TORRIE: I Kidded The Girls The following was posted on the Online Sun web site 11/14/03.
If there's one thing guys like more than a Playboy cover girl it's two of them – kissing each other. So when the WWE's gorgeous Torrie Wilson came in for an exclusive webchat we knew you'd want to ask her about her storyline smooch with fellow Playmate Sable. Torrie told us all about that experience, her telly snog with another sexy WWE Diva and a very similar real-life experience she had at college. It's not just girls that Torrie's on-screen character likes to kiss, she's also romanced some of the biggest names in wrestling and even had a four in a bed romp. But the former fitness model told us she hopes to move away from these raunchy storylines and start competing in serious wrestling matches. And read on to find out more about Torrie including her recent marriage to WWE star Billy Kidman, how she feels being a computer game character in Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain and which celebrity she'd like to strip down to her bra and panties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Torrie, congratulations on getting married to Billy Kidman. How was the day, what did you wear and which WWE superstars and other celebrities were there? Jim, Manchester It was the best day of my life. Nothing went wrong – it rained most of the day but when we went outside the rain stopped for us. The superstars that were there included my maid of honour Victoria, Stacy Keibler, Chris Jericho, Test and quite a few others. For my hen night all us Divas went to Vegas for the weekend. It was crazy but I can't ever talk about anything that went on there! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you go to the WWE's other big wedding – between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon? Michael, Hampshire I didn't go. They gave everybody the weekend off and some people made it up there, but it was nice for me to spend an extra day at home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Torrie – you've either kissed or seduced some of the biggest names in wrestling – if I give you a name can you tell me what they were like to work with and rate their technique? Richard, Docklands I've kissed pretty much the whole roster! It's a bit pathetic and every time they try to put me with someone new I remind them what I've done with everybody else. They're all just stage kisses so I can't really rate them, but I can talk a bit about each of the people: Ric Flair – I think Ric Flair was the first person I ever kissed in wrestling, I can't quite remember as there have been so many. Ric is one of the best performers ever and just to be on the screen with him was an honour. Hulk Hogan – I have to say that kiss was gross, as I had to kiss him while his face was all bloody! I got blood all over me and it was really disgusting. At the time it was such a rush that I didn't really think about it until I went to the back and washed Hulk Hogan's blood off of me. Vince McMahon – That was my first day with the WWE and I did a bunch of skits with Vince. I was so nervous because he is the boss. And his wife Linda was there helping to direct! She could tell that I was nervous about it and she pulled me aside and said: "Look this is for TV, don't worry about me, you do what you need to do." Dawn Marie – This was the most sensual kiss I've had. Kissing another girl is a lot more sensual. Again I was very nervous, both of us were, and I was chugging back champagne beforehand. Sable – That one was just a peck, but I remember when we were practicing that segment out the back in the middle of the day. All the boys were running through their matches and she actually kissed me, during the practice, which really shocked me. Everyone was just staring at us, I was so embarrassed. Tajiri – With Tajiri there was a language barrier, because he doesn't speak very good English. It was a little difficult at times to understand what he was doing and by the end I'd given up asking him. Billy Gunn – He's really fun and out of everyone I've worked with so far he has brought out the best in me. We have a blast and he makes me feel comfortable when we're out there. Unfortunately he's injured right now and I don't know when he's going to be back. Jamie Noble AND Nidia – I didn't kiss either of those guys, what happened in bed between the three of us and Billy Gunn was left up in the air. Gosh they make me look like a slut, don't they? I've worked with Nidia a lot, I love wrestling her and I also love being her friend on the show. She has just got such great comic timing and if I could choose any one character to be like it would be Nidia. Billy Kidman – He's the best! I can say he's the one person I've really kissed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What was the reaction of the boys in the back – and especially your husband – to your lesbian scenes? James, South London All the boys crowded around the screens backstage for my kiss with Dawn Marie! It was what we call "a sell-out at the monitor". I can't say my husband Billy enjoyed it – he always worries about me looking slutty on TV – but he was happy with how it turned out. I think the idea of him not knowing what would happen at the hotel where we were shooting worried him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever kissed another woman in real life? Kev, Leeds Yes! Let's put it this way – it was a very very crazy night back in college which I barely remember. It didn't help me with my screen kisses as it was a very different sort of kiss! