She always looked like she needed a hug. 😢
Right as strong and buff she was she needed legit love
@@WhoIzHeeshe was done so dirty. Not even in a wrestling business sense, just a human sense. What she went through before the spiral was humiliating.
And a desperate dose of estrogen. She was messed up by steroids.
Every time I see a photo of her I get sad because she should still be alive today
Tell that to terry runnels lmfao
She said it the best "There never will be another Chyna"
Jade Cargill, yes she's amazing!
jade cargel and Raquel Rodriguez are damn close though. Sad she died, because that would of been one hell of a triple threat match.
when another woman is wrestling men and holding their own in the ring, I'll say there is another Chyna. But until then. SHE IS THE 9TH WONDER OF THE WORLD. A true 1/1. Imagine her now???? She'd dominate all of them.
@IStevenSeagal mate if you ever saw China wrestle she was a beast she'd beat the entire male roster today bar a few she'd decimate the females today
@IStevenSeagalracist
R.I.P Chyna Baddest female wrestler of all time , Those DX days for every 90s kid will forever be legendary
Facts 👌🏾💯
Love this, X suck it
E titled to your opinion.
Bro, no way
I totally saw her first
@SHUT-UP_MEG she was possibly arguably the biggest female grappler as far as attraction in the states during that time period. What she lacked in in ring ability she made up for in other departments.
She needs to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. Legend
she is in the Hall of Fame with DX
@@TrayJPlayz She deserves to be in there by herself.
@@Generalbas1972It's really hard to do that, aside due to her stint in porn...plus with her history with HHH, within the mcmahon family is not something easy to talk about
@@s4xttliteral murderers, racists and pedophiles are in the HOF as much as they want to dismiss it. And porn? That excuse goes out the window when you remember why Hulk Hogan sued Gawker. Or Lita. Or use ⬛️🟧 and search a name.
They also won’t keep New Day or Paige/Saraya Knight out of the HOF either.
@@s4xtt True but she still deserves to be in HOF by herself
For anyone wondering, Both Inoki-san and Ken Yasuda (the trainer speaking about New Japan in this video) passed away within the last 2 years from illnesses
May they rest in peace 🙏
it was just a little covid
No, they were thrice vaccinated and quadruple boosted. Ya know…that illness.
I was not wondering.
He's known by some in the indie wrestling as Schwarzenegger of Japan due to his physique and in fact trained Zoey Stark and her bf who is much older than her
Chyna was so hurt n sad in the end.. she was pretty much asking for help..she will always be my favorite female wrestler..rip..💙💙
She got what she wanted, you shouldn't feel sorry for these rtrds...
She was destroyed mentally and emotionally. A woman can only handle so much.
@Alfred-Neuman Wow, you're a real tough guy. I get it. Your thing is being cruel to show people how disciplined and superior you are. More like think you are. Posts like yours from people like you are a dime a dozen. Not impressive or entertaining. They're very predictable and add nothing of substance. All you're saying "sHe mAdE hEr oWn cHoiCeS, sHe tOo bAd, bAd cHoiCeS". You don't even realize how transparent your posts are. I read an insecure person who has finally got his chance to feel superior. That's temperature IQ projection. You gotta ask yourself honestly, "why am I saying this? What am I getting out of this reply?" Stupid people don't question the meaning of their actions and the things they say. If the clown shoes fit.
@@Alfred-Neuman soulless n.c.e.l.
@@Alfred-Neumanyou wouldn’t because you have no empathy. Don’t worry, soon enough that’s going to bite you
I always loved the "I'd rather be in Chyna" signs back in the day. The Attitude Era was pure class.😂
One night in Chyna was pure class
A best seller for sure
@@Paul-sl9zm I bow to your superior experience in seeing that!
@@thesmithersy queen of the ring was better
@@SubZero_125 would have sold millions before easy video theft became a thing.
Rest In Paradise beautiful Chyna. You are dearly missed.
