Torrie Wilson explains why she did not watch wrestling for a long time after leaving WWE
The 49-year-old was among the most popular women on the roster during The Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. She announced her retirement from professional wrestling in May 2008 after getting released from WWE. Torrie made sporadic appearances at a few shows and events in the years after and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019.
During her appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Wilson revealed that she suffered from PTSD after leaving the wrestling promotion due to being put into certain vulnerable situations during her career. As a result, she did not watch any wrestling until WWE asked her to be a part of the inaugural Women's Royal Rumble Match in 2019.
"I didn't watch wrestling. I didn't want anything to do with wrestling for many years after I left mostly because I just had a certain amount of PTSD from being so vulnerable out there and feeling like I was put in this kind of, like, this raunchy role that wasn't me. I felt judgment from people. I felt like people looked down on me for, like, just stuff that I did, the bra and panty matches and all that, so like, I just wanted to shut that door," said Torrie Wilson. For many years, I didn't watch. It wasn't until they called me to do the Royal Rumble [2018's first ever Women's Rumble match] that I started to kind of catch up, and then I got really into it, like more into it than I ever was when I was wrestling." she said.
