Former WWE Diva Dawn Marie's steamy romantic angle with Torrie Wilson's real-life father Al Wilson was the talk of the pro wrestling world back in 2002. While feuding with Torrie on SmackDown, Marie got into a relationship with Al Wilson. Things got serious pretty quickly, and the couple got engaged on the November 7 edition of the Blue brand.

Their wedding took place on January 2, 2003 on SmackDown and Torrie wasn't thrilled with it. Al Wilson died (in storyline) from a heart attack while on honeymoon with Marie and her feud with Torrie continued on WWE TV.

Wilson defeated Marie in a Stepmother vs. Stepdaughter match at Royal Rumble 2003, thus putting an end to this bizarre feud. The former has spoken about the feud in the past. According to Wilson, her father enjoyed every moment of the storyline:

"He loved it. He had the time of his life, especially because he got to make out with Dawn [Marie] all the time," Torrie Wilson.

Al Wilson passed away in real life in early 2019, mere days before his daughter was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
