WWE Hall of Famer Torrie Wilson credited a former multi-time world champion for getting her into the wrestling business.
Wilson competed in a few beauty pageants and modeled for several magazines before kicking off her professional wrestling career in 1999. The 47-year-old worked for less than two years in WCW before joining WWE in 2001.
In a recent interview with Generation Iron Fitness Network, Wilson credited Hall of Famer Kevin Nash for getting her into the wrestling business after meeting him during a visit to WCW with her wrestling-fan boyfriend in 1999.
"I didn't know who any of them were, but I was taking pictures with Bill Goldberg and some people. 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, working with Ric Flair?' And it was just like acting segments, and so I said yeah," said Willson. [H/T: Wrestling Inc]

"[Was having racy scenes with Vince McMahon uncomfortable?] Extremely. That was the first day I was actually on the show. The guy made me nervous anyway. I didn't know him very well at all. He was very intimidating, and I had to make out with him in front of his wife. And his wife is telling me to grab him more and harder. It was just a very weird experience," said Wilson.
