Torrie Wilson – WWE Hall of Fame
Torrie Wilson was a featured performer in both WCW and WWE during her time in pro-wrestling. Upon her debut in WCW in the late 1990s, she was immediately placed in major storylines. She then debuted with WWE not long after the Invasion angle of 2001 began. Although she never won a title during her pro-wrestling career, Wilson was always someone featured prominently in the promotion she was working for.
The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony takes place tonight inside the Barclays Center. It will stream live for subscribers on the WWE Network.
