Dude your interviews are awesome. Been watching wrestling documentaries, podcasts, and every other wrestling thing I can get a hold of for almost 40 years now, and I have to say that these interviews you do are some of the best as you dig into some good deep stuff and do it in less than an hour. Well done and keep it up.
Hearing about all the anxiety and stress that Torrie went through in her career just makes me want to give her a hug and thank her.

You know what I dont get about all this Vince lawsuit thing. The chick he hired could have quit the moment he started doing whatever it was he did. She accepted the gifts, the money and she agreed to sign the NDA. No one forced her to do anything she did not want to do. Now Im not agreeing with what Vince did or has done. He has more skeletons in his closet then anyone with all the crap WWE has pulled over the years. But I just want to say Janel Grant is not innocent in any of this either.

@@violentbryan21Other than it being morally abhorrent, it seems Vince stopped paying in accordance to their terms signed in the NDA. Which gave her what she needed to file the lawsuit. Now Vince may argue she broke so he stopped paying. He clearly thought he was invincible and thought he would get by unscathed.
Its crazy listening to her. You can tell to this day she's traumatized, some what ashamed, and not too confident about her time there. Goes to show they weren't treating her right in there. Im just happy shes still here!

I really love that Chris has a platform to make a lot of us revisit our childhood and get answers to questions that were unanswered when growing up. I wondered so many things about these superstars' lives and personalities. I love this interview and Torrie is just such a pure and humble human being.
As always, a great interview by the legendary Chris Van Vliet!!
they took her down many different paths in wwe and she did them well !!! Another Great interview in the archives CVV !!! Rock On Brother !!!

We all would had appreciated if they created the Diva's Championship or some form of Women's Championship on Smackdown and crown her as the first. Then have a solid interpromotional match against Trish Stratus (as the Women's Champion) at Wrestlemania. I agree with you. Lol Torrie Wilson was Smackdown's equivalent to Raw's Trish Stratus. The Battle of The Bombshells.
Chris approaches all his interviews with such sincerity and empathy that is really wholesome. You can tell that Torrie is torn with regards to her time in WWE.

I remember wanting to be like the divas when I was a little girl but cringing so hard because of their bikini contests or bras and panties matches. It’s incredible what Vince and crew put these ladies through. I did love when Torrie began wrestling more.
She’s awesome! I was lucky to meet her in Toronto at Pearson Airport in the Customs hall. Glad to see she’s doing well.
Always loved Torrie. Awesome episode.
CVV gets more of the modern wrestler interviews, and WSI gets the old school 80’s ones. Best of both worlds.

Thanks so much for this interview Chris! Torrie, Dawn, Nidia, & Shaniqua were the only women’s wrestling I could watch from 02-03 because I didn’t have access to TNN/Spike TV. I always saw and appreciated how hard they worked to put matches together seeing as all of them had limited wrestling experience. Whether it was straight up wrestling matches or the T&A matches, they tried so hard to put as much wrestling into their matches as they could to entertain the fans and I was thoroughly entertained. It’s such a shame that they get crap from fans today because of the weird T&A stuff they had to do as if they weren’t talented or as if they were useless. They did what they could with what they were given.
