As much as I don't want to add fuel to this fire, there's no real point in trying to apply logic to it, as I believe it's based 95% on perception. We all know X-Pac was Chyna's partner in the initial video, but how many people in the general public know that? How many of them even know who X-Pac is? No disrespect to him at all, but at her height Chyna was arguably the third most famous person in the WWE, behind only Austin and Rock, and sadly she has spent more time being famous for drugs, porn and unhealthy behavior than she ever spent in the company. I think that is the bigger issue, the Florida Moms don't realize X-Pac was also in One Night in China, but they almost certainly will recognize her if they're even vaguely aware of it.

Just give it time, she might get a figure eventually.

To be 100% honest, I think we'll see a Katie Vick before Chyna. I like to stay optimistic but I donno.

I could care less I about the same divas over and over again. For a guy like savage, it was different. He actually had huge moments in his career and very distinguishable attires. There is not much to make for women, and there would never be much change. And personally I don't enjoy women's wrestling. To much b!t&hing and drama. I could go on and on. There are just some things in the wwe that piss me off. They could make women's wrestling so much more realistic and better than it is today. And for god sakes, Kevin Owens is fat af. He would stand a chance against anyone in the wwe in a real fight. That fight between Brock and randy, way to one sided and unrealistic. Same for Brock and Goldberg. Honestly, I liked how the wwe used to be. Now it's just, even more unrealistic. Which is really surprising.

Dont forget about Sunny (Tammy Lynn Sytch)True a mom wouldn't want a Mia Khalifa doll. Its also not like she did porn and then requested to start a WWE career. Chyna had a long legacy with WWE before she did porn. Should she really be denied a HOF or figure? Sunny was already known for charging people in the Internet to see her nude, and she got in the HOF. Should Mickie James not be allowed back in the WWE since she did a nude photo shoot in past? Should Mayrse also be in that category? Or the other WWE females that did Playboy during the Attiude era? Should everyone be denied their love for Seth Rollins because a girlfriend posted his nude pics on the internet? Nudity is a form of porn too. So that means all these wrestlers should be punished too because kids can find these naked photos on the interent just like they can find Chyna's. I already mentioned Sunny. Ain't nothing wrong with mentioning her again.

The only reason she isn't in the HOF is because the bad blood between Triple H and Stephanie. WWE only use the porn excuse as an excuse to not include her in the HOF!

you cant compare a bar fight and a dui, to being a glorified pornstar I agree, its a shame we havent gotten blaze or a few others.. But, chyna's legacy changed once she did a gangbang film. They're aimed at children. Dont think a mom would want their daughter to have a mia khalifa doll. True a mom wouldn't want a Mia Khalifa doll.

So that means all these wrestlers should be punished too because kids can find these naked photos on the interent just like they can find Chyna's. She should be in the hof. I never said she shouldn't. Since sunny did her porn, im sure the company wouldnr go near her now. You cant compare nude images, to someone having sex on camera. No matter if its a guy or girl. Why is that hard to understand? She is no longer remembered by the general public for her wrestling, but for her porn/drug life. There is no getting around it. She became an actual porn star, not just nude images...since she was in playboy while in wwe anyway.

Maybe it's a US/Canada thing with the female WWE figures... they all seem to shelf-warm/sell quite poorly here (UK). That's because you guys in the UK have those Smyth stores and when they restock they seem to get a few pallets of everything and have an entire aisle for wrestling figures. So it seems just by pics people have posted it's a lot easier to find stuff weather that be male or female characters. In the states we have Walmarts that have a 4 foot section for wrestling figures, and an entire aisle of awful Barbie dolls that don't sell and then get marked down in clearence section. So when I see a female character on the pegs in a store I usually buy it if I have the money to trade or I will return it for refund later. Other people will snatch them up to try to sell on eBay. If you look at the lineups Mattel has cranked out in the first 5 years the male to female ratio was a lot worse. Only now is it getting better because they are not making 5 billion Cena and Mysterio figures.

Im still so irritated that they sat on their hands for so long that we never got Gail Kim or Jillian Hall.

Its really sad how terrible they treated her. I dont think she will ever get a figure at this point since shes vowed never to return to the company. But who knows...
