...but did you know one of the most famous professional wrestlers in the world is from the Gem State? Yep, they're even in the WWE Hall of Fame!

The WWE legend in question? The fantastic Torrie Wilson, of course!

Torrie was born and raised in Boise, Idaho, where she fell in love with numerous sports at a young age. She'd begin her career as a model, then working in fitness, and eventually, professional wrestling.

Wilson made her debut in 1999 during the WCW "Invasion" storyline on WWE television (WWF at the time), and she was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2019.

While Wilson isn't seen much on WWE programming these days, she did make an appearance in 2024, announcing picks of the '24 WWE Draft, alongside Michelle McCool.

These days, Wilson spends her time as a web-based fitness instructor, and blogger.

Wondering if pro-wrestling is still popular in Boise? Well, take a look at this.

Earlier this year, a one-of-a-kind traveling wrestling event sold out in the City of Trees, so, yeah, we like us a little wrasslin' around here.

Have you been to a movie and spotted your favorite wrestler on the big screen yet? That's becoming a scenario that's tougher and tougher to avoid, as many stars are moving from the squared circle to Hollywood!

Here's a list of a few of our favorites.

10 Wrestlers Who Landed Roles in Superhero Movies

Who on earth didn't mark out when Macho Man Randy Savage suddenly appeared as the badass 'Bonesaw' in Spiderman? "Bonesaw is ready!!!"

Superhero movies were practically built for wrestling's most legendary performers. It's true that Hulk Hogan was unable to translate his explosive in-ring success into box office gold, but performers like Jesse Ventura and Rowdy Roddy Piper did prove that wrestlers could carry major roles in action films like Predator and They Live!

At the turn of the millennium, as the Marvel and DC Universes birthed some of the most profitable film franchises of all time, wrestlers like Dave Bautista and The Rock would nab starring roles as some of cinema's most powerful heroes. In turn, long forgotten pro wrestlers would experience career rejuvenations thanks to their god-given size and ability to connect with an audience.

Whether it be 'Drax' in the multi-billion dollar franchise Guardians of the Galaxy or 'Claw' in a Hong Kong superhero sequel you've probably never heard of, we're still popping whenever a WWE favorite makes an appearance on the silver screen.

Check out these 10 wrestlers who landed roles in superhero movies in the gallery below.
