Vickie Guerrero reveals the surprising origin behind her “EXCUSE ME!” catchphrase.
Former SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero was a recent guest on WWE Retrospective for their Vault YouTube Channel. Guerrero recalled her debut as a character on WWE programming and admitted that she was horrible. Luckily, multiple Hall of Famers helped put her on the right path.
“After Eddie’s passing, I came to WWE for two months,” Guerrero recalled. “It was just to be for two months, just to get Eddie’s name to be remembered by the fans,” she stated. “But then it just built. And they’re like, ‘Well, let’s try a year contract.’ I was like, ‘Sure.’ And then a year turned into five, and then it’s here I am again. It’s been 20 years.
“My character at the beginning sucked. I was horrible. From Teddy Long to Dusty Rhodes to Undertaker, they would tell me, ‘You’re horrible, you suck. Your camera work is bad.’ And through those people, they coached me, and they helped me night after night.”
One part of her character that ended up catching fire was her “EXCUSE ME!” catchphrase. Surprisingly, this iconic tagline came about by accident.
“I had all these revisions in my head, and I was cued to start, and I forgot my lines,” Guerrero revealed. “The fans caught on right away… I looked at this one particular guy, and he was flipping me off… and I just looked at him, ‘Excuse me!’” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
