Many fans noticed Vickie Guerrero’s tribute to her late husband, Eddie at WrestleMania 26, from the flames on her tights to her salute from the top turnbuckle. In a rare out of character moment for the Official SmackDown Consultant, WWE.com posted an article about Vickie’s tribute. Excerpt below: From the top rope Vickie put her hand to her heart, kissed it and looked to the sky – a poignant moment honoring her late husband. “I definitely wanted to do something for Eddie,” she explained. “I started thinking about it during training, when I was learning to get on the ropes. The really great thing is the same ring I was training in in El Paso, Texas, is the same ring Eddie grew up with in his backyard.” It was definitely a sweet moment that touched many. Who’d have thought that Eddie’s widow would carry on the legacy at a WrestleMania? Go Vickie! |

I thought it was nice. Not the frog splash...but the thought behind it.

Though not executed the way we all wanted to, it was really a cool thing for her to do.

Yeah it was a really decent moment, until she appeared to litterally just tumble off the top rope.

Well the announcers tried to call it a Bullfrog Splash, but then Cole screamed HOG splash like an idiot.
Then again....what's the difference?

The match bombed as expected... it was the only suitable time to have a dump during Mania to be fair. But, the tribute was a cool idea, with a horrible execution. I cannot stand Vickie Guerrero, and that's not the person, that's the character. And no, it's not her being a good heel, I don't care what it is she is doing, I hate it. The 'Excuse me!' thing, her attempts at getting in the ring, her being a crap GM and the way she held down Edge for a year or more make me despise her on screen. Also the way she became Miss WrestleMania, in a God-awful Hog Pen match, against Santina Marella... I could go on and on. |

Beyond the fact that you were ragging on the Divas, I believe his point was more the fact that you felt the need to announce you were "taking a dump." |

Yeah, Cole was a wreck with the announcing at Mania. Striker too. It was horrendous.
But, it was cool to have Vickie hit the splash. I can't remember, did the fans boo then cheer? It was something like that. I felt it ruined the thought, but the thought is still there.

Ease up on Vickie, that was the most beautiful frog splash executed by a farm animal I've ever seen.
