Found this out from Bruce Mitchell on the torch subscribers board earlier tonight.
The bad news, Vickie is going to be losing the home Eddie just bought for them, that they moved into only a couple of weeks before his death.
I hate to say it but Eddie's death has really affected my enjoyment of wrestling, as it has not only for thousands of other fans but even many of the wrestlers in the locker room. But it's like Meltzer has said repeatedly and said again when talking about Vickie's current situation - we move on, but the families of the wrestlers can't. We lost a guy we admired for his athleticism or his persona or maybe even how he carried himself within the profession, or some combination of those - they lose a husband, a father, a lover, and a best friend.
And where the heck is Eddie's merchandising money going? Brock Lesnar made over $150,000 in royalties one year removed from his WWE career *WITHOUT* a best-selling autobiography, a memorial t shirt, or a goddamn exploitive angle going on to "draw" fans and money in his name. Everyone knows that I'm an "up from the bootstraps" kind of guy, but helping Vickie and her children isn't exactly a handout. Eddie had *JUST* tied up his financial loose ends and I doubt his home in Phoenix was overly extravagant, you'd think a few six figure royalty checks could pay it off, and hell, dragging his name through the mud and making his friends and family do what they really didn't want to do all for the sake of a tasteless angle might actually mean something if it led to helping her out.
They flew Vickie to No Way Out in coach, for Christ's sake! Why not just give her her own chance to join the Kiss My Ass Club while you're at it? Hey, if she does it, Vince can give her the mortgage payoff. THAT'S GREAT TV!
Vickie being at the show was obviously an attempt by WWE to stifle criticism of the angle by her "endorsement" of it, and she took being there very hard and was not doing well by the end of the night. She only did the angle because she feels that it helps Rey, and that Eddie would've wanted that. But her oldest daughter refused to go to the show and appear on camera as originally planned because she sees through everything and wants nothing to do with it. And on top of everything, she's losing her house.
If anything, it shows just how scummy this business is. Vince promised her that she would be taken care of. The house isn't even the worst part of it, necessarily. It's the mentality of being so tonedeaf to what your audience wants that you can't just go with the feel-good, obvious story that writes itself and stands as a fitting tribute (Rey title chase with the culmination at WM). It's about taking it into the gutter and making guys do things they'd rather not do (Randy Orton was *very* uncomfortable with the "Eddie is in hell" deal but it was rationalized to him as, he's a heel and everybody knows wrestling is a show), and it's even worse because while a lot of guys use religion as a con in wrestling, there is *nobody* who questions Eddie's sincerity with regards to his faith, and regardless how anyone else might feel about faith in general, it's very disrespectful to take what was very important to somebody while they were alive and reduce it to a plot device in a cheap attempt to get heat that ultimately didn't work (and everybody knew it wouldn't except WWE management) after they're gone and can't do anything about it. When they got heat for it and a backlash, they brought Vickie in to prove to the audience that they are wrong and that she's cool with it, despite the fact that she isn't cool with it but was talked into it because it would help Rey, oblivious to the fact that being there wouldn't be good for her and that's more important than a wrestling angle. The show must go on, after all. But again, these are real people, and when they die, they leave real families to deal with the very real and often ugly aftermath.
Vince doesn't care about a happy ending for Vickie Guererro or her children. The only happy ending that matters is Rey holding up the World belt at the end of the 3-Way at WM, and if at the exact moment Rey holds up the belt a moving van is pulling away from the now-former Guererro home, oh well. The sad thing is, if that's the direction now, they took a detour into the gutter for nothing. Well, nothing in the sense that it didn't help Orton or Rey one bit, though it did accomplish a lot of unhappy guys in the locker room, a family forced to compromise their principles for a payoff check that might hold off the creditors another month.
All I know is i bought a couple of shirts and I really hope the they get there money and Vince is a real peice of shit IMO
