XCRITIC MAGAZINE INTERVIEW
The following interview is from xcritic magazine:
By: Apache Warrior
The adult industry is known to transform it's male and female stars. In the case of Chyna, this transition will allow her fans to see her in a more personal environment. Even though her endeavors have always brought a high level of excitement, her new path will show off a more emotional side of this talented woman. It will make people see her in a different and better light. One can say that it's Chyna unplugged. Furthermore, I hope that she will receive the opportunities to show off her acting abilities in character driven roles as she desires. Chyna deserves it. However, for now, we can enjoy watching her in Vivid's Backdoor to Chyna.
Hi Chyna, it's great to see you back on screen. Why did do decide to get back into porn?
Well, I didn't really get back into porn. I'd never really been in it. I decided to make poison into medicine. Over the last couple years, I've been really getting my power back and cleaning up my life regarding the people around me and giving closure to some rather big obstacles I've overcome in my past. Without harping on it or giving it any credit, I took the most violating disgusting thing that has ever happened to me and I decided to do a real porno; a sexy empowering movie. I had full control and Vivid treated me like a beautiful Princess! I felt like I really needed to do this right now. I made the right choice. It was complete freedom!
Who made the first move. Did Vivid approach you first or did you go to them with the idea?
I have been in touch with Vivid for a while. It was a mutual project, and when Steven Hirsch is interested, it's something I couldn't turn down. Vivid works with the most beautiful, sexy women and men in the world! It's a complete honor and complement to do a movie with Vivid! I used to go down Sunset Blvd. and see the pictures of the beautiful girls, and see the calendars in the stores and think "Oh my God! They're so beautiful and sexy. I wish I could be like them!"
Did you have an idea of what type of film you wanted to make such as the male and female stars who you would want to be paired with? If so, why them?
Well, I wanted to work with the hottest most beautiful and sexy stars, and they wanted to work with me also which makes a huge difference. You would think there would be a lot of ego and jealousy, but it was exactly the opposite. The people I worked with were huge fans and were as excited to work with me as I was to work with them, and I was really in their element so I wanted the best and the most beautiful. They made me feel more than comfortable!
You have your very first all-Girl sex scene in this film. How was that experience? I think that Diana Prince and Dylan Ryder were a great match-up for you? In a way, they remind me of you a bit.
Diana and Dylan are so beautiful, and they are really fun and flirty. In this tape I wanted to try everything and I knew it would be in a sexy fun and safe way. This was the first all girl experience for me and it was really fun and easy going. I was wondering "What do I do?" I was nervous. Plus, this was my first scene ever! Once we started, it was very natural, and I knew that it was also a really pretty visual art. Just positioning ourselves and getting ready and sensually kissing and touching was really pretty. I thought we all had similar characteristics as well; a sexy brunette Charlie's sex angels!
You also have a very intense anal scene. Were you very nervous the night before the shoot? How was that experience?
I guess you could say I satisfied a "BIG" curiosity about the anal scene! Yes, oh yes. I was very nervous about it! I felt it was important for me to do that in a relaxed sexy experimental and curious environment. That way I got to actually experience it. Not sure how to describe it? It was definitely hot in a taboo type of way and I say if you are really going to do something, do it BIG or go home! When I was done, I felt like I won this huge physical award or something!
There is no doubt that when people see you in person or on film that you are quite striking. You are so hot. In your opinion, what makes a man sexy? What makes a woman sexy? What traits of a man do you admire? What traits of a woman do you admire?
Thank you for the compliment. That always feels good to hear doesn't it? Part of being sexy is a confidence and control over your body and how you carry yourself. Don't you ever notice that sometimes after you know a person they become twice as attractive? It's definitely that way in porn. Everyone is exceptional looking to begin with, but then, they have this "sexual" personality, and that is so so sexy!!!! I wanted to experience all of that. The men were definitely strong, sexy, confident, very hard and very masculine. The women were very beautiful, flirty, and fun. On set and off, we giggled, laughed and talked a lot, and it was fun!
Are there any industry people (actors, actresses, directors, even studios) that you would like to work with in the future? What would be your dream scene?
