Very Sad. We lose another one that meant a lot of the business especially as a woman. R.I.P. Chyna

This really is the year everyone dies.

[PorkChop]

Apparently she was dead for some time before she was found. Very sad.

[Everlong]

Yikes. I wonder what happened?

Life has been rough on her for the last 10 or 15 years. But I never saw this coming.

You would assume drugs. Possibly suicide unfortunately.

Do the right thing Steph and Hunter, put her in the HOF.

So many deaths this year. RIP Chyna.

RIP Chyna. Really sad news.

She should go in the Hall of Fame for sure. No doubt about it. Her career wasn't very long, and she wasn't very good ... but she was a massive star. There was a point when she was one of the biggest stars in the industry, at a time when that was unfathomable for a female wrestler. She was really well known by the general public, well liked by the fans, and was one of the first performers to really put women's wrestling on the map. And for all that she lost over the last 20 years, nobody can take that away from her.

Some people will think this is blasphemy (largely due to WWE's revisionist history) but I'd argue she ultimately did more for women's wrestling than Moolah, who is always praised as a legend now. Moolah wasn't the great performer people act like she was either, and she didn't have nearly the same kind of public persona or impact on pop culture that Chyna did.

Not putting Chyna in the Hall of Fame would be like not putting Ultimate Warrior in the Hall of Fame. Sure, maybe the dude didn't wrestle for that long. Maybe he was crazy as a sack of rabbits. Maybe he sucked in the ring. But he was also the Ultimate fucking Warrior. A WWE Hall of Fame without him in it would be ridiculous. Same goes for Chyna.

I think as sad as it is, her chances of going in the Hall of Fame now are much better than they were when she was alive. Now they can get someone like Road Dogg or Lita to induct on her behalf and they don't have to worry about what she might say with a live mic.

[Twister]

Really sad news. I loved her during the attitude era, to see a fellow female buck the trend and be strong enough to compete with the guys was awesome as a child. Yes to her being inducted into the HOF, she may have made some bad choices in recent years but no one can take away the fact that she was a pioneer for women's wrestling. I really hope WWE do the right thing.
