I don't think I need to say anything for this one, just laugh 😉😉😉

I've seen quite a few mentions of "How can Vickie Guerrero let them treat her like that?", especially in reference to the Be A Star program... Which I do totally get...

But I think maybe the main reason is cuz...well, I'd wager she is prolly one of the most widely liked and respected Superstars in that locker room. For being such a good sport, for working so hard, for being so amazing and getting a crowd reaction that very few do.

Eddie Guerrero had quite a sexist 'Mamacita' plot that was mostly considered all fun, but it was sexist and objectifying (like it so often was in WWE, especially in The Attitude Era)...and his Latino Heat/Lie, Cheat, Steal in general... And something Vickie (and others) have said about Eddie is how much of a respectful gentleman he really was. So for Vickie, seeing Eddie in those kind of plots...I'd imagine she...just gets it, from that, gets how it works, understands it.

She's worked with some of the biggest there is. She's been Tombstoned by Taker, literally chucked from the ring by Batista, everything with Edge and Big Show and Triple H and Cena... Ex Divas have said in interviews that Vickie was always so lovely and really passionate about the Diva division, that she never held back and would happily go to Vince's office with ideas. I don't think she has ever been powerless (and I really hope she still isn't) Dolph Ziggler's said in interviews numerous times that he thinks her ability to get that heel heat is incredible. I think she's one of the very few people who will always be considered WWE family, solid. Vince McMahon did like, 4 RAW shows recently where the ONLY thing he did was segments with Vickie. The Rock's been back for 2 weeks, really hasn't interacted with many people at all on screen - yet he has done two segments with Vickie. One of the main things passionate wrestlers dream to achieve is that reaction... She isn't even a wrestler and she gets more heel heat than anybody. She's said in interviews that she loves her job, that the boos actually fuel her. And I think backstage it's prolly easy to like her because she's not actually a threat to anybody. She isn't a wrestler. She's not in competition with anybody. She hasn't worked her whole life for this, it wasn't her childhood dream. She's just this amazing personality that works really hard and affects. I think she's okay with it because she simply feels that safe with all of them, and I think she's trusted with responsibility and respect that much in kind.

She's also one of the only Superstars who actually looks and sounds so different in real life: I guess cuz she isn't a wrestler and that Cougar personality is the main thing to her character. But in interviews and PA's and stuff, both her face and voice soften SO much. I would imagine it's something that very much reinforces the differences between kayfabe and not, makes it easier to separate what people actually think of her.

During The Rock concert... I pouted on her behalf, thought she was adorable... But the thing I actually kept thinking was she is going to get the biggest hug from him after this show rolls out.

There's a few videos about from a show on her birthday last year. I can't remember if it was a house show or not, but anyway, after the show finished... Cena in the ring with Zach Ryder got the crowd clapping and singing Happy Birthday to her "Let's serenade the beautiful Vickie Guerreo" with complete sincerity. Kelly Kelly came out with a cake, that CM Punk took and snuck up behind Vickie before putting it in her face... And both Punk and Cena hugged her, kissed her cheek, picked her up and spun her around - covering themselves in cake too - and hailed her, raising her hand between them and getting the crowd to cheer for her. She walked outta that ring arm and arm with Cena while Punk played with the crowd.

*Shrugs a little* all Superstars have plots or segments or character traits that basically have their pride and dignity totally on the line; it's part of the business .. And this is hers, I guess, has been for a while and it is effective... It's far from sophisticated, but I think the backstage love and respect prolly offsets it for her. I hope so, anyway.

My reaction when John Cena made a Beastie Boys reference on WWE RAW's 20th Anniversary

Hey, guys! :)

There is an article titles "The Art of Fangirling" about Tumblr going around. My friend told me about it on Facebook. I recommend everyone read it it is so accurate omg. 

Happy 20th Birthday WWE Monday Night RAW, thank you for years of awesome entertainment, moments, and happiness and here's to 20 more! :)

"Well you're all English majors...so you probably don't read. You just get the plot and BS the essays. Been there." - My English TA

The new C7 Corvette was unveiled and of course it's sexy

I really, really wanna see Joseph Gordon-Levitt in "Looper" I've been on a JGL high lately and it looks like such an epic movie. Plus I love him so yeah xD

Rooting for the Broncos (Because Peyton) and my Niners! (Still love Rodgers, Clay, etc.) Let's do this! NFL Playoff Saturday!! :)

Tweet limit, boo. But OMG NINERS ARE GOING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK AND SO ARE THE BRONCOS. WHAT. IS. HAPPENING?!?

Why are NFL Quarterbacks so attractive? OMG...

They're chanting for Alex at the Niners game. Oh, NOW you want him...