I wasn't sure what my experience was going to be like doing a porn, but I knew I was going to get the best with Vivid so I was not scared to do it, just a little nervous. Maybe a little insecure since I didn't know anything about the business. People know me all over the world so I knew that there would be a lot of opinion and judgment to go along with the movie. However, I am a woman who has always tried new and adventurous things that most people would never dare to do, and I am proud of that. So I shut all of that out and completely went for the once in a lifetime experience. I have to honestly say I never felt so free and sexy and beautiful and had so much fun at the same time. I felt like a star while filming also! I definitely would do this again in the future and I would love to do some fun fantasy set type of thing! Maybe something more scripted? More character driven. That would be so cool. I am so happy to have worked with the people in the movie. I'd like to work with them again for sure! I speak often with the girls and we have become great friends, and the boys are complete gentlemen. I have gotten out of this movie something I never got out of my personal life!!!! Go figure!
What is your favorite thing about being an adult performer?
My favorite thing about being an adult performer is that it contains all of the elements I love! I have to admit I am a born entertainer! I love the camera, I love the "star" aspect of it all, I love the fun, the freedom, and the creativity of following a guideline, yet adding your own style and personality to everything. The sex is better for me on the set rather than in my personal life because you already know what you will and won't do, so you can be really free and GO FOR IT! I really admire the confidence of the performers and the comfort of it all. It's really empowering and very logical to me.
How were you as a kid?
As a child I was always very outgoing. I was always singing, dancing, jumping around, playing music, and swimming. I loved performing and costumes and I had traveled and was always educated and cultured from a very early age. I think that it always made me nonjudgmental and I saw the world as this big place. I still do, and I feel it's OK to try everything. It blows my mind when I think of all the things I have accomplished in this world so far. It's really remarkable!!! Sometimes it doesn't even seem real! I still feel that way! More more! Give me more!
What are your interests and hobbies?
I love the water, so anything that has to do with sailing, swimming, and frolicking in the water. One of my dreams is to live on the water one day. I love makeup and fashion, reading, yoga, and watching movies. I love spending time with friends, good food, and good company. I love to travel. Usually my work ends up being a "hobby" in a way, which is a true success in my opinion.
What would you like to see happen in your career?
I have no idea what will happen in my career. I still keep doing new and exciting things. I have been fortunate in that way. This movie is a big fearless bold move and I am really, really excited about it. I'm proud of it. It was a great experience and I hope it will bring some great new ventures. I know if I am happy and feeling great right now, there is a lot to be said for that! On a personal note, I have yet to meet the man of my dreams too!

ROCK STAR CONFIDENTIAL MAGAZINE INTERVIEW
Chyna has continually set the bar very high for herself. She graduated from college with a 3.9 GPA; speaks fluent Spanish, French and German; served in the ROTC and the Peace Corps; has been on the covers of numerous magazines from Playboy to People and on such TV shows as “The Surreal Life: Fame Games” and “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.”
Now she raises the bar even higher with a bold step into the world of adult entertainment. Vivid Video has released “Backdoor To Chyna”, Chyna’s first “full-out nasty” movie. “This is the XXX movie that I always wanted to make for my fans and it is full-out nasty,” says Chyna, who was called the “Ninth Wonder of the World” during her fighting days because of her aggressive wrestling style against both men and women. In addition to winning the WWF Women’s Championship, Chyna is the only female in professional wrestling history to compete full time in the men’s division, where she twice held the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
“I chose the guys in the movie and made sure that the sex is as wicked as it can be,” Chyna adds. “We did scenes in a warehouse, a bar, a gym and even in my own home in the Hollywood Hills – and I guarantee you it is hot, hot, hot.”
“I’ve always been a pioneer in my life and I am thrilled with this movie. I loved every minute of it. It made me feel beautiful and very sexy. My fans know that I’ve been through many obstacles and I want them to know that I feel and look better than ever and I’m definitely ready for them to see me close-up,” said Chyna. “I think almost every adult can use a little porn in their lives. If they don’t want to make a movie, they can benefit from watching one. And, if they don’t think sex is a natural human function, they should seek help.”
Sit back and enjoy our RAW interview with Vivid’s newest superstar, Chyna.
Chyna, there has been quite a bit going on for you lately. How have things been personally over the past few months?
I’m really happy. Things are going good. I feel well and I think I feel as good now as I did at the top of my wrestling days. The time with Playboy was some of the best times of my life. I’m feeling that way – especially right now – because I’ve been through my share of hell. Doing this project with Vivid has made me feel really good. They’ve treated me so well. It’s a great company and I was safe and able to be involved. It was something that was desperately needed at this time I think.
