Vickie Guerrero Says Chris Benoit Should be in Hall of Fame
Chris Benoit… A name that often causes much debate amongst wrestling fans for, well, obvious reasons. But, while many feel that he should never get top honors, there are some that still feel he deserves his honors. One such supporter? None other than Vickie Guererro.
In an interview with Chris Van Vilet, the former WWE personality spoke about a number of different subjects. Topics that ranged from Benoit, to her in-ring persona, to Sasha Banks’ homage to her late husband.
When speaking about the fans’ reaction to her character:
“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.”
On whether Chris Benoit deserves a Hall of Fame induction:
“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.”
She also displayed nothing but love for 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.”
