    Chyna not only passed away from an OD, she also died of a broken heart. So sad and heartbreaking the way that she passed away. Even more gutwrenchingly pathetic was that out of all of the D Generation-X members, the only one that attended her funeral was Sean "Xpac" Waltman. R.I.P. Chyna, the wrestling community will forever miss you.....

    I remember watching this documentary when it came out and crying my eyes out by the time it ended. I wasn’t watching when she was at her peak, but her story is one of the saddest stories in wrestling. She had everything and lost it all. All because she was betrayed by the man she loved. I truly believe she never got over that, and that’s what led to her downfall. What Stephanie and Paul did was really messed up. The least they could have done for her was apologize and gave her the induction she deserved when she was still here.

      From the various docs I watched this summer about her, I think Paul was just one of many men that let her down and broke her. First was her father then Paul and those around her that failed her or only furthered her along that destructive path. Even X-Pax said they shouldn't have been together as they were both heavily addicted to drugs at the time they were together. I had thought she was doing well in China (or Japan, can't remember where she was at before coming back to USA) but seems she was spiraling there as well with a s*icide attempt but then that "manager" that seemed more interested in his own agenda instead when she came back to America, only furthered her to her end. She wasn't ready for a comeback but he kept pushing her and still has her ashes that he's making money on (unless he finally relinquished them to her mother).

    Whats even more horrible was that when Chyna was fired from WWF, the contracts at the time did not allow wrestlers to move over to over companies for at least a couple of years due to wcw vs wwf. So her downward spiral was also led due to her not being able to continue her art and to wrestle. Its so sad. They took her man and her passion of wrestling. RIP

    Chyna was so impressive that she truly transcended the boundary between 'male' wrestler and 'female' wrestler and for a great part of her career she was just Chyna, a wrestler. After her surgeries she was genuinely much more attractive and they pushed her into the women's division where she squashed everyone. This, with the end of her relationship to HHH, and the drama/beef that materialized around that (with Stephanie too), signified the end for Chyna as a character and a wrestling product.

      The thing about addiction is that the time period where the individual is doing well (as you mentioned she was) can actually end up being the most dangerous time because a large percentage of drug overdoses occur when addicts are clean and have been doing well for a while and then suddenly relapse after that long period of not using. When they relapse, they take the same amount that they always did in the past which previously was not all that much, but because they've been clean for a while, their tolerance to the drug drops dramatically, so the same amount that used to do be a normal dose ends up killing them.

    Its sad because if she was born 25 years later and only just came to the WWE, she would be getting a complete different reaction than what she got in the 90s. She was questioned openly by interviewers about her physique not being feminime. People saying she was a freak or manly. What Larry king said there wasn't a question it was loaded to belittle her no matter what her reply was.
    But when you compare her to every other WWE diva there's ever been she's the most impressive and in my eyes beautiful. Nowadays theres many attractive females online who make a lot of money and have a lot of admirers for having the same look that chyna pioneered.
    Just goes to show how thickle and shallow society is. And how quickly and drastically a certain point of view can completely change.
    Ultimately she was kept down and condemned by 2 groups of people. Firstly men who felt intimidated by her. Manily weak men who prefer to be able to physically impose themselves on women. They couldn't do that with chyna. and secondly would be women who were jealous of that same fact. Jealous that men couldn't push her around. So instead of praising her for this strength, they would be little her saying she wasnt feminine.

    I really feel for her… I been watching wrestling since a young girl and when I first seen Chyna..my mind was blown…at first I wasn’t sure if I like her or not but she grew on me and she did amazing stuff in the ring… it’s just sad when you hear the other side that we don’t see on camera then really gets you…they did her dirty and they basically kept her out of the Hall Of Fame is a shame…she did so much that she deserves her own spot.

    Chyna stood her ground with all the top folks like Austin, Undertaker, The Rock, Mankind, DX and whoever. There was a fit for her within that whole universe. How she is remembered and was treated is very distasteful considering how valuable and larger than life she seemed at the peak of her time there.

    I have to say, Chyna was one of a kind. I saw how much she changed in apperance and was already in love with her. When she was fired from the WWF, I was sad to hear that. Years passed, trying to get a glimpse of how she is doing, learning how her end was a more tragic way, it hurts. She broke more glass ceilings for women in wrestling than any other.
    RIP Chyna, you are the Ninth Wonder of the World.

