History YMMV / VickieGuerrero

* FridgeBrilliance: Whether it was [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes appearing in FCW to support her and Eddie's daughter in the business]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards showing little patience for]] [[Wrestling/CMPunk disrespecting a deceased legend]] similar to [[Wrestling/RandyOrton how Eddie's name was treated after his death]], or [[WomanScorned punishing a man for hurting her in ways Eddie never did even at his worst]], such as [[Wrestling/{{Edge}} cheating on her with]] [[Wrestling/AliciaFox the wedding planner]] or [[Wrestling/DolphZiggler leaving her for]] [[Wrestling/AJLee the crazy girl she already hates]],[[note]]Eddie had a third child with another woman, but he and Vickie were separated at the time due to his drug issues, and said child was welcomed into the family's lives after they reconciled[[/note]] her moments of crossing the FaceHeelRevolvingDoor all had something or another to do with her late husband Wrestling/EddieGuerrero. Even her final HeelFaceTurn and exit moment maintained the same pattern—she was punished, humiliated, and fired by Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon because Wrestling/RomanReigns pulled an Eddie on Stephanie's drink, and in the end Vickie [[TheDogBitesBack bit back]] on her way out and celebrated with a final tribute to Eddie.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Vickie Guerrero wasn't the best at promos, as she stated that Dusty Rhodes said "You were awful, but I still love you." Many people were ready to see her gone. However, overtime she managed to find her groove, especially when partnered with Edge, and she began gaining heat that many wish they could attain at a consistent rate, even Chris Jericho said he wishes he had her level of heat with the fans. Essentially, Vickie Guerrero evolved from being only known from being Eddie's wife, to downright adding to the legend to the Guerrero legacy.

* MostAnnoyingSound: "[[CatchPhrase EXCUSE ME]]!!!" (This was deliberate, of course.) But by the time she became LoveToHate, it was MostWonderfulSound for some.

* CreatorsPet: Vickie was reportedly one of VinceMcMahon's favorite performers due to his friendship with Eddie. She was PutOnABus in 2009 for a while and this was de-emphasized after she returned. Helped by Teddy Long being the one in charge and Vickie only being the "official consultant" which limited what she could do.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: As noted below, she was despised as a character when she was initially pushed as a top heel. WWE then decided to play up her annoyingness - complete with a shrill "Excuse Me!" becoming her CatchPhrase. One can point to 2010 as when this trope kicked in. Notably in a ladder match, she tried to climb the ladder on behalf of Ziggler. The crowd who had been booing her immediately chanted "let's go Vickie!" - showing that she had entered LoveToHate territory.

* XPacHeat: [[InUniverse She started out getting this]], but she eventually started drawing more heat than any other wrestler, diva, or backstage personality in WWE (with the possible exception of Wrestling/MichaelCole). Even when she was associated with then-crowd-favored heel Wrestling/DolphZiggler, she ''still'' got epic boos. Her final appearance averted this, but it was against Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon, who fits the LoveToHate trope as well.

* FridgeBrilliance: Whether it was [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes appearing in FCW to support her and Eddie's daughter in the business]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards showing little patience for]] [[Wrestling/CMPunk disrespecting a deceased legend]] similar to [[Wrestling/RandyOrton how Eddie's name was treated after his death]], or [[WomanScorned punishing a man for hurting her in ways Eddie never did even at his worst]], such as [[Wrestling/{{Edge}} cheating on her with]] [[Wrestling/AliciaFox the wedding planner]] or [[Wrestling/DolphZiggler leaving her for]] [[Wrestling/AJLee the crazy girl she already hates]],[[note]]Eddie had a third child with another woman, but he and Vickie were separated at the time due to his drug issues, and said child was welcomed into the family's lives after they reconciled[[/note]] her moments of crossing the FaceHeelRevolvingDoor all had something or another to do with Wrestling/EddieGuerrero.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[FridgeBrilliance She had little patience for someone disrespecting]] [[Wrestling/EddieGuerrero the dead]].

