Former Playboy model's jaw-dropping revelation about the magazine and her secret feud with fellow cover girl
Sable made history when she covered Playboy magazine in 1999, breaking the record for the highest-selling issue in the publication's history at the time.
Torrie followed suit in 2003 with her own cover shoot, before the pair teamed up together to become the first WWE stars to share a Playboy cover in 2004.
Despite being one of the top female stars in WWE at the time, Torrie told DailyMail.com that she made more money doing Playboy than she did in an entire year of wrestling.
The blonde bombshell, now 50, also said that she and Sable initially got along with each other and that it was their idea to do Playboy together, despite being locked in an on-screen feud about who the sexiest WWE star in the company was.
However, it didn't take long for their scripted storyline to spill over into real life.
'It's really funny to look back on because there was a hint of realness to that [feud],' she explained.
'We were on location in Mexico doing one of those WWE Divas shoots, and she and I started chit-chatting and we were like, "We should take some photos together and then go to Vince [McMahon] and give him this idea,"' she continued.
'And then somewhere along the way we started having a little cattiness go on between us,' she added.
Torrie said that she and Sable 'had so much fun' shooting the cover together, but the claws came out when it was time to promote the issue.
'I just feel like she had a completely skewed version of who I was as a person,' Torrie shared.
'She thought that I was trying to like steal the spotlight or something,' she continued.
'I'm just a super people pleaser and will do anything you ask of me, you know?'
Torrie also said that she believes the wrestling business can breed competition between women.
'I think that the wrestling industry kind of creates this insecurity because there's always somebody coming up and you're always one show away from losing your job,' she explained.
'And you're under a microscope and people are judging you for every inch of your body, especially back then - it was very much about our looks,' she continued.
'I definitely think it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way when Stacy [Keibler] and I came in and we didn't know how to wrestle and we got a lot of TV time. But what do you expect us to do?'
Torrie also insists that she has no regrets about stripping down for the magazine, despite the behind-the-scenes drama she experienced thanks to Sable.
'I don't regret it one bit. Playboy was "it" when I was growing up and I just loved my experience,' she gushed.
'There was a short time, like maybe towards the end where I felt like people judged me for doing it, but I've totally let that go. I don't care and I definitely don't shy away from being sexy.'
Wrestling fans can see more of Torrie's sexy side on her Passes page.
The WWE Hall of Famer recently joined the subscription-based app, which has been billed as a PG-rated alternative to OnlyFans.
'What I love about Passes is that it gives me a chance to get to know my subscribers or fans better than on social media, where you have so much noise coming at you,' she said.
'I've had people come up to me and say, "You'd make so much money on OnlyFans!" But I don't wanna do anything nude and I feel like people expect [OnlyFans] to go there,' she continued.
'I love that Passes is a cleaner platform so people aren't gonna come on there expecting [nudity],' she added.
Torrie started out in wrestling in WCW, before joining to WWE in 2001 after the company bought out both WCW and ECW.
During her time at WWE, she become one of wrestling's biggest sex symbols and covered FHM magazine, as well as Playboy magazine twice.

