WWE legend says she was forced to retire because she did not want to hurt herself again

A WWE legend has admitted that she felt that she was forced to retire because she did not want to hurt herself wrestling again. She also admitted that she felt it was "yucky."

Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Torrie Wilson opened up on her WWE career and how she retired rom wrestling. She said that she did not want to hurt herself again, and that was the reason that she had decided to call it quits at a stage in her career. She said that she had back surgery and knew that when she returned she would not be at full capacity.

She also admitted that she was not enjoying the atmosphere around wrestling at that time either. Wilson retired in 2008 after a seven year run in WWE, before later returning eventually.

"When I left wrestling, I had back surgery and I was just kind of tired of being on the road. I knew I was getting better in the ring, and I knew that I was going to come back and not be at full capacity, so I did not want to hurt myself again. So that's kind of why I decided to retire. And then I, you know, for a long time I had mixed feelings about my time in wrestling because there was so much about it that I felt was just... I don't know about embarrassing, but I just felt yucky thinking about it. So I closed that door, and I had no desire really to do much with it. I did signings here and there, but I wanted to stay out of that world."
