Hiroko Suzuki comments on her friendship with Torrie Wilson.
Hiroko Suzuki accompanied her husband, Kenzo Suzuki, to the ring during his tenure on WWE SmackDown. During that time, Torrie Wilson was the top babyface Diva on the blue brand and she and Suzuki got physical on a number of occasions.
During a recent interview with DS Shin of Ring The Belle, Hiroko revealed that she was actually very close with Torrie Wilson. Once she revealed to Wilson that she wanted to wrestle her, she was asked to wrestle the very next day.
She is my best friend. My closest friend. I ask Torrie about everything. We talked at Applebee’s after a show. I said, ‘I want to wrestle.’ ‘You want to?’ ‘Yeah.’ The next day, John (Laurinaitis) came to me and said, ‘You want to wrestle?’ So soon. I just said it during a conversation over drinks, and the next day Johnny came to me, ‘You want to wrestle?’ ‘Yeaaahhh.’ ‘Torrie, why did you tell him?’ [Laughs]. ‘You told me so.’ So, it started."
Asked about the times she slapped the WWE Hall of Famer, she recalled Torrie asking her to slap her harder.
"She told me, ‘No pain. More strong.’ ‘It’s okay?’ ‘It’s okay.’ She walked off, ‘It was so hard.’ ‘You told me harder.’ A very good memory."
Hiroko Suzuki also recently stated she would like to participate in a WWE Royal Rumble. Read her comments here.