Deion Sanders ends interview abruptly after Karreuche Tran question amid rumors he's dating Chris Brown's ex
Deion Sanders was in no mood to discuss rumors that he is dating Karreuche Tran after being grilled about his love life during a podcast appearance this week. The Colorado football coach and NFL legend, 57, has been linked romantically to Tran, 37, ever since they were spotted on a lunch date together earlier this year. And following his revelation last week that he recently had his bladder removed after being diagnosed with cancer, Sanders' apparent new flame was seen by his side at the hospital in a vlog from the day of his surgery. The video - shared last week on his family's YouTube channel, 'Well Off Media' - captures him sitting in a hospital room before undergoing the procedure with an emotional Tran right next to him. The stunning actress and model, who previously dated Chris Brown , was visibly upset in the clip as she explained what Deion was about to go through and why. Her appearance at the hospital only fueled speculation that she is dating Sanders, who hilariously ended an interview early this week when asked about Tran. Deion Sanders dodges question about Karrueche, claims bad connection, and quickly hangs up. (🎥: Say What Needs To Be Said/YouTube) — The Art Of Dialogue (@ArtOfDialogue_) August 1, 2025 During an appearance on the 'Say What Needs To Be Said' podcast with former NFL player Asante Samuel, the two-time Super Bowl champion was asked about the nature of their relationship after she was seen by his side in the vlog. 'Don't kill the messenger,' Samuel said at the end of the interview. 'Everyone seen Karrueche Tran by your side during your hospital visit. Everyone wants to know what that friendship is.' Sanders then jokingly pretended his connection was cutting out in a bid to dodge the question, before closing his computer and ending the call. Samuel burst into laughter before going on to praise him for his leadership and wisdom. Tran's most famous previous relationship came when she began dating R&B icon Brown back in 2011, before they briefly split when he reconnected with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna a year later. In 2013 the pair rekindled their romance for another two years, only for it to end on a sour note when Brown was accused of sending her threatening text messages and voicemails. A judge granted Tran a five-year restraining order against him in 2017 after she shared evidence of the messages in court, while she also alleged that he punched her in the stomach twice and pushed her down the stairs. She also briefly dated Migos rapper Quavo, which came before a longer-term relationship with former NFL star Victor Cruz from 2017-21. As for Sanders, he has been married twice to first wife Carolyn Chambers, with whom he had daughter Deiondra and son Deion Jr, before tying the knot again with Pilar Biggers-Sanders - the mother of sons Shilo and Shedeur as well as another daughter in Shelomi. Following his divorce from Pilar, Deion was also previously engaged to Tracey Edmonds before they called it off in 2019. In a press conference with his doctor last week, Sanders shared that he is now cancer-free after having his bladder removed earlier this year.

Trump evicts his own wife in White House ballroom blitz
Melania Trump will need to find new office space after her husband's plans take over the White House CHIP SOMODEVILLA/GETTY IMAGES It may be hard to imagine, but Donald Trump's plans for a new ballroom in the White House might be less than romantic. The list of people being evicted by the project in the building's east wing happens to include his wife. Melania will need new office space in Washington, which is a shame as her reading of the news from Ukraine has made her one of the president's more effective foreign policy advisers. In fact, there is fresh evidence of Mr Trump's need for help with foreign affairs. His administration has said 'upwards of 200 countries' contacted them about tariffs, which must be news to the US State Department as their website only lists 197 independent states. Perhaps Trump is including uninhabited Antarctic territories which he has also tariffed. Some nations may be recognising Palestine, but Trump is doing the same for penguins. Comedian Frank Skinner was pleased when the King invoked 'It's coming home' this week, because the phrase was rather absent from the Lionesses' Euros campaign. The words are from the song Skinner co-wrote for Euro '96 and he thinks politics is behind its disappearance. 'Someone who worked for the FA told me that … members from other football associations had said it is very jingoistic to suggest that England is the home of football,' Skinner said on Frank Off the Radio. Maybe, or perhaps it's because our women bring football home so regularly that they've rendered the song obsolete? 'Four years of hurt' doesn't sound too bad, but Skinner can rely on the men's team to keep topping up their hurt-o-meter. • Sarina Wiegman boogies to Burna Boy at England Euros parade in London Reshuffle fever is still untreatable in SW1A, but always be wary of such rumours. Former deputy cabinet secretary Helen MacNamara tells the Institute for Government she would 'mischievously' get tongues wagging by randomly wheeling out the reshuffle 'whiteboard' which charts who has what job. 'It used to sit in the corner of my office, shrouded in a sheet,' she said. 'I'd take the sheet off it, and somebody coming in would be like 'What's going on?'' Gossip could get out of hand. In one reshuffle, a minister was thought to be in line for a move, but returned from Downing Street with the same job, and was bemused that civil servants had taken his name off the door and packed his possessions into a box. The novelist Philip Pullman is not generating much hype for his forthcoming memoir. 'I haven't been anywhere and I've not done very much — all I've done is sit in a room and write books,' he told an event given by bookseller Waterstones and publisher Scholastic, who'll have to work on some better blurb. Pullman is marking 30 years of the His Dark Materials trilogy, and 40 years of working with his editor David Fickling. The latter was still green in publishing when he read his first Pullman manuscript. 'I've just read the most amazing book,' he told a colleague at Oxford University Press. 'What am I supposed to do now?' His colleague looked up from the dictionary he was compiling and replied: 'I think you're supposed to publish it.' The RAF has appointed Suraya Marshall to the rank of Air Vice-Marshal. This means that there are now two Marshal Marshalls in the force, as her husband Allan Marshall is Air Marshal Marshall. That's one for General Knowledge.
