Torrie Wilson came up in the Attitude Era of the WWF/WWE where the majority of the women athletes performed roles focused on their sensuality and looks. And while Torrie Wilson was one of the hot blondes on the roster she was still willing to throw down in the ring. Despite having moves like the Facial AKA Stickface in her arsenal, Wilson was highly athletic. Her Handspring Back Elbow, Swinging Neckbreaker, Torrienado DDT, and Nose Job Facebuster are moves that set her apart from McMahon's infamous Vince's Devils clique.
Prior to stepping foot in the square circle, Wilson won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1999. Within the same year, Wilson was introduced to the WCW where she instantly became an integral member of the notorious New World Order (nWo). By 2001, Wilson acquired a roster slot on WWF/WWE following the WWF and WCW merger. Unfortunately, Wilson was forced into retirement in 2008 after suffering a back injury. However, she has made sporadic returns to the WWE over the past several years. This year she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
