I think it's also fascinating that she could speak several languages and play multiple instruments. She must have been an interesting person.

[@DabbaDoya]

She was a beautiful soul with internal demons and a lot of outside negative input. She was blessed inside and out. R.I.P. Chyna. One of our greats gone far too soon.❤

tbh - If that guy that had trained & dated Chyna, married her, and they went on to establish a supplement company, own several gyms, and did private coaching, imo it would've been suffiecient for her to have found purpose, meaning, family and love - a lot of us overreach or think we need the most/biggest, but only because we are naive.

[@kochayeo]

THAT could've been the happy ending Joanie Marie Laurer needed.

[@GerryBlais66]

💪💪💪

[@iLikeMyOwnPosts]

She deserves to be a first ballot hall of famer, to go in by herself. She deserves WWE to improve our perception of her memory by putting her on our screens more often in an respectful capacity - by putting her name on tournaments, battle royals, etc. It is disgraceful what was done to her behind the scenes by Stephanie, XPAC, and HHH. There's only one way to make amends... she deserves respect.

[@AmericanDegenerate]

We can all blame Stephanie McMahon for the reason the WWE treated her that way.

[@MiguelL-qu2eu]

I agree

[@FAIRYGIRL911]

Vince and Triple H moreso than Stephanie

[@hipsterracoon2159]

@@FAIRYGIRL911 Steph too as much as HHH... She knew that the man was taken... I know there will be always women and dudes who would want another person partner but people need to learn don't touch what's not yours...

Ah yes, let’s blame Stephanie for the actions of her psychopath father. Great idea 🙄

[@Tatti349]

​@@isitoveryet9525Stephanie threw a tantrum to daddy vince and told him chyna had to go. Vince would do anything for spolit brat steffy so Stephanie got what she wanted

[@steet2]

Without Chyna there would have been no Divas and the entire women's division wouldn't have been established as easily or as accepted as it was. She was way ahead of her time, and her physique and work ethic was up there with any great champion. RIP Joan

[@shawntorres6262]

Chyna is a wrestling icon that was a trailblazer that paved the way in every sense. Her passing was extremely heart wrenching. I was rooting for her to one day return to WWE for a legends contract and be solely inducted to the WWE Half of Fame.

[@miamimagicians]

You get such chills at 4:20 omg Chyna was the GOAT

[@FallouFitness_NattyEdition]

Anyone that made fun of her body was insane. The woman was gorgeous.

[@6660666]

The wwe did her so dirty. Trying to erase her like they have tried with benoit. She was such a talented wrestler. No female superstar will ever be better then her (in my opinion anyway) rip chyna😢😢😢

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Even ron jeremy banged er. Yes that ron jeremy.😮

[@RippinToons]

Very different situations. Chyna deserves to be represented. Chris Benoit does not. Despite his incredible career and contributions there is not way in hell WWE is going to continue to promote a guy who killed his wife and small child. Brain damage or not. Hard pill to swallow for some. If anyone deserves to be remembered and represented it’s Nancy.

[@mikegeiler2347]

She didn’t do herself any favors by starring in a porno where she had a three way with people portraying vince and Stephanie. Also, she was not a “talented wrestler”. She was terrible. Watch her matches. Watch her almost ruin matches she was only a manager for. She had nothing but looks and ego. I’m not surprised they don’t celebrate her. I wouldn’t either if someone made a porno that parodies me.

[@00tree]

@@RippinToons Agreed.

[@startattoos300]

The WWE did nothing wrong to Chyna. Would let someone work in your company while at the same time that person may have a personal grudge against your child? No, I don't think so. Vince did nothing wrong to Chyna.

[@H4CK41D]

where the heck is part 3 at vice? you released what seems like the ending today with no middle

[@startattoos300]

@@abc_cba I'm not sexist, the WWE has plenty of female wrestling legends. To call Chyna a pioneer for women wrestlers is a bit of a stretch to me. Many of the WWE divas in this generation do not imitate Chyna, do not want to have matches against a male opponent.

Ugh. As one of my favorite wrestlers ever, this is so sad to watch. I remember the day I found out she died. You could tell she was such a good person. She was just dealt so many negative cards. What if she wasn’t born looking different? What if she was never exposed to drugs? What angers me is how people like Vince, Triple H, and Stephanie never acknowledge their part in it. Chyna gets cheated on, thrown away by the company. If you see her struggling, why not lend out a hand to help? Now it’s too late.

I very literally love everything she was in........... It's a true crime against nature that she was never featured in any episode of Xena warrior princess The very big real problem was that she should have surrounded herself. With more positive role models, friends and family. So someone couldn't tell her "Screw wrestling and just act girl!!!!!! No wrestling no porn you're an actress now!!! just act!! You don't even have to be a good one. Just Act"