To hear you talk about it now and from what I’ve read in other interviews, you seem really excited about this. Is it safe to say this project with Vivid is kicking off another chapter in your career?
Most definitely. I think it’s just been waiting to happen. As anyone can see, my career has really evolved. This is something I didn’t expect to do but when the opportunity came up I thought, “Why should I NOT do this?” I couldn’t think of any reason! I just went for it. It’s a bold move but I’m bold also! It ended up being beyond my expectations.
I’m sure some people see this as a negative move personally and professionally. I sincerely think if you do it the right way and make the right decisions that it can almost be an empowering situation for you.
That was absolutely my reason for doing it. I made this decision with a clear mind. It’s not something I ever thought I would do. I never even watched a porn before I did this movie! It was a very emancipating feeling. I didn’t have to sign my life away to do it. I got treated well. I got more action in this porn than I have my entire life! (laughs) All of the elements were there for me. There was nothing negative about it. I’m comfortable with my body. I’m comfortable with what I was doing. It was almost therapeutic in a way. It kick-started me again. I went in prepared. I had a lot of armor on! I thought I was going to take a creaming when this came out! (laughs) I did it last November. I’ve been keeping it secret all this time. I’m having a lot of fun. I proud of the interview and the way it was done. It has been very empowering and it gave me a sense of control again.
The glamour is definitely there. It’s almost like you get to take on a rock star type of attitude.
It’s funny you say that. When I saw Rock Confidential that’s exactly what I thought. It’s a very free attitude. You leave all the drama at the door and just do your thing. It’s funny because I feel more mature and more responsible than I’ve ever been. (laughs) Back when I was wrestling I was very responsible, too. I don’t know if I’ve matured or what, but it all seems more controlled now.
I think you’re in a perfect position because you are your own brand. It’s like owning a business and you’re the ultimate product. I think you’ll have so much more pride and success because your name – the name you fought so hard for – is on whatever you do.
Exactly. I fought really hard for a long time to get my name. I finally got my name in 2007 after going to court for seven years. This is the first thing I’ve done with my name on it. I didn’t do this to be famous. The opportunity came up and I couldn’t say no. I’m known for taking chances and I’ve done everything in my career. It doesn’t affect my wrestling. It doesn’t affect my acting.
People that don’t really get it keep asking you if you think this move will alienate your fans. I just don’t get it. If anything you’re appealing to the people familiar with your career.
Everybody has this reaction – like a “Go Chyna!” attitude. I thought I’d have to be on the defense but it hasn’t been that way. It’s made me happy. Some people saw the struggle after the carpet was pulled out from underneath me and I’m happy now. It’s real. I’m in a good place. A much better place than I’ve been in a very long time.
So where do you see this going? Are there other movies in the works? Do you get “creative control” with future projects?
I don’t know where were going to go from here. I didn’t expect this one to go so well. I knew it was a great experience and I enjoyed it so well. We’re definitely talking about doing another one. After doing the first one and not knowing what to expect I really don’t have any fears about doing another one. Now that I’ve gone through it once I can only guess that it would be something better. I’d like to do more adult films for sure. I’d like to do more mainstream stuff. If wrestling comes up I’d like to do that. Maybe write another book. Like you said, it’s another chapter and I’d like to do everything I could do that comes my way if I choose to.
All the wrestling fans saw you on Impact Wrestling. Was that a one-time gig or do you think you’ll be working with them again? Did they know about your video for Vivid?
You know, I don’t know if there is a future with them. I knew it was a one-time thing to fill in the gap for the Karen and Jeff Jarrett angle. It was really great for me to see old friends. It was wonderful to be there. I don’t know what’s going to happen. There’s never been any talks. I didn’t tell anybody about this movie because it was a separate project, ya know? I didn’t need to tell anybody.
You were supposed to have this emotionless face when you made that appearance on Impact, but deep down I could tell you were really glad to be there.
(laughs) I really, really was. It was a surprise phone call from Vince Russo – out of the blue. I think people were fearful because they didn’t know how I was going to react. Why would I react badly? I don’t have a beef with them. There are certain people I refuse to see nowadays because I have issues with them but it was great to go back. I don’t know why it took so long for somebody to pick up the phone and call me.
Maybe they won’t wait so long next time! Hopefully they’ve got the message now!
