Torrie Wilson is best known for her nearly nine years as a WWE pro-wrestling superstar. She was on the road about 300 days a year, performing in front of live crowds of up to 90,000 people throughout the world, not to mention the millions who watched her on television or pay per view every week. Few people who knew her would have predicted this path for Wilson, but her charm in and out of the ring made her one of the most popular Divas of all time.
Wilson was in the midst of an eating disorder battle while studying pre-dietetics at Boise State University. She began consuming fitness publications and adoring the ladies she saw with muscles that preserved a feminine look. Wilson had her sights set on a new objective from the moment she picked up her first fitness magazine: looking like a shapely and fit woman. She subsequently entered a fitness competition because she understood that setting a goal would help her stay motivated. Wilson competed in just three exhibitions before being spotted by photographers and photographed for magazine covers.
Wilson quickly realized that Boise, Idaho was not the location for her if she wanted to advance her career, so she moved to Los Angeles. Within six months, she had a chance encounter at a wrestling show while accompanying her then boyfriend, which turned into an almost nine-year career as a WWE Diva. It was the ideal combination of Wilson’s two passions: athletics and entertainment. Wilson is now the CEO of the fitness and wellness brand Fittensity. She keeps up with her fans on Instagram, where she boasts 1.1 million followers.
