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!

A big thank you to my amazing friend Erin at Melina-Perez.org for today’s Daily Download video. We have Torrie taking on Melina on the October 9th, 2006 edition of RAW. It was a first round match in the WWE Women’s Championship Tournament after the title was vacated, due to Trish Stratus’ retirement. In this Lumberjill Match, several WWE Divas - who would be involved in “Extreme Strip Poker” the next night on ECW - surrounded the ring. Though Torrie lost the match and her place in the tournament, she gained a big pop for giving Kristal a Facial!

Daily Download (”YouTube Edition”) continues today, with a match from RAW in the summer of 2006. The bout was between Torrie and Lita, who made her active return to the ring around the same time after months of serving solely as Edge’s manager. 2006 was a great year for Torrie as she showed how far she’d come as in an in-ring performer putting on great quality matches with the likes of Lita, Victoria and Mickie James. Though she lost the match, this match was a nice retrospective moment seeing two of WWE’s veteran Divas lock up:

Daily Download returns to iTorrie… kind of! We’re diving into the history books and pulling out our favourite, monumentus clips from Torrie’s career! While Josh prepares his usual Daily Download, allowing you to download clips etc. I thought I’d get the party started and where better to find any clip you could possibly imagine than YouTube?

Today’s Daily “Download” is Playboy-themed in light of Maria’s recent Playboy unveiling on RAW. In May 2003, Torrie became the first WWE Diva to pose for Playboy in some years as she pioneered the synergy between Playboy and WWE that has led to a Diva pose for Playboy every year since her first cover. And before there were unveilings from Christy, Candice, Ashley and Maria… there was Torrie’s “Coming Out Party” which packed quite the punch - the return of Sable! Arguably one of the best Playboy storylines the WWE has ever done - this storyline from the outset with the shocking return of a legendary Diva, was explosive! The rivalry between Torrie and Sable on SmackDown! was all kinds of cool and as they say, it started with a kiss…
