NOTE: the following are theories, since as of yet do we have any "hardcore" evidence supporting them.
the universe is made up of four dimensions (3 spatial, 1 temporal), which is what we call "space-time" as coined by Einstein. Blackholes develop after the explosion of massive stars ("supernovas"), where an enormous amount of mass leftover from the core of the star (which could be anywhere from Jupiter-size to 10x Sun size and composed of mostly of iron) is compressed almost instantly into a volume the size of a marble or smaller.
*Just think when you put a bowling ball on a trampoline, how the trampoline curves to support the mass; as the volume decreases, the curve increases because now there is a greater mass per unit volume that needs to be compensated for. Now continue shrinking that until the mass of the bowling ball is compressed in a volume the size of a grain of sand. The curve now intensifies to near infinity. This is what occurs in a blackhole.*
The distortion of space-time occurs near any mass; even the Earth itself distorts ST a little, but not to the extent of an object with 100,000,000 tons per unit volume or greater. Go back to the trampoline conception. There will be a point where, when the volume is so small and the mass so great, that the trampoline will not be able to support it anymore because of the penetrability into the its fabric that it tears. This is what one would call "infinity."
But is that the same case with blackholes. Are there masses that can "tear" through ST like the mass on the trampoline did? What would happen then?
There are many theories, but I'll only discuss the three big ones: 1) it tears through into nothingness and everything that gets sucked into it disappears forever; 2) if we believe that the universe is saddle or U-shaped ("taco-shaped" is what I like to call it), then the mass rips through ST in one place and comes out of the other side, forming a wormhole in the process. It is uncertain as to whether anything, even light, would be able to make it through due to the incredible forces of ST ripping away at you, but ehh; 3) according to string theorists, ripping through our ST will bring you to another universe embedded within the same universe, but with different spatial dimensions, laws, and constants. As Brian Greene (famous string theorist) puts it, "The real universe is like a loaf of bread and our visible universe is just one slice, penetrating it would bring you to the slice below it."
So, to answer your question, the distortion is not what causes wormholes, its whether the object has so much mass per unit volume that it "rips" ST, distortion is just a by-product.
If I were you, I would read more books on this subject, because it is a very interesting one. Stephen Hawking, the leading expert on blackholes, is excellent, along with Einstein's theories explained (abridged of course, no one can understand his unabridged). For string theory, Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" is a great intro to this revolutionary topic.

The following is copyrighted by me and saying this theory is yours will automatically cause a penalty of up to £300.00 or $400.00 or 500.00 euros.
But a hole in space is an inverted bump in space of which the bottom is the densest high-dimensional area of 3d space. This curve is 3d on a 5d warp area. Producing more space where space is already there. So a dint in space is created. But if a hole-dint is formed inside a hole-dint it has no dimensional capabilities so it bores a hole. So what happens if you invert it twice. The further the bore goes into the second brane the more likely a black hole is to form if the dint goes through the second brane as well then a tunnel leads to the second brane, thus creating a wormhole leading to subspace. Leading to subspace you need to travel through the second brane universe and go through until you find another wormhole leading to the first brane as our universe.
There is 3 high dimensional layers, the 1st brane, the second brane and the space between I call false or dark space that is required. If you go through to the brane that the wormhole's negative energy will move your time into an old time in the second brane then this will make the exotic or negative energy warp one end of the wormhole with exotic matter with the second universe's brane and keep your time. This will allow you to enter another time when you enter back to our universe. Enabling spacetime warping. So a super black hole is safer as wormhole than a normal one.

Blackholes do not create wormholes.
Wormholes can theoretically exist from solutions of the Einstein Field Equations, but nothing has been found in our Universe that satisfies the criteria to create them. It is not know if the Universe could support such features.
Blackholes are a strictly one way arrangement!

Hi Skullrag
Some ..errr... "interesting" answers above. Make sure you critically analyse what you read before accepting it. :o)
The short answer is "no". Black holes have three distinct macroscopic characteristics: mass, charge and spin (angular momentum). There are solutions to einstein's equations which describe black holes with various permutations of these characteristics:
* a Schwrazschild black hole has mass but no charge or spin
* a Kerr black hole has mass and spin but no charge
* a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole has mass and charge but no spin
* a Kerr-Newman black hole has mass, charge and spin
The R-N and K-N black holes are unlikely to exist in nature for long because such a hole would tend to neutralise itself by preferentially attracting opposite charges. The Kerr black hole is most likely because the stars which create stellar black holes are spinning to begin with. Schwarzschild black holes are more likely in the long future when Kerr black holes have lost their angular momentum.
The spinning black holes are most likely to contain wormholes, however these wormholes don't lead to the same region (or "universe") as the entry point. In the maximal solutions the wormholes lead to "white holes" in different regions of the chart.
Note that you can have wormhole solutions in GR without black holes. These wormholes require exotic mass-energy to maintain, although recent solutions suggest that quantum scale wormholes might be made stable.
Hope this helps!

Actually, when black holes and white holes meet, they make a wormhole and this may be the secret to time travel.

wormholes,warp holes,dimension holes etc are theoretical.there were not proven or atleast are even hard to prove in the nearest future.nobody can go near a black to test anything nor we can simulate anything like a black hole.so unless we can simulate black hole we dont know what is there or going to be in it.

That would require scientiific testing on multiple black holes to determine, which as of yet is impossible for our level of technology. It's possible but not able to be proven.

It's just theoretical physics, we don't even know if wormholes are possibles.

Do an yahoo search for "KIp Thorne", you will learn so much more than just the answer.
I actually forgot the answer, I think it's generally smaller black holes are more powerful than the massive one's.
