How did World Wrestling Entertainment 'Exploit' Eddie Guerrero and Connor The Crusher Michalek Deaths?
Well they did kind of exploit Eddie's death. They had Randy Orton say he was in hell. They had Rey Mysterio win the Royal Rumble and eventually the WHC. Vince McMahon wasn't even sold on Rey. He had to be convinced by a writer to push him. They used Eddie's death as storylines for Rey and Chavo. Connor on the other hand is kind of a different story. Connor was a kid who got to meet his hero. It got headlines. When he died, WWE felt that they should honor him with the Warrior Award. They were there for Connor's dad through probably the most difficult time in his life. They didn't really profit off of his name.
THey did it with Eddie in 2005 when Rey Mysterio was looking up to the heaven and randy said Why are you looking up there, eddie is in hell. they also did it again in 2010 with Batista and Rey Mysterio feud.
They used eddies death in storyplots months after he died, even leading into their biggest event wrestlemania as an attempt to get Rey mysterio over more as a face and randy orton over more as a heel, to generate more interest in the world championship match and more buys for the ppv, and we don't need to get into everything they did because you should know it, and if you don't you can rewatch it on the wwe network for 9.99. I've never seen anything bad about Connor, I wouldn't even of knew he was inducted in wwe's hall of fame or anything like that if someone didn't mention it. From what I've seen they have promoted finding a cure for Connors cancer he died from. They never exploited him from what I've seen, unless you call raising awareness about Connors cure exploitation.