    Joanie was such a good person. Beautiful inside and out. Gentle giant.
    She didn't deserve any of what she was put through. Neither did anyone else in that business, the good ones got traumatized and disposed of. Of them all, she deserved it least of all. Love you and miss you Joanie.

    That’s always how you can tell whether it’s a work or real when someone leaves a wrestling company. In a work, the announcers and talent will badmouth them/talk about them during a show. When it’s real, they’re erased, like they were never there at all.

    OMG i need an hour of this. I grew up idolizing Chyna. I was in the 3rd and my mom was puzzled why i look up to this huge woman. When Spice Girls was what little girls loved back then .
    At a young age I saw talent. I never thought of her as someone sexy and beautiful, but someone who is in the world of sports entertainment and is just so good at it. Then later as I grew older, i realised her beauty is just a bonus. She was such a beautiful woman… and she did not deserve this ending. My heart hurts thinking about her death. Rest in Peace Joanie. We love you Ninth wonder of the world. Thank you for being such an inspiration! You are a legend.

    Chyna would always be the GOAT for me. She looked like an Amazonian warrior and had beauty in equal proportions to a goddess. God, I miss seeing her on TV so much.

    I was a little girl when she started and at the time I loved Xena and Chyna was like the wrestling version. If it wasn't for Chyna I don't think I would love WWF/WWE like I did.

    Chyna wanted to get paid the same amount as the top guys. HHH used her just the way he used Shawn and then he married the bosses daughter.

      People make out as if she was mad or greedy for that but she did have a very good argument for it and more importantly, was a draw (her issue of Playboy outsold Sable). Even Mick Foley has said this. Chyna was as well known as Stone Cold, The Rock, etc.
      Not only that but if WWF paid her that, they would have to utilize her to get a ROI. They couldn't dump her in the lackluster women's division at the time. I think that was more important to her than the money, she wanted to be wrestling the guys and at the very least be on the male midcard in the US/IC title scene.

    As a women we can all relate to her for never being enough for society standards of what is beautiful and the bullying and the slander can do a lot to a person mind many women who are different are often made to look bad because they don’t fit in

    At the end of the day, we are responsible for our own destructive decisions. I do believe that HHH & Stephanie situation dealt her a fatal blow that she could never quite recover from though. It’s unfortunate, I loved seeing her growing up. As a kid she seemed larger than life. It’s crazy that someone who seemed so powerful and strong could be irreparably undone by a bad breakup.

    If Chyna was in the wwe today she would have been a huge megastar multiple title runs, she truly was a pure hearted soul. I love Triple H but this was his one huge mistake he ever did in his entire career.

  • @FlexWheeler2nd

    I think when we take a step back and remember that WWE is an entertainment company, and not a competitive sports league, we realize, just like in Hollywood, you're on top of the world one minute and yesterday's news the next. When the company doesn't think you're bringing in the money anymore, or in Chyna's case, the jilted ex-girlfriend of the star now dating the boss's daughter, one wink or nod from the boss and you're erased. Sure she was a legend, but with anything in entertainment, you get fired and the next big thing is just around the corner. The whole thing of whether or not she should've been inducted into the WWE HOF long ago, come on! That HOF is just more entertainment. It's not like being inducted into Canton. From the interpersonal, relational, and moral standpoint, like Vince Russo said on his podcast the day after she died, all she wanted was closure from HHH and Stephanie, but of course they weren't going to give it to her. It hurts their bottom line, their reputation, all of that. As a die hard fan growing up in the Hulkamania days in elementary school and later again in college during the Attitude Era, I see now it's just one big circus that hyped us up, but it took a toll on the performers in terms of physical health, mental health, and life in general. Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now.

    I relate to Chyna. She never felt loved or accepted or liked how she looked. She finally felt loved only to be abandoned by Hunter and the friends she had in the company. It destroyed her. I’m no Chyna but I’ve been looking for love my whole life and it destroys a person.

    She was the real life Xena. Absolutley beautiful woman. Triple H picked the bosses daughter over her.
    Huge respect for xpac for being one of the few to talk good of her.
    Its so sad she was bombarded with so much hate. If she was around today she would be celebrated.