* XPacHeat: [[InUniverse She started out getting this]], but she eventually started drawing more heat than any other wrestler, diva, or backstage personality in WWE (with the possible exception of Wrestling/MichaelCole). Even when she was associated with then-heel (but fan favorite) Wrestling/DolphZiggler, she ''still'' got epic boos. Her final appearance averted this, but it was against Wrestling/StephanieMcmahon, who fits the LoveToHate trope as well.

* CreatorsPet: Vickie was reportedly one of VinceMcMahon's favorite performers due to his friendship with Eddie.

** UnintentionallySympathetic: The treatment from Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon, and Wrestling/TripleH in regards to her position as the Managing Supervisor circa 2013 made her like this even more. ''She was advised by each of the [=McMahons=] to listen to each of them'', which made her distraught and confused. At a later job evaluation -- filled with mean-spirited jokes and the voting of the WWE Universe saying she did a poor job -- Stephanie fired Vickie on the spot, putting her to tears. In a separate backstage segment, Vickie was leaving, but Ryback comforted her and gave her a hug, saying that she deserved better.
** It got to the point that the company themselves acknowledged this enough to let Vickie end her career on a HeelFaceTurn in 2014, pulling a cathartic TheDogBitesBack on Stephanie after she sadistically fired her ''again''.

* HollywoodHomely: Many a joke was made about Vickie's weight or unattractiveness or "Granny Panties." However, quite a few members of the audience (particularly those of a similar age), found her quite alluring. This made her unattractiveness something of an InformedAttribute as well as the horror male wrestlers were supposed to show at her romantic attentions somewhat confusing.
** HollywoodPudgy: During the start of her regular run on TV (not long after [[Wrestling/EddieGuerrero Eddie's]] [[TearJerker death]]), she indeed gained quite a bit of weight. She slimmed down over time, but there were still a high volume of on-screen jokes about her weight (usually from the [[HypocriticalHumor similarly overweight]] Jerry Lawler).
* '''LoveToHate''' / XPacHeat: [[InUniverse She started out getting this]], but she eventually started drawing more heat than any other wrestler, diva, or backstage personality in WWE (with the possible exception of Wrestling/MichaelCole). Even when she was associated with then-heel (but fan favorite) Wrestling/DolphZiggler, she ''still'' got epic boos. Her final appearance averted this, but it was against Wrestling/StephanieMcmahon, who fits the LoveToHate trope as well.
* MostAnnoyingSound: "[[CatchPhrase EXCUSE ME]]!!!" (This was deliberatel, of course.)
** RuleOfThree: She usually used three of these to start a promo -- increasing in volume each time, even though no one had interrupted her (unless you count the fans).

* CreatorsPet: Is said to be one of VinceMcMahon's favorites due to Vince's friendship with Eddie.
* DesignatedVillain: She can come across as this from time to time. Mostly whenever it comes to the [[HollywoodPudgy face wrestlers making jokes about her weight]].
** UnintentionallySympathetic: The treatment from Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon, and Wrestling/TripleH in regards to her position as the Manager Supervisor made her like this even more so considering the fact that ''she's been advised by each of the three Mcmahon family to listen to each of them'', which made her distraught and confused. Fast forward to her job evaluation. After the mean-spirited jokes, and the voting of the WWE Universe to say she's done a poor job, Stephanie fires Vickie on the spot, putting her to tears. Backstage when Vickie was leaving, Ryback comforted her and gave her a hug, saying that she deserves better than this.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not to mention that [[FridgeBrilliance of course she would have little patience for someone disrespecting]] [[Wrestling/EddieGuerrero the deceased]].
* HollywoodPudgy: During the start of her regular run on TV (not long after [[Wrestling/EddieGuerrero Eddie's]] [[TearJerker death]]) she indeed gained quite a bit of weight. She has since slimmed down, but there were still an unfortunately high volume of on-screen jokes about her weight (usually from the [[HypocriticalHumor similarly overweight]] Jerry Lawler).
* '''LoveToHate''': She draws perhaps more heat than any other wrestler, diva, or backstage personality in WWE except for maybe Wrestling/MichaelCole on his 'better' days. Here's how bad it's gotten: she's associated with Wrestling/DolphZiggler, a career heel who is starting to establish a very strong fan following. Thus, 9/10 times when Vickie appears, Dolph (whom a lot of the fans like and cheer now) follows soon after. Despite that association and not being ''nearly'' as heelish as she was in her GM storylines, she ''still'' gets epic boos. Her final appearance averted this, but it was against Wrestling/StephanieMcmahon, who belongs here as well.
* MostAnnoyingSound: "[[CatchPhrase EXCUSE ME]]!!!" Deliberately, of course.
** RuleOfThree: Will usually use three of these to start a promo - increasing in volume each time, even though no one had interrupted her. Unless you count the fans.
* XPacHeat: [[InUniverse Started out getting this]], but in the last several years became LoveToHate.

