The latest issue of Power Slam features an interesting article which sheds some more light on WWE’s reaction to Vickie Guerrero’s decision to leave the company back in May.
The article notes that Vince McMahon took much offense to Guerrero’s decision to leave World Wrestling Entertainment, so much so that he feels she betrayed the company. Coming off his agitated mood at the time, members of creative attempted to get on his good side by pitching jokes mercilessly mocking her appearance, which resulted in Santina Marella calling her pig-like and subjecting her to incessant oinking sessions on television. The verbal abuse was capitalized with Edge directing some very disrespectful remarks towards her on her final night in the company.
The following passage was written in The McMahon Quartely Report, which details the McMahon family’s all too often eccentric behavior:
MID-MAY 2009: Vickie Guerrero, the least likely wrestling success of the last five years, asks for her contract release. Vickie’s reasoning is perfectly rational: as a single parent, she feels it is important to spend more time with her fatherless teenage daughters during their crucial adolescent years. Vince’s reaction to her decision is perfectly irrational: he takes grievous offence and begins to rant and rave that Vickie has betrayed WWE. Yes, Vince believes the widow of Eddie Guerrero is ungrateful to the pro wrestling industry because she is putting her family first. From this point on, Vince’s shameless lackeys curry his favour by pitching gratuitous pig and fatso jokes about Vickie at creative meetings — which earn booming guffaws from Vince.
