Should TNA Consider Hiring Vicki ?

[ztwhite]

It may sound strange at first, but she does possess an historic last name.

There's already one Guerrero on the roster (or on the Spanish announce team), and there's a pretty decent tag team with a massive spanish heritage and fan base she could manage (LAX). Even if Homicide and Hernandez are permanently separated as singles wrestlers, she could help sell their status as main event players.

It's strictly hypothetical, but she claims she's resigning to spend more time with her kids. One day a month leaves plenty of time for the tots ??!!

 

[Hayles]

No thanks. There is something about a fat, ugly woman, with a shreeking voice that completely destroys the thug appearance for me. TNA could hire Vickie for something, I dont know what, but not as manager of LAX. Its all just wrong appearance wise.

I agree completely. I don't want to see her as a manager for LAX, that was just the first thought that popped in my mind when I started the thread.

I guess I'll rephrase the question a bit instead of making it such a narrow option...

Is there a place for Vicki Guerrero in TNA ??

If yes, what role do you think she sould play.

 

[SavageTaker]

Absolutely not if she is going to be an authority figure. As much heel heat she garners TNA already has way too many authority figures. One more is not necessary at all and it would be overkill. I mean come on they already have Jeff Jarret, Mick Foley, Jim Cornette, Tracy Brooks (well she hasn't been seen in a while but still is an authority figure for the knockouts). They definetly do not need more authority figures.

Now if she is going to be a manager then maybe. She can still garner some heel heat as a manager but not as much if she was to be an authority figure. So she can help some people that are trying to get over as heels. So as a manager then I think it might work but I'm not to sold on it yet because in the WWE she gets more heat for being an authority figure that can do whatever she wants even if she doesn't do it all of the time.

 

[Hacksaw Highway]

I don't think so. It'd just cement their rep as scooping up WWE people that don't need to be there. I can at least make an argument for all their old WWE/WCW talent (except Steiner), but there's no argument for Vicki.

 

[I_Like_All_Wrestling]

I HATE HATE HATE the Vickie character and I do NOT want to see her in either WWE or TNA....but...there probably is a place for her in TNA. TNA fans would probably be pissed to see her come in and I'm sure people are going to be all "blah blah blah WWE rejects" no matter what. Point is, brining in known names from WWE will help them grow, so long as they are cultivating their own talent as well. Vickie is an established heel and that has to add something.

Hopefully they can find a way to bring in some guys, make them useful and leave out Vickie.

 

[Henry Hill]

I sorta feel bad for vickie guerrero to be honest. she doesnt draw heat as a legitimate heel. she draws heat because she seems unlikable. for all i know she really is a very good character that did well with all that heat on her and did well with the "acting" if you can call it that, but really why does TNA need what would probably end up being yet another authority figue? no TNA doesn't need Vickie Guerrero and in all honesty, she probably doesn't really need wrestling anymore anyway.

 

[Milkyway!]

Yes. Of course TNA wants to hire Vickie, in recent memory, no one has gotten anywhere close to the amount of heat Vickie Gurrerro has gotten. But on the otherhand, this is silly to even think about. Vickie quit the WWE out of want to see her children more. I'm sure she garnard enough money out of her husband, and her own recent run with the WWE to live her life to the fullest, for the rest of her life. Put her children through college, and the such. Why would she go and spend time with another company, that wouldn't pay half as good, nor would the croud eat her up anywhere near as good as the WWE croud does, when she wants to spend time with her family? TNA is hitting house shows all over the country right now, in hopes to gain ratings, Vickie doesn't have time for this. She has children to raise. Its not even that TNA wouldn't hire her, its that Vickie wouldn't be stupid enough to go.

Needless to say, Outside of Sting, and Angle, I can't clearify one wrestler in the TNA lockerrom, that isn't in TNA, because WWE would hire them, and they just want to be in TNA. AJ style is your average indy wrestler, that can do flippy things. He isn't strong on the mic, I'd put Evan Bourne at the same level as him. Joe, sucks. Plain and simple, the WWE knows this, but for some reason TNA insists on keeping him around. Nash is washed up, I can't see WWE wanting him for any reason other than hes pratically a genius according to Jonny Devine. Stiener is old, and washed up, he'd be useless in the WWE. Outside Matt Morgan, I don't think theres anyone else with the proper name power in TNA to go to the WWE, everyone is just washed up rejects, or never gonna be good enough wrestlers. If anyone can prove to me otherwise, I'd honestly love to know who, and why they should be there.

Vickie wouldn't go to TNA. When Eddie died, Vince said at the press conference that his family would always have a paycheck from the WWE. She didn't even have to work for these last few years. She just wants to spend time with her kids. I don't blame her, she's a widower and getting older. Good thing realized it before its too late.

Why not? i've already said i hope she doesn't, and it would be stupid for her to jump ship to tna if wwe is truly sending the family a check every so often. but who knows what the dollar amount is on that check and who knows if it wasn't enough and thats why vickie started performing (to get a higher salary)
if she needed to make more money and went to tna its safe to say that a lighter schedule would suffice for her to spend time with her kids and would allow her to continue making money and maybe even keep another job when not doing taping in orlando. now that i've said that i hope you're right and that she is just spending some time with family and doesn't show up in tna. i've already said my piece on why so i won't repeat myself.

