1 ) Tasteless. She's the widow of a well known wrestler and she's going to agree to a storyline of her slutting around with guys that she "kayfabe" works with? Her & Edge made out. Once. Now granted I've missed the past few Smackdowns, but unless she's walking out of the men's restroom with Finlay, Festus & Funaki and wearing revealing outfits that do her no favors on a regular basis, then sure, she's "slutting around." But I see nothing slutty about Vickie. That won't be disputed. As long as it results with a "Edge, you're going one on one with THEEE UNDAHTAKAH!" I don't care. Edge: The heel even smarks hate.

I think it could end up being a great angle. The initial reaction was shock and thats exactly what they are going for.
While I don't find Vickie attractive at all and it's fairly obvious Edge is "using" her (kayfabe), it will be interesting to see if she can turn the tables on him when it gets to that point.
Calling her a slut or bringing Eddie into it at all at this point is silly. Even if they were REALLY together, the man is gone and she's entitled to move on with whomever she wants.
I'm definitely putting more positive idea towards it than negative, and no doubt creative will muck it up, but maybe it'll work. I'm going to give it a chance.

It makes Edge the top heel not just on Smackdown but in the company, that I like. It's kinda weird but if they don't mind doing it then what the hell

I expected to be totally repulsed by this angle, but I ended up being pretty entertained by it. It's fun to see Edge back to being a smarmy womanizer who leaves his poor girlfriend high and dry at any opportunity.

I don't find it offensive from the viewpoint of her being Eddie's widow. If you think of her as an actress...if an actress got widowed in real life, does that mean she could never have an on screen relationship again? Of course not.
That said, I'm waiting for Vickie to claim Edge is 'the best I've ever had'.

It would be a great storyline if Vickie brought anything significant to the table.
Sadly, like a lot of people, she's way too plain for the bigger-than-life world of wrestling.

I honestly thought the whole bit was booked stupidly.
The evil heel Edge suddenly really cared about Vickie when Undertaker went after her (he acted extremely worried and terrified). Yeah, that makes sense for the cowardly manipulative heel.
The wonderful babyface Undertaker, after only 1 week of Vickie turning heel (and not really doing or saying anything that evil) assaults a helpless woman by delivering one of the most devastating wrestling moves in the (kayfabe) book? Yeah, that makes sense for the noble babyface.
Next week, the evil Edge and Vickie will heelishly give an evil college scholarship to a crippled kid in a wheelchair, and the noble Undertaker and "Big" Dave Batista will powerbomband chokeslam the kid unconscious, then tear up the scholarship document, while the crowds cheer their noble actions.

after watching SD, I think it could be a decent Story, Edge using her "lonlyness" to get the title.
Makes him even more of an evil bastard

Heh, it's a rather interesting storyline, and tbh it furthers the fact Edge = evil (to the story). I just pray there isn't a live secks celebration in the future....*shudder*

I love Edge but Vicki Guerrero come on. Look I'm sure she's a nice lady and I'm sorry she was widowed and left with not much money but I don't want to see her every week on television. She brings nothing to the table and she looks like she's as uncomfortable as hell in her role. Obviously the story line will end with Edge having just used her and her turning on him but it's just so damned awkward. Vince just send the woman a monthly check (post it on the internet if you want the good publicity) but stop subjecting us to her every week.

Was anyone else unhappy to see Vickie's upside down ass in the camera shot? Poor Undertaker was probably holding his breath.
...Wow, I'm kind of a jerk sometimes, aren't I?

That said, I'm waiting for Vickie to claim Edge is 'the best I've ever had'. Pft, she would be flat out lieing. The Rated R has nothing on the Latino Heat! ...That said, I kind of think this could have been used to really build someone instead of Edge as a mega-heel. I mean, yeah, it's completely an Edge move, but he's already prooved himself to be an evil prick enough as it is. And like someone said, I guess I can deal with this storyline so long as Eddie isn't brought up.

Yeah, that makes sense for the cowardly manipulative heel. Actually, him acting concerned DOES make sense. Had he just run off, he would of killed the ENTIRE angle because Vickie would've seen that he didn't honestly care. It would of been lunacy to do otherwise.

Am I the only one thinking that this storyline is over already? Vickie has been "killed" by the Undertaker, there is no way she is coming back anytime soon after taking a Tombstone. I PRAY that I dont have to see this beast of a woman on my TV anymore...who is home watching over her kids?
WWE is a business....therefore employing someone who is unentertaining is bad for business. I say fire her, hornswaggle, and Carlito in one shot.
