![]() Once you go home and you're kind of away from it, you can kind of reflect. Especially if he got a chance to come home for three or four days and we could talk about it. Did he ever get a chance to really enjoy all he had done in wrestling? He always thought less of himself, but he always had so many people, including me and the girls, who thought he was the most amazing and talented performer out there.ī/R: I had always heard that he took things very seriously, especially once he was trusted with that top spot. Even when it was the most incredible match, he always seemed to hold himself to a higher standard as each night went by. To see how much he loved the fans.Įvery match, he always believed he had the worst match. What helped me standing in front of all those people at first was knowing Eddie was in my corner. Have the last nine years, and the chance to stand up in front of the crowd like that, helped you understand why this was so important to him? You could see his passion written on his face. But I know, when I see them again, we can pick up where we left off.ī/R: One of the things we all loved about Eddie-he was a guy who loved the sport. Being a friend to people who needed some compassion for something they were going through. Guerrero: To leave these people is sad because they're my friends and family. I wasn't any better than them, and we all worked together to put on a show every night. When I walked in every day to go to work, there were so many people that became my friends.įrom the stagehands, to the catering crew, to bus drivers, to our security team, I accepted everyone on the same level. Once they put it on WWE.com I was like "I forgot this person and that person." I forgot the writing team! I just felt so horrible. Guerrero: It is! And I still left people out. It just goes to show that the WWE family is much deeper than just the talent we see on TV, isn't it? The number of people you thanked was staggering. For me to be a part of that was a highlight of my life.ī/R: You really brought that concept of the team to the forefront with a letter you wrote on WWE.com. I felt special because I was part of a team that put on a great show. I've known some of these Superstars for 10 or 15 years.įor them to welcome me backstage, and for them to support me and give me such great advice whenever I needed it was something I always kept in my heart. So when I did start to work with WWE, they weren't strangers to me. Naturally they became really good friends of ours. Guerrero: As a wrestling wife I got to know the people that Eddie worked with. What did you think about the wrestling business before you became a part of it? Has that changed since you've had a chance to experience life on the road? Because when we did work together we always had a great time.ī/R: Being a wrestling wife, or a wrestling husband with all the WWE Divas making their mark on the business, can be hard. I know he would have been proud for me to continue with WWE. Eddie was like "Oh gosh, what have I started?" For them to do some things with Eddie and to not be nervous, it was kind of scary. (Laughs.) But things progressed, and my girls are talented. It was agreed between Eddie and I that I would stay home and take care of the kids while he was on the road. Did you ever imagine, when you first married Eddie, that one day it would be you basking in the cheers and boos? I'll admit, it got a little misty in my house. It was just the perfect way to end my career.ī/R: At the end of the segment you paid tribute to Eddie Guerrero. She's always been my mentor, and I got to learn so much from her throughout the years. ![]() It meant a lot, and I was honored that Stephanie wanted to be involved in my last night.įor her to go into the pudding was an honor, and I'm happy she was involved in it. Guerrero: Anything the McMahons had me do, they believed in me. (Laughs.)ī/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. ![]() ![]() Having a pudding match, it turns out, wasn't that bad after all. (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. Vickie Guerrero: About an hour before doors (opened). When did you know that it was going to involve a "mud" bath? And, of course, it was no ordinary night. As her wrestling career comes to an end and the rest of her life begins, Bleacher Report got the chance to sit down with the former SmackDown general manager to talk about life inside the squared circle.īleacher Report: That was quite a moment.
