Torrie WilsonTorrie Wilson
Wilson has found considerable success in both World Championship
Wrestling and in World Wrestling Entertainment as a valet and a
diva. This success led to her becoming one of several WWE divas
to pose in Playboy. Outside of the ring, she is good friends with
fellow WWE divas Stacy Keibler, Trish Stratus, and Victoria. Modeling During high school, after Torrie's interest in modeling grew more serious, her mother urged her to pursue it. They visited an agency and were informed that Torrie would have to lose weight to actually be considered for jobs. She lost eight pounds, but, in the process, began a four-year-long bout with bulimia.
A few years after her battle with bulimia, Wilson developed an
interest in fitness modeling. Torrie began working out and building
muscles. She decided to enter herself in the 1997 Ms. Galaxy fitness
competition, and, with no experience in the field, she placed thirteenth.
A year later at the same competition she placed first. World Championship Wrestling Wilson began managing Billy Kidman as well as his Filthy Animals teammates in the fall of 1999. Wilson found herself involved in the Animals continuing feud with The Revolution. At Mayhem, Revolution members Malenko, Perry Saturn, and Asya met Eddie Guerrero, Kidman, and Wilson in a six-person elimination match. Wilson ended up being the last member of her team, but was ultimately pinned by Saturn. The next night on Nitro, Wilson and Guerrero were shown on the "Kidcam" during Kidman and Konnan's tag team match. This led to a match between Kidman and Guerrero later that night, which Guerrero won. Following this, Wilson disappeared from television and rumors began to circulate that she had been let go by the company. However, Wilson returned on the January 19th edition of Thunder to help Kidman defeat Prince Iaukea. After Kidman joined the New Blood faction in April of 2000, Wilson did as well, making them both heels. Wilson began delivering the "kiss of death" to Kidman's fallen opponents after his matches. However, Kidman became jealous of the attention Torrie began to give to fellow New Blood member Horace Hogan. Kidman began yelling at Torrie on a continual basis, eventually leading to Wilson delivering a low blow to Kidman and ending their relationship. Wilson again gave Kidman a low blow at the Great American Bash Pay-Per-View, causing him to lose to Hulk Hogan. Torrie reappeared on WCW TV at the Bash at the Beach pay-per-view during a match between Shane Douglas and Buff Bagwell. It appeared Wilson was rooting for Bagwell as she slapped Douglas and kissed Bagwell during the match. However, Wilson dropped Bagwell with a low blow, leading to Douglas winning the match. Torrie and Douglas then left together. This led to a feud between Kidman and Douglas. At the New Blood Rising Pay-Per-View, Kidman defeated Douglas in a strap match. At the following month's pay-per-view, Fall Brawl, Wilson and Douglas defeated Kidman and Madusa in a mixed tag team scaffold match. Wilson and Douglas began a feud with the Filthy Animals after dubbing themselves "WCW's first couple." At the '00 Halloween Havoc, Wilson and Douglas fell to Konnan and Tygress. Wilson's final appearance with World Championship Wrestling came
on the November 29th edition of Thunder. Douglas took on General
Rection. During the contest, Wilson jumped on Rection's back, resulting
in her being knocked into the turnbuckle. The injury was obviously
dramatized, as Wilson had to be placed on a stretcher and removed
from the ring. Following this, rumors began to circulate the Torrie
may soon be joining the World Wrestling Federation. World Wrestling Entertainment She turned face amidst the Invasion storyline, when her character began an on-screen romance with Tajiri. This new romance caused Keibler to turn on Wilson, and as a result, Wilson defected to the WWF. Wilson defeated Keibler in the first-ever lingerie match at the 2001 No Mercy PPV after executing Tajiri's back handspring elbow. Smackdown! Her most high profile feud during her first few years with the company came in 2003, when Dawn Marie tried to marry her father "Al Wilson" as blackmail for a lesbian relationship between the two. It eventually turned out that Dawn had feelings for Al, and the two got married. Al then died in kayfabe from a heart attack after having rigourus sex numerous times in succession on their honeymoon. Wilson defeated Dawn at both No Mercy in October 2002 and at the Royal Rumble in January 2003. She defeated Dawn again at 2004 Judgment Day.
