Credit Edith for
the below recap and 6 great photos she took
I was just at the Kurt/Torrie press conference on March 17th, and I've
got some nice pics that I'd like for you guys at K-A.net to have
Here's a quick recap of the conference - Kurt's parts:
So the conference started at noon, and us loyal fans waited in line in
the freezing cold for three and half hours! We spotted Torrie and Kurt
getting out of their cars and heading into the building at about 11AM.
The max number of people they let in was supposed to be 200, but since
many fans showed up and waited in the cold, they let everyone in. Carl
DeMarco; the president of the AgriCom; and Torrie come out first. Then
out comes Angle to loud shouts of "You Suck." All of them make a quick
speech, and Kurt obviously had to diss Canada. Most of the questions were
directed to Kurt, and ranged from questions about Smackdown, Wrestlemania,
his personal life (travelling, favorite vacation spot, training, etc.)
and all the way to favorite opponent and Shawn Michaels. (lol) The Q&A
lasted about 40 minutes or so, and then each of the press got about 5
minutes with all four people on stage, and the autograph lineup began.
It was HUGE. Luckily, since me and my friends were in front of the line
since 8AM, we were secured autographs. Funny thing happened to Angle though.
After his media interviews, he went back onto the stage and sat down,
but instead BAM. He falls hard onto the stage, and everyone was checking
to see if he was okay, like he was really hurt or something. But fortunately,
he was fine. Both Kurt and Torrie were incredibly nice. When it was a
person's turn he would ask them how they were and then after he signed
an item he would say "Thanks for watching and supporting." I'm pretty
sure that they had to cut lots of people due to time restraints, but all
in all I'm 100% sure it was an INCREDIBLE experience for everyone. I know
it was for me. =)
