Q&A with former WWE star Chyna
Although it’s been a decade since Chyna was one of the biggest wrestling personalities of WWE’s Attitude Era, she certainly has been making headlines over the past several weeks.
Last month, she wrestled in her first match in the U.S. since 2001 on TNA’s Sacrifice pay-per-view. Then came the shocking news that she had recently shot an adult film with Vivid Entertainment titled “Backdoor to Chyna.”
I conducted a phone interview Wednesday with Chyna, who talked about her decision to venture into the porn industry, her experience with TNA and her future plans.
Why did you choose to go back into adult entertainment at this point?
Well, in the first place, I’m not really getting back into it. The [sex tape with then-boyfriend Sean “X-Pac” Waltman that was released in 2004] was done to me and it was degrading and violating and a really traumatizing experience. You know, I think throughout my career in wrestling it’s kind of been like a three-ring circus. It was a lot of fun and I loved every minute of it. I loved the fans and I loved everything that I did. I branched out from that: I wrote a book and I did Playboy and I did all these things that were very, very successful, and I loved doing every single one of them. So when this came up, I wasn’t necessarily thinking that I was going to go in this direction, but because most of the things I’ve done in my life and most of the experiences have been really great, and this industry was kind of tarnished for me, I just felt mentally that I wanted to experience it, to cross that barrier and see what it was like. I’ve always taken risks and been a pioneer at different things and experiences. And Vivid – I didn’t really know a whole lot about porn at all, but I knew the company Vivid, and I knew that they had the most beautiful women and the hottest guys and that they were a well-known company and a reputable company, so I decided to go for it and it turned out to be a great experience. Vivid was incredibly professional. Not only did they pay me well, but I felt really beautiful and sexy and it was fun. I was involved from beginning to end and there was nothing negative about the experience. I found it to be very empowering and it helped me therapeutically with something that I had in my head mentally from a really bad experience and it healed me in a way – it’s kind of crazy.
