History Wrestling / TerriPoch

* PowerStable: Wrestling/DGenerationX and the [=McMahon=]-Helmsley Regime.

Terri Poch (born August 20, 1964) is a retired American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er, manager and trainer from UsefulNotes/{{Portland}}, Oregon known for her work in the early 1990s as Terri Power and for Wrestling/{{WWE}} from 1998-2001 as Tori. She started her career as Taylor Made Medina, the valet for [[Wrestling/{{Raven}} Scotty the Body (Scott "Raven" Levy)]] in NWA Pacific Northwest Wrestling in 1988. She made her in-ring debut in 1990 as Terri Power in the [=LPWA=], as well as competing in various women's independent promotions. She competed there until the promotion closed in 1992, and then switched to Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling before taking a hiatus in 1993. She returned to wrestling in 1998 when she became Tori. Her original character was as a "fan" of Wrestling/{{Sable}}, which ended when Sable rejected her. Tori then went into a feud with Wrestling/{{Ivory}} over the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-wm.html WWE Women's Title]], which included them competing in the first-ever hardcore match for the title on the September 6, 1999 ''Raw.'' She then became Wrestling/{{Kane}}'s unstable girlfriend, which ended when she [[FaceHeelTurn turned heel]] on him and joined [=DX=]. That lasted until ''King of the Ring'' in June 2000, when Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys powerbombed her through a table. Her last onscreen role was as Raven's masked ninja woman, which was interesting since her [[BookEnds first-ever role]] in the business was as Levy's valet. She was one of the trainers for the first season of ''Wrestling/WWEToughEnough.'' She retired after her departure from WWF. She is a 1x [[http://www.solie.org/titlehistories/stllpwa.html LPWA Champion]].

* UrExample: Of the LoonyFan[=/=]PsychoLesbian[=/=]StalkerWithACrush character Wrestling/MickieJames would play in her storyline with Wrestling/TrishStratus to much greater success in 2006.

* EvilIsSexy: Invoked by Wrestling/JimRoss when she was in DX, calling her "The excitingly evil dangerous doll Tori."

* BareYourMidriff: Her signature style of outfits in WWE.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Her last name Poch has been pronounced as 'pock' by Ivory in her shoot interview, rather than with a 'ch' sound at the end.

As usual, you can find the basics at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terri_Poch The Other Wiki]].

* PowerStable: [[Wrestling/{{DGenerationX}} [=DeGeneration=] X]] and the [=McMahon=]-Helmsley Regime.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Face Tori typically wore red, white or yellow in varying types of animal print. Heel Tori wore almost exclusively [[Wrestling/DGenerationX green and black]].

!! "Tropes":

* OneSteveLimit: Not to be confused with either Wrestling/TorrieWilson or [[Characters/WWEDivas Terri Runnels]]. What's more is that she was taken off TV shortly before Torrie Wilson was hired and they never appeared on screen together.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: On the August 26, 1999 episode of ''[=SmackDown!=]'', she was scheduled to face Ivory in an Evening Gown Match. Wrestling/MichaelCole, still a neutral character, attempted to interview Tori backstage before the match as she walked away from the camera. Tori pulled down her evening gown, saying that there was no way Ivory was going to humiliate her, and, with [[ToplessnessFromTheBack her back to the camera]], walked around backstage wearing only a [[ThongOfShielding thong]] and shoes until she was stopped by a group of referees and [[RetiredBadass Road Agent]] Tony Garea, who gave her his shirt to wear. Tori won, of course, in 57 seconds. The fact that she was attempting to walk to the ring practically naked on national network television should qualify for RefugeInAudacity.
* ShoutOut: On the 2001 ''Divas in Hedonism'' [=DVD=], talked about growing up admiring bombshells such as Raquel [=Welch=] and Tempest Storm, and a picture of Welch in the fur bikini from ''{{Film/One Million Years BC}}'' is shown. Presumably her animal print attire is a nod to this.

* {{Unperson}}: WWE seems to have chosen to ignore her existence. She is not even on the Alumni page on WWE's website and doesn't seem to rate a Where Are They Now? story. She herself dropped off the radar almost completely and didn't make a wrestling related appearance for over 10 years. She has said she's not much of a mainstream person.
