Tori (original name - Terri Poch; born August 20, 1964) is a former professional wrestler, who is known for being signed to the WWE.

## Career

### *WWF (1998-2001)*

#### Sable's fan & enemy (1998-1999)

In 1998, Terri Poch was signed to the WWE and got given the name Tori. She made her TV debut on the December 28 episode of Raw when she entered the ring before a match to give a yellow rose to Sable. She was portrayed as a crazy and obsessive Sable fan, who always was at ringside during her matches. At Royal Rumble 1999, Tori interfered in the Women's Championship match between Sable and Luna Vachon, allowing Sable to win. She wanted to be respected by Sable, but ended up being humiliated and made fun of by her. Following this, Tori challenged Sable for a title match at WrestleMania XV, which she later lost, due to Nicole Bass interfering.

#### Feuding with Jacqueline and Ivory (1999)

In April 1999, Tori started working at house shows with Jacqueline and Ivory (usually triple-threat or mixed-tag matches). At No Mercy 1999 (UK), Tori got defeated by Nicole Bass in 27 seconds. Tori working with Jacqueline led to televised matches on shows like "WWF Shotgun Saturday Night" or "WWF Sunday Night Heat". She also started feuding with Ivory, which led to a title match at SummerSlam 1999, which Tori lost. They continued their feud and later had an Evening Gown and a Hardcore match. Tori managed to win the Evening Gown match, but lost the Hardcore one. She got another championship opportunity, being part of the four-way at Rebellion 1999, losing again. During her feud with Ivory, Tori got involved in a lot of bumps, such as being hit with a mirror, burnt with an iron or pushed into a crate.

#### Kane's and X-Pac's Girlfriend & D-Generation X (1999-2000)

Tori soon became Kane's girlfriend, accompanying him to matches, but also trying to help him. After complaining to Triple H & Stephanie McMahon about Kane being placed in a Handicap match on the December 16, 1999 episode of SmackDown, Stephanie challenged Tori to a match. However, Stephanie tricked Tori, who was instead put against X-Pac. She lost the match while Kane was attacked backstage. Tori was later put on the line in a men's title match - because Kane lost, Tori had to spend Christmas weekend with X-Pac. Afterwards, Tori's behaviour began to change and she started being paranoid. This made Kane aggressive towards the people that harmed her, with others using Tori's psychological issues to manipulate Kane. On the January 27, 2000 episode of SmackDown, Tori turned on Kane and allied with X-Pac. She also became a member of D-Generation X, often interfering in different matches. On the March 30, 2000, Tori helped Stephanie McMahon win the WWF World Women's Title. At Wrestlemania 2000, Tori got a Stinkface from Rikishi after trying to disrupt the match. At King of the Ring 2000, Tori was part of the Three on Two Handicap Table and Dumpster match with The Road Dogg & X-Pac against the Dudley Boyz, losing after the Dudley Boyz put her through a table. She then had to get surgery after she tore her labrum. After a successful surgery, Tori returned on the October 30, 2000 episode of RAW is WAR, where she slapped and broke up with X-Pac, leaving D-Generation X.

#### The Black Ninja, Tough Enough & Release (2000-2001)

After again taking some time off at the end of 2000, Tori returned in January 2001 as The Black Ninja (wearing a mask and black bodysuit). She briefly allied with Raven (for his Hardcore Championship feud) against Crash Holly and Molly Holly, who unmasked her on the March 11, 2001 episode of Sunday Night Heat. Tori was then taken away from television. She then served as a trainer on season 1 of Tough Enough, being released in September 2001, almost directly after the season ended.