(laughs) Maybe!
So what would you like to say straight to the fans to wrap everything up?
When you don’t think about how people will judge you or what they’re gonna think and you do something you genuinely want to do – don’t ever quit. Keep going for your dreams. Life is meant to be lived and I believe we’re put on this Earth to be happy. The only one’s that can judge you are you and God. Make your own choices and take advantage of any opportunities that come your way.

Some people saw the struggle after the carpet was pulled out from underneath me and I’m happy now. It’s real. I’m in a good place. A much better place than I’ve been in a very long time.
So where do you see this going? Are there other movies in the works? Do you get “creative control” with future projects?
I don’t know where were going to go from here. I didn’t expect this one to go so well. I knew it was a great experience and I enjoyed it so well. We’re definitely talking about doing another one. After doing the first one and not knowing what to expect I really don’t have any fears about doing another one. Now that I’ve gone through it once I can only guess that it would be something better. I’d like to do more adult films for sure. I’d like to do more mainstream stuff. If wrestling comes up I’d like to do that. Maybe write another book. Like you said, it’s another chapter and I’d like to do everything I could do that comes my way if I choose to.
All the wrestling fans saw you on Impact Wrestling. Was that a one-time gig or do you think you’ll be working with them again? Did they know about your video for Vivid?
You know, I don’t know if there is a future with them. I knew it was a one-time thing to fill in the gap for the Karen and Jeff Jarrett angle. It was really great for me to see old friends. It was wonderful to be there. I don’t know what’s going to happen. There’s never been any talks. I didn’t tell anybody about this movie because it was a separate project, ya know? I didn’t need to tell anybody.
You were supposed to have this emotionless face when you made that appearance on Impact, but deep down I could tell you were really glad to be there.
(laughs) I really, really was. It was a surprise phone call from Vince Russo – out of the blue. I think people were fearful because they didn’t know how I was going to react. Why would I react badly? I don’t have a beef with them. There are certain people I refuse to see nowadays because I have issues with them but it was great to go back. I don’t know why it took so long for somebody to pick up the phone and call me.
Maybe they won’t wait so long next time! Hopefully they’ve got the message now!
(laughs) Maybe!
So what would you like to say straight to the fans to wrap everything up?
When you don’t think about how people will judge you or what they’re gonna think and you do something you genuinely want to do – don’t ever quit. Keep going for your dreams. Life is meant to be lived and I believe we’re put on this Earth to be happy. The only one’s that can judge you are you and God. Make your own choices and take advantage of any opportunities that come your way.

VOC WRESTLING NATION RE-CAP
Chyna called into 1360 WNJC radio station in Philadelphia for the VOC WRESTLING NATION RADIO SHOW. Wrestling Journalist & friend of Chyna, Bill Apter spoke about his relationship with Chyna saying he knew her for years and called her "one of the nicest people" and a "sweetheart".
Chyna discussed her new video with Vivid, saying the video was shot last year and she feels life is short and she wants to take the opportunity to do everything in her life. She says Vivid helped her self esteem and made her feel beautiful. The video helped her re-gain control over some traumatizing experiences she had with the release of a 2004 sex tape which she said was released behind her back [the 1 night in China video]. She went on to say that she's in a good place in her life.
Chyna says she loved doing TNA and and it was a great expierence. She doesn't feel porn will prevent her from wrestling with them in the future, because she says she can do both. She says she is proud of accomplishments in wrestling. She also mentioned her deal with TNA happened overnight and thought it was "really cool" to come back out to the ring after 10 years.
Chyna was asked about her musical career and Chyna says she wanted to try everything but thought she was a "bad singer" so decided to leave it behind.
Bill Apter talked about re-connecting with his friend Chyna at last month's "Legends of the Ring" convention and noted how long her line was. Chyna
said it was very humbling to meet so many fans.
Chyna said she enjoyed her time with "Celebrity Rehab" but wished she could have gotten better therapy. She said it didn't help her but didn't hurt her
either.
Chyna was asked about her relationship with Triple H and asked if she would come back to the WWE. Chyna says she's over Triple H and would come back
but that she hasn't heard from the WWE since 2001.
Chyna seemed to be in a good place, she was happy and emotionally together. Before she left Chyna mentioned she will be doing a lot of wrestling conventions and shows in coming months.

