Torrie Wilson was one of the most recognizable women’s wrestler at the peak of the “Monday Night Wars” between WWE and World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
Wilson was in WCW from 1999 to 2000 before WWE bought WCW and she moved to that company. She was with WWE from 2001 to 2008 and made several sporadic appearances with the company after that.

She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 and was also a part of the Tri-Fitness Hall of Fame in 2012 after winning the Tri-Fitness Grace and Physique Championship in 1998.
On Sunday, Wilson dipped her toe in the political waters when she wrote on social media that she would back actor Spencer Pratt in his bid for the Los Angeles mayor if she still lived in the city.
“I don’t live in LA anymore. If I did I’d support my friend @spencerpratt,” she wrote on X, quote-tweeting Pratt’s campaign video. “LA needs change.”
Pratt is one of the biggest challengers to current Mayor Karen Bass. Pratt, who was among the thousands in Los Angeles affected by the Palisades wildfires last year, said Angelinos were upset with Bass’ management.
The two traded barbs over Pratt’s comments. Bass accused Pratt of “exploiting” the tragedy, which he faced personally, to score political points.
Pratt, however, pushed back and said he won community awards for his support of the Palisades community during the tragedy that resulted in both his and his families’ homes being burnt down. He said he also knew people who burned alive across the street from his childhood home.
Bass and Pratt are two of the 13 candidates running for mayor. Both Bass and Pratt are the frontrunners heading into the June 2 primary. The general election is Nov. 3.
