Torrie Wilson WWE Divas Career
Wilson
entered the WWF as part of The Alliance during the WCW/ECW Invasion
storyline in 2001. She regularly teamed with fellow WCW performer Stacy
Keibler with the two of them making their wrestling debuts in WWF/E in a
Bra and Panties against Lita and Trish Stratus at the WWF Invasion PPV.
Despite her relative lack of in-ring experience, Wilson (alongside
Keibler and Ivory) regularly feuded with the WWE Divas as well as
interfering in matches on behalf of other wrestlers in the WCW/ECW
stable. Her interference in a match between Matt Hardy and The Hurricane
on a September 2001 edition of RAW, for example, cost Hardy his WWF
European Championship.
She turned face during the Invasion storyline, when her character began
an on-screen romance with Tajiri. This new romance caused Stacy 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.
When the first ever brand separation of the WWE roster took place in
April 2002, Wilson was drafted to SmackDown!. Soon after this, Tajiri
became very jealous of the attention that Torrie received from other
men, so he forced her to wear a geisha outfit and appeared to mistreat
her in matches. Torrie finally tired of this, and, during a match, she
got onto the announce table and stripped off her clothing. The
distraction allowed Tajiri's opponent Billy Kidman to pick up the win.
Wilson had a brief on-screen relationship with Maven after this.
Wilson's most high profile feud during her first few years with the
company came in 2003, when Dawn Marie tried to marry her (kayfabe)
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 (kayfabe) died from a heart attack after having
rigorous sex numerous times in succession on their honeymoon[citation
needed]. Wilson defeated Dawn at No Mercy in October and again at the
Royal Rumble in January.
In May of 2003 Wilson appeared on the cover of Playboy Magazine.
Ironically she had stated that she would never pose nude [2]. Her
Playboy appearance led to a feud 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 betraying
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.
On the August 22, 2005 edition of RAW, it was revealed that Torrie and
Candice, Torrie would turn heel on the same night, attacking the 2005
RAW Diva Search winner Ashley Massaro. This turn marked the first time
that Wilson was a heel in WWE after the end of the Invasion storyline.
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 and 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.
Vince's Devils would only be a short-lived team as Torrie Wilson would
soon become a babyface diva once again after Candice Michelle and
Victoria turned on her. This feud between Candice Michelle and Wilson
would become a lengthy one and lead to a match in which Playboy
Magazine's newest cover girl, Candice Michelle, would face off against
the 2-time former cover girl (Wilson) at WrestleMania 22 in a Playboy
Pillow Fight. Wilson would win this match but the feud would still
continue on-and-off
On the June 12, 2006 edition of RAW, Torrie Wilson defeated Candice
Michelle in the first ever "Wet & Wild Match" (a wrestling match
involving water balloons and squirt guns with both competitors wearing
white clothing) where the winner of the match would be on the cover of
the WWE 2006 Summer Special magazine.
In the weeks following she began performing stink faces on her opponents
in certain matches. In an interview with FHM Magazine, Torrie revealed
that the name of this move is "The Facial".
As of late, WWE is promoting Wilson as a more aggressive wrestler, as
they also are with Michelle.
