Former WWE superstar Torrie Wilson legitimately turned back the clocks this week.
Wilson joined the WWE in 1999 and became one of the most popular wrestlers in the women's division. Though she never won the Women's Championship, she had plenty of feuds that had the WWE community's attention.
“Her athleticism and penchant for entertainment made her a great fit for WWE during one of the sports-entertainment industry’s biggest eras,” her bio for the WWE states. “Wilson’s partnership with her friend (and sometimes rival) Stacy Keibler made her a key figure in WCW’s invasion of WWE. Once that invasion was fought off, Wilson became a key member of WWE’s women’s division, engaging in memorable rivalries with the likes of Keibler, Sable and Melina. She even fought for her family’s honor against the nefarious Dawn Marie.”

A few days ago, Wilson reminded WWE fans that she's still capable of breaking the internet at a moment's notice. She reposted an old swimsuit photo with the caption: "Sup."
In a matter of minutes, Wilson received endless praise from her fans.
"My favorite female wrestler of all time," one fan said.
"Torrie is over here with the fountain of youth," a second fan commented. "She’s still the same girl that debuted on Nitro. Amazing!"
"So fine," another fan declared.
Torrie Wilson truly disliked one aspect of the WWE.
During a recent interview, Wilson admit that she hated being part of the WWE's bikini contests.
"They were all like mortifying. People don't realize, like, yeah, I went out there and owned it the best I could and pushed through the fear, but it was mortifying," Wilson said. "I was standing in the corner watching one of the girls dance in the middle and literally fighting back tears. It got to a raunchy point, you know, and I'm like, I don't want to be a part of this, but that was also my job."
Wilson hasn’t competed in a WWE match in over five years. It's highly unlikely we'll see her back in the ring anytime soon.