CHYNA RESPONDS TO MHT
Chyna has officially ended her relationship with Model House Talent and sent the following letter to the company explaining why.
Dear Daisi,
You posted an announcement last Sept. 27th stating that I was a client of Model House Talent. As such, you should have been looking out for my best interests and helping to portray me in a positive light to the media. Recently, however, you made statements to the media that were critical of my decision to enter into a relationship with Vivid Entertainment, which has just released my movie “Backdoor to Chyna.”
At the very least, you should have contacted me before you said anything on my behalf on this subject. I find it ironic that you managed to promote yourself in your outreach to the media while saying negative things about me, your supposed client.
I’m sending you this letter to officially end our relationship even though you stated that I never “officially retained any of (your) company’s services regarding public relations.” You no longer have the right to use my name and/or image in any way, shape or form.
Personally, I am very happy with my decision to make an adult movie with Vivid. They are a great company and have treated me fairly. My fans are the beneficiaries. Sales are terrific and I’m already thinking about what I want in my next movie. I hope you achieve the success that you want as well.

RADIO HAPPY HOUR RECAP
www.alivingwonder.com -Chyna came on to the "Happy Hour" radio show on June 9 and talked about her status with TNA, she mentioned that she got a call from TNA owner Vince Russo out of the blew to come in and work the story line with Kurt. Chyna said she would go back in the future if asked. She dispelled rumors that TNA told her they didn't want her back saying, she had only agreed to a one time deal, the show got huge ratings and that hadn't spoken to anyone since her Pay Per View match. but as far as she knew the door was still open.
She talked about her appreciation for Shawn Micheals and Triple H getting her into the industry and mentioned Shawn always looked out for her and pushed her into doing more with her wrestling career and mentioned her WWE days were some of the best days of her life and that she never really knew how big of a star she was until
after her wrestling days. In addition she said she was "over" the Triple H and Stephanie drama and has no ill feelings for them but wanted to set the record straight that her WWE release had nothing to do with money, but it was over the Triple H/Stephanie affair.
She thought Sable and Sunny were "great" and said she was still friends with Sunny. She also said she regretted not getting along better with Sable. Chyna said she had a hard time working with the women in the WWE because she had never worked with women before and felt awkward in the ring against them because of the size difference.
Chyna noted that today she is happy to be alive after several "close calls" and finally feels like she's in a happy place in her life and is extremely happy with the path she took in life because her struggles made her who she is today.
The hosts asked her about her mainstream projects after the WWE including movies, Playboy, television, "Surreal Life", "Celebrity Boxing", "Illegal Aliens" and much more. She said she never takes it personally when she is turned down for a part, and that to even be considered for roles like "T3" and "Wonder Woman" is an honor.
She said she loved "Surreal Life" and "Fame Games" and did it for fun. She credited "The Surreal Life" for "saving her" during a difficult time where she described herself as "mental". When asked about her ex-lover Sean, she said she never wanted to have contact with Sean Waltman ever again.
Chyna didn't really speak on her former PR company Model House Talent's comments on her new XXX tape, but did say she was thrilled about all of the amazing new projects she has. She explained the video with Vivid was therapeutic because she had "total control" of it, unlike the release of the 2004 sex tape with Sean Waltman which she said she had no control over the release. She said she enjoyed the experience with Vivid and that the confidence she gained from doing the new xxx tape has motivated her to hit the gym everyday and to live a healthy, sober life. Chyna mentioned she plans to do more adult films as well as regular films and wrestling in the future.
Chyna took calls from the fans. Chyna confirmed she is NOT on facebook and said that she was on it for awhile but could not keep up with all of it. She said that the fans hold her up and make her feel good. On her free time Chyna says she is learning Japanese, swimming, reading, dancing, sailing and traveling.
In conclusion, Chyna seemed to be at peace with the WWE situation, and her life in general. She seemed to be very healthy, happy and in control.

BALTIMORE SUN'S Q & A WITH CHYNA
The following was reported on baltimoresun.com: Although it’s been a decade since Chyna was one of the biggest wrestling personalities of WWE’s Attitude Era, she certainly has been making headlines over the past several weeks. Last month, she wrestled in her first match in the U.S. since 2001 on TNA’s Sacrifice pay-per-view. Then came the shocking news that she had recently shot an adult film with Vivid Entertainment titled “Backdoor to Chyna.” I conducted a phone interview Wednesday with Chyna, who talked about her decision to venture into the porn industry, her experience with TNA and her future plans.
