5 Things you probably forgot about Chyna

#4 Chyna almost signed with WCW

Chyna

Chyna worked for WWE for only four years, but that was more than enough time for her to cement herself as one of the most prominent Superstars in the history of the company. She became the first woman in WWE to not only defeat a man but also win a men's title, the Intercontinental Championship. However, looking back, that could have gone down very differently had Chyna signed with WCW.

Prior to her signing with WWE, Chyna was approached by Eric Bischoff to sign a deal with WCW. Bischoff and WCW promised Chyna that if she accepted the deal, she'd get a major payday and would be welcomed as the first female member of nWo.

Initially, Chyna was thinking about accepting the deal as Mr. McMahon wasn't sure if he'd sign her or not. But, she eventually took a chance and rejected Bischoff's offer after the boss's son, Shane McMahon, asked her to turn down the deal WCW had offered her and promised he'd changed his father's mind about her.

Fortunately, Shane McMahon was able to live up to his promise and convince his father to sign her. Chyna made her WWE debut as a laconic bodyguard for Triple H and Shawn Michael's D-Generation X. She worked as a part of the faction for a few months before embarking on her singles run.
