CHYNA FULL WWF CAREER - WAS IT GOOD? RE-UP

[@TWOnly666]

How important was Chyna to wrestling? Chyna stopped wrestling on national television on a weekly basis in 2001. And still girls that get into wrestling that were born in 2000s still talk about Chyna as an inspiration.

[@BrotherRobbie]

Chyna and Eddie was one of the best angles for both wrestlers. They did an amazing job, and it was a blast to watch em. Sad both of them went down the bad path that lead to early deaths. Solid characters and promos!

[@Oscirus]

For Chyna maybe not even top 5 for eddie

[@Musiclover19]

@@Oscirus I’m no fan of Chyna and I’m a HUGE fan of Eddie Guerrero. But to be fair to say pairing Eddie with Chyna didn’t elevate Eddie in any way isn’t fair to her. At the time (obviously not overtime) Chyna was a bigger star than Eddie in WWF and he came off more like such star by being paired with her. Also, Eddie showed way more personality being paired with her than he ever has up to that point. Believe me, I hate to give Chyna that kind of credit, but for whatever reason, she seemed to have bought something out of him that lead to him being the mega over star and future WWE champion.

Eddie didn't go down any bad path he just used steroids

[@alexf9381]

@@Juan_rivera Dude, do your research. Eddie Guerrero fought drug+alcohol addiction for years. After a car accident in 1999, he became hooked on alcohol and on opiate painkillers (chemically the same thing as heroin). In 2001 he went to rehab but relapsed and got into a bad car crash while drunk and high on drugs and WWE fired him. Soon after that he was able to overcome his demons, went back to drug rehab, got clean for good this time and was re-hired by WWE. He was clean from all drugs+alcohol for the last 3/4 years of his life. One of his most infamous promos is the one where he talks to Brock Lesnar where he emotionally details his struggles as a drug addict.

[@lcwuniverse]

You nailed it when you said she was too big for the women but not big enough to hang with most of the men. She was so far ahead of her time and it's just a shame she didn't have credible female opponents at that point because she would have had some great matches with some of the women working today. Respect to her and to what she achieved, always a fan.

[@craigjones1946]

Definitely an icon and a big face of that era. If she had stuck around a little longer what do you think her role in the Invasion angle and post-Attitude/Ruthless Aggression era ?

[@CyberJawa1986]

@@craigjones1946 I think of it every now and then and I’m not sure. They wrote her into a corner with her neck injury being the reason she’s suddenly in the women’s division. I think creative unknowingly ended her run in the men’s division. I do think they tried getting her back in the fold before releasing her in late 2001. If they really wanted to, they could’ve pulled a Sable and let her out of her contract when/if she started to be a issue like Sable. The fact they waited until the end of her contract, and count her time off TV in her reign, to me seems to indicate some level of they tried working with her (JR says Vince wanted her back even though JR didn’t), but it fell apart (my thinking) in the end to me. And then factor Hunter/Stephanie in all of that too. Part of me really thought she’d be the surprise entrant in that Survivor series 2001 6-pack challenge match.

[@acuyra]

I saw her wrestle in New Japan, and I was just stunned by how great she was. She was faster, more athletic, more explosive than I ever remembered her in WWE. She reminded me a lot of Charlotte Flair or Bianca Belair - this incredible, do anything athlete. Damn shame the road she went down.

Was she the best wrestler ever? No, but she did do better than most women in her era. She was a crossover star and she had huge potential if she could have kept clean. She deserves her own solo hall of fame induction.

Chyna needs her own induction in the hall of fame by her family.

She was more than that. 9th wonder of the world. You are missed.

[@KevinSkye1]

Man I'm not gonna lie, when Chyna was being held down on her knees. As a kid when I saw that, she looked so f'n uncomfortable and damn near terrified. A completely different look than what I was used to seeing at the time. Either that was a shoot look or she was just really good at acting. Stuff still makes me feel uncomfortable looking at it today.

[@alexf9381]

Definitely just good acting as she also utilized during the part where she acted like she broke her neck. Yeah that part where she was on her knees was really uncomfortable but for the year prior to that she was shown as the heel bad guy with no emotion and willing to hurt anyone as her role as Triple H's muscle. So they wanted to flip it on us and make us feel as much pity for her as possible in her new role as babyface.

[@Jaguar2kicks]

Chyna was really good! And honestly, I think she really helped Triple H a lot. The duo was great and I really just remembered them.

The original trailblazer 👏🏾 Chyna baby my opinion, you were definitely ahead of your time but was a decent part of my childhood growing up💯 she was something truly special to watch in the ring to which I agree late 99-00 Chyna was her peak ‼️ She no doubt earned that 9th wonder of the world nickname...still n forever my heart remembers Chyna 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯

[@hihihi1q23]

Honestly, I feel like she lost a lot of her magic when she had facial surgery to look more feminine. She also slimmed down and got implants. She was still big, but she didn't look like the huge, hulking beast she was in her debut.

