Few could have guessed that the wife of Eddie Guerrero would go on to become one of WWE's most memorable heels in the modern era. Armed with her 'Excuse Me' catchphrase and shrill voice, the heat generated by Vickie Guerrero from 2007-2014 was seriously intense.

Throughout her tenure with WWE, the hated Guerrero was aligned with several top names on television, including Edge and Dolph Ziggler. The latter association was an attempt by WWE to recapture the magic of Vickie's relationship with Edge several years before, but it wasn't quite as successful.

An interview with the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast revealed that Guerrero enjoyed working with Edge more than Dolph for one glaring reason.

While she did refrain from bashing Ziggler outright during the interview, a thoughtful Vickie reasoned that Dolph wasn't as good at sharing the stage with his colleagues as Edge; many times, Guerrero felt like a bit-part player with Ziggler, and this contrasted with the important role she had filled when working with Edge.

In short, Vickie believed that Dolph was more interested in hogging the spotlight for himself.