* CreatorsPet: One of WWE's biggest examples. Despite basically being the very definition of TheScrappy in pro wrestling(see TheScrappy below), she is constantly pushed to the moon by constantly being promoted to the general manager role(or similar roles) and whenever she does she becomes the center of attention in the main storylines and borders on VillainProtagonist. She is also a massive VillainSue who usually gets her way with the universe literally bending itself backwards so she gets what she wants in ridiculous ways and sometimes even winds up being a KarmaHoudini. Even when karma does bite back, she usually shrugs it off immediately and returns without changing a bit. The worst she gets is usually the occasional fat jokes, even after she lost weight making those jokes pointless. Not to mention that regardless of whether she is a general manager or just a manager, she is always a SpotlightStealingSquad who takes all the attention away from whatever wrestler she is managing, and has yet to help any wrestler aligned with her truly get over, since WWE simply pushes her, rather than the wrestler she's helping. There is also the constant CharacterShilling(more like performer shilling in this case) by both WWE and even the IWC, who constantly use the argument that she is the greatest heel of all time simply because she gets so much heat and people hate her so much, even claiming that she was doing her job perfectly when people brought up the fact that they fast forwarded or changed the channel whenever she came on TV, or even stopped watching altogether when she got a major role. Note that they NEVER mention any other reason why they think she is great. She's never praised for her mic or acting skills(because she has none), her character(since it's terrible, stale, and generic) or her wrestling skills(because she's not a wrestler). She is simply praised so much because [[InsaneTrollLogic she is so annoying and obnoxious that people hate her so much they give her]] XPacHeat and stop watching WWE because of her. While it's likely the ones from the IWC are trolling, it's unknown why WWE loves her so much.

* TheScrappy: One of WWE's biggest. She is one of the most annoying, obnoxious, and stale characters in pro wrestling. Her character is basically just a shrill annoying woman who screeches "Excuse Me" over and over again, occasionally winds up in general manager roles in ridiculously stupid ways, and always sleeps with whatever heel wrestlers she aligned with or manager, usually using her GM role to do so. She has absolutely no mic or acting skills whatsoever and isn't a wrestler(and when she does her matches are terrible because she has no ability whatsoever). Her act was always horrible to begin with, but has been shoved down our throats for years making it also extremely stale. She was literally only brought in as a full-time character because of EddieGuerrero's death, but the reason she's remained on television is still a mystery, probably because WWE has mistaken her XPacHeat for heel heat. All of this is made even worse by the fact she's also a massive CreatorsPet and is constantly shilled as one of the greatest heels of all time by many on the IWC for no reason other than the fact she gets booed a lot and pisses people off, even when they are told people hate her so much they change the channel or stop watching WWE altogether because of her.

* TheScappy: One of WWE's biggest. She is one of the most annoying, obnoxious, and stale characters in pro wrestling. Her character is basically just a shrill annoying woman who screeches "Excuse Me" over and over again, occasionally winds up in general manager roles in ridiculously stupid ways, and always sleeps with whatever heel wrestlers she aligned with or manager, usually using her GM role to do so.

* LoveToHate: She draws perhaps more heat than any other wrestler, diva, or backstage personality in WWE except for maybe MichaelCole on his 'better' days. Here's how bad it's gotten: she's associated with DolphZiggler, a career heel who is starting to establish a very strong fan following.
