2. Exploiting Eddie Guerrero’s death
Eddie’s death was one of the most shocking moments in the history of WWE. Fans were left stunned as their favourite star was no more. WWE however considered this an opportunity to make a storyline and cash in on it.
Rey Mysterio, Edge and Vickie Guerrero were involved in a feud that used Eddie’s death as feul. Chavo apparently was upset with Mysterio who he thought was living in the shadow of his brother.
Chavo said that Eddie should have put him over rather than Rey, thus triggering the feud between the two. Though the storyline doesn’t sound bad till now, things took a real disgraceful turn when Eddie’s real life widow Vickie Guerrero was brought into the picture.
Vickie and WWE stooped really low as they used Eddie’s death as a tool for a heel turn as Vickie sided with Chavo in the storyline.
Eddie’s fans were so disgusted by how low a company could get to make money. Even Vickie Guerrero didn’t seem fazed by the fact that her husband and a respected man’s image was being tarnished to this extent.
