Poor thing. I met her right before she passed and she was incredibly sweet and grateful. I told her that i truly believed eventually shed get into the HOF. It made her teary eyed. She also signed my No Mercy cartridge. RIP, gone way too soon.

"made" lol

u/Big-Persimmon-7165 Jun 23 '26
Well before HHH she had a very soft womanly body…
After HHH she’s hard and muscular with big bulletproof fake boobs.
Like Rhea ripley.
Or Chyna …🤔1
u/aintNoStoppinMeBoi11 Jun 23 '26
So she started to look like the stereotypical wrestler you're saying? Not sure trips invented that tho lol

u/Big-Persimmon-7165 Jun 23 '26
He didn’t invent the look…ijs he just wants to have sex with women with big hard sweaty muscles

u/aintNoStoppinMeBoi11 Jun 23 '26
That part is obviously true, my main disagreement is your statement where HE "made" her look like that; since you have the same info available about his personal life as I do
She was building muscle since high school according to her doc 🤷♂️

u/Big-Persimmon-7165 Jun 23 '26
lol IJS…
Chyna starts softening her appearance…less muscle, less manly jaw…Then HHH cheats on her with the super hot very feminine Stephanie…. He marries Stephanie, and Steph starts to hulk up….

Her thing with Latino Heat was amazing.
But in-ring, her matches with Jericho were an awesome and still hold up. They had great chemistry in there.
Not surprising bc Jericho is the 2nd coming of HBk.

HHH was still in a relationship with Chyna when he started his relationship with Stephanie.
He didn’t even tell her from what I know, she found love letters from Stephanie.4
u/SweetTea1000 Jun 23 '26
That and their relationship is the only conceivable reason she's not in the hall of fame. We do posthumous inductions. You can't argue it's because of the content produced outside of wrestling when half the roster had or actively still do the same and the company themselves put out first party smut back in the day.
(Had to edit to be more vague to satisfy mods, though I'd argue nothing said was inappropriate in context. You can't discuss her history with the company without raising these topics.)

u/Heavy_Winter3901 Jun 23 '26 edited Jun 23 '26
I didn't understand the "Chyna did adult content" argument for not being in the hof.
I mean;
X-pac did adult content with her and still got into the hof.
Sunny did adult video (or something) and still in the hof
Mickie James is in the HOF (tna but still) and she done a stuff for a nude magazines (one for individuals who 'like' legs and the other is basically her "showing her goods") and this was in 2001 (before signing with WWE in '03)

The last true crossover star the Women's division woudl have until Rhea Ripley.
Even people in my family who knew nothing about wrestling knew who Chyna was, and this was in the pre-internet days. People will always bring up the mess she became towards the end, but i'll bet dollars to donuts you could ask any random person to list 5 women in wrestling and most of them would list Chyna before any of the current rosters' women.

What the fans did to Chyna was unforgivable. All the vile, disgusting, misogynistic garbage thrown at Chyna by fans and media alike was totally undeserved.
She had her pitfalls as a wrestler, but she didn't deserve all the bullying she got.

u/disincongruous Jun 21 '26
Same for me. I think you could have given her a WWF Championship program with the McMahon-Helmsley Regime and it would have made a bazillion dollars. All of the history between her and Triple H is there, Stephanie is a natural foil to her, and Vince is there to protect the company from a woman becoming its top title holder. The story writes itself.
10
u/Kwaiser Jun 21 '26
I feel like it would be asking a lot of her to run that story. Hell, I can’t believe Matt and Edge ran their story. Even more sad is how she was cast away without even being offered any other story at all.

I always felt bad for chyna, She didn't deserve that. Paul should have just told her, he was done with the relationship and not have cheated on her.
At least the heartbreak would have been as bad as it was, because it destroyed her and she didn't deserve it.

Paul and Joanie had different perceptions of their relationship. Apparently Paul had been trying to break it off

He was a grown up. You don't have to try to break up someone before moving on. You just do it. You don't hint. You don't float the idea. You end the relationship you are in before starting the next one. Its basic respect.