😂no hell time I swear

To me, she will be the first true female superstar wrestler. There will never be another one.
To date she is the only one that has held a men's singles title.
Wendi Richter was closest. Back in the 80s, her, Piper and Cyndi Lauper got wrestling to another level. Hogan gets all the credit, but Wendi was on her way up. But women weren't gonna eclipse Hogan or anything else with the men.
@@Lunacyk What?
Jade Cargill is following her footsteps
Seems like Vince McMahon has ruined more lives than he’s enriched…
I'm so glad she's getting recognized for her time in Japan here.
Her last days on her TH-cam channel had me broken. She was so lost and broken. She made her shake and just loved the house she was in. You could see her sadness of loneliness though :/
she was a very delicate soul in a cruel world. I can never forgive trips for having betrayed her AND gotten her fired.
Lots of people are depressed her story is no different
@@grant1739 sometimes life is too hard. It’s easy to lose perspective. I think she had a little too much on her plate and it really broke her down inside. It’s important to remember that we don’t know about everything a person is going through. I think HHH was her everything. Being humiliated like that in front of the whole world was too much for her.
@@grant1739yeah and I bet you meet them all with this same amazing level of empathy huh?
Sean was to Chyna, what Bobby was to Whitney...
Wrong Whitney did the drugs before she even met Bobby
That's is true.@@LilHondaCivic808
The two of them was already on that.
She was abusing drugs before hooking up with Sean
dude people get that so wrong its not even funny. whitney did drugs before bobby and did more than bobby. if anything whitney was worse for bobby than the other way around.
The word "heartbreaking" is so overused...but Chyna's story truly warrants the use of the word in every sense. The world took her in, sucked everything out of her and then spit her out only to be forgotten!
Your existence is overused heartbreaking can be used wherever any time. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it get off this post.
Vince destroyed Chyna’s career because his daughter had fallen in love with Triple H
Yup, she deserved better
Because triple nose shouldn't be blamed
No, she destroyed herself.
She destroyed her career turning down a contract because she wanted stone cold money
One night in Chyna!!! 😎 if you know , you know lol
Breaks my heart... as a kid i had no idea.. as an adult i feel such sorrow
Even in her Playboy photos, her eyes looked so lonely and sad.
She was one of the women who inspired me to get into wrestling. She deserved so much better. I wish someone woulda looked out for her
Who treated her poorly?
Damn, Rampage wasn't lying about Inoki's chin! That thing is huge!!!
Yet Muhammad Ali couldn't lay a hand on it when they fought!
@@thesmithersyglass jaw
@@OikPoinFive I'd say Ali has glass shins. Inoki smashed them so hard, Ali never got another KO again after they fought
And every single one of them would lay you out, quit acting like a sports commentator when you’re nothing
Damn, I never knew about her time in Japan. That looks like an incredible match
It's considered one of her best I believe, you should check it out it's not hard to find
@@regularjohn6582 It's fake so why bother?
@@osteopathichomeopathicking6154 huh? Is that a serious comment?
@@osteopathichomeopathicking6154you do realize that absolutely nobody listens to those types of lying troll comments right?
It's 100% real in every single way shape and form just like every single movie that you watch and television show that you watch. Buy your own logic you should not watch a sitcom, a movie, or any other thing put to film because there are stuntmen, or it tells a story, or there are special effects.
You watch it anyway though. What does that say about your hypocrisy and lack of overall intelligence? Zero accountability.
@@osteopathichomeopathicking6154 did any of this look fake to you?
She was so iconic for what the attitude era was
Thank you Vice for continuing to put out these videos. The world needs to remember how special Chyna was. Her name not being forgotten definitely helps that cause.
There's been some trailblazers when it comes to women in the wrestling for sure but Chyna, a true trailblazer that broke that glass ceiling and made the most impact.
