My Pose Down With Chyna

About 12-13 years ago I had a chance to meet  "The 9th Wonder of The World" Chyna.

With the passing of former WWE star Chyna, I thought I'd tell couple of my favorite personal Chyna stories. She is a woman that battled some demons, and I'm sure the media will cover her passing with mostly negative laced stories so here are a couple fun ones.

I was visiting another WWE Superstar backstage at a show that I am friends with and Chyna strolled by. I instantly turned my attention to her, physically she was so incredible it's hard not to just stare.

My friend offered to introduce us, I extended a hand and she instantly hugged me. "I like big guys that take care of themselves, hi I'm Joanie". Now she was a little "different" the conversations were odd to say the least, but couldn't have been more friendly.

"So we should do shoulders sometime, I think we could really help each other in the gym". "Now hit me with a double bicep pose, I wanna see what you're working with". I really just wanted to meet her and maybe get a picture.

Turns out she thought I was a talent/wrestler and was simply being helpful. She was a close talker and smelled like candy. These are the things I remember.

On another occasion, I went to Chicago to see WWE and as a Triple H and Chyna match was ended they were walking back up the ramp. TV cameras were off, and the #1 rule of professional wrestling...DO NOT as a fan go into their work space. Meaning, don't jump in the ring, don't go over the rail.

A fan leaped the rail and was running towards Chyna. Chyna seemed surprised but didn't flinch an ounce. Now Triple H on the other hand spotted the interaction and wasn't having any. Triple H all 280lbs of him turned to the kid and phisically made him pay the price.

Too many Pro Wrestlers die way too young, glad I had a chance to meet Chyna. R.I.P.
