Eve Torres Dishes on WWE Diva Search Victory

Following her victory in the 2007 WWE Diva Search, Eve Torres spoke with FHM. Here are highlights from the interview.

It seemed like there were a lot of catfights between the WWE Diva Search contestants this year.
It’s interesting because when we were all together during the competitions there wasn’t a lot of cattiness going on. Everything was pretty professional. But once the eliminations started happening that’s when the cattiness began. It brought out the competitive side of everyone. For some people, that means putting others down and that’s kind of what happened. When the competition came down to Brooke [Gilbertsen] and I, we were forced to talk about each other on national television. I didn’t let what she said get to me too much, but I definitely have my thoughts about it.

What did Brooke say about you?
She basically called me a man and it didn’t go over very well with the fans. I’m very athletic and I’m tall, but I’m extremely confident with my body. So I didn’t really react to it because I knew in my heart that it was going to backfire against her. And it did.

Has it sunk in yet that your whole life is going to change now that you’re a WWE Diva?
It hit me a week ago when it was down to Brooke and I. I was just completely overwhelmed by the fact that my entire life could change. I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me a year ago that I’d be here today.

What’s your biggest fear about being in WWE?
My biggest fear would be having WWE fans feel like they chose the wrong person, but I’m not going to let that happen. That’s a goal of mine to make all those who voted for me recognize that I was a worthwhile addition.

So which Diva are you going to be gunning for?
I’ve learned a lot from Candice Michelle and I think she’s a great Diva. It would be great to go against her when she’s all healed up. But ultimately I want to be the champion.
