10 Wrestlers Who Suffered From The Curse Of Comparison

10. Nicole Bass - Chyna 

WCW’s Asya, the most blatant Chyna rip off, can be laughed off as a rib from a rival company. Unlike the continent and the country, Chyna dwarfed Aysa. WWE hiring their own Chyna imitator was a more bizarre prospect.

Nicole Bass debuted at WrestleMania XV, interfering in the Women’s Championship match to assist Sable to a win. Even this booking pitted the strongwomen against each other. In the match prior to Bass’ ‘Mania moment, Chyna likewise interfered to ensure Triple H’s victory over Kane. Bass stepped into Chyna’s yard and tried to offer an alternative while the ‘Ninth Wonder of the World’ was thriving.

The physical similarities between the two were evident and easy to make. It seems highly likely that they were intended to clash, though Bass was slow to take to professional wrestling.

In 1999 Chyna became the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble, participate in the King of the Ring tournament, and win the Intercontinental Championship. Meanwhile, Bass languished in a feud with Debra. She could never shake the link to Chyna, and worst, she could not be trusted to spin it into a match with her rival.
