R.I.P. Chyna

This news is a couple days old, but I'm compelled to mention that Chyna passed away on April 20 at the age of 46. If you grew up watching the Attitude Era like me, then this loss hits hard like many other wrestling legends.

It's a shame that she couldn't go into the WWE Hall of Fame while alive. Hopefully WWE does the right thing and honors the 9th Wonder of the World with a posthumous award.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

A true shame, but many wrestling fans seen this coming sadly. The WWE blacklisted her, but now things are different. She'll be inducted the next few years, getting her due praise, Too bad it took her death to get it.

She was a big part of the boom in wrestling/attitude era. DX original member. I was sad to hear this. RIP

saddest part is that since it happened the same day as Prince most people aren't even going to be aware she passed.

Guy HAmilton passed away as well

She was an amazing wrestler, but yes, it is very sad that many people were not surprised by this news :'(

Very sad, especially how things had ended in her professional wrestling career. Rest In Peace to the 9th wonder of the world. I was really into wrestling both WWF and WCW during this era. I am more upset by this news than about Prince as I never really followed his music.

Definitely a sad story. I don't know the whole story but it seems like the WWE used her up and kicked her to the curb. Probably didn't help that her boyfriend started dating the bosses daughter.

I'm not much of a wrestling fan, but knew about Chyna and thought she was pretty impressive. I always found the way her life had turned out in recent years to be pretty sad though, I hope she finally finds the peace she didn't find in life.

Mamacita and Latino Heat are reunited in the wrestling afterlife. RIP Chyna.

Laurer was a key figure during the Attitude era. Sad how WWE treated her at the end. Like Monster said a lot of it happened with Trips "moving up" behind the scenes. I'll always remember her prime years tho and not the ugliness after.

In the small amount of time that I watched wrestling, she was one of my favorites. So sad.
