5 biggest failed marriages in WWE history

#2 Al Wilson and Dawn Marie

Al Wilson and Dawn Marie were involved in a romantic angle in 2002-03, with the storyline culminating in a wedding ceremony

In late 2002, Dawn Marie got into a feud with popular WWE Diva Torrie Wilson. The storyline saw Marie getting into a relationship with Al Wilson, who was the real-life father of Torrie. At No Mercy 2002, Marie and Torrie squared off, with Torrie picking up the win. The November 7, 2002 edition of WWE SmackDown saw Al and Dawn getting engaged. Their love only blossomed further. On the January 2, 2003 episode of SmackDown, the lovebirds tied the knot and went on their honeymoon.

Al tragically passed away due to a heart attack during his honeymoon, days after the wedding. At the 2003 Royal Rumble PPV, Torrie took on Dawn Marie in a Stepmother vs Stepdaugter match, with the former emerging victorious when all was said and done.

Al Wilson passed away in real life on April 4, 2019. His passing came two days before his daughter Torrie was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
