WrestleMania season is here and that means it’s almost time for the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Each and every year WWE honors legendary performers by turning them into Hall of Famers and this year’s class is loaded with top names. One name who isn’t included in this year’s class is none other than former SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero.
Vickie Guerrero isn’t a name that was rumored for this year’s Hall of Fame, but there’s certainly a fair chance that she’ll be inducted someday. Vickie recently did a little Q&A session with former WWE writer Kevin Eck for Pressbox and she noted that if she ever does get inducted she would like Tamina Snuka to be her inductor.
“One of them would have to be Tamina [Snuka]. She was my road partner. We still talk at least twice a month to catch up. I truly have a special friendship with her. She was there for a lot things I was going through in my personal life, and I was there for hers. The other person would be Johnny Ace, because he was the one who helped me with my contracts and helped me to know that this was going to work. He had faith in me and was a big part of my career. Of course, I would be honored if Vince was there to say a few words because he had a lot to do with this, too.”
Vince McMahon has become somewhat of a mythical figure to wrestling fans thanks to all the outlandish stories surrounding him and his larger than life persona. Vickie says that Vince was very close with her late husband, Eddie Guerrero, and she became even closer with Vince after Eddie passed.
“He’s always been great and supportive. I’m a Vince girl. We had a personal relationship before I ever started working there because he and Eddie were very close when Eddie was there. I got to know the McMahon family as a wife. After Eddie’s passing, Vince and I got even closer. He helped me with the funeral and a lot of things. When I started working for WWE, Vince guided my character and gave me a lot of advice. Whenever he had an idea — like having Rey Mysterio do the West Coast Pop off the ropes onto me when I was sitting in a wheelchair or The Undertaker giving me a Tombstone — he always made sure I was OK with it. He had the guys show me how to do certain things and how to land because I wasn’t trained for that. I’ll always be grateful for what he did for me because he saw something in me that I never thought I could do.”
