EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 Kidman's Rep Improving, Wilson's Getting Worse The married couple going in different directions... Billy Kidman's reputation has improved some backstage recently. The general feeling is that he is more comfortable in the locker room now that he and Torrie Wilson are married. On the flip side, most feel that Wilson has let her second Playboy appearance go to her head. She has been getting some heat from the locker room since she went to the agents and had one of her house show matches changed. She has also gone out of her way to make it known that she will quit if Kidman is fired. Credit: PWTorch Newsletter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but will he quit when SHE is fired? This could backfire on poor Billy as he might get fired just so they can get rid of Torrie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nater Report post Posted February 26, 2004 Kinda like leaving when the talent gets fired.. reminds me of the King and that broad he left over. Sometimes I genuinely wish he never came back, as I didnt have to get into 'mark mode' to hate Heyman's announcing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilhomer 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 Much like Sports Illustrated is to athletes, Playboy is the WWE diva curse. Which is why Victoria is stupid for wanting to pose in Playboy if they are interested in her. Not really. If she can make five times her salary from one photo shoot, then that makes up for the five years of her career that it takes off. Of course it would be nice to see her in the ring for a long time, but when your in ring career can end tomorrow on any given day, take what you can get when you can get it.

haVoc 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 Playboy isn't a curse. It's called being too stupid to learn from the people who came before you. I could understand why someone like Victoria would want to do Playboy because it's a big pay day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 I think its more of a curse when you are dating/married to someone in the business. Sable/Mero, Chyna/HHH, Torrie/Kidman, King/Kat. One usually gets pushed more than the other leading to problems. In HHH case, cheating with the bosses daughter got him the eternal push and pushed her out the door.

Scroby 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 I don't think it would happen to Victoria if she did pose. I mean she's asking playboy to pose not being asked. Notice Sable, Chyna, and Torrie were all asked before they even said they would. I think Victoria just wants to boost her career and see that Playboy could help with that. Besides that Victoria is hot, I'd buy that playboy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, I could prove my valor and actually try to get in the main event, but there is some hidden rule about small people not being in the main event of major PPVs...

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2004 The only curse Playboy has is ego. They do two shoots and they think they can swing into movies or that the job they have is secure just cause they did Playboy so they think they can do whatever they want. You don't develop the ego then Playboy isn't a curse. Actually, I don't know how you could get an ego for taking off your clothes in a magazine. At this rate, any female with balloons attached to her chest can get in Playboy now. Hell SableMarc is proof you don't even have to be a woman or attractive.

No what Kidman meant was that there is a code with the wrestlers that a wrestler won't steal the finisher of another wrestler that is in the same fed with him. Now if they were in different feds it would be different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2004 Kidman's pretty good...in the ring. That's about it. He's devoid of charisma and death on the mic. He's way too boring and average to be seriously pushed (which sucks since he's gotten a couple Cruiserweight Champion pushes already). Torrie should thank her lucky stars she has a job, and needs to realize she's completely expendable. There are hundreds of blond ex-models who can do her job, probably a hell of a lot better. Her terrible acting rivals Stephanie's, and when you have no chemistry on air with your own husband, that's mighty sad. She brings nothing unique to the table, and if she was fired and a similar-looking replacement took her place, nobody would mind in the slightest. At least Sable had a character that was over back in the late-90's aside from simply the T&A factor. However, if this is true that basically confirms what I'd already though: Torrie is the reason Kidman still has a job. Kidman is exactly the type WWE would normally cut without a second thought. If both of them got shitcanned, though, call me heartless but I wouldn't complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 27, 2004 Wow. That must SUCK for the WWE. If you want to keep Torrie, you must keep the world's most boring cruiserweight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted February 27, 2004 Calling Kidman "too small" is funny. He seems to be as tall, if not taller, than Jericho, Guerrero, Angle, Benoit, and Cena, all top people who are about 5'11"-6'1" and looks like he's about 230-240 lbs., not no 210 B.S.
