We could all live to see a dozen lifetimes, but we would never see another female wrestler with the insane presence that Chyna brought to the ring. Chyna made a career out of destroying everyone she faced, male or female. She resembled a professional bodybuilder but had the demeanour of an angry pit bull.
Most of us can still remember the night Chyna emerged from her seat in the audience and immediately took out Marlena. From that point, Chyna would begin serving as the muscle for Degeneration-X, which was a role that fit her perfectly.

Chyna would obviously go on to have a very successful WWE career. She would not only win the Women’s Championship, but also the Intercontinental Championship, not once, but twice.
Chyna would also face her share of personal issues outside the ring, which included excessive drug abuse, as well as alcoholism. Chyna was found dead at her home in California, in April of 2016.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
