I didn’t know any of this and now I’m just pissed tf off
WWE star Chyna says she found a love note from the boss's daughter in her boyfriend Triple H's briefcase. Then the company offered her $400,000 a year, she said no, and she says a fax reached her at a deli: they wouldn't be needing her anymore.
In the video below she says: "I found a note, actually." It came from Stephanie McMahon, she says, "dated, like, a year beforehand."
Chyna was the first woman to win WWE's Intercontinental title. Stephanie's father, Vince McMahon, owned the company. In a 2012 post, Chyna said she told Stephanie she "was lucky her father was there or I would of ripped her face off."
Then the contract came up.
Jim Ross, then WWE's head of talent, says she told him: "I'm as valuable as Stone Cold is to WWE." She wanted $1 million a year. Her sister says the offer had a $400,000 minimum.
She says Vince's last words were that "blood was thicker than water." The next week she was eating lunch at Jerry's Deli when the fax came.
Triple H married Stephanie in 2003 and now runs WWE's creative.
In 2004 an adult film with her then-boyfriend, Sean Waltman, came out. In 2015 Triple H said she "absolutely deserves" the Hall of Fame, then asked what his 8-year-old would find looking her up: "What comes up?"
She died in 2016, at 46. WWE inducted her in 2019, as part of Triple H's group.
The case for WWE: Ross says "her conduct and her mood and attitude" cost her the contract, and Triple H has said their relationship "had gone downhill" before Stephanie.
The case for Chyna: "It wasn't like I was making, like, what the guys were making."
Did she price herself out, or did she lose her job for catching the boss's daughter?
