RancidPunx Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 My memory is a little hazy around this but what actually led to her departure from the wwf in 2001? Â I seem to recollect that her contract was up, she asked for a huge increase and they simply didn't negotiate and didn't renew it. Â Is that what happened ?

Daaaaaad! Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Still no tweet from Hunter yet I see. Â Trickier for him to be fair. It's his ex and he's probably more shaken up than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I thought it was more to do with that she didn't like the idea of working for someone that her ex was banging. Plus the idea of them rubbing her nose in it backstage every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Can't say this is a surprise.  It was only a few weeks ago at WrestleMania weekend that she didn't even show up to WrestleCon as she missed her flight, and then when WrestleCon paid for another flight she checked in and didn't even make the plane, if that doesn't set alarm bells ringing I don't know what will so guessing she's had problems recently if she couldn't even make it to a fan signing that people paid in advance for.  She was part of the attitude era and doubt there will ever be another like her, RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Rob Lowe Posted April 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 21, 2016 Pretty incredible how much of an impression she made after just a few years in WWE, 15 years ago. She's been away from mainstream wrestling for a long time,  I thought it was more to do with that she didn't like the idea of working for someone that her ex was banging. Plus the idea of them rubbing her nose in it backstage every week.  To be fair to Trips, I remember stories of Chyna being a massive pain in the arse to deal with, sincerely believing she should main event etc (Perhaps those were false stories to slam her). She was also in an awkward spot in that she could easily kill anyone in the women's division, but she wasnt skilled enough to believably wrestle many of the blokes. Mid card IC matches with Eddie and Jericho looked ridiculous to me.  As others have mentioned, she's been pretty fucked up for at least a decade. Every six months there'd be a whacky interview, video or porn etc. I'm sure friends and family were begging her to get help for years. Very sad, but not surprising at all.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 21, 2016 Such a shame. It gets lost in the 15 years of D-list reality shows she's done, but God she was a big star during their biggest ever period. When she turned up, she was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. We've sort have been trained to forget about her, because of the re-writting of history and her porn career and all the scandal, but at her height she was one of their biggest stars. My favourite ever moment of hers was when helped HHH win the IC belt at SummerSlam 98. The roof went off. Â Poor girl must have had a horrible life if you think about it. She didnt have the best of times before she got into the wrestling business, and that chewed her up and spat her out eventually. I always think that she was the most unlucky person ever to have her contract coming due. If this all went down a year before, WCW were daft enough to give her the money she wanted. She had no leverage in 2001. She was sort of the first victim of the wrestling monopoly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Christ, she would have been World Champion within 2 months of being in WCW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted April 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 21, 2016 That she would have never lived to see all these ex-colleagues & current talent say so many nice things about her in public, is quite troubling. Really sad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she'd kept herself in shape, kept her name out there and kept her nose clean (Ahem), she'd have been back long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 21, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 21, 2016 They were never bringing Chyna back, ever. And its much earlier to say you're going to keep your nose clean than actually do it. She was obviously a mentally ill woman who was bullied and fucked with because of her looks.

TildeGuy~! Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Still no tweet from Hunter yet I see. Â Just noticed that someone included a tweet from that "Brock Lesnar Guy" He's tweeted now saying: Â @TripleH: Someone who wasn't afraid to blaze her own trail and create a path for those who would follow. A pioneer whose star shines bright #RIPChyna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
