1964

Terri Poch (born August 20, 1964) is an American former bodybuilder and professional wrestler, best known for her appearances with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as Tori.

She has since opened her own yoga studio in Portland.

1988

Poch debuted in 1988 as Taylor Made, a valet for Scotty the Body in Portland's Pacific Northwest Wrestling.

1990

She joined the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA) in 1990 as Terri Power, defeating both Leilani Kai and Judy Martin within her first year with the company.

1992

On February 23, 1992 at Super Ladies Showdown in Rochester, Minnesota in the Mayo Civic Center, she defeated Lady X for the LPWA Championship.

She was never defeated for the title, as the LPWA ceased operations shortly after her victory.

She also teamed with Reggie Bennett during their mutual stint with the short-lived organization.

In the summer of 1992, Poch began wrestling for All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling.

She competed in the Japan Grand Prix, finishing ninth, and the Fuji Network tag team tournament with Kyoko Inoue as her partner.

1993

She remained in Japan until 1993, when she took a hiatus from wrestling.

1998

In 1998, Poch was hired by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).

She debuted on the December 28 episode of Raw entering the ring before a match to hand Sable a yellow rose.

She continued in becoming an obsessed fan over the next few weeks, constantly at ringside during Sable's matches.

At the Royal Rumble, she helped Sable defeat Luna Vachon in a strap match.

She later introduced herself as Tori and tried to gain the respect of Sable, who continually degraded and humiliated her.

Tori defeated Luna in a singles match which resulted in a disqualification against Luna.

Tori soon challenged Sable to a match for the Women's Championship at WrestleMania XV, which Sable won following interference from her bodyguard, Nicole Bass.

Following Wrestlemania Tori and Ivory went on to defeat Sable and Jacqueline with Tori pinning Jacqueline via a backslide, immediately after Tori challenged Sable but this was cut short by the Ministry of darkness who came to the ring to pursue Sable.

1999

Tori feuded with Jacqueline in April and May 1999 scoring several pinfalls over Jacqueline and then began pursuing Ivory's Women's Championship in July.

Tori scored a pinfall over Lexie Fyffe prior to her match against Ivory at SummerSlam, Ivory would go on to retain her championship.

Tori defeated Ivory the following night in an evening gown match and after this their feud became more and more heated, leading to the first-ever WWF women's Hardcore match on the September 6, 1999 edition of Raw.

Ivory retained her title once more in a match which involved Tori having a mirror smashed over her head and being burnt with an iron.

On September 26, Tori attempted to gain a measure of retribution by attacking Ivory during a match but instead was pushed into a crate by Ivory.

Tori was part of an 8-woman Survivors Series match in 1999 where her team would go on to be the victors.

She wrestled Luna, Ivory and Jaqueline in a femme fatale four-way match at the UK pay per view Rebellion in 1999.

Tori wrestled The Kat in a thong chocolate pudding match which resulted in a loss on the December 13 episode of Raw.

She was challenged by male wrestler X-Pac to a match on the December 14 episode of Smackdown, which resulted in a losing effort.

Tori returned in November and soon became the on-screen girlfriend of Kane.

On December 16, Tori complained to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon about Kane, by now feuding with his former tag team partner X-Pac, an ally of Triple H, being placed in a Handicap match.

Stephanie retorted by challenging Tori to a match that night, which she accepted.

Stephanie, however, replaced herself with X-Pac, who defeated Tori with ease as Kane was ambushed backstage by the Mean Street Posse.

Tori defeated The British Bulldog in a house show match following the Mean Street Posse incident.

Kane received a shot at the WWF Championship on December 20 but with the stipulation that, if he lost to incumbent Big Show, Tori would have to spend the Christmas weekend with X-Pac.

Kane lost after the New Age Outlaws distracted him.

Tori insisted upon her return, however, that X-Pac had been a perfect gentleman.

Around the same time, Tori began to become paranoid, and grew hysterical after Test hugged her.

Kane promptly destroyed Test in the ring, believing Tori's claims that he had harassed her.

Other wrestlers began to exploit Tori's neuroticism, using it to unleash Kane on their enemies.

This included Mankind, who manipulated the duo into attacking a fake Mankind hired by Triple H, and Chyna, who manipulated Tori to get Kane to attack Chris Jericho.

2000

Kane continued to feud with X-Pac, and on January 27, 2000, he was ambushed in the ring by the McMahon-Helmsley Faction when tricking him into joining DX, X-Pac's allies.