After appearing on the cover of Playboy Magazine for the first time in May 2003, Wilson feuded with returning diva and former centerfold Sable. For weeks, Sable played mind games with Wilson, leading to a bikini contest at Judgment Day. Wilson won the contest and then kissed the former Women's Champion. The two would ultimately pose nude together in Playboy in March 2004. Later in the year, at the Great American Bash, Wilson lost to Sable after Sable pulled Wilson's tights. Wilson managed Billy Gunn upon his WWE return in the summer of 2003. The duo feuded with Jamie Noble and his girlfriend Nidia. Later the feud ended after Nidia and Noble both turned face by siding with Gunn and Wilson during that time before Noble turned heel again by turning on Nidia. After a feud with Hiroko, Wilson began feuding with Melina. That
led to a loss for Wilson in a Bra and Panties Match at the 2005
Great American Bash. This match saw all the women involved, including
special guest referee Candice Michelle, lose their clothing. RAW Torrie also began carrying her small dog Chloe down to ringside during matches. Torrie and Candice's feud with Massaro continued over the next couple weeks, as the duo, along with their enforcer Victoria, made things difficult for Massaro. Massaro evened the score on the September 12, 2005 edition of RAW, as she brought out a returning Trish Stratus and proceeded with Stratus to take out the heels. This led to a tag match at Unforgiven, as the team of Stratus and Massaro defeated Wilson and Victoria (with Candice Michelle). The feud continued into WWE Homecoming, where Trish Stratus and
Ashley Massaro defeated Torrie, Candice, and Victoria in the first
ever three on two Bra and Panties Match, by stripping all three
of their opponents. Torrie Wilson would be taken of TV for a short
while after this but would return on the November 28 edition of
RAW, where Wilson along with Candice Michelle, Victoria, continued
to face off against the team of Trish Stratus, Ashley, and their
new ally Mickie James. Vince McMahon would soon begin referring
to the team of Torrie Wilson, Victoria, and Candice Michelle as
"Vince's Devils," which seemed to be a play on Charlie's
Angels. On the June 12, 2006 edition of RAW, Torrie Wilson defeated Candice Michelle in the first ever Wet & Wild Match where the winner of the match would be on the cover of the WWE 2006 Summer Special magazine. On the June 19, 2006 edition of Raw, Torrie Wilson and Maria were defeated by Candice Michelle and Mickie James in a Tag Team Bra & Panties Match. On June 26, Torrie Wilson revealed the cover of the WWE 2006 Summer
Special Magazine. Her unveiling was cut short by Edge and Lita who
stormed into the ring. Then Edge took down the magazine cover. Edge
demanded a rematch for the WWE Championship Title or he would quit
RAW. Edge and Lita then stormed out of the arena. Personal life Chloe Torrie Wilson had been traveling with the little white dog since December 2004, so she was used to being on the road, but it wouldn't be until late 2005 before Chloe would make her first appearance on RAW. Chloe joined Torrie as part of the stable Vince's Devils, along side Victoria and Candice Michelle. Chloe even made appearances in the ring, acting as interference during the divas' matches. Her first in ring experience came during Carlito's "Beat the Clock Match" against Victoria. Chloe ran across the ring to her owner Torrie to distract Carlito. The next week on RAW, Chloe again got involved during a match between Victoria and Maria; Torrie held Chloe up and pushed the little dog's behind into the face of Maria. (This move would later be referred to as the "Chloe Tush Push.")
On February 9, 2006, it was announced that Torrie and Chloe Wilson
would present WWE Best in Show, a look back on all the best canine
moments from WWE history, which would air the following Monday afternoon,
exclusively on WWE.com (in reference to the Westminster Kennel Club
Dog Show, which aired in place of RAW that Monday). Championships and accomplishments Torrie Wilson Picture Gallery