 

[Monky]

There is no reason either party should be interested in working together. Vicky wants to spend more time with her kids so there is no reason for her to go to TNA. I'm sure she can make money doing something other than being in pro wrestling and she clearly has chosen to be done with pro wrestling.
As for TNA, they would have absolutely nothing for her. They have Jim Cornette(the TNA management guy), Mick Foley(the guy who supposedly owns the company), Jeff Jarrett(the guy who actually owns the company) and they occasionally refer to Dixie Carter on air, so they need no management. She wouldn't fit in with LAX or really anything else.
In addition to management they have even more non wrestling talent; including Sharmell, Jenna Morasca, and SoCal Val. So, I can't really think of any place she'd be useful. Given the talent they've cut this year hiring her would be ridiculous.
Lastly, I don't really see the appeal in Vicky Guerrero. She was just a management figure that was more annoying than anything else. Every average wrestling fan I've talked to did not enjoy watching her so I think she would do far more damage to TNA than actually help the company.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Of course. As one of the only people on the WWE roster, bar the main eventers, who get's a consistent reaction, TNA should hire her.

There isn't much real hatred in wrestling today. Certainly not in TNA. Vickie Guerrero can give that. Not that it'll happen.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

T.N.A fans aren't.. well, they are, but they aren't W.W.E stupid. The W.W.E fans despised Vickie, because she was cheating on her dead Husband. So unless Vickie debuts in T.N.A, fucking Hector wildly on the Spanish announce table, she won't get nearly the same reaction she got in W.W.E.

T.N.A has too many useless promo cutters that can't do anything else, as-is. Cornette is losing air time as it is now. All Vickie would do, is cut even more time into his on-air spots. And in the end, like I said, unless she's screwing someone, or making you think she is.. she won't get the heat that made her famous.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Vickie might have got her initial heat(Latino? Who knows), because of Eddie. But it was her delivery of her lines, her stroke victim like face, her great chemistry with Edge and other factors that maintained her heel heat.

Anyway, TNA fans are sheep. They'll do what they're told.

 

[Cowboyfromhell]

No, TNA should not hire her. I hate her. Not like I hate a heel either. I legitimately despise her and everytime she is on tv I want to mute it, close my eyes and strangle myself. I am convinced this is how David Carradine died. If you could find out what he was watching on TV, I would bet money Vickie Guerrero was on.

 

[Father:_Polley]

Bottom line... No. Why do they need her. They have Jarrett, Foley, Cornette as managerial types, they have an active roster of women, all of whom are credible.

Vicki Guerrero is leaving WWE to be with the kids. Royalties from Eddie's estate, wage from WWE will keep her going, so she doesn't actually need anything from TNA. Besides, she's from Texas, TNA is Florida, there'd have to be moving involved so that'd ruin the family thing

And Kurt Angle lives in Pennsylvania... Mick Foley lives in New Jersey... Jeff Jarrett lives in Georgia... see where this going ??

It's amazing, but the other day I saw this thing in the sky over my house while I was drinking my morning coffee on the deck. Fuck an eh if it wasn't one of them dat der planes !!!

Of all the opinions I've read, Will said it best when he said "unless she's wildly fucking Hector on the spanish announce table, there's no point".

But it seems like TNA hires everyone that leaves the WWE. The only two guys who haven't shown up at Disneyworld's bastard cousin to the west are RVD and Brock, but RVD says they call him all the time.

I'm sure they're gonna' call and I'm sure Hector will ask and I'm sure we'll see her make at least an appearance.

 

[Father:_Polley]

Still, wanting to spend time with the family but running off to Universal Studios (not Disneyland) every other week isn't exactly great for the kids.

I think people are missing the point of 'What will she contribute'... mainly because she won't contribute a damn thing, so said point doesn't actually exist

 

[Pimpin]

Just no. Absolutely no.

What exactly would both sides be gaining if it happened. It wouldn't be good on Vickie's kids if she kept going back Universal Studios & back & vice versa. TNA already has enough managerial figures as it is with Cornette barely getting tv time as it is & if Vickie goes to TNA, then Cornette loses more tv time & has less of a reason to be in TNA.

Pretty much I don't think TNA or Vickie will benefit from this at all.

 

[HBK-aholic]

I absolutely loved the Vickie character in WWE, aside from Stephanie, she was my favourite female in the business. Great heel. That being said, she worked from the beginning, from the heat regarding being Eddie's widow, and marrying Edge. While she certainly moved away from the widow, to simply being a great character, I'm not sure she'd do any better in TNA. Vickie should be remembered as doing a really good job, I don't think TNA would help that.

 

[Kennedy316]

No way should they even blink an eye at the thought of hiring her. No chance. What good is she for? Walking out to the ring and going "Excuse Me!" to garner some cheap heel heat? Anyone that ugly with that shrill of a voice could do that, so they'd probably be better served to just grab some fat tourist walking around Universal Studios and have her come in and do it.

She needs to go home and stay home. And the closest TNA ever needs to get to her is Jeff Jarrett walking by Hector when he just happens to be on the phone with her, talking about the next family reunion.