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After kissing Sable and Dawn Marie and your "fatal four way" with Billy Gunn, Jamie Noble and Nidia, will there be a new raunchy direction for your character? Lance, New York I hope not! That whole thing with Jamie, Nidia and Billy Gunn in the hotel room was something I stressed about for a whole week. I really worried about the way it was going to make my character be perceived and I talked to Vince McMahon a lot about it. But Vince was very much in favour of the angle, so I did it for him. But I'd rather push the whole thing away now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you enjoy doing Playboy – what reaction did you get from friends and family? M Rafi I really did enjoy doing Playboy. I was pretty nervous about it at first because I'd never been nude in front strangers before, but they all were very professional. My mother has never looked at the magazine, she saw the cover but that was all. She is very conservative, so it was very hard for her. She's opened up a little to the idea now. My brothers are all very protective of me and it bothered my youngest brother the most. He's 26 and was very worried about what all of his friends would say. But when he saw it he was very proud, as it was very tastefully done. It's always the people who are closest to you that give you the hardest time and are probably the most judgmental. There were people who didn't approve of what I was doing – but it's my life! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heard you sold over one million issues of Playboy – well done! How do you think your pictures compare to fellow Divas turned cover girls Sable and Chyna? Nigel, Colchester It was the highest selling Playboy issue of the year and did more than double what any other issue had done. So I am very proud. It competed with Sable and Chyna, but it didn't quite sell as many copies. I think that is probably because the WWE's business is down on what it was when they did it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will you be appearing in Playboy again – there are rumours of you and Sable doing a shoot together? Robert Chapman, Cornwall I had such a good experience that I hope to work with them again. The WWE have some kind of a contract with Playboy so something may happen again in the future, but to be honest I don't know. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do all the bikini contests you win still give you a buzz or are you bored with them? Michelle, Birmingham I don't know if I'm bored with winning, that's always very exciting, but I am very bored with bikini contests in general. We do them at our non-televised house shows all the time and I would much rather be in the ring learning how to wrestle and actually fighting. Also sometimes I think it would be fun to be the heel and pounce around wearing the one-piece suit and acting like a bad girl. I've talked to the writers quite a few times about turning heel and I think it would be fun, because there's so much more you can do as a heel than a babyface. Also I feel stagnant right now because I've been doing the same thing lately. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last time you came in for a Sun webchat you said you wanted to do more actual wrestling matches – is this still a goal for you? Jack, Bournemouth That is definitely still my goal, and has become even more so over the past year. When I do have wrestling bouts I have a great time, and I feel I've learned so much in the past couple of years and the only way I can keep improving is to get in the ring all the time. I really look up to Victoria – she is such a good wrestler and came in with a huge bang. She has amazing moves, can do a perfect moonsault and is not scared in the ring. I know I'll never be that good, but I would love to be able to compete with her someday. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a big fan of the WWE - both the women and the men. I know you are on Smackdown, but would you ever go to Raw, as the female wrestlers are taken more seriously there? Annette Udall, Georgia I'd rather stay on Smackdown, I like it better than Raw as a show, and it's taped whereas Raw is live so there is room for error. I also feel there are too many girls on Raw, so it's too hard to compete for a spot. But the drawback is that they don't take us seriously as wrestlers on Smackdown, but I'm hoping to change that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What were your thoughts when you heard about original WWF/E babe Miss Elizabeth's death a few months ago? The autopsy said she died from an accidental overdose. Peter McDermott It was very hard for me because I worked with her for a few years in WCW and she was very sweet. She had a tough life and it's very sad that someone with such a troubled life should have it ended like that. