Torrie Wilson

Torrie Wilson was born in Boise, Idaho on July 24, 1975. She was raised in a small town north of Boise with a population of 2,500. As a child, Wilson was rather shy but took comfort in her small community and began to excel in cheerleading and track and field in high school. As a sophomore, her mother encouraged her to pursue her interest in modeling. When an agency owner informed her that she would have to drop some weight in order to make it in the business, Wilson complied. Although she lost the pounds, she also developed a serious eating disorder that haunted her for four years. Offers came in after high school for contract work in New York and Los Angeles, but Wilson decided not to stray from her hometown roots.

Hesitant to get caught up in the fashion industry so soon after recovering from an eating disorder and scared to leave what she knew behind, Wilson set her sights on fitness. She decided to compete in the Ms. Galaxy competition and after researching different publications, followed a strict diet and exercise regimen. With overall health and fitness as her main priority, Wilson found new life and placed in the top third in her first competition. With the help of a coach and a grueling regimen, Wilson achieved her goal of victory at the Ms. Galaxy competition in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Many magazine covers and pictorial work followed and Wilson became interested in extending her talent further.As a fitness competitor, Wilson won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1998. Shortly after, she was signed by World Championship Wrestling, where she stayed from 1999 until 2001. In 2001, she began appearing on World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television as part of The Invasion storyline.[1] Her most high profile storyline took place in 2003 when she feuded with Dawn Marie. Wilson has also been a part of the all-female stable, or group of affiliated wrestlers, known as Vince's Devils, which ended its run in 2006.
