2019 WWE Hall of Fame: DeGeneration-X (including Chyna)
« on: February 19, 2019, 05:47:44 PM »
It appears WWE is inducting groups again. By putting DX in collectively, I guess that means Michaels is a "two-time" Hall of Famer like Ric Flair. The package also included the late 9th wonder of the world, Joanie "Chyna" Laurer.

Long overdue. There would be no attitude era without them.

Congratulated Joanie's sister this AM at the gym.
See her daily, lovely person. (Kathy).
She's very happy for Joanie, as we all are that knew her.

Congrats Joanie!

Is she going to be there to accept on Chyna's behalf?

She still should get her own HOF ring. She pretty much set a new standard for women in wrestling.

To a degree, she did. She and every other member of DX (except X-Pac) held the IC title.


But she ended up being a "diva" (which is a pejorative these days): Extensive cosmetic surgery, perpetually stripped down to her bra and panties (particularly as Eddie Guerrero's "mamacita") and ultimately getting naked for Playboy, joining Sable, Torrie Wilson, Candace Michelle, Christy Hemme, Ashley Navarro, Maria Kanellis.

Given all the baggage and history with her and Helmsley, I think inducting Chyna as part of DX was a compromise move.

I agree with you here...plus like I mentioned earlier, there is no way Stephanie would approve it.

So you disagree with the “diva” part? I stated that, in part, because of the 1997 Slammy Awards, where Triple H pulled her from the “Miss Slammy” contest. He said she was a “stone cold killer”, not designed to be part of the valley of the silicon queens. That was, of course, where Sable became the breakout girl and got pushed to the moon, ultimately resulting in the return of the WWF women’s championship.
 
Chyna later went the way of the knife (weren’t her new boobs introduced as members of DX?). She still kept her Terminator swag until 2000. But, if I’m not mistaken, she did Playboy shortly after Sable did (the second time) but before the “Mamacita” gimmick with Guerrero.

Do you think her sister or some other family member will accept on Chyna’s behalf?

I think that a posthumous induction is the only way they would induct Chyna.

I also expected a bit more time distance from her unfortunate passing, but perhaps being part of a group induction compensates for that. Had this taken place a few years later, we may have been more likely to see a solo induction.

Yes to both.

She underwent some feminizing cosmetic procedures starting in the late-90's, including breast augmentation, jaw restructuring, and additional plastic surgeries and injections.
After her "dismissal" from WWF/WWE, she did some video work for an adult film company - Vivid, I think - including some rather graphic gangb@ng features later on.
She also apparently got involved with various substance abuses. I've got a feeling that some of the mishaps were "stunts" performed in an attempt to remain relevant in the public eye, but that's pure conjecture on my part.

Does anyone know if she appeared (or tried to appear) in any other wrestling promotions after leaving the Fed?

I believe it was an overdose of mixed medications and alcohol.

Rick Rude died under similar circumstances some years earlier.

Both accounts are debatable.

My money is that Stephanie is the one that inducts them. I'd much prefer to see a bitter old Bret Hart do it though. Remember he's the one that originally called them a group of degenerates which led to the name DX.

She did very minor stints on TNA and New Japan before turning to reality TV and then porn.

My guess is it will be Vince himself who inducts them.

VKM will only induct The Undertaker. Plus I keep hearing interviews and reading that he is only on TV now because ratings are so low. Apparently he's not happy doing it because he knows how bad he looks these days. I'll push all my chips forward and bet Stephanie is the one that will induct them. XPac suggested Mike Tyson on a recent interview. Maybe Austin?
