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!

If anyone who attended would like to share their fan experiences and/or fan photos, please do e-mail them into me at webmaster@t-wilson.org.

We just received a brand new blog from Torrie last night, for you guys. Torrie talks about heading off to Orlando for this weekend’s huge WrestleMania festivities and much more! Check it out:

Hey everyone! Well, it’s that time of year again and I am heading over to Orlando tomorrow morning….can’t wait to see all of my friends! I can’t believe it’s been 4 months since I have been home and sidelined with back problems! It’s kinda hard for me to be going to Wrestlemania and not getting a chance to be a part of the show, but I am super glad I can be there to cheer everyone on. I am still doing physical therapy everyday and my pain seems to be getting a little better… and I hope that you all know how very much I appreciate all of your words of encouragement and support. I love you so much!
I was told about the past playboy sales and I can’t believe it! I think there must be some kind of mistake (-: My store is doing so so so well and I am looking into getting a store double in size to move into already! How exciting is that!? It looks like I will be heading over to Japan in a few weeks for some WWE promotions and I couldn’t be happier….I love that place! Can’t wait for some sushiiiiiiii!
Anyway, I just wanted to drop a little hello and let you guy’s know that I appreciate your support and love and of course I will be filling you all in on my trip to Orlando this week! Have a great one! xoxo- Tor

First of all, let me say a big thank you to everyone for continuing to visit and support the site and Torrie! I know the past few months without Torrie have been hard on us lol, but I’m sure we all just want Torrie to get better, right?

Anyway without giving too many details away, this is a very special post that I’d like to ask you to hit the “Continue…” link to be taken beyond the cut! I know this is pretty cryptic, but it’ll all make sense after the cut!

However, Torrie if you’re reading this, please don’t go any further! Trust me, it’s all good, but it’s sort of a surprise for now! Again, please don’t follow the cut!

For the rest of you guys: Continue…

Yay, Torrie is back in the swing of online things this week, as some of you let us know that she added new pictures to her MySpace a few days ago and now she’s back with a brand new blog! Torrie confirms that she will be part of the WrestleMania festivities next week!!! Read below:

Hey everyone!

Well, I am gearing up to head over to Orlando next week for wrestlemania and am so very excited to see everyone! It feels like forever since I got to hang with the gang and I guess I am gonna be obligated to get loose! I have pretty much just been laying low lately and doing what you do as a store owner.
We have had 2 fashion shows in the last few months and they both went awesome. I go to the chiropractor every single day for 2 hours when I wake up and they put me on a machine that stretches my back constantly for an hour straight and then physical therapy. I feel like it is starting to get a little better, but still pray everyday for the pain to go away. It is amazing that I can hurt this bad when I have never even been near as physical in the ring as some of the other superstars….what can ya do though at this point! I am trying to keep a positive outlook on things!

My store has been doing amazing and it’s such a great feeling to see how fast things are moving. We are already looking into moving our store into a space that is double in size and possibly even another location in Austin. Can’t wait…maybe someday there will be a “jaded” store near you!

I will definately fill you all in on every moment of my trip to Orlando..untill then have a great weekend and Happy Easter!

xoxo Torrie

It looks as though Torrie will be a part of WWE’s biggest show of the year, WrestleMania 24, in some capacity anyway. Torrie is listed for an autograph signing in Orlando, the home of this year’s event with Mickie James:

Friday, March 28 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Best Buy, Orlando, FL
4601 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, FL.
Torrie Wilson & Mickie James will be meeting fans and signing WWE DVDs!

If you live in the area, be sure to go and meet Torrie! I think we can assume that she will be sticking around for the whole weekend and hopefully may make a cameo at ‘Mania as a lumberjack?

Sorry to get your hopes up, not in that way. Anyway, things have been ever so quiet in the land of Wilson lately… that is until now! We just heard from Torrie yesterday, our favourite Diva tells us that she’s been extremely busy with her store of late, but don’t fear, she will be taking the time out over the next couple of days to fill us all in on what’s new!

We filled Torrie in on her Playboy coming in as the second highest selling issue of all the Divas and she was really excited, hopefully we’ll hear more on that in her update! In the meantime, join us congratulating Torrie once again!

Stay tuned to iTorrie for Torrie’s blog comeback and we certainly can’t wait to hear an update from her! We can wait patiently for a few more days right?

Today’s Daily Download is taken from an edition of SmackDown! back in 2003 when Torrie teamed up with rival Sable against Dawn Marie and Nidia in a tag team match. Since making her WWE return and disrupting Torrie’s “Playboy Coming Out Party,” Sable played mind games with Torrie, acting as her friend. In this match, Torrie wrestled the entire match against both Dawn and Nidia and when she went to tag Sable, the original Playboy covergirl left the ring! Check it out:

New information posted by Gerweck.net reveals that Torrie’s May 2003 Playboy cover ranks as the second biggest selling Diva issue of all time - only beaten by former Intercontinental Champion, Chyna! Considering the decline of WWE’s popularity and ratings in recent years, it’s amazing to see Torrie was able overcome Sable’s 1999 cover! Congratulations to Torrie! Torrie and Sable’s March 2004 spread ranks as the fourth biggest selling, after Sable’s first solo effort! Check out the piece below:

From Steve Carson: I work in the advertising biz and it just so happens that one of our advertisers is Playboy, so in honor of Maria’s issue being released I thought I’d send you some info on the best and worst selling diva Playboys! Please note this information is on a yearly basis from the month of the issue to one year after.

Chyna’s November 2000 cover is the biggest selling WWE diva issue of all time. The lowest selling goes to Ashley Massaro for her cover last year, though her year has just a few weeks left it is near impossible it will match its closest rival. Here are the rankings:

1-Chyna (November 2000)
2-Torrie Wilson (May 2003)
3-Sable (April 1999)
4-Sable and Torrie Wilson (March 2004)
5-Candice Michelle (April 2006)
6-Christy Hemme (April 2005)
7-Ashley Massaro (April 2007)

Sorry for not giving you a Daily Download yesterday, but we’re back today with another classic Torrie moment. For today’s Download, we look back at the storied friendship and rivalry of off-air BFFs, Torrie and Stacy Keibler. Long before she danced her way into Hollywood, Stacy and Torrie were seen duking it out on WWE television and one of their very first singles encounters took place at No Mercy 2001, when they competed in the first ever Lingerie Match:

If you’ll remember, last month we reported that Torrie was listed for a SmackDown! live event last night in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I know I certainly had hoped for a Torrie comeback, but alas it wasn’t to be. Torrie wasn’t in attendance at last night’s show.

Like I said before, these schedules are made months in advance and are only a tentative line-up, not definite. It would seem Torrie is still on the injured list, so I’d like to take this moment to wish her our best once again! So please join us in wishing Torrie well!
