love her dearly. She was one of the
people I'd travel with because we both had similar routines. We both
liked to get up early, go to the gym, and we liked to be the first
people at the arena. We were always, from the day that I was on TV,
locker room buddies. We camped out next to each other in the locker
room -- we'd have our own little corner! It was just nice to have
somebody that you can just genuinely talk to. Good, bad, ugly... we've
shared a lot of moments together. For that, I'm forever grateful.
She's had a few stories that she's scared me for life from that I
can't reveal, but she knows exactly what I'm talking about. She thinks
it's the funniest thing in the world, but I don't find it that funny
at all!"
Fighting For Divas: "She's helped me through a lot of
things. She was always there for me. Sometimes people get reputations
that aren't necessarily true and she's a great ear to listen and she's
just a great friend. We were fortunate enough to worth with her some,
and for a while there, she worked with LayCool and she was one of the
'Flawless ones' -- and she'd be right there with us! First one to
march down to Vince's office to knock on his door and pitch ideas. She
was an instrumental part; she really wanted to help the Diva's
division. Her being involved with some of us really did help the
division grow because of her character and how much respect she had
from everybody. She helped fight."
A Change For WrestleMania: "She always wanted to get
involved with the girls. As far as in-ring work goes: she was the
first one to want to get out there and learn exactly what to do. She
wanted to make it the best possible by staying in character -- doing
goofy things in the ring, but more importantly, she wanted to take
care of the person she was working with. I remember her being
extremely nervous to do the Frog-Splash, which Layla and I renamed the
Cougar-Splash. Originally, that was going to be Beth Phoenix, but that
ended up getting changed for the night of WrestleMania -- which really
made Vickie nervous. When you start practicing with somebody you just
get in a mindset, especially if you're not in the ring that often. So
the night of Hall of Fame, we all get called into the back, and we've
already had our rehearsal, and they tell us about the change to the
finish -- she'll be doing it to Kelly. Vickie was worried; about
climbing the turnbuckle, hurting somebody, it not being perfect, but
she did awesome!"
Truly Inspiring: "She looks awesome! The transformation
she's had through the years is just inspiring. I can't say enough
about her: she's a dear friend that I still talk to all the time. Love
her and her girls to death -- there's nothing I wouldn't do for her.
She's a true friend through thick and thin. We will always be friends.
Lots of great times on the road: lots of laughter, lots of tears, and
lots of special moments shared together that I will cherish forever. I
Love her dearly."
To Infinity...: "I think her career will be as long as she
wants her career to be. I don't think she's going anywhere. I love
when she's in charge on TV because people hate it so much, and I don't
think there is anyone better."
