Here is a fan report courtesy of Wrestling News World written by Kevin Guzman, on yesterday’s autograph signing with Torrie and Mickie James:
I attended the Mickie James and Torrie Wilson autograph signing at Best Buy here in Orlando, FL yesterday. According to a friend of mine who works at Best Buy, the line started forming at around 2 P.M, and the autograph session was to start at 6. I got there around 4 and it looks like I beat the rush because not even a half hour later the line was huge. If I had to estimate I would say a good 500-600 people were waiting on line.
Right before going to get my autograph, there were only about 3 people in front of a me when a kid, probably around the age of 17-18, had a seizure after hugging Mickie James and giving her a present. He fell to the floor and started shaking wildly, scaring everyone. Mickie showed great concern while Torrie looked upset, she stayed away. Mickie was down on the ground with the kid along with his brother and father. She held his hand and looked like she was on the verge of tears. After a good 20-25 minutes paramedics came and took the boy away. Mickie went up to the boy, gave him a kiss on the cheek and a hug and said, “I’ll be praying for you, feel better sweetie.”
The mood of the session lowly got better. Mickie was definitely fun, personable and outgoing, making jokes and even high fived me for wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey. Torrie was a little standoff-ish but still nice and polite. The WWE rep that was with the girls was pretty rude, rushing everyone along. Due to the incident with the boy, they only had an hour left and only the beginning of the line had been autographed.
According to my friend who works with Best Buy, the girls stayed an extra 45 minutes to make up for the lost time due to the incident, they left around 8:45 when they were suppose to leave at 8. Not everyone got an autograph still and some fans left very unhappy. Other then the incident it was a good experience, my first autograph signing. Mickie, my favorite diva, was definitely a genuinely nice person and I was glad to know she was not in the least bit snobby, conceited, or anything of that sort. That’s pretty much it, thanks!

My name is Frank and I am currently employed as a 9-1-1 dispatcher and I am a former Traffic Accident Investigator. I am also a certified first responder. I was attending the Mickie James/Torrie Wilson autograph signing in Orlando this weekend. I was about 5 people away from getting an autograph when my mother Loretta observed a man going into an epileptic seizure. I immediately made my way threw the crowd to get to the gentleman. Once I got up to the patient I observed him collapse and begin violently shaking. Immediately, I noticed that he was too close to that table where Mickey and Torrie where seated, and it was a danger to him. I instructed Mickie and Torrie to clear the area around the patient. Mickie immediately got up from the table and Torrie and I moved the table out of the way. I then knelt by the patient and began to administer basic life support. I instructed someone to call 911 and made sure that EMS was on the way. During this time Mickie James knelt down next to me and took hold of the gentleman hand. When the gentleman came out of his seizure the first thing he saw was Mickie looking down at him telling him everything was going to be ok. She was a great assistance to me while I conducted a patient assessment, as she kept his mind off of what just happened and she was able to keep him cool, calm, and collected. She truly was a vital part of the first aid process. I feel with out a shadow of a doubt, that had it not been for the quick reactions of Mickie and I the headlines would read “Fan dies at autograph singing†rather then “Mickey helps save a fans lifeâ€. I would like to thank Mickie for going above and beyond the call of duty. She truly exemplified what it means to be a WWE superstar
