Dawn Marie Says It Was Torrie Wilson’s Idea To Use Her Real Father In Their Storyline
Dawn Marie discusses the Torrie Wilson angle.
In the early 2000s, there was a storyline between Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson on WWE television. Torrie’s father, Al Wilson, also got involved in this storyline when Marie started a relationship with him. They even got married on television at one point.
Speaking on Going Ringside, Marie revealed that it was Torrie Wilson’s choice to use her real father for this storyline.
“They came up with an angle. They wanted me to seduce her father. They used her real father. They asked her, ‘Do you want to use your real dad or do you want us to hire someone?’ She’s like, ‘No, use my real dad. It’ll give me an opportunity to spend some time with him.’ Because when you’re on the road, you don’t see your family ever.”
Marie asked if it was weird seducing Torrie Wilson’s father in the storyline.
“It was weird when I had a makeout with her father and her all on the same night. (laughs) It was okay. It was fine.”
Marie says fans still ask her about this angle.
“Oh, all the time. Although it’s so funny because a lot of people say, ‘Oh my God, that was the worst angle ever.’ I’m like, ‘How? Everybody remembers it, so how is it horrible?’ If it was horrible then no one would remember, right? So I loved it. It was a great time.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Marie revealed how she got her start in wrestling. Fans can check her comments here.