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you feel knowing that thousands of people around the world idolise you and who's your biggest idol? Yazmin Bracknell, Berkshire It's an honour but also pretty scary to think that people idolise me, because I make mistakes just like everybody else. I don't have one idol, but someone who I idolise is Nicole Kidman because she's such a strong successful woman. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your dad Al was brought into the show for a while, marrying your then rival Dawn Marie then being killed off. Did he enjoy himself, and was it like having him around? Richard, Staffordshire My dad was so funny and had the highest rated segments on every show. He's doing well, but he misses the wrestling a lot. He'd love to come back as his evil twin brother! I think he was a good character and a nice addition to our roster, and the storyline was a good one that carried on for a long time. I think that we sometimes lack good long-running storylines. It would be great to have him make a cameo comeback. But the part about it that bothers a lot of people is that there are wrestlers under contract in the back who don't get TV time and it's not fair to them when they bring in people like my dad. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whose idea was it to bring your real dad into the storylines? How did you feel seeing him get it on with Dawn Marie? Adam, Cardiff I go home twice a year and Smackdown writer Paul Heyman called me while I was at my dad's house to tell me about the idea and asked if I would like him to hire an actor to play my dad. But I said: "If you're going to use someone, I'd prefer it if you used my real dad. He did acting a long time ago and is really funny to watch." Paul agreed and my dad was really excited. He was only meant to be on the show for a couple of months, but he ended up doing it for six months. I see what we do as acting so his scenes with Dawn Marie really didn't bother me maybe as much as it should have. I detached myself from the whole thing and watched it on TV, rather than live. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you think you'll ever get to manage your real life man Billy Kidman in the WWE? Also would you want to manage your husband? Keep looking gorgeous. J Brindley We both prefer to keep our work and personal lives separate. I'm not completely against the idea, but it would have to be the right storyline. And at the moment I prefer being alone, as when I'm with someone else I usually end up getting thrown into the background. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you played the new Smackdown video game? What's it like seeing yourself as a computer game character and who are your favourite superstars to play as? Andy, Plymouth I have played the game once and it's odd playing as me. Some of the characters really look like the people they are based on, but I feel mine doesn't. It resembles me but it doesn't look exactly like me. I think the graphics on this game are better than ever and I love beating up Victoria, as she's my best friend. Sometimes I play as Billy Kidman and it's the only time I'll ever be able to do his Shooting Star Press. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the new Smackdown game players will have the option to play as or against you in a bra and panties match. Would it bother you if you found some of the boys stripping "you" backstage? Ben Elder, Milton Keynes No, because it's a video game. But if they were watching one of my segments and kept rewinding it and re-watching then I would be worried. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who do you think is the sexiest WWE Diva and if you could pick any celebrity for a guest bra and panties match who would you choose? Carl Jones I think the sexiest Diva is Stacy Keibler, she has a beautiful body and a great fresh girl next door look. She can be very sexy but also very innocent looking. As far as a celebrity bra and panties match I'd say Britney Spears – I could probably beat her! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Torrie I am one of your biggest fans. I read you had to overcome eating disorder to get to where you are today. What happened? Becky, Bristol When I was in high school I was into fashion modelling and I went to New York for a while. It was a very hard time, I was only eating like an apple a day. A lot of people say an eating disorder is directly related to your relationship with your mother, trying to exert your independence. And at that period the only way I had control over my life was by not eating. I was very very thin and it's just amazing that I got over it without having to go to hospital. I think giving up fashion and getting into fitness modelling helped me overcome it. I started to admire fitness models and thinking they looked a lot better. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's the next big storyline for Torrie Wilson? And what's next in your personal life – kids perhaps? Emma, Norwich I honestly don't know. I've been pitching a few ideas of what I'd like to do, but I have to keep them all secret. I definitely would like kids one day but I am too young for them right now. I'd have to quit wrestling for a while and that's not something I want to do at the moment. ** Thanks To The Lilboys For Contacting Us And Giving Permission To Reprint Article. |
