Chyna at her peak

Pro-wrestling lost one of its pioneers this week when former WWE Women’s Champion Chyna passed away in her apartment in California. An investigation into the cause of the 45-year-old’s death is in progress, foul play having already been ruled out.

Tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW will take place in WWE’s home in Hartford (almost, Stamford's an hour away), Connecticut  and it is heard that a tribute to Chyna will feature on the show. 

Called the ‘most dominant female athlete in the history of wrestling’, Chyna’s imposing physique, which was previously a source of awkwardness, made her a trailblazer in the industry. The only woman to hold the WWE Intercontinental Championship suffered a stark change in fortunes after her WWE career, struggling with substance abuse and bagging the random TV show appearance.

Chyna had apparently been dead for a couple of days before her body was discovered by her manager Anthony Anzaldo. They were in the midst of filming a documentary called “The Reconstruction of Chyna” and the cameras actually filmed the moment the group laid eyes on Chyna’s corpse.

Anzaldo still plans to release the documentary next year and needless to say, will never make that portion of footage available to the public. He is also trying to persuade Chyna’s family to have her brain donated for concussion research.