RIP Chyna❤
0:14 The way she says "Both" and that small smile and the "They'll never be another Chyna" with sadness at the end
It makes me sad it really does of what they did to her, all they had to do was pick up the phone and try to help that's all she wanted was to make amends
Poor Joanie, I blame Vince for her downfall. That company screwed her over, literally and figuratively.
You mean Stephanie!
All of them fucked her over..from Steph to Vince..
You can blame Vince or whoever else for professionally mistreating her, but not her "downfall". She had chances to bounce back into a decent career for herself, but squandered it because of poor personal choices. We all have our personal demons, but what we do with them is our own responsibility.
Triple H is equally to be blamed
She is also majority responsible for her own downfall everything is not because of vince calm down she was not a great in ring worker
I miss this woman so much. She would have THRIVED in today's wrestling scene.
Could she take Rhonda rousey?
@@benshaw7660 in her prime? Absolutely!
Chyna and Beth Pheonix at the same time would be a sight to behold.
@@RealHomeRecording You realize wrestling is fake right? A quadriplegic dwarf could win against Rhonda Rousey if it was in the script.
She's the most muscular woman ive seen, and i dont discriminate. I love her
She was special.. just the right balance between being a beast and a beauty at the same time.. she caught the eye and made an impression. She was special.
A beauty? 😄 Hell naw
@@grant1739 beauty has many forms..
She would have had so much respect today. Seeing how many are admiring her year's later. I wish she lived longer and saw the great comments about her. She was brave asf.
That’s usually happens after they pass. We take things for granted while within arms reach so to speak
👩🏻💐 She's right NEVER will there be another one . She was truelly an original 🏋
You got that right for shizzle
Beth Phoenix was fairly close to Chyna but yeah you're right
She was a shining example of what you can accomplish when the person you're fucking has the boss' ear.
@@BeyondDaXI would say rhea ripley is close to Chyna in my opinion
@@BeyondDaXnowhere near close and it was so blatant that’s what they were trying to do with Beth so it felt especially cheap
I’ve always been a fan of hers
You and me both!
@@RobertGray-wf6py you must be a closet transexual! It's okay to come out!
@@RobertGray-wf6py um what?
@@JarrettDuque that’s a dude
All of us were. She was my female wrestler as a kid, always thought she was bad af.
Vince is such a piece of garbage.That man did not care about the people he employed, just the money he could make of of them.
That man personally paid people’s bills beyond their contracts. He put people on legends contracts just so they could be paid as they aged. By several accounts, he’s told wrestlers to go home when they were too hurt to work, when they WANTED to work, and he paid them while they were gone. He’s put a slew of talent through rehab and hired them back after. Is he perfect? Hell no. He runs a billion dollar company and you don’t make a billion dollars by playing nice with everyone. But I’ve read quite a few wrestlers’ bios and listened to a whole lotta interviews, and the consensus is that he’s not as mean as his character seems.
@@thatboybearBut wouldnt let her keep the name, petty, greedy bullshit. Not to mention all his fuct up sexual deviant abuse allegations....
Vince is even worse then the real Vince as the real Vince atleast was able to build something and manage it...
@@thatboybear see this is the problem most people have a all or nothing on anything. vince in the start was good but as time went on he got bad, not just a little. the vince in the start was different than vince in the middle and the end but people will never see that. they see one vince and thats it.
@@zerodawn09I don’t think they’re separate Vince’s. Vince in the start ran promotions out of business. Vince in the start had guys swapping steroid needles. Vince in the start had a slew of female “assistants.” I think the real problem is that we assume people are only what we SEE at that moment, and not the complex, nuanced, multifaceted and messy people we really are. You can be great and horrible simultaneously, depending on what you’re doing and who’s watching you do it.
I love Chyna. My fondest memories of her is speaking to her multiple times on Twitter, Facebook and TH-cam and being mentioned in one of her TH-cam videos. I love her as a entertainer. I wish she would've conquered her demons. Also I wish wwe would put her in the title card of then or forever.
She talked to me on Twitter a lot, especially before she passed away.
