Breaking up is hard to do. At least it was for Billy Kidman when Torrie Wilson left him for another man.
But rather than sit around and mope about his misfortune, Kidman decided to do something about it.
A lot of things, actually. And they were all really, really messed up.
First, Kidman showed off some of Torrie’s underwear…
…then broadcast their sex tape on Nitro.
Not only that, but he made copies and gave them to everyone in the WCW locker room. Within minutes, everyone from the Jung Dragons…
…to Kwee Wee…
…was watching him and Torrie Wilson engage in you-know-what.
The announcers played up this act of revenge pοrn like some clever piece of mischief (except Mark Madden, who viewed it as a service to mankind).
To try to stem the tape’s popularity, Torrie and Shane Douglas decided to produce a home movie of their own—authorized this time.
But Kidman, cheeky devil he was, switched the tapes and instead aired footage of Torrie reassuring an impotent Franchise.
How did he manage that? It seems Billy used his old key to Torrie’s place and stole all her home movies. And probably some more of her underwear, if I had to guess.
This prank led to the infamous Viagra-on-a-Pole match, which was inducted on this site all the way back in 2001.
Shane Douglas won the match and stuffed Kidman’s mouth full of pills, but it was Billy who had the last laugh that night…
…using his chemical enhancement to bang three Nitro Girls at once.
But Kidman felt pangs of remorse and dedicated the next week’s show to his ex.
Dubbing the evening, “Torrie Wilson Appreciation Night”, Kidman invited Torrie to the ring in a supposed gesture of good will.
“I realize now that I shouldn’t have shown the sex tape to all these people,” said a contrite Kidman.
“I realize now that I shouldn’t have shown the sex tape to all these people.”
Well, live and learn.
So to make it up to Torrie Wilson, Kidman would show a different video from his stolen collection…
…this one of Torrie at age 16.
Mark Madden, thinking this would be another sex tape (of a sixteen year-old. I repeat, a sixteen year-old), nearly busted a nut…
…but to his and the crowd’s disappointment, it wasn’t.
Yet it still managed to be the most f**ked up stunt ever pulled in WCW, being gross in ways few wrestling angles have ever managed.
Kidman rolled home movie footage of Torrie Wilson’s sixteenth birthday…
…featuring Torrie in “fat” prothesis, pounding the table with a fork and knife.
It made Fat Monica look tasteful by comparison.
But young Torrie Wilson was not just fat, but a food-crazed monster…
…who couldn’t even sit still during her own birthday song without shoving handfuls of cake in her mouth.
As her mom pleaded with her to keep her gluttonous urges in check…
…young Torrie Wilson nearly set herself on fire reaching across her still-lit birthday cake for some chips.
Mom fed her a cup of punch, but fat Torrie Wilson wasn’t satisfied…
…instead drinking straight from the punch bowl. Nearly in tears, Mrs. Wilson tried in vain to clean up her fanatical binge-eating daughter.
And all the while, the commentators tried to overcome their utter revulsion long enough to crack fat jokes about the teenage girl.
Back in the present day, Kidman gloated over his handiwork before dropping thousands and thousands of copies of Torrie Wilson’s fat yearbook picture into the crowd.
F*ck.
In wrestling, a great heel can make people want to kill him…
…but Kidman was the babyface here, and he’d just made Torrie Wilson want to kill herself.
With Wilson’s yearbook picture now projected on the big screen, Billy taunted Torrie with chocolates.
When Shane Douglas ran in to help, Billy knocked him out with brass knuckles…
…then turned around and shoved Torrie to the mat. Mark Madden protested that Torrie wasn’t fat anymore, so Kidman shouldn’t have hit her.
Tony Schiavone, on the other hand, pointed out that Torrie was going to hit Billy with a glass bottle (which he would have totally deserved).
While Kidman shoved Torrie’s fat yearbook photo in her face…
…newcomer Reno ran in and laid out Kidman, who’d slept with his girlfriend the week before.
Distraught, Torrie Wilson tried in vain to gather up all her yearbook photos.
As if this angle weren’t bad enough on its surface, there’s also Torrie Wilson’s real-life body image issues to consider.
Scott Hudson was right: Torrie Wilson really did have an eating disorder throughout her teenage years. Two, in fact: first anorexia, then bulimia.
So while the real Torrie was dangerously thin in high school, the “fat” Torrie from the video was probably how she saw herself.
Like I said, f*ck.
