doesn't bother me much... it's a but awkward, but I guess it's a good storyline. Anyway, it's Edge. Edge is awesome, he could kick my grandma in the face and I'd still ask him for his autograph.

Didn't end up playing out as badly as I expected. Edge's playing of the role has been flawless. Especially considering... well, Thumper told me I need to leave it at that.

Honestly, could Vince not just pay for Vickie's house and living expenses and keep her off TV? The whole thing is deplorable, but I don't know whats worse, that Edge is going through with it, that Vickie's going through with it, or that someone actually thought it was a good idea.
Some lines shouldn't be crossed on TV. Having a wrestler kiss the widower of one of your other wrestlers on national programming as part of a story is just downright perverted.

Of course Vickie's going to have relationships again, but I don't know. It just doesn't sit right. Maybe it's just me. |

I can understand that, but she could probably say no if she had a problem with it, so I guess she's cool with it. Eddie and Edge got along well, so I guess it's probably someone she can be comfortable with. |

I'd prefer she just have a backstage job with PR or something, but if she's gonna be on air, I'd like to see her treated as a normal character. That would mean being involved in storylines that involve relationships on screen, and any other stuff the other performers do storyline wise.
Now the past stuff she did, that was disrespectful, with the "Eddiesploitation" that occured throughout 2006. As nasty as the makeout scene was, if it means it's a step towards treating her on screen character as a regular member of the cast and moving away from the slimy storylines that were using her late husband's name to make a few bucks, then I'm all for it.
As for the storyline concept of a heel being so obsessed with being the top dog on his brand that he'd seduce the general manager, I don't think many guy can pull it off. Edge however, is one of the few guys who can. That's due to his charisma, and the scheming nature of his championship-obsessed character.
I can see how someone could find it disrespectful, but I see it more as taking a step towards building her into a character that can get heat on her own, rather than due to those "Eddiesploitation" angles.

Meh, I dunno. It just feels like something that shouldn't be done. To me anyway.

Vickie Guerrero and Karen Angle should both go away. I dont want her on my TV and I hope Undertaker's tombstone keeps her off of TV and someone cool like Big Show or something becomes Smackdown's GM.

I think most of you guys need to move on or get a life. Eddie died 2 years ago and even Vickie is moving on. You are just going to have to get used to her in this angle. I can say that it must be working because you kids seem to hate it.

This storyline would be ok if Vickie had any sort of charisma or acting ability or anything. When you're not a wrestler, not a good talker, and not able to be used as eye candy ...theres nothing that can be done with you that isn't gonna suck.

It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. it just felt a little awkward.
Props to Vickie for taking the Tombstone pretty well.

I don't think it's bad at all. It's a little awkward but they will get use to each other. If she's down with it, I'm cool with it. Plus she's a better actress than Kelly Kelly.
