Vickie Guerrero was a recent guest on “The Payoff” podcast. During the appearance, she discussed how she met Eddie and more. Here are the highlights:
On How She Met Eddie:
I met Eddie on a blind date. My girlfriend knew his best friend. I said, ‘Let’s go to a club so if I don’t like him, I can drink with the nice guy and go dance with someone else.” When I met Eddie at the club, he had the long hair that went past his shoulders, cowboy boots, tight jeans, and just muscular. My friend asked, ‘Well, are we leaving?’, and I said, ‘Hell no! I’m going to stick with this guy.’ I broke curfew. I didn’t get home until 4 A.M because we danced till 3 A.M. I said, ‘Dad, punish me how you want. I just met the greatest guy. I don’t care what my punishment is, I met the cutest guy ever tonight.’ And we started dating ever since and it was history after that.
On Being Married To A Wrestler:
As a wrestler’s wife, you live with a calendar. You ‘X’ off the days he’s gone and circle the days he’s home. When they’re home two or three days, you want to cramp everything you got that month into those days so that our husbands could enjoy those family moments.
On Eddie As An Entertainer:
Eddie’s timing was impeccable. He would listen to the crowd. He knew when to wait. He knew when to go for it. He knew how to play with them. He didn’t care about the clock or how much time he had left. He always said, ‘I’m going to wait for the fans and wait for when that moment is right and then I’m going to feed it to the fans.’
On Eddie’s Mother:
Love her. She was my rock when I was with married with Eddie. She was a wrestler’s wife too. She would sit there with me many nights when I cried and had my children by myself. She said, ‘These are the nights you have to be strong and take care of the kids and keep the house running while he’s on the road making money for y’all.’ She taught me so much about patience, endurance, trust, and loving the business and loving our husbands that they have to be away while they escalate their career. She taught me a lot of lessons during that time.
