She overcome both when she found fitness modeling. She started college but eventually moved from Idaho to California to continue pursing modeling and try her hand at acting before the bright lights of wrestling came calling.

In 1999, Torrie was allowed backstage at a WCW show and that opened the door for her becoming a valet in WCW. She spent 1999 to early 2001 there being on the arm and working with top stars until it was bought by WWE. She then went on to be signed by WWE and spent the next 7 years there becoming a top star herself. She became one of the biggest and most popular WWE Divas and accomplished so much in and out of the ring during her time there.
