NWO Twenty Years Later: Where Are They Now?

Like many women in wrestling throughout the 'Attitude era', the boys' club at WCW had their collective eyes turned to Torrie Wilson thanks to her physical appearance alone.

Whilst attending a show with her boyfriend, company officials were stunned by the blonde, and promptly invited her backstage, before asking her to act as Scott Steiner's valet. Kevin Nash was likewise enamoured by the winsome Wilson, and with the nWo still heavily dictating the majority of WCW programming, it was inevitable she would be scripted into the faction's angles.

At least she wasn't asked just to dance in a black and white top like the nWo girls (see: every other woman on this list). Given the simple moniker 'Samantha', it was Wilson's task to try and seduce David Flair, and force him to turn against the stable's long-term rival, Ric Flair. It only bloody worked, too.

Wilson continued to valet for David long after his association with the nWo ended, and when the younger Flair's rift with Eric Bischoff resulted in his removal from television, his belle switched allegiance to Billy Kidman.

The relationship was fruitful on and off screen - the pair married in 2003. Wilson enjoyed a seven-year long career in WWE after the company's purchase of WCW, and not surprisingly given Vince's predilection for leggy blondes, became a bigger star than ever.

Wilson and Kidman divorced in 2008, and since the split she made headlines for her public relationship with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. The pair called it quits in 2015. No longer involved in the wrestling biz, Wilson now occupies her time as a fitness model and competitor.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
