Chyna Return Covered Mainstream!

Chyna's return to professional wrestling has graced TMZ, and, this morning, it got the Perez Hilton treatment.

However, Perez is claiming that Vince was considering putting her into the Hall of Fame, and is infuriated that she would show up at a rival organization.

This is more than likely speculation and gossip on Perez's part to make people discuss things. I really don't see Vince putting her in the Hall of Fame at the moment, just because WWE doesn't seem to enjoy acknowledging her all that much. With their PG model, her antics on reality shows, stint on Celebrity Rehab and sex tape with X-Pac are definitely clashing factors.

For the record, I would love to see Chyna in the Hall of Fame, as much as WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross disagrees with me. She deserves some kind of recognition for being the first female to hold the Intercontinental Championship.

Good Faith Deal?

TMZ is reporting that former WWE Diva and now current TNA Knockout Chyna -- born Joanie Laurer -- is working for the Orlando-based company without a contract.

It is being reported that Chyna is being kept on a very, very short leash, and they note that this will be Chyna's first time in the ring in 9 years. She also has an offer to wrestle in Japan.

I don't know how I feel about this no contract, good-faith, short-leash deal. It always seems to burn either TNA or the talents involved. I also hope that Chyna's issues don't rear up again.

Chyna In TNA!

It appears TNA has dropped their idea of using Isis The Amazon as Kurt Angle's "partner" in favor of a much bigger name from WWF's 1990s heyday.

Spoilers are reporting that former WWF Diva Joanie Laurer, who competed under and later changed her name to Chyna, appeared at the show last night as Kurt Angle's partner. It appears she will be getting involved in the feud between Kurt, his ex-wife Karen and her new husband, Jeff Jarrett, who faced Chyna -- and lost the Intercontinental Championship to her -- in his last WWF match.

I'm pretty floored by this development, if for nothing else that I was under the impression that she was done with professional wrestling. I hope she has worked out her demons and gotten herself into a better place. She inspired so many and the path she has been on since she left WWE has been outright heartbreaking.
