10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2003 Facts

10. The Torrie Wilson/Dawn Marie Angle Was Supposed To Keep Going

It was an angle made for WrestleCrap: Dawn Marie begins a relationship with Torrie Wilson's middle-aged father Al (who had the acting range of a lint roller), and Torrie doesn't like this one bit. Dawn and Al get married, and Al "dies" of a sex-induced heart attack on the honeymoon. It was so f--king awful that it swung all the way around to being charming, like Tommy Wiseau's opus The Room.

Torrie defeated Dawn in a sub-four minute "Stepmother vs. Stepdaughter" match at the Rumble, and the angle pretty much sputtered out from there. According to Dawn, the angle was originally supposed to drag on, and involve Torrie's brother, as well as attorneys (presumably the executors of the coveted Al Wilson Estate). Alas, it was not meant to be.
