Source// 1Wrestling, ESPN ====================================================================== Article//============================================================= Chyna's Larry King Live appearence She said she liked playing the Chyna character, hitting men, combining her athletic ability with the love of her character. She liked the name Chyna, which was picked out by the WWF. She said she had to be really persistent in getting the character of Chyna. She said she was always an athlete and an entertainer growing up -- dancing, playing musical instruments and acting. Larry asked her why she left. She said she didn't. She said she was released from her contract (couldn't come to terms). She said Vince McMahon had just purchased WCW and she was the first big star up for contract renewal. She said her decision came down to: 1. She couldn't do other things. 2. She'd be going backward financially. 3. She had "milked the cow" there. She said she tried to be professional regarding Triple H and Stephanie, and she said she's only human, so it's natural that she was upset. She wants to do movies. She has a new deal with Playboy, signed Tuesday, for January's issue. She thinks her character brought in lots of minorities and women into the business. She considers herself the "emerging woman." She admitted having been raped at the University of Tampa. She said that writing about it in her book helped her therapeutically and made her the more liked and happier person she is now. She did confirm having had bulimia. She is not in contact anymore with her parents, but is close with her sister. Larry asked about her breast implant popping. She did confirm that. She said she is a lady with muscle and a look of strength. She said that men wrestlers are more experienced than the women they have wrestling (I'm sure she was referring to the divas). She said "never say never" regarding a return to wrestling, even mentioning a possible one-time return at Wrestlemania. She said she is indebted to Vince McMahon. She said she is single and is enjoying being wined and dined. She said she was going to join the secret service. That was basically the gist of the show.
