Torrie Wilson Recalls Starting Her Career in WCW
– During a recent interview with Insight with Chris Van Vliet, WWE Hall of Famer and former WWE Superstar Torrie Wilson discussed how she started her in career in wrestling in WCW after Kevin Nash initially reached out to her. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Torrie Wilson on how she got started in WCW: “I met Kevin Nash, and he had remembered seeing me in a green bikini in a fitness magazine and had asked me if I’d be interested in doing this little three-month storyline that they had – this idea for Ric Flair and his son David Flair, and I was like, ‘Sure.’ I actually started working with an agent that was also Hulk Hogan’s agent, so there was like a little bit of a tie-in right there. So he kind of knew the rope.”
On getting the opportunity: “At first I was kind of like, ‘I don’t know, I want to be an actress.’ I was broke, and this opportunity came and I was like, ‘Shoot, I could travel a little bit.’ That’s all I really wanted to do growing up, was see the world. That thing just kind of snowballed so fast.”