If you guys aren't watching the 2 NFL Playoff games, Denver Broncos vs. the Baltimore Ravens in OT and the Green Bay Packers vs. the San Francisco 49'ers, you're missing some great action!

Wow. John Harbaugh is a perfect coach. OMG. Peyton. I just...wow. Well, happy for Ray Lewis. Brb, giving Manning a hug. Welp. Ravens for Super Bowl. Because no on the Pats. Just no.

I blame Denver coaching. Niners, please win tonight OMG. I'm so mixed, I love Baltimore too, I just, omg, Peyton's had a hard year

OK, before I go any further, and I get called a bandwagon fan, I love both the Broncos and Ravens. I'm a bigger fan of the Ravens as a TEAM, but I love Peyton the player. With his mistakes and poor coaching, the better team won. Calming down and realizing what's going on I'm very happy the Ravens won. Ray Lewis lives to fight another day and right now, my dream is a Niners/Ravens Super Bowl. The battle of the crazy Harbaugh brothers!! :D

Forever obsessed with Aaron Rodgers in the Discount Double Check commercials ♥

Congratulations to the San Francisco 49ers! Green Bay won in 2011, so hope a lot of them have rings. Aaron Rodgers, Adrian Peterson, or Peyton Manning for MVP, calling it!  Pulling for the Texans but I feel the Pats will win tomorrow, and rooting for Seattle (because Russel Wilson) and then, my dream is for a Baltimore/San Fran Super Bowl...the Harbaugh brothers! So here's to HarBowl 2013, haha! :) Love this time of year and the NFL Playoffs so much!

Peyton Manning is an absolute class act with Ray Lewis!

Predictions: Peyton Manning, Adrian Peterson or Aaron Rodgers will get the NFL MVP award

And for the Super Bowl, I feel it's going to be the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, since I want a HarBowl, haha, the Harbaugh brothers rock! Great coaches and 2 great teams! 

Ah, the NFL Playoffs. I love this time of year :)

"Only the Golden Globes can be where the beautiful people of movies rub faces with the rat-faced people of TV." OMG Tina and Amy FTW

Congratulations to the winners! All in all, the Golden Globes was an amazing show! Love Hollywood and the movies ♥

I love award shows because they are so inspiring. They show that anyone can achieve their dreams as long as they put their heart/mind to it!

Ric Flair >>>> All of You.

Cesaro, you troll. I love you.

Those Western Sky ads tho.

"Get ready 'cause this ain't funny. My name's Johnny C and I'm about to get money" -John Cena paying homage to "Paul Revere" by the Beastie Boys. So epic :') I love seeing my fandoms crossing over ♥

The guy sitting next to the Pig in the new airplane Geico ads needs an Oscar. He does NOT want to get involved, haha!

Paul Heyman and the Title, OTP

All in all, I enjoyed RAW 20. Rock's concert was very entertaining and I completely marked out over Cena's Beastie Boys reference! Here's to 20 more years of amazing entertainment! :)

"My favorite curve on a woman is..."

At the highest point of the Attitude Era, the Rock would have said something along the lines of "her candy ass". But today, because Raw is now a family show, the Rock says... "Her smile" Wow. Even I thought that he'd do a hidden reference to something less PG. He then said that us guys could keep that in our repertoire, even though I don't personally know a lot of girls who'd fall for that. "Personally" is quite the important word because my best girl friend wouldn't fall for anything romantic coming from me. And that's why we are best friends: because she'd never fall for me. Asked her out once, she rejected me. Fair enough. That's one of the advantages of being friendzoned (ooh, that's a trigger word around here, don't care): there's this girl who'll listen to you whining about your life, and whose only response would be "Grow some balls", and who'd still say "kisses" and send you a smiley face before logging out.

I don't know if it was as the camera changed right at the crucial moment, but to me it looked like when Rock threw a right hand at Punk, it looked fucking real :L

Still disappointed with RAW last night

It could have been awesome.  I looooved seeing the old opening video packages.  That brought back some great memories.

That's what the show should have left me with... remembering some of the great moments on Raw.  But there was barely anything... just a couple video montages.

It could have been so much more.

I was getting really excited for this episode of RAW.

After hearing roumers of old wrestlers showing up .. i was getting giddy as fuck.

But i have to admit i was abit disspointed :/ The intro was great! showing all the old Raw intros .. but thats about it. They could have had a more feeling of nastoilga.

Seriously hoping for Austin to come out and stunner vince at the start of the show. Abit more on Mick Foley maybe? would have been good if he came out throuh out the show as his other charcters.

And lastly .. im getting tiored of these Ziggler vs Cena matches :/ Just for me did not live up to its hype.

Also could have let CM Punk and Rock brawl a little longer. Just my opinion.
