When the rumors broke a few days ago, many fans lamented someone like Torrie Wilson – who more defined the Divas Era than women’s wrestling – entering the WWE Hall of Fame, but to her credit, there were few women’s sports-entertainers as popular as Torrie Wilson during the early 2000s. And in many ways, Torrie Wilson helped start a new trend in pro wrestling – she was a fitness model when she signed with WCW in 1999 and one of the very first brought into pro wrestling. Her immediate success lead to the WWE signing two peers of Wilson’s from the fitness model circuit, in Trish Stratus and Victoria. And one of Torrie’s biggest on-line supporters has come from former WWE Superstar and IMPACT legend Gail Kim.
Just stop it. She deserves it. This tweet is BS https://t.co/0gxG1Du64d

Why is it controversial? She has contributed a lot to the business and the fans adored her. There are people who are way more controversial picks. Like that poop Donald Trump. I don’t care whether there is a celebrity inductee or not. That whole part should be taken out. https://t.co/9UrzP8IKBK
