Hats off to WWE for doing the right thing and acknowledging the death of Chyna last week. WWE played a short video with shots of the Ninth Wonder of the World with tweets from several WWE superstars superimposed over the images.

We got to briefly see Chyna at her best in WWF/E, brushing aside the bad. For the first time for some younger fans, they got to see a true powerhouse in Chyna, someone to look up to provided they don€™t Google her. Chyna€™s history in porn is pretty well known, which is one major reason why we haven€™t really seen much about her when WWE turns back to the Attitude Era.

It€™s sad that the end of her life is what opened the door to the possibility of being recognized on WWE TV going forward, but regardless, it€™s what happened, and we€™ll see if WWE goes beyond this night, fitting tribute.
