But when you're a company that also creates the likes of Barbies, Hot Wheels and other toys aimed at kids, its common sense that a figure of a porn star won't fit in. No yeah I agree with you. But I wonder sometimes how we pick and choose what is a forgivable offense and what isn't. Just playing devil's advocate a bit. Mattel wouldn't take a chance and I don't blame them either. If a parent was offended by a Chyna figure then they might choose not to buy anything from the WWE line or anything Mattel branded. Multiply that by the amount of people that get offended easily nowadays (which is a lot) and it'll be bad for business. I'm not saying it'll send them broke but it could hurt sales. That's my take on it anyway. But when you're a company that also creates the likes of Barbies, Hot Wheels and other toys aimed at kids, its common sense that a figure of a porn star won't fit in. An RSC exclusive of Chyna would certainly solve this particular dilemma. No it wouldn't. Bill has already said Chyna wouldn't be made. Making it an exclusive won't change a thing. |

If it were an internet exclusive, it wouldn't be on shelves next to Hot Wheels and Barbie toys. THIS was the point I was making. It would ABSOLUTELY make a difference, barring any statement made by Bill that I never read. |

Online or offline, it would still be a figure of a porn star that Mattel will be associated with, which they obviously don't want to be. It's them protecting their child friendly image. |

That doesn't matter if it was an exclusive or not Mattel would have still made it. And once word got out that they made a figure of someone who is a porn star they would be under fire from parents groups and moral majority groups. That is the kind of thing those type of groups live for. |

Is it not conceivable, then, that parents groups will be up in arms if they find out that Mattel made figures of people like X-Pac and Hogan, whether they were compensated for their tapes or not? Is Mattel drawing the line at Chyna's moral decisions or her paycheck? People are going to get pissy about whatever they want.

Also, I don't buy that Hogan or X-Pac didn't make money off their sex tapes.

Plain and simple Chyna has done multiple films, photo shoots, and has done strip club appearances. She is actively involved in the adult film world, not to mention all her issues with substance abuse and her constant fascination with berating Vince, Triple H, & Stephanie McMahon in the media. For all the reasons above the wwe will not work with her on anything merchandising, DVDs, hall of fame. In 7-10 years when she is maybe a different person then that's one thing but not now. No way!

Kids today don't even know who Chyna is. She will be 1 per case and snatched up by us and scalpers. When she goes in the HOF with DX a year later we should have one

Chyna and x actually did make a profit from both tapes as they were released by red light district, they weren't leaked.

Idk she's a porn star, and even though x PAC was in adult films too, so it doesn't make any sense

with both XPac and Hogan they weren't being paid. They were personal tapes that were leaked. Chyna was hired for at least one produced movie. X PAC made money on 1 Night in Chyna. That's why Chyna calls it the rape tape and Waltman says they both made money off it. It wasn't leaked, X Pac sold it. |

Appearing in a sex tape doesn't make someone a porn star. If that was the case, I'd be looking for Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian on Brazzers. Vivid has the rights to at least one of those two sex tapes (Kim's) and both make money off of it. I wish business was just business sometimes. Chyna's playboy and first movie with vivid were the highest grossing editions of either company when it comes to celebrities. I get that not every person buying Backdoor to Chyna is a wrestling figure collector, but the demand has to mean something. Also to the people saying that she is currently active in porn you are wrong. For over the past year she has been retired from that industry and has been in Japan teaching English. Her contract held her for three movies and once she finished them she was done with porn. It was entirely just for the money and I, as many others, believe if she had got the call from TNA before vivid she would never have done porn. |

problem is shes never fell back into good graces with WWE/Vince and i doubt Steph wants her around Triple H.. but who knows.. i would love to see it. We kinda need her now that DX is getting fully assembled.

If teaching English in Japan is a code word for strung out call girl, then I'm seriously out of the loop in terms of slang. |

We can be happy for Hall and Jake for being clean and sober but Chyna is still considered strung out? |

Do we really need two active threads to discuss this?
