WWE Hall of Famer Torrie Wilson recently appeared on The Mike O’Hearn Show to talk about a variety of topics such as how she started working for WCW.
Torrie Wilson said:
“I was taking pictures [backstage] with like Bill Goldberg and some people and my boyfriend was freaking out and then I met Kevin Nash and he was like, ‘I saw you in a green bikini in a magazine and we have this storyline idea. Would you be interested in doing it?’ It’s working with Ric Flair and it was just acting segments and so, I said ‘yeah.”
Torrie Wilson also talked about how she was making $5,000 per day in WCW when she was starting out as well as how that convinced her to continue pursuing a career in pro wrestling.
Torrie Wilson said:
“It was like five grand a day. It was the easiest money. I’m broke, so broke by the way. Could barely get groceries and it just snowballed so fast. My popularity evolved so fast and it was kind of like, I never really wanted to be a wrestler but, this gig came to me and I need to roll with it.”
