Chyna had an amazing legacy in the ring. First Female IC Champion, Women's Champion, participated in the Royal Rumble, and made a real impact in the industry, man or female. It is just saddening of not just her passing, but the fact she had to deal with all these demons throughout her life. From politics backstage, to her going into the adult industry, to her constant struggles with drugs and alcohol, which could have took her life.
My sincerest condolences with her family and friends, and I hope we all can look at what she did in the ring, and see her struggles as something we all can learn about.

I'm honestly not too surprised about Chyna's death considering the things she's been doing to herself since she left the WWE(pornagraphy, drugs, etc.). I think it's funny how she's been somewhat given the Chris Benoit treatment by the WWE because of how Triple H and Stephanie McMahon had personal problems with her in the past. Now all of the sudden, they're starting to give her attention and recognition because of her death.
Even though Chyna was never really a great wrestler in a technical skill sense or selling moves more convincingly, she was still entertaining to watch when she was a part of the original DX stable. All I can say is, it's sad to hear another former WWE wrestler's death considering that many wrestling legends have been dropping like flies in the past couple of years and may Chyna rest in peace.

Man, she didn't really have much going for her in the past few years but that still sucks to hear. RIP Chyna

I understand these threads aren't usually the place for this but she really wasn't. She was a very limited worker who was over due to her size / build.
Also her passing isn't really a surprise given her history of abusing various drugs. It's an unfortunate way to go but I'm guessing not too much of a surprise to the people around her.
Let's be honest. Chyna was damaged goods coming into the WWE. Having lived a pretty rough life. It doesn't make her passing any less sad but this was the eventual result no matter what since she's been in a very bad way for years.
She should never have moved back from Japan. At least her life had purpose over there working as an English teacher.
A life of semi fame with no real anchor to regular society and daily cocktails of god knows what mixes of prescription and non-prescription drugs and this was the outcome. It's just the timing that is the shocker.

Sort of in shock. Expected this to happen at one point or another, but now that it has happened, it's pretty weird. R.I.P Chyna.
I was never a real fan of hers, but it always sucks when someone dies. Still, not too surprised given her history of drug abuse.
Hopefully the WWE will do a public acknowledgement. I know her doing porn isn't very PG, but this is a person's life, after all.

WWE treated her like shit honestly, and in my book she got bad rep for Trips choosing Steph (which I would have also done. All day, every day. Her x-pac tape still burns my eyes just talking about her)
WWE is going to do it for capital, and that's it. Ninth wonder of the world, back in DX (now that she's dead) and whatever they can twist to make it seemed like they were sympathetic in their treatment of Chyna. Never got into the "don't treat me like a woman" shit in the late 90s, it was just the WWE's lack of physical women who looked like they had a chance in hell against her.
Always a bummer to see people fall down that path, but it's life, and it sure isn't fair.
