Chyna was a force to be reckoned with during her time in WWE in the late ’90s. In fact, Chyna believed she was worth $1 million, but Vince McMahon decided to let Chyna go after she demanded that much money. She ventured into adult entertainment after her pro wrestling departure and it appears that Thunder Rosa believes Chyna was done dirty for her choice in career after pro wrestling.
As fans are well aware by now, Chyna left WWE after a financial disagreement. Right before she parted ways with WWE, Chyna had told Jim Ross she wanted a $1 million per year deal. However, McMahon rejected her demands and she was eventually let go.
After her departure from pro wrestling, Chyna began a career in the adult entertainment industry. However, she got a lot of backlash for her career as an adult entertainer back in the day.
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Thunder Rosa talked about Chyna receiving backlash for her career in adult entertainment. Rosa believes Chyna was done dirty because many women make money off of OnlyFans now – something that wasn’t acceptable during Chyna’s time.
“She decided to go on another route after pro wrestling. She was chastized for that. And now, a lot of people are utilizing platforms such as OnlyFans. Now, it is not widely accepted, but a lot more accepted than before.
Some of her features were not feminine per se,” Rosa stressed. “Sometimes, bodybuilders take certain things that make their faces, voice, and even body completely change. She had to adapt to that — in order to become the superstar that she became. For a lot of women, she’s like the epitome of what a badass b—h is, and who you want to become — because she was strong, beautiful, and beating up both guys’ assess and women’s too.
It’s sad because I think they did her dirty — big time. Her demise was very, very sad.”
Chyna will forever be remembered as a trailblazer for women’s wrestling in WWE and her contributions will never be forgotten, long after her untimely passing in 2016. She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of DX a few years ago, but fans hope she will get her own separate induction in the future. We’ll have to see if that will ever happen.
