Torin Walhood never thought he would find himself at a World Wres- tling Entertainment event in Grand Forks, North Da- kota. In fact, he was only vaguely aware of what the WWE was when I called him on the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 29 to see if he wanted to accompany me to WWE Live at the that night. On our short drive there, I try to fill him in on the kind of show he would be getting. To be fair, it’s a lot to absorb, and I don’t blame him for failing to be prepared as we took our seats in Kyle Zimmerman / Dakota Student Kyle Zimmerman / Dakota Student the “WWE-ified” Alerus.
