#5 Vince McMahon offered Chyna the chance to become a WWE Champion
Chyna will always be remembered as a trailblazer in the annals of pro wrestling history. The WWE Hall of Famer was the first and only woman to win the Intercontinental Championship, and there were even calls for her to win the WWE Championship during the peak of her career.
In fact, the 'Ninth Wonder of the World' could have very well had a WWE title reign on her resume.
Chyna's former manager Anthony Anzaldo, who was interviewed as part of Wrestling Inc's 'Documenting Chyna' series, revealed that Vince McMahon offered Chyna the opportunity to become a WWE Champion. However, there was a catch.
Vince McMahon's proposal meant that Chyna would have to give up the chance of modeling for Playboy.
The former WWE Women's Champion chose Playboy over the WWE Championship.
"They offered her the WWE Championship belt, but Vince said, 'But you can't do Playboy' because she got offered to do Playboy. She chose Playboy over the belt. Vince says, 'If you do Playboy, you don't get the belt.' She said f--k the belt. I'm doing Playboy. Highest selling out of the box Playboy, first week Playboy, in the history of Playboy, more than Kim Kardashian. It's top three of all time behind Kardashian and Marilyn Monroe."
Chyna's WWE career spiraled out of control after reaching a memorable high, and she was released in 2001. Chyna passed away in April 2016.