[@HarmonySword]

Hindsight is 20/20 so with that said: Chyna defied how a woman was portrayed in wresting back in the day. She wasn't a defenseless valet like a Marlena or Miss Elizabeth. She was THE muscle of DX. This was the one time you would be afraid of her more than Triple H or HBK. Also her accomplishments are impossible to recreate today from being in the King of the Ring to winning the IC belt and being a legitimate competitor in the Royal Rumble (none of this spot stealing like what Beth Phoenix or Nia Jax did just to make the guy look weak) But she did no favors for the women's division due to her thinking it was a downgrade compared to wresting men. It would be women like Trish and Lita who helped elevate the division after Chyna was gone. So overall, Chyna was truly one of a kind and i feel she would thrive in today's women's division

[@abdelbabytigerbenjamin6615]

Chyna is my favorite female wrestler ever. It's a real shame I never got the chance to meet her.

Lastly, Chyna had that "it" factor that catapults people straight into stardom, she really was a wonder.

If you’re curious about the SummerSlam ‘99 build, Chyna was actually planned to win the WWF title at that show. A few weeks before, Vince McMahon changed his mind after allegedly deciding she wasn’t a good enough worker to earn the title. I presume the IC title was a consolation prize.

Chyna was wrong with the idea that wrestling women was below her. She could have done amazing things for the women's division. Just saying.

[@byroncormier8532]

Chyna was the Attitude Era equivalent of the Ultimate Warrior in that she had a unique look, great character, protected by the office, and had a genuine charismatic aura about her. However, much like UW, she was average at best in the ring and only shone when her opponent could carry her. Her career gets looked at with extra rose tinted glasses because of it being the Attitude Era and she became a crackhead drunkard in the later stages of her life and that makes people sad. Several of her opponents have said she was difficult to work with and not very good. Her ego got over inflated because she was pretty much a one of a kind talent at the time. She looked more dominant than the other women at the time but that didn't necessarily mean she was more talented than all of them. Chyna also looked completely outclassed against the main eventers of the time and never should have been taken seriously against any of them. She had a great run with a few truly memorable angles in there but the one angle she's most widely applauded for was only successful because of Eddie Guerrero being so damn great. Let's face it the Latino Heat angle got over because of Eddie and not Chyna. Eddie would have made that golden working with any of the other women on the roster at the time. She was a solid if unspectacular midcarder.

[@vasglorious]

I'll never forget Chyna. :(

[@plannein]

I think the reason for the number one contender thing was that Austin said he wouldn't do a match with her but they had to already know that so idk why they set it up in the first place

[@KyleOchoa-k6e]

I grew up in South America, I was literally a toddler when Chyna was in WWE, and STILL I remember knowing who she was as a child. She was so popular. When I was a kid I probably knew like 5-6 WWE wrestlers. Eddie, Rey Mysterio, Hogan, Andre the Giant and Chyna. I think I kinda remember knowing Chris Jericho too. I knew who Chyna was and had no clue who HHH was. I thought the Pedigree was her move. Point is she was a BIG deal.

[@kieranwillis395]

You are right when you go back and look chyna barely wrestled and was heavily protected. Nearly ALL her time was spent in packages with a male too - this is like what all the women were like at the time, nothing different.

I always laugh when the some of the guys during this time hated the idea of selling for Chyna when she was just as muscular as they were, sometimes more so. You look at some of the intergender matches today, where the women are no where near as tall or as jacked as Chyna was, and the guys sell for them like they were men of the same weight, height and build. Tessa Blanchard no sells a Samoan Drop from a guy, legit 300 pounds heavier than she is in a ladder match but the guys here don't want to sell an elbow from Chyna. Yet, a super heavyweight sells for Tessa who's smaller like she's a super heavyweight. It's like we went backwards.

THE GOAT

[@jayt4835]

She was great. Bodyguard Chyna - especially DX as a group was EPIC! Chyna smashing guys and tossing around women was freaking cool. Chyna’s early “solo” push: Mark Henry, corporate rumble, arm wrestling Vince, turning on DX - really got people excited. Jeff was fun and established her proper as a top mid-carder on her own. Despite Jericho regularly disparaging her what they created together really showed how great she could be. Unfortunately the Eddie stuff and eventually the women’s division just diminished her character. She was a second to Eddie which was obviously a step back. Playboy came around so it was matches it high heels and fluff. Then it became more about capitalizing on her looks & fame. Muscle disappeared, the black leather vanished, beating up guys basically went away and it became quick squash matches with women - which didn’t elevate her or the other ladies. That’s particularly shameful because with Ivory, Jackie, Lita, and Tori on the roster there could have been really epic stuff. So bodyguard: A. Early solo: B+. JJ feud: B. Y2J: A. Random / Eddie: B - or C+. Women’s division: B.

[@Iwillone]

She also had a really good mixed match in Japan

[@Loyal_vibes]

Chyna’s best year was 1999 no doubt about it. She became the first and only woman to compete in the Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, become #1 contender to Stone Cold’s WWE championship, defeat Jarrett later to win the IC title all in that year. 1999 alone should give her a solo HOF induction.
