    Wow...I wasn't a fan of Wrestling after the 80's so I never saw her wrestle. I do know of all the problems she had with drugs and depression. Hoping it wasn't a suicide...but knowing her past it probably was suicide or a drug overdose. RIP.

        Man bummer. Was never a big fan of hers or the era of WWF she "wrestled" in but still sad.

          Liked her in the 80's as Hunter's valet but was absolutely never attracted to her in the least.

          To me she was just a guy with huge fake boobs

            I think you mean the 90s But just barely, as she was most prominent in the early 2000's

                RIP Chyna. Say what you want she had the IT factor with her look at that time.

                Sad couple of weeks for wrestling fans. With the passing of Balls Mahoney last week and Blackjack Mulligan the week before.

                  What a year. Remember her more so for being a regular guest on Stern during the Pittsburgh commute in the 90's. RIP

                        I was never a fan in any way. But the humane factor is really such a sad story. To go from so high to so low. She was such a sad soul in her final years. I hope she can find peace in her death.

                          It's sad because she did the rounds her last year and it looked like she was fine and going in a good direction. It's sad when someone can't over come their demons.
