Chyna to be inducted in hall of fame with Degeneration X

[the game]

This is great to hear. She should've been inducted long ago. D-Generation x will be inducted into the hall of fame this year along with Chyna. She was breaking glass ceilings long before it was cool.

It’s been a long time coming, but Chyna will finally get her place in WWE history.
Every year, rumors go crazy about who will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. And everyone has their opinions and ideas on who should be included among the legends. This year, one name will be crossed off the list: The Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna. She’ll be part of a group induction, as the legendary D-Generation X will mark their spot in this year’s WWE Hall of Fame.

It will happen during WrestleMania weekend, and it’s an incredible notion being that the group as an entire unit will be inducted. It is huge for a couple of reasons. For one, Shawn Michaels will be a two-time inductee, as he was previously put in as a singles entry back in 2011. Now he will be recognized for being the co-founder to perhaps the second biggest faction aside from the New World Order to overtake professional wrestling.

But the biggest spotlight on DX getting the nod is the inclusion of the late Joanie Laurer, better known as Chyna. Triple H spoke with ESPN about the decision to put her into the Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately, Chyna passed away in 2016, and there have been questions as to if and when she would ever be inducted. Those questions will finally get answered in April. She was a revolutionary member of WWE. She was tougher than most members of the male roster, was the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble and helped pave the way for a lot of women we watch today.

Also on the DX induction menu will be the New Age Outlaws, “Road Dogg” Jesse James and Billy Gunn. They were a controversial tag team put together after their singles careers were lost in the shuffle. It turned out to be life-changing, as they were part of one of the most entertaining eras in wrestling history. They will join X-Pac, who was a longtime friend of Shawn Michaels and Triple H, as part of “The Kliq” with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.

Each member of DX left their own mark on history, and combined became the most controversial group perhaps of all-time. From their often-crude humor, to their legendary battles with the likes of The Rock, The Undertaker and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, they forced everyone to take notice of who they were and what their agenda was.

I agree, Blac Chyna is a degenerate.

[Doctor Amadeus]

It’s a slap in the face and meaningless gesture at this point.

It’s a slap in the face and meaningless gesture at this point.

Imagine if the induction happened right after she passed away, the fallout would’ve been immense!

[Miyagie]

Oh man, i thought it was a typo and this is about China and mutatet STEM babys....

[Weeps]

I still don't understand how grown adults can enjoy this type of wrestling.

I liked it in middle school and when I got into high school, I stopped watching it.

It requires the most base of intelligence to enjoy this crap.

Watching steroid-fueled males in speedos... if that's your thang, that's all good... it's weird but... ok.

Same people that laugh at their wives for watching Real Housewives of ______... you're literally watching the same thing, lol.

Overly emotional males fake fighting over the slightest offenses, what a soap opera!

I wish I didn't google who Chyna was, cause the pictures were disturbing.

Anyway, I found this gem about her death:

"Chyna's manager said Wednesday he believes the pioneer wrestling star died of an accidental overdose of Ambien and Valium.

"She accidentally and unintentionally misused her legally prescribed medication over the course of 2-3 weeks. It's an epidemic," manager Anthony Anzaldo said in an email."

That's a lie, I can 100% guarantee you that. The prescribed doses are always small and their danger almost irrelevant. To actually OD on this, you'd need to eat them like candy. Considering the memory loss from Valium, one small chance would be that she simply forgot how many she took and took more, more and then some more. Still, memory loss should not occur at prescribed dosage.

I don't get why it's so hard to say "she took too many and ODed", why do you have to lie, as if somebody dead cares if they are called a junkie.

it 's almost as if that statement was made by a manager

oh wait

no shit it was phrased that way .. nobody is trying to argue how or why she died. certainly a manager isn 't going to outright say "my client is a junkie and died like junkies do"

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Also can we take a quick time out and talk about how cool of a word 'junkie' is. I love that word so much and Idk why. I love hearing it, I love saying it. Am I alone here? Is this weird? Do I need to sleep?

[SinR]

she's not being inducted as Chyna though, but as a part of DX.

Am I understanding this correctly?

[Doctor Amadeus]

Imagine if the induction happened right after she passed away, the fallout would’ve been immense!

Maybe, but do you do the right thing because it's the right thing, or do you do it because it's popular. If this was a business decision then it was a business decision, but for me they don't get to have their cake and eat it too.

I can respect their decision even if I disagreed, the problem here is the obvious double standard people have pointed out and then ignoring that for what I would have assumed was business.

Yeah, I agree.

/sigh

Yeah this isn't about Chyna getting what she deserved, this is another business decision.

Because the WWE hall of fame has been ever anything other than meaningless?

Also how come every time I open a The Game thread I feel like I am back in 2001?

Hahaha could be the screen name, and you are right you are making another strong point about the WWE hall of fame being meaningless, however in this instance it meant something to a woman now dead, so she isn't going to appreciate it. As for her actual friends and family, this doesn't really in my mind do anything but use them.

Bottom line this is a self serving decision a long time overdue, that is about the company, trying to get credit for doing the right thing, by giving Chyna a recognition sideways because she happened to be part of another wrestling gimmick.
Just meaningless all around

Lol, jesus, why do you care so much what other people enjoy watching? Do you have your head up your ass so much this bothers you? I'm sure you only watch "High IQ" stuff, like Rick and Morty amirite?

[Weeps]

Actually no. I’m not wrong either

[avitush]

I'm ok with this.

Wasn't "she did a sex tape/porn stuff that one time" the only thing keeping her out otherwise?

[Odinfrost]

Good for her and her legacy I guess. Don't know how useful it is for any related to her, that she gets inducted.

Oh man, i thought it was a typo and this is about China and mutatet STEM babys....

I thought it was some kind of weird statement by Trump about that country, and the title was spelled that way because Trump pronounces China like that.
