Hulk Hogan says Torrie Wilson wants to be in TNA; she says that’s news to her
Former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson refuted Hulk Hogan’s claim that she is seeking employment in TNA.
During an appearance on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show this morning, Hogan said that Wilson has called TNA looking for work.
Wilson responded on Twitter, posting the following:
Loving my life outside of wrestling guys!!! … Hogan tellin Stern im calling tna for work..im not!
When I interviewed Wilson last year, I asked her if she had any interest in TNA. “No,” she said. “Nothing against TNA, but WWE is where you want to be in that industry.”
Wilson asked for and was granted her release from WWE in May 2008 after undergoing back surgery. She has not wrestled since 2007, except for a cameo appearance in the Divas battle royal at WrestleMania XXV.

I think it's fair to say, at this point, that Hulk Hogan's tenure at TNA has been a tremendous disappointment—that his role has been that of a flakey, aged celebrity rather than a wrestling icon. Instead of bringing expertise to TNA, he has brought only circus.

I'm not sure if the rules don't apply since wrestlers are essentially independent contractors but as someone who worked in HR for a very public company before I don't think Hogan should be going on the radio and talking about people seeking employment with TNA true or not. There's privacy laws to protect job "applicants" no matter the type of position.

"Wilson" is a fairly common last name. Maybe another girl named Torrie was calling.
After employing the Nasty Boys and Bubba The Love Sponge, bringing in a total nobody whose name matches Torrie Wilson wouldn't break the Top 5 worst business decisions the company has made this year.

Have you seen the Londrick shoot? It was hilarious. Especially the Benoit stories. Review it maybe?

Hogan simply mixed up the names. No biggie.
