WWE Smackdown - Heart Attack Angle Update

-- SmackDown writer Michael Hayes is the one who pushed for the heart attack to happen in the SmackDown wedding storyline. Hayes has been wanting to do an angle involving Viagra for sometime now. The heart attack at the wedding had actually been scripted since June.

The plan was for Vickie Guerrero to obtain Teddy's medical records and find out about his medical issues to plan the whole thing out. The big idea is to turn Vickie into a major heel. At one point, there was talk of turning Kristal heel as well but it appears she will stay on as a face. Part of the plan may see Vickie use Kristal in her whole scheme, only to fire Kristal from SmackDown. The original plan was for Kristal to be moved to RAW. Kristal is dating Bobby Lashley in real life, and when Lashley had pull at the time, he had asked Vince if Kristal could be brought to RAW with him. Vince agreed with Lashley, and Kristal should be heading to RAW in the next couple of months, when Lashley returns.

Back to the Guerrero storyline, the idea is to turn her into a major heel General Manager for a huge feud with Rey Mysterio, kind of like a Hispanic version of Austin vs. McMahon.

Another idea being tossed around to get Vickie more heel heat from the fans is to have her start a relationship with one of the male superstars on SmackDown. The idea is that the wrestler would get special treatment from Vickie, and the fans would see it as her betraying her late husband Eddie Guerrero. The other idea is that the wrestler would be using Vickie to get special treatment, and Vickie would be trying to get the wrestler "in the sack." As the storyline would go, the superstar would tease the idea of hooking up with Vickie, but it would never happen because he wouldn't be interested in getting to bed with Vickie, only furthering his career, making him the one who's using her. Names being tossed around to hook up with Vickie are MVP and Edge with MVP being the likely candidate.
