Apparently, the cash flow (c wat i did thar!!) for Vickie wasn't that swell:

True or not? Let's assume it is.

Now, there are two ways (possibly more. Fill me in!) to look at this:

1) $500 per appearance isn't bad. If you think about it there are a lot of professions out that that don't pay nearly that much, AND those professions are usually crappy minimum wage jobs that require much, much more labor.

Also, WWE didn't need to pay for Eddie's funeral. Would YOUR boss pay for your funeral? It would be nice, but we live in a cold world where our bosses say "get life insurance..." and that's that. Cruel, though true.

2) $500 per appearance? WHAT THE MALUCK? Compared to the wrestlers (stars and jobbers alike), commentators and crew, that $500 is nothing compared to what they're getting. Besides, WWE is raking in a lot of dough and can't cut off a little more for Vickie? She has kids, lost her husband AND gets verbally abused because of her appearance and/or acting.

There is that also the sympathetic factor where you might assume that she would get paid more for losing her husband with the company.

What are your thoughts on this?

This makes Vince sound like a huge cheapskate. I hope it's true that WWE is doing more for the Guerrero Family behind the scenes.

I do think its a little bush league that they wouldnt give her more considering how big of an on-air role she had. With that said its impressive the WWE would pay for the Eddie Guerrero funeral and they were nice enough to give her a job...they didnt have to do that.