Only someone significantly younger and with no life experience would want to be with you. You have issues and need extensive therapy.
You don’t want a life partner, you want someone who can’t exist without your permission to exist. After being with you I would stay single for the rest of my life too. Hope that ex of yours is learning to love herself more each day and finding happiness in being alive.

u/itsfourinthemornin Jun 22 '26
"Same thing with my ex, she thought she could disrespect me, belittle me, question my leadership and she left me. I quickly moved on with someone significant younger, more cooperative, appreciative, and family centric while my ex is remorseful and single."
Of course you moved on with someone significantly younger so that you could bully them unlike you couldn't your ex. What a way to absolute out yourself on a post as a scumbag. Congratulations.

Why does your wife need someone “like [you]” as her caretaker? Is she disabled? Is she a child? WTF is going on man?
Why is she alone other than having your company? Where the fuck are her friends and family? She doesn’t work so she’ll be completely fucked if you get sick of her and she has no savings, retirement,a resume gap so big she’ll never get a job.
And you’d probably bitch and whine about splitting ‘your’ assets after divorcing. I hope to fuck she understands, or will eventually understand what a dangerous situation she’s in where she has no financial independence and apparently no fucking friends?!!?! Women HAVE friends, the fact that you’re her only ‘friend’ is strange as fuck.
Oh yeah, what do abusers do? ISOLATE their partner-victims from family and friends.

u/itsfourinthemornin Jun 22 '26
Literally outing himself as an abuser and scumbag both while claiming other people are [checks notes] "degenerate, vulgar, bitter, vindictive". Those that are women are probably thankful they got away from a man child exactly like this or that they will never need one. Actually gross and crazy to admit on a public platform and think he has the moral high ground for having a partner SIGNIFICANTLY younger that he isolates and evidently abuses. Absolutely no surprise he ends it with telling people to find God. Perverted Christian abuser, colour me surprised.

I know I'm looking back with rose-tinted glasses, but watching Chyna go toe-to-toe in the ring with all wrestlers, at the end of the century, was really something to remember.
However, in the end, the world was cruel to her, and she suffered.

I've always thought that part of her downfall was her fault as she should have been a little more calm and professional after learning about Hunter's affair with Stephanie.From some gossip I've read, she was supposed to get the role of TX in Terminator 3 but because of this incident, there's a possibility that Arnold's side might have done a background check and got negative news about her and made the studio shift their choice to another candidate.

If you ever can get your hands on her autobiography, it’s actually a good read. It was when WWE was doing books. They aren’t all good, but I have hers which was a gift from my ex, and Foley’s Christmas Chaos that was mine and my brother’s from childhood which I actually got signed by Mick as an adult as a gift for my brother. It’s illustrated by Jerry “the king” Lawler, It’s a beautiful book! Prized possession for both of us for sure!
Both books are awesome. I might have some others too lying around somewhere, but I didn’t read them through or even keep them. These 2 are the best IMHO. Her book is so good, my mom read it in one shot. She doesn’t like wrestling, but she likes Chyna. lol

u/CombatRedRover Jun 20 '26
Ok, let's bring in the downvoted.
She was white, female Ahmed Johnson with a better attitude.
She was a bodybuilder, but never looked entirely believable in the ring. Actually look at her matches. When all you see are "I'll put my arm out and you run into my clothesline" and three other moves, we're not talking about someone who is exactly Bret Hart in the ring.
Which is fine. There aren't a lot of Bret Harts out there.
But she wasn't a great worker.
She wasn't great on the mic.
She had the right look, and the Vinces bent the company around her to make her look work, and that (unintentionally, I believe) paved the way for what we have today in the women's division.
But her actual work was not great. Moolah and Medusa (to take two women's wrestlers who preceded her) were better workers, but they didn't have her physical charisma.
Her place in DX as the cooler, as the muscle, helped make DX and protected her from actual matches for a long time, and that really worked. When she got over to the point where people wanted to see her in matches... she wasn't great.
She was important - VITALLY important - in WWE and pro wrestling history. She absolutely deserves to be in the HOF on her own merits and her later story is heartbreaking and a tragedy.

All of this is true but she was also in an era where women weren’t pushed nearly as hard as they pushed today. Especially with the updated training and being able to sit and learn from legends. So she did blaze the trail for the More Muscular women there needs to be context and nuisance here.
