– Triple H spoke with The Mirror today, and commented on the passing of Chyna. Here are the highlights…

On Chyna’s Passing: “It is obviously tragic and clearly my well-wishes go out to her friends and family. Brilliance sometimes, and that ability to push barriers and boundaries and be a pioneer, is often connected closely with other things that aren’t so positive sometimes, and demons, and unfortunately that is the case. Man, [she was] just a great person, an amazing talent, a ground breaking pioneer, that was never afraid to go out on a limb and blaze her own trail through life. She never took, and when you’re choosing a path [you can say] ‘hey here is a path let’s go down that one’ or you can blaze your own path and burn it up and create something for others to follow, and that’s what she did, and that star shone bright, but unfortunately burned out way too fast.”

On a Possible Hall of Fame Induction For Chyna: “You know it’s not my decision, but I definitely think, as I have said before, that what she did in her life certainly warrants it. There was never anybody like her before her, and there will never be anybody like her after. It’s certainly warranted and I’m sure at some point when the time is right, hopefully, that could happen.”

After what he said on "I don't want the kids to google her name and see the results" - in regards to the porn stuff - I would say this comes out as a bit of a "fake" / forced statement, even though it has all the feelings to bea truthful and sincere one on his behalf. Though we all know that the Porn thing was not the reason the WWE didn't want her back till now; they knew they couldn't "trust" her with a mic on live TV, especially after this past year and a half.

They couldn't risk it; it wouldn't be good for both the company and her. They allowed Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, The Ultimate Warrior, Jake Roberts to return after "troubled times"; they proved themselves to be over everything that haunted their professional and personal lives and they never compromised.

The WWE could trust them on that regards, however, they didn't seem too sure about Chyna, which makes the fact that she will, undoubtfully, be part of the H.o.F., a good thing; pity it took this sad event for that to be an assured thing.

Imo.:

Oh for fuck sake.

I know it's distasteful to talk ill of the dead but come on. The only reason she was pushed and got to beat up mean was because she was Triple H's girlfriend. And you noticed that stopped happening. That's because he dumped her for Stephanie.

I don't really care who goes into WWE's Hall of Fame because it's been a joke for so many years. She is a good candidate because she was over during WWE's hottest period.

Obviously what's changed is they don't have to deal when her when inducting her.

Actually no. There was a segment in a Canadian TV show - authorised by the WWE, in which Debra, Sable and Chyna had a "conversation" / argument (kayfabe) on how Chyna never going for the Women's Title was "ruining" the chances for women to breakthrough. This brought over her looks as a woman and stuff. She then went for surgery to become a bit more "feminine" looking - she stated herself that she was not going to embrace the overmasculinity angle much longer. Fact to the matter is; if she was fighting for the women's division, realistically the WWE wouldn't have anyone to dethrone her.

The fact to the matter is, she was pushed because Shawn Michaels actually stated she should, Triple H didn't even want her to be the #1 contender at '99 Summerslam, which ended up to go as HHH's wanted; instead of Chyna vs Steve Austin in the main event, we got Man Kind vs Steve Austin vs HHH for the WWF title with Chyna working as a valet.

Vince initially didn't want her because he thought it wouldn't be "believable", but Shane McMahon wanted to have "something edgy" and allowing her to go to WCW would be stupid. And let's be serious here; having a bodybuilder woman with the strength she had was perfect, Shane knew it. She was menacing looking in her debut - coming from the crowd and just literally shaking the hell out of Marlena/Terri Runnells. She pinned several former world heavyweight title holders; Jericho, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Jeff Jarrett; she eliminated Mark Henry in the Royal Rumble. She paved the way for women like Beth Phoenix and Kharma to being part of the Royal Rumble. She was a pioneer - not "THE" pioneer of the Women's division, but certainly "a" pioneer. Saying that she was "pushed" because "Triple H wanted that to happen" is wrong; in reality and in what the company's stance was on her character. HHH and Michaels met her in a bodybuilding contest in the mid 90s and started dating him in '96, yes. But the relationship was only "made known" after they broke up in 2000 or 2001. In the meantime, the people that pushed for her were the actual higher ups; again, she was "that" thing they needed. She was pivotal for the DX Faction and a big part of the company during her stint. Stating otherwise is a a lie and diminishing her achievements; both her personal and the overall effect it had in the women's division.

Oh so Chyna said she was fighting for The Women's Division so it's true? Well I guess that also means Triple H grabs like a crab when he has sex. Whatever that means. She said that too.

I'm going to pretend she was more important or better than she was just because she just died.

She helped Triple H get over when he was just a guy being pushed but nobody cared about.

She got to beat up men because she was Triple H's girlfriend. There's no other reason. Well other than I guess because Vince Russo was head of creative and it was the stupid thing to do. Honestly it was so embarrassing for the men who had to sell for her because her beating up men wasn't realistic. And if you need proof during that time she had a boxing match or something with some beer bellied dude in his late 30s/early 40s and she got rag dolled. Way to protect the business!

And she no longer got to beat up men after Triple H broke up with her. Then she made the wrong political moves and it wasn't long before she was gone from WWE.

She wasn't able to retain her star power in NJPW or TNA and it's her own fault.

And anyone angry at me well all I can say is at least I'm not pretending to like someone I never really did while she was alive.

If Chyna was fighting for the women's division as a way of saying "women can hang with the men too" they would of put the WWE Championship on her. Winning the IC Title was nice but she only had it for 2 months, if that.

Honestly she won the title to bury Jarrett not to empower women.

I honestly give Triple H a lot of props though. He's being very professional about this even though just a few months ago she called him a pedo and all sorts of names.

If I was getting set to takeover WWE I'd take a pass at about Chyna as well.

I guess he could easily went all Dana White on her and been in the right but he didn't.
