Vickie Guerrero was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet. During the interview, she spoke on a variety of topics, including if Chris Benoit should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
Vickie on the backlash that she suffered for being a character in WWE following Eddie’s death:
“I had the odds against me. I was Eddie’s wife and everybody thought I was being handed the job because he passed away. There were just a lot of things against me so I had to earn my way to have the love from the fans and find a character that was going to work with me. When they found this character with Edge, it all just started falling into place and we had a good time with it. I think fans hated me because they were thinking ‘How could Eddie’s wife go and work in the WWE after he passed away?’ But I did have a little bit of history of working with him before.”
Vickie on if she feels like Chris Benoit is Hall of Fame worthy:
“It’s a sad situation. I loved Chris Benoit. His family was our family. His wife Nancy, we were close friends and their son Daniel and we were all really close. I wasn’t there when it happened and I don’t understand why it happened but I still love him. Aside from all of that, he loved us and he respected us. He was a talented wrestler and he had his own legacy and I think that it shouldn’t be ignored and it’s sad how things turned out but I would like to see him inducted into the Hall of Fame.’”
Vickie on Sasha Banks:
“She’s incredible. I got to finally work with her and sit down and talk to her at last year’s Royal Rumble, the first ever for the women. She’s incredible and such a fantastic person and we had a great time sitting down and talking.”
