Most Memorable Feuds/Angles

*Bodyguard for Triple H

*Co-founding member of D-Generation X with Triple H and Shawn Michaels

*Confidante, valet and advisor for Kane for a short while until she ditched him to go back with Triple H

*Was in an angle in which "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry claimed to be in love with her and began sexually harassing and stalking her. Eventually, "The World's Strongest Man" claimed Chyna was harassing him and brought on a lawsuit and subsequent restraining order

*Ditched her fellow D-Xers and became a member of The Undertaker's Corporate Ministry

*Feuded with sexist Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett for months, eventually putting him in his place for good

*Had Stacy Carter (The Kat) as her valet and "mini me" after defeating Jeff Jarrett for the IC strap

*Had long feud with Y2J Chris Jericho, who claimed he was better than her because he was a man (I never, eeeeeevvvver bought into Jericho's sexism stuff ;). The two battled it out for months until Jericho defeated both Chyna and Hardcore Holly for the IC title at Royal Rumble 2000 - when, the following night, Chyna and Y2J became pals. From then until the next 3 months, Chyna was Jericho's valet and ally. (Jerry "The King" Lawler constantly speculated on more to their relationship than just mutual respect, but that's another story)

*Began a little angle with Eddy Guerrero in which Guerrero constantly made sexual innuendos toward Chyna, who seemed not in the least interested in him

*Kicked Chris Jericho to the curb for Eddy Guerrero the night after WrestleMania 2000, where Y2J won the European Title. Chyna helped Eddy win the gold, then the two left the arena together and went for a ride in a funky-looking set of wheels!

*Had a good feud against Lita and Essa Rios, with whom she and Eddy had once been allies. After a couple of mixups with Lita which led to Rios' and Guerrero's defeat, Chyna put an end to the camaraderie by beating up both Essa and Lita

*Was Eddy Guerrero's Mamacita for 6 months. As in every relationship, there were problems. Chyna learned that Eddy had a bit of a temper, and she didn't appreciate his lack of sportsmanship or his meanness toward her friends. When she was literally going to walk out on him, Eddy proposed. While the crowd chanted, "Just say no," Chyna accepted. The engagement lasted about 2 or 3 weeks before GTV cameras caught Eddy in the shower with Victoria and Mandy, two of the former Godfather's Hos. Chyna was devastated and left Eddy for good

*Began hanging out with her old friend Billy Gunn, who was a strong support system when things went sour with Eddy

*Battled it out with Right to Censor, particularly Ivory, who claimed Chyna was immoral for appearing in Playboy and for things she'd said in her book, If They Only Knew

*Sustained a neck injury at the hands of Ivory and Val Venis, who piledrove her on her head. Chyna was out for over 2 months nursing her wounds. After a premature attempt at Ivory's Women's Title at Royal Rumble 2001, Chyna came back in full-swing, better than ever, to capture the belt at WrestleMania 17. Since then, she has been wowing fans by crushing each and every WWF diva who has the guts to challenge her


Alliances

Chyna began her WWF career as a female bodyguard to Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Triple H, who would later become her real-life boyfriend.  She has been a member of the original D-Generation X, along with Triple H and Shawn Michaels.  She later allied herself to Kane, only to turn on him and join the Undertaker's Corporate Ministry, where she and Hunter reunited.  She later ventured out on her own on a mission to capture the WWF Intercontinental Title, thus sparking a feud with then-champion Jeff Jarrett.  When she eventually defeated Jarrett for the title, Miss Kitty (now the Kat) ditched the former champion to become Chyna's "mini me."

After a feud with Chris Jericho, Chyna suddenly alligned herself with Y2J, remaining by his side for several months until she tired of him and fell for "Latino Heat" Eddy Guerrero.  For six months she was Eddy's Mamacita, until Guerrero screwed things up.  In the midst of these troubles, Steven Richards and Right to Censor began harassing Chyna for posing in Playboy Magazine, claiming she was "indecent."  Soon after, Chyna reunited with her friend the 1Billy Gunn.
