After yesterday’s post I was deeply shocked that the first
thing I saw when I woke up this morning was one of my colleagues asking me if I
was going to come into work today following the news of Chyna’s death. I
quickly checked her Instagram, which I mildly stalk, and was devastated that
she had indeed passed. At this point they are not sure what happened and I will
not speculate. I only hope that she died peacefully and knew on some level that
she was loved by many. I also did go into work by the way.
I think the one word that sums up my feelings on Chyna’s
death is anger. She deserved so much more recognition than she got from the WWE
for everything she contributed. I am glad that Stephanie McMahon tweeted about
her death and called her a pioneer. Chyna spent so much of her life in
recent years trying to mend fences with the WWE, be acknowledged by them and inducted
into the Hall of Fame. It seems bitter sweet that they are only now acknowledging
her contributions and star power. I hope that they induct her into the Hall of
Fame in 2017. I feel like I may riot otherwise.

What Culture has done a fantastic job paying tribute to her
and her career today and I will include the link to their video Thank You Chyna because they say it all
so perfectly. I am so beyond blessed that I was able to meet her when I did. Chyna
had an incredible influence on my life and dazzled me with how strong women
could be. There will never be another Chyna. #ChynaHallofFame2017
