The world of WWE, particularly in the portrayal of women’s wrestling, has undergone significant changes. A former WWE DIVA, in a recent interview, reminisced about a past incident where she turned down a creative proposal from WWE’s Vince McMahon. This incident sheds light on the transformation that women’s pro wrestling has experienced over the last decade.
In a candid revelation, the WWE Hall of Famer shared that she outright denied McMahon. Recently as many know, McMahon has resigned from his roles. Now the former WWE and Playboy star revealed that she refused a segment on live TV in the 2000s over a controversial request from McMahon.

Wilson firmly rejected the idea, emphasizing her discomfort with such proposals during a recent episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet. She said, “No. It was twice that I could remember that I [said no]. First of all, I’m a major people pleaser. So, to say no to people is really hard, even if it’s someone you know; I’m recovering from that. There was one time when I had a thing with Sable where Vince wanted me to come out with the paint on my b**bs as she did. And I was like, hard no, I can’t do that.”
Torrie Wilson recalled firmly saying no to uncomfortable proposals twice, acknowledging her struggle as a people pleaser. She mentioned she is recovering from that. However, this is not the only time when she said no to the ex-WWE chairman.
Wilson turns down McMahon the second time: “Really hard for me to say no”
Torrie Wilson, the WWE Hall of Famer, was featured on the cover of Playboy in the early 2000s. Despite her discomfort with the sexualization and overly raunchy angles for women in WWE, she handled it professionally. Wilson disclosed the difficulty of turning down a Playboy offer in the same interview, especially with additional demands from Vince McMahon.

She said, “I mean, it ended up being nearly nothing anyway. And another time was when I did Playboy, Vince wanted me to do a pay-per-view and also, the video. That one was very hardcore pressed. And it was really hard for me to say no, but I absolutely didn’t want that.” Although the experience turned out to be less than expected, she stood firm on her decision.
