10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE In 2001

5. Chyna Was Supposed To Star Alongside Schwarzenegger

Chyna Terminator The ongoing tit-for-tat between Chyna and Triple H has made for fascinating news in the wrestling world recently, and even Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman has become involved, stating Chyna's claims of domestic abuse from HHH towards her are wholly false. Details are sketchy at best, but it has thrown another spanner in the works for the woman ever getting inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, not that there was a great chance as it stood prior to the allegations! Leaving WWE under bad terms in 2001, Chyna was infuriated by a secret relationship between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon which had apparently been going on behind her back for at least a year. Looking to Vince McMahon for help, the patriarch of the company naturally took the side of his daughter, and Chyna was cast out into the cold. Incredibly, Chyna was in line to star in Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, fulfilling the role of the T-X robot, a part which would eventually be cast to Kristanna Loken. According to Chyna, McMahon refused to allow her to take on the movie role, something she feels was done out of badness, and an act she says she will never forgive.
