Vince McMahon is a businessman in the truest sense. After spending almost his entire life with the WWE, he knows the limitations and boundaries of a company. During the early years, Vince was willing to do anything that might prove beneficial for the company. However, he knew when to stop for good, just at the right time.
Many people consider it an incorrect decision to set the WWE star, Chyna, free from the clutches of WWE at that point in her career. However, the main reason for her leaving the company has now come out. Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross revealed that there was a financial disagreement between Chyna and Vince McMahon before she left the WWE ring.
“She wanted a million dollars guarantee because she felt like she was worth more being a female, being more unique, than Stone Cold, some of the other guys,” said Ross. the management didn’t approve of paying her a million dollars every year. A million dollars was quite a hefty amount, and hardly any star received that.
The conversation finally opened the gates for her to quit the company. Despite being the 9th wonder of the world, the WWE management has kept their boundaries strong. Neither Chyna nor anyone else could interfere with the budget of the company, even if it meant losing your favorite star.
Chyna left WWE for the adult industry
Chyna had been one of the toughest players in the ring. With an exemplary talent for wrestling and an indomitable will, she was at the top of the division. Despite having multiple records to her name, the company had to let her go because her demands were beyond compromise.
She soon ventured into modeling for ‘Playboy’ magazine and movies. Later, she went ahead to pursue a full-time career in the adult film industry and became quite popular among the masses. With it followed her addiction to drugs, which proved to be a cause of her death.
Chyna may not be present amongst us at the moment, but the memories of the WWE Hall Of Famer continue to linger in the minds of all. Her legacy as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time would be passed down from generation to generation. The world is still not ready to acknowledge her absence from the wrestling world.
