IT truly is the end of an era.

The lovely Torrie Wilson has left the WWE and will never wrestle again.

The federation posted a short message on their website yesterday saying: "WWE has come to terms on the release of Diva Torrie Wilson as of today.

"We wish her all the best in all her future endeavours."

It follows Torrie’s confession last month that she can no longer compete.

In a blog on her MySpace site the gorgeous grappler stated: "I have been told by two back surgeons that I should never set foot in a wrestling ring again if I want to be moving around in a few years on my own.

"Pretty depressing if you ask me.

"I don't even have some awesome memory of what my last match even was or who it was with. Hopefully it was with Victoria and I beat her!

"I guess everything happens for a reason for sure."

While Torrie will never be remembered for her great matches, she was one of the most genuine and beautiful girls the WWE has ever employed.

Always friendly to fans and open in interviews, Wilson will be greatly missed by everyone who follows and covers the sport.

Especially those of us who fondly recall her on-screen snogs with Dawn Marie and Sable.

So in tribute of Torrie’s career and looking forward to more snaps like these in the future – here's a slideshow of some of her best new pics.
