Torrie Wilson decided to retire from wrestling in 2008 after her departure from WWE, but she has made sporadic appearances for the company since then. In 2019, WWE recognized Wilson’s contributions by inducting her into their prestigious Hall of Fame.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on the “Insight“ podcast, Wilson opened up about her battle with PTSD, which stemmed from her WWE run. She said,
“That’s taken a long time (to allow myself to reflect on my career). 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 P.T.S.D. from being so vulnerable out there and feeling like I was put in this kind of, like, raunchy role that wasn’t me, and I felt judgment from people. I felt like people look down on me for like, just, stuff that I did, the bra and panty matches and all that so, I just wanted to shut that door and for many years, I didn’t watch and it wasn’t until they called me to do the Royal Rumble 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.”
