Terri Poch

**Terri Poch Biography**

Terri Poch is an accomplished American bodybuilder and former professional wrestler, renowned for her time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under the ring name Tori. Poch began her wrestling career in 1988 as Taylor Made, serving as a valet for Scotty the Body in Portland’s Pacific Northwest Wrestling. In 1990, she transitioned to the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA) as Terri Power, where she quickly made a name for herself by defeating notable wrestlers like Leilani Kai and Judy Martin. Her crowning achievement came on February 23, 1992, when she captured the LPWA Championship at the Super Ladies Showdown, a title she held undefeated until the organization's closure.

In the summer of 1992, Poch ventured to Japan to compete in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling, where she participated in the prestigious Japan Grand Prix and teamed with Kyoko Inoue in the Fuji Network tag team tournament. After returning to the U.S., she adopted a new persona as The Black Ninja in early 2001, aligning herself with Raven in a storyline that culminated in her unmasking by Molly Holly on March 11, 2001, which marked the end of her WWF tenure.

Post-wrestling, Poch took a hiatus from the ring to focus on her passion for yoga and fitness, ultimately establishing her own yoga studio in Portland. Throughout her career, she has also contributed as a trainer on WWF Tough Enough, shaping the next generation of wrestlers.
