Der folgende Artikel wurde auf der Homepage der WWE veroeffentliocht und passt sehr gut zu der ganzen Sache rund um den lesbian Angle:
WWE.com: What did you think about this storyline between you and Dawn Marie?
Torrie: Actually, to be honest with you, when I was told by Paul Heyman the idea for the storyline, I thought it was a really good idea. I thought it makes her out to be such a good heel and gives her a lot to go on. This is all acting for me, and I know Dawn and I both come from an acting background. So we both know this is our job.
WWE.com: So it wasn’t weird at all, even after the fact?
Torrie: To be honest, no, not really. It was just a TV kiss. It’s not like we tongued each other (laughs). In some ways it was a little easier kissing her than these big, sweaty men I’ve kissed here in the past (laughs).
WWE.com: How was it working with Dawn Marie?
Torrie: I love working with her. She’s so easygoing. We can basically tell each other anything, like if we have any problems with anything. The poor girl. I just gave her a black eye and she still doesn’t hate me.
WWE.com: How’d you give her a black eye?
Torrie: Actually, last Thursday on SmackDown! I went out there and beat her up and I slapped her across the face. The bone in my hand hit her face. I was off target a little.
WWE.com: Was it weird at all that your father and your fiancé were watching the hotel room scene?
Torrie: Yeah. More than that, I don’t know if my dad really watched it. I was just in catering with him just now and I noticed as they were airing that he was looking at his plate of food. He did not look at the TV once (laughs)! It was a little scary for me to watch it with all of the boys in the back crowded around the monitor. That was a little intimidating.
WWE.com: Your fiancé seemed to be enjoying it.
Torrie: Yeah. He didn’t have a problem with it at all. I actually think that the way they built it up, he thought it was going to be a lot worse than it was. He even said, “You know. That wasn’t that bad at all.”
WWE.com: Would you do this again if you had to?
Torrie: For the right storyline. I realize this is my job and it’s all entertainment, and I don’t take anything that seriously.
WWE.com: Is your father going to continue to be on TV?
Torrie: To be honest I don’t know. I think he’s going to be around for a few more weeks at least, yeah.
WWE.com: How do you feel about that?
Torrie: I’m really happy for him. I don’t think anybody expected this to last more than a month or two and it’s going on over three months now. He’s had a longer run than some wrestlers have (laughs). He’s going to have good stories to tell for the rest of his retirement years.
WWE.com: You’re acting seems to be constantly improving. Have you been working on that on your days off?
Torrie: No. You know what? I actually was taking a lot of acting classes and pursuing acting when I lived in L.A. I did that for about two years and that was about three years ago. For me, it’s a lot easier to act and get into character when I have something going and I do have a character to get into. Sometimes, especially for the girls, when you’re a good girl it’s hard to find a character and you feel very vulnerable out there because you’re just so exposed and it’s hard to act.
