Another story Bruce Prichard told on his Something To Wrestle With show was a little less dangerous and a little more hilarious. It was something one Billy Kidman could use to rub in the faces of the WWE locker room.

His relationship with the gorgeous Torrie Wilson, one stretching back to their time together in WCW, was something most on the roster couldn't wrap their heads around. To guys like JBL, the thought that a leggy blonde model like Torrie would see anything in a small Cruiserweight wrestler was baffling.

That's why he used to routinely shout over to Billy that he was a "damn overachiever".

Prichard claimed this was the general feeling amongst the boys backstage. To them, it didn't make sense that Wilson not only dated Kidman but agreed to marry him on the 11 July 2003; that was shortly before the Vengeance 2003 pay-per-view, which is why Bruce was talking about it in the first place.

Billy had the last laugh here, because he could fire back with a shrug of his shoulders and a smile.
