Eve Torres Lists The Divas She Idolizes; Praises Khali

Eve Torres recently spoke with India’s ZeeNews about her WWE career, the Great Khali and more. Check out the highlights:

On the Great Khali: “The Great Khali is incredible. He is an international superstar and a movie star too. He is at the centre of attraction everywhere he goes. People are amazed by his huge size. He is a great competitor and a great kisser. I have kissed him on several occasions on Friday Night Smackdown. We have a good connection.”

On Stars Earn Stripes: “We have quite a tough life here being a WWE Diva. Participating in the show was quite mentally challenging. We were jumping out of helicopters into treacherous terrain, water, climbing up ships. There were all kinds of crazy stunts that I never thought I would ever do. The show was a learning experience for me. At the same time, I felt proud to have been a part of an organisation that is working to raise money for our military and law enforcement agencies. Also, it is making the viewers aware of and really value these men and women who put their lives in danger for ensuring our safety. So, it was fun and I am proud to be a girl who has won this competition.”

On her wrestling career since winning the 2007 Diva search: “It has been an incredible journey. It`s been almost five years. I first started interviewing superstars backstage. Back then, I was intimidated by everything. I have been an executive, administrator and right now an assistant to Booker T. I am still a competitor in the ring and enjoy being a part of everything. I love the evolution of the character. It is necessary because when you stay in one mould for a long period of time, it becomes a little boring. It starts going in one dimension and the fans want to see you re-invent yourself. They want to get behind you.”

On what Divas she looks up to: “I look up to Divas like Trish Stratus and Lita. They are very beautiful women and they are bad. They are strong and great competitors who can handle themselves. Women like that have continued to raise the bar at WWE. Today we have taken it one step further. The Divas brand is continuously evolving and I am proud to be a part of that.”