What a great woman. She seemed to truly appreciate her fans and was kind to them. RIP.
She had a tragic ending , and she never got over hunter. Smh she deserved better.
Yup. She could never get over Triple H.
He destroyed her
Triple H was a snake, only only managed to get by with destroying the careers of others or waiting until the real talent that people cared about were on their way out or on other brands.
@@maxrocketansky oh bullshit. She has nobody to blame but herself.
Hunter didn't force her to abuse drugs. Hunter didn't force her into creating pornography for a living. She made the choice to throw away her career for drugs and ez money.
She could of had success outside of WWE had she gone a different route. Just look at all the wrestlers over the years that we're either fired or quit WWE that went on to find success outside of the company.
@@noshowjoe6596 I got through the first two sentences of your reply and stopped reading. I opt out of ignorant fools who want to blame the victim. Grow up.
The respect she got from New Japan and the wrestler she wrestled was great! She deserved it... The respect from her opponent was very heartwarming and respectful
I wish she would’ve stayed longer. She was so well respected over there
Poor Joanie, she seemed like such a sweet-heart. My heart continues to break for her
The sad part is that she was rubbing other talent the wrong way. She wanted to be considered one of the boys and really didn't want to work with the rest of the females. The stephanie Hunter thing was just the right excuse to get rid of her. Even jerecho said she was so stiff that it was really pissing off the talent
Weak. That's why she did so well in Japan. Strong style is stiff. A lot of WWE women had trouble with Asuka at first cause she's stiff with her strikes.
She wanted stone cold money she got rid of herself 3 things to consider
Her truth
Their truth
The truth
She didn't want to work women because they wasn't doing much with them. Like why wrestle or feud with a Sable or Luna when they aren't doing much with them? And why would Chyna let herself get overshadowed by Sable who was more than Luna? Like who can blame Chyna for staying away from the female roster?
I mean her reasons for not wanting to work with the other female wrestlers were valid. With her physique and stature who would believe someone like Sable beating her in a match lol.
@@KrisBryant99right
I Love the Fact she said that: *There will Never be another Chyna* ❤❤❤❤ RIPChyna
Is it me or does Chono still look like one of the coolest guy's around?
Barely made it through the first interview, got me right in the feels this one. 😪
Thanks a lot from New Zealand! 🇳🇿
I remember meeting her at her apartment in Santa Monica on New Year’s Day 2011 for an after party. I didn’t stay very long, there were too many things going on there. RIP
What was going on there?
@@xclusiv602 Too many things, can't you read?
@@xclusiv602 Drugs and perverted sex
@INDRIDCOLD83 Excuse him, but his reply was obviously asking for more details than just "too many things". He only wanted examples and details. Do you have a reading comprehension problem or just can't grasp the obvious intention of his question? Too many things can apply to a lot of different things. We can have an idea, but sometimes people want exact details. If he's not comfortable in sharing it, then he can say so. Do you speak for him? Your sass is highly unnecessary.
@ARedMotorcycle Come on man you can put two and two together. Lots of drugs were being done among other things I'm sure.
As a sister to sisters, one of whom is now deceased, I can't imagine what Cathy went through losing Joanie in that devastating way, even if they weren't close.
I see a lot of comments about Vince and that’s deserved, but man X-pac really fucked her up with NJPW. She could’ve caught a second wind there and built on her momentum
Agreed, I don’t remember X-pac getting too much heat for that either
I LOVE VICE TV!! this os so beautifully produced
Chyna was someone who'd show her toughness in the ring but she was perhaps the most vulnerable person. She'd be affected by bad comments about her. She wanted to be loved and cared of. She changed for Triple H and had a huge ego just to match his. But after that, she lost control of her destiny and met horrible people along the way. I would chat and videocall her from 2011 to 2016 and that was the best time of my life. She truly loved her friends and fans with all her heart. She just wanted to come back to her WWE family and get inducted into the Hall of Fame. When she was denied, it broke her. She really died of a broken heart. She deserved better.
