Shane Douglas V Scott Overhosen

| Douglas & Torrie with Mean Gene |
For our latest entry we catch up with Torrie Wilson during her period managing 'The Franchise' Shane Douglas in WCW. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, Torrie would prove to be a very useful addition for Douglas for his matches, as this example shows.

| Mocking Billy Kidman... |
Prior to the match with Scott Overhosen, Douglas and Wilson are interviewed by Mean Gene Okerland (1:58 in), during which Torrie mocks her former beau Billy Kidman, who would soon be facing Douglas at the New Blood Rising PPV.
With the overmatched Overhosen having made his way to the ring, Douglas makes his ringwalk accompanied by the beautiful Torrie. The blonde valet poses to the crowd, before a passionate embrace with The Franchise signals her departure ringside. The commentators then highlight that the match is Overhosen's WCW debut, making him easy pickings for a wrestler of Douglas's experience, and vulnerable to the interventions of his valet.

Douglas predictably gains the upper hand as the match starts, although Overhosen does enjoy some early success too. At 19:45 in, Torrie can be seen repositioning herself ringside following a knee-drop by Douglas, in what may have been a premeditated move. The decision bears fruit at 20:20, when the young opponent slips out of the ring very close to Torrie to avoid another attack from The Franchise.

| A yank to the shorts |
The beautiful valet has no hesitation in approaching Scott, and at 20:25 yanks back the shorts of Overhosen to prevent him re-entering the ring in full view of the referee. Overhosen then turns round to berate Torrie, before foolishly turning his back on her. At 20:32 in, Torrie then senses her opportunity an executes a nail-rake to the back of the young opponent, as Douglas connects with a kick through the ropes.

As the action continues ringside, Overhosen somehow turns the tables as Torrie looks on in close proximity. The Franchise soon strikes back though, and rams his young opponent into the ringpost to leave him writhing in agony at the feet of Torrie. The valet then gets right into the face of Overhosen, verbally berating the young wrestler before both men return the ring.

As Overhosen enjoys more success, Douglas soon nails the youngster with his trademark Franchise finisher to seal a straightforward win. Torrie then applauds the efforts of Douglas before leaving with her man, turning to see Overhosen stricken in the ring as she departs.

| Applauding the win |
Torrie not only showed an ability to sense an opportunity to get involved to help Douglas, she also displayed a ruthlessness and cruelty in verbally attacking Overhosen while the young wrestler was clearly in pain. Meanwhile, her ringside intervention when Overhosen was in close proximity not only assisted Douglas, but was also carried out in full view of the referee, who allowed the valet total freedom to get involved without punishment. A 'Torrific' performance then from Ms Wilson in dominating and humiliating a young wrestler who lacked the exeprience to deal with her and The Franchise.
