Torrie Wilson

Torrie Anne Wilson (born July 24, 1975) is an American model, former fitness competitor and retired professional wrestler.

She is best known for her tenure in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE, previously the World Wrestling Federation).

She placed third in her first competition, and she later won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1998.

She then spent some time on the Extreme Fitness Team.

As part of the Women's Tri-Fitness Championships in 1998, Wilson won first place in the Grace and Physique round.

Later in 1998, Wilson moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

She began acting classes and was introduced to an agent who helped her gain a few jobs.

As a fitness competitor, Wilson won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1999.

Shortly after, she was signed by World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where she stayed from 1999 until 2000.

Wilson's start in wrestling came when she attended a World Championship Wrestling (WCW) show with her boyfriend in 1999.

After going backstage, she was asked to walk out to the ring with Scott Steiner.

Later, Kevin Nash expressed an interest in doing a storyline with her.

She first appeared on the February 8, 1999, episode of Nitro (later named "Samantha").

It was revealed, in the storyline, that Wilson was brought in by the New World Order (nWo) to seduce David Flair into turning against his father, Ric Flair.

They appeared together on February 21 at SuperBrawl IX when Wilson slapped Ric, and David zapped him with a taser.

After Ric won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Hollywood Hogan at Uncensored inside a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match, David and Wilson took some time off from WCW television in April before returning in May to accompany David to the ring for matches.

At the 1999 Bash at the Beach, Wilson acted as a valet for Flair as he successfully defended the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Dean Malenko.

She continued to accompany David to the ring until September when David was on the telephone with Wilson and later found out that Wilson was in the Filthy Animals' locker room flirting with Billy Kidman, which resulted in a feud between Flair and Kidman.

On the October 18, 1999, episode of Nitro, Wilson turned on him, resulting in Flair losing the match and the Animals beating on him; after the Animals stopped assaulting David, Wilson left with the Filthy Animals.

It was around this time that Wilson began managing Kidman and his Filthy Animals teammates.

As a result, she found herself involved in the Animals continuing feud with The Revolution.

On the November 22, 1999, episode of Nitro, during a tag team match between Kidman and Konnan facing Creative Control for the WCW World Tag Team Championship, Kidman looked up at the Turnertron and saw that Wilson and Eddie Guerrero were shown flirting inside his locker room on the "Kidcam", a hidden camera segment, which led to a storyline feud between Kidman and Guerrero.

Following this, Wilson once again disappeared from television.

Wilson however returned on the January 19, 2000, episode of Thunder managing Kidman, and in April 2000, Kidman and Wilson joined a stable known as the New Blood, making them both villainous characters.

As part of their newest storyline, Kidman became jealous of the attention Wilson began to give to fellow New Blood member Horace Hogan.

In June, Wilson gave Kidman a hit at the Great American Bash, causing him to lose to Horace's uncle, Hulk Hogan.

Wilson was taken off of television following the encounter, reappearing at July's Bash at the Beach during a match between Shane Douglas and Buff Bagwell.

In 2001, she began appearing on World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television as part of The Invasion (by WCW, of the [then-] WWF) storyline.

Her most high-profile storylines took place in 2002 when she feuded with Dawn Marie, and 2003 with Sable.

Wilson has also been a part of the all-female stable (i.e., a group of storyline-associated characters), known as Vince's Devils, which ended its run in 2006.

Aside from pro wrestling, Wilson has been on the cover of several magazines, including FHM and Playboy (which Wilson posed for twice, one featuring both Wilson and Sable).

Wilson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019.

Wilson was born in Boise, Idaho.

She says that, while growing up, she was painfully shy.

Wilson found her niche in many school activities, including cheerleading, dance, and track and field.

During her sophomore year of high school, after Wilson's interest in modeling grew more serious, her mother urged her to pursue it.

They visited an agency and were informed that Wilson would have to lose weight to be considered for jobs.

In the process of losing weight, she began a bout with anorexia nervosa and then bulimia that lasted from ages 14-to-20.

After recovering from the disorder, Wilson became involved in fitness.

She began eating six meals a day and working out.