Bad things happen to everyone. It's called life little buddy.
@@shadycnetworkObviously. That doesn’t refute what they said
@@strnglhld do you want to blame everyone for what happened to China except for china. Everybody wants to be loved and cared for. Sometimes relationships don't work out. You keep saying she wanted this she wanted that. We all want things. Sometimes it doesn't happen.
@@shadycnetwork I didn’t say anything. I didn’t post the comment you replied to… I’m just pointing out that what you said, doesn’t go against the original guy’s comment. Both can be right
@@shadycnetworkhmu whenever something bad happens to you so I can be like “bad things happen to everyone. It’s called life little buddy”
She was on another level in women wrestling .
i wish her new japan run lasted longer than it did. i feel like she could’ve done some of the best work of her life.
Is this a new documentary? I remember vice had One on her, about 7-8 months ago
She was huge in wwe , treated so badly in the end …. Just needed support
Damn. This is so sad and heartbreaking.
The interview with Chono was cool.
I know unrelated but wow, her sister is hot! 0:59!
Icon. RIP
That song she sang on the Howard Stern show was absolutely stunning and brave 😢
i hope shes finally at peace 🥺
Sad what they did to her. Unfortunately, Joanie is part of a long list of wrestling talents who were abused, used up and thrown away.
Ive been appreciating her more and more over the years
This is me after 7 beers. Except no interviewer. Life's sad sometimes 😅
3:19
this is such a great photo of these two but especially chyna
Perv
Yea good looking
Holy sh*t , can you imagine if Chyna was in WWE today in her prime?? Rhea Ripley vs Chyna or Chyna in the Judgement Day?? OMG!! It would literally write itself. Throw in some Charlotte Flair & The Man Becky Lynch , you gotta one hell of a 4 way Title match PPV. R.I.P Chyna
She couldn’t wrestle in her prime😂😂.
That’s why I love Rhea, her and Dom doing the Chyna Eddie thing is a nice throwback
Her death was one of the 3 celebraty deathes that hit me very hard. Other two was jason david frank and mathew perry
There a full episode of this?
It’s so sad how WWE treated Chyna. I’ve been a fan of hers since she 1st I saw her on tv.
You can see the pain in her look. RIP Chyna.
Is this an episode
What episode was this?
I don’t know how to feel about Vince Russo being a primary interview source. Both him and Bischoff just seem to live in a world where self awareness and delusion battle daily, and the latter usually wins.
It’s also crazy how Chyna and Pac hooked up and they frame it like “It was out of nowhere!” as if they hadn’t been in a stable together for years and she was literally his homie’s gf for even longer than that. Ijs, y’all had history, professionally and personally that lended to the eventuality.
yea i dont like vince russo but the few things he said here are good. i do bet tho that he probably has 2 more hours of bs on tape they didnt use.
@@zerodawn09”Yeah, bro, because you see, bro, I was the one that named her Chyna. I said ‘Everybody loves Chinese food and that Wall or something, so if you give her that gimmick, it’ll go over like gangbusters.’ I even planned an orange chicken on a pole match.”
@@zerodawn09he did one of joanie's last interviews on his podcast. Pretty sad episode but he gets credit for that. Remember joanie said in the beginning of the video once wwe let her go in 01 they all turned their back on her. Notice it wasnt until she died they started praising her again.
Russo was heartbroken when Chyna passed away.
Lol. These two guys revolutionized wrestling in the mid 90s. Like it or not, without Bischoff and Russo, we don't get arguably the biggest wrestling period in history. Idgaf what happened after, those two guys are major, major names in the history of pro wrestling whether we like them or not. There's a reason ppl like Stone Cold and The Rock have a tremendous amount of respect for Russo even to this day.
