Torrie Wilson says she was incredibly uncomfortable while working the bikini contests in WWE that were booked by Vince McMahon.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Insight” with Chris Van Vliet podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that all of the bikini contests were “mortifying” for her.
Additionally, Torrie says that Vince McMahon wanted her to do a pay-per-view video after her Playboy shoot.
It should be noted that this interview dropped on February 1st and may have been recorded before the recent allegations against Vince McMahon were made last week.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being in the bikini contests: “They were all mortifying. People don’t realize. I went out there and owned it the best I could and pushed through the fear, but it was mortifying. There were times when, I remember specifically this house show, that I was in this bikini showdown with Dawn Marie and Sable and someone else. I was standing in the corner watching one of the girls dance in the middle and literally fighting back tears. ‘I cannot believe I’m doing this right now.’ It got to a raunchy point and I was like, ‘I don’t want to be a part of this,’ but it was also my job.”
On if she said no to anything that was pitched to her: “There was twice that I can remember…first of all, I’m a major people pleaser, so saying no to people is really hard. I’m recovering from that. There was one time where I had a thing with Sable and Vince [Vince McMahon] wanted me to come out with the paint on my boobs like she did. I was like, ‘hard no, I can’t do that.’ It ended up being nearly nothing anyways. The other time was when I did Playboy, Vince wanted me to do a pay-per-view, like a video. That one was very hardcore pressed, and it was really hard for me to say no, but I absolutely didn’t want that.”
