The Ninth Wonder of the World Chyna made an instant splash when she first appeared on WWE television as the manager/valet of Triple H, and she didn't have to utter a word. Her powerful physique spoke for itself. Triple H once stated that Chyna could bench press more than he could at her peak.

Chyna was very over with the WWE universe, and gained a lot of mainstream attention for appearing in Playboy magazine. However, one major achievement of hers often gets downplayed, and that is the night she captured the Intercontinental championship from none other than WWE Hall of Famer--and former WCW world champion--Jeff Jarrett.

Part of the reason why her title win is rarely mentioned has to do with Jarrett holding the IC belt hostage and demanding 100,000 dollars as a bonus for dropping it when he was technically no longer under contract to the WWE.

Some think having him lose the belt to a woman was a punishment for demanding the cash, but when the woman you lose to is the ninth wonder of the world it hardly damages your reputation.

Chyna regularly competed with men like Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho and Val Venis for mid-card titles. She was hardly seen as a Diva back in the day.