I recall watching a RAW episode where HHH was cutting a promo and Chyna seemed to be distracted with a fan, I recall I think she pointed at two guys who had two different signs that said VA- CHYNA. The nostalgia in me giggles at that because we all had a crush on her one way or another.
fans who sexually harass women workers were losers then and they are losers now
I remember meeting her and Triple H at the mall in the 90's. They were really nice and greet every single fan with love
She was actually my neighbor for like a year in an apartment in downtown Burbank back in like 2006. She was very nice and had like fancy looking furniture in an otherwise relatively affordable apartment.
She was truly a legend 👍🙏.
RIP gone but not forgotten
Where is the whole documentary?
I remember when she was “Cloudy” 😂 in opposition to “sunny” and the body Donna’s
“There is not another Chyna. And there never will be”
I miss her Mann. RIP Joanie
The last clip at the end😢
Seen that last part of her in that video 😞
It was Hunter and Stephanie who got her fired
Right!
Yeah, after she messed up their thr33some 😢
@@JoviKool grow up 🤡
Look what happened to her daddy now 😂😂😂😂😂 no more WWE for the McMahons.
@@lilakscy that makes no since.
Yeah ❤
Heart Breaking?!? It was AWESOME 🤘
I liked her cameo In 3rd rock from the sun that sitcom she should have done more acting like that r.i.p to her ❤
RIP.
Alice n chains nutshell would have been the soundtrack to this one.
Vince has always been a piece of crap. RIP Honey!
Well at least Vince is getting some sort of punishment even if its just him not working anymore which will just make him slowly go crazy
He had nothing to do with her addiction.
It hunter and Steph who got her fired to hide they cheating
Triple H and steph also
Paul is worse. He had to know she was spiraling, yet he had no problem writing her off as a lost cause because he’d sold his soul to the McMahon narrative.
is this a preview of season 6 dark side of the ring?
Kevin Nash aka Diesel! Haha
R.i.p
I miss her every day 😢rest in Paradise Chyna 💕🕊✨️
This Happend to alot of wrestler wwe can make you big and other minute let you fall its always about the money and im really sad about how it ends for all this great wrestler life is short but also not fair RIP chyna was a great person and great member from the DX
i dont recall this episode
She was so phenomenal in "Cougar Club"
7:32 look at that stare of brain rot 😔 jheeze rip 🕊
Is this a part of a full documentary?
This is heartbreaking I loved Chyna she was a powerhouse and a great talent . She went through hell and continued to fight .
We miss you, China😊
She deserved alot better!
I agree👍🏿💯
She got paid and traveled the world…what else did she deserve? Is it WWE’s fault she couldn’t figure out life after wrestling?
I was at Disney for a class trip and I stoped what I was doing that day
This is so heartbreaking where not one of her WWE "friends" would check up on her or just hang out with her afterwards
Guess who has nothing to do with her post WWE spiral? Triple H. The people blaming him for what decisions an adult made 15 years later are beyond pathetic.
RIP to a nice woman.
Apparently she wanted Austin/Rock money. Obviously not going to happen. She was doing well for a while story-wise but I think outside of being an attraction she was limited.
@@FreedomDiaries1do you honestly feel that? She was the most popular female in the roster. Everyone and their grandma knew who Chyna was!
@@jtarantula3390to be fair, she was super popular in wrestling, but she wasn't a household name like the Rock or Austin. Plus at that time, the roster of women was deep as a puddle. Most of her matches were against men
Well people blame triple h solely because he left her for bosses daughter. And when that relationship ended her time was running out. Of course bosses daughter would not want ex in the wwe. So leaving her for McMahon spelt doom. That’s the pov anyway
You don’t mess with someone’s feelings. Heartbreak can kill somebody, especially being betrayed by your bosses daughter.
She was right about one thing…there will never be another Chyna. Her run with DX was legendary. RIP you lovely, sad, gargantuan woman.
She was one my favourite female WWE superstars.😍😘🥰❤️💋🔥💪👍👍. R.I.P beautiful.😢🕊
Man...... what a legend! RIP 🙏 may GOD rest her soul.
