Torrie Wilson Gets Ignored by WWE, Not Wrestling Again and MORE
Kevin Eck of the Baltimore Sun got an phone interview this past Wednesday with former WWE diva Torrie Wilson. Torrie talks about finishing second place on NBC reality show, “I’m an Celebrity…Get Me Outta Here” only losing by 1%, plus comments made to World Wrestling Entertainment and Vince McMahon.
So which was worse, a snake slithering across your face or making out with Vince McMahon?
Oh, making out with Vince, for sure [laughs]. I’ll take the snake any day.
What’s next for you at this point?
I am working on a workout video, which I think we’re going to start taping in August. It’s a lot of the workout that I did in the jungle, really back to basics. We’re going to do a series of them. I’ve got lots of meetings out in L.A. now. Hopefully [the show] will open up quite a few doors for me. There’s definitely been a lot of interest.
What are your thoughts on the divas battle royal that you participated in at WrestleMania XXV? It seemed like a bit of a cluster.
I’m very mad at myself and embarrassed that I agreed to be a part of something like that. A lot of people in the audience didn’t even know that I was in that match because they didn’t even announce it. For me, that whole experience at WrestleMania was kind of like closure. I feel like maybe I’m not appreciated like I would have hoped. They just wanted all these girls there. Now I can understand why Trish [Stratus] decided not to do it; she was smart. Going into it I trusted them that they would use me in the right way and I should have known better. All in all, I learned a valuable lesson.
When you say it was closure, do you think that’s it for you as far as doing anything in wrestling?
I do. I just didn’t appreciate that experience and I felt very unappreciated after all of the years that I put in for them. You combine that with the fact that I asked them to do a little thing on wwe.com to “vote for Torrie” and they just ignored me. So, my feelings are hurt.