Why did you choose to go back into adult entertainment at this point?
Well, in the first place, I’m not really getting back into it. The [sex tape with then-boyfriend Sean “X-Pac” Waltman that was released in 2004] was done to me and it was degrading and violating and a really traumatizing experience. You know, I think throughout my career in wrestling it’s kind of been like a three-ring circus. It was a lot of fun and I loved every minute of it. I loved the fans and I loved everything that I did. I branched out from that: I wrote a book and I did Playboy and I did all these things that were very, very successful, and I loved doing every single one of them. So when this came up, I wasn’t necessarily thinking that I was going to go in this direction, but because most of the things I’ve done in my life and most of the experiences have been really great, and this industry was kind of tarnished for me, I just felt mentally that I wanted to experience it, to cross that barrier and see what it was like. I’ve always taken risks and been a pioneer at different things and experiences. And Vivid – I didn’t really know a whole lot about porn at all, but I knew the company Vivid, and I knew that they had the most beautiful women and the hottest guys and that they were a well-known company and a reputable company, so I decided to go for it and it turned out to be a great experience. Vivid was incredibly professional. Not only did they pay me well, but I felt really beautiful and sexy and it was fun. I was involved from beginning to end and there was nothing negative about the experience. I found it to be very empowering and it helped me therapeutically with something that I had in my head mentally from a really bad experience and it healed me in a way – it’s kind of crazy.
Are you planning to do more adult films?
I don’t see why not. Like I said, it was a really positive experience. To tell you the truth, I haven’t had that much negative buzz, because I don’t see a reason for there to be a negative buzz. I’ve already show my talent and my ability as far as wrestling, and acting, and modeling and writing and all of that, so to me it doesn’t affect any of those things. It’s been like 10 years since I’ve been on contract with wrestling, and I’ve gotten a lot of opportunities here and there, but they’re like one-time things, and those things haven’t been knocking down my door for a future career. So when this opportunity came up, I said, “You know what, I’m going to do it. What have I got to lose? Nothing.” And I’m really glad I did.
Are you worried at all that you may lose some of your fans over doing a porn movie?
I don’t think I’m going to lose fans over it. I think it might be a shock, but I don’t think I’ll lose any fans. If anything, I think I’ll gain. And like I said, this wasn’t done to me – it was by choice. It’s a very empowering move, just like wrestling was with my athletic ability to fight with the men and the women and play a character. When I did Playboy it was very successful because my attitude is that I’m doing it for a very empowering reason, and I think that’s logical and it makes sense. But as far as any friends or some of the wrestlers that I stay in contact with, it’s just fun for everybody [laughs]. I love all the hoopla, really. They’re all like, “Go, Chyna.” I was determined to do this. I leave all prejudice at the door as to what people are going to think or what they’re going to say. The experience was tremendous and it made me happy. Is it something that I’m proud of? Yes, I’m proud of it. Like I said, it’s my movie. I worked with the best and it was a great experience. At the end of the day, people don’t live your life and you have to do what makes you happy, and the only ones that can judge you are yourself and God.
I read a quote from you recently in which you said that doing this movie potentially cost you a contract with TNA. Can you elaborate on that?
Well, I haven’t actually really spoken with them since I did a television spot and the pay-per-view, but it was never a contract on the line. They asked me to participate in the angle of what they were doing and I thought it would be fun. I went and I talked with them, and it was wonderful to see some old friends. I was elated, and so I did it. We hadn’t really talked about a deal. I just didn’t think that was something that I really wanted to get back into full force. They’d have to make me a deal that I simply couldn’t say no to, because I fought [to own the name Chyna] for years. I spent a lot of time and a lot of money to take control of myself – which is another reason why this movie is special to me. I own me, and nobody tries to take my name. I like my freedom. For somebody to take that from me after all these years, it would have to be something so incredible – which I feel that I’m worth – and that didn’t seem to be the case with TNA. But – and I don’t know where they’re coming from because I haven’t spoken to them directly – to me, [the movie] is material on a silver platter. There’s tons of stuff you could do with this for story line or exposure or whatever. My curriculum vitae is well-rounded [laughs]. It’s never stopped me from anything else and if it does, too bad. Life is short and I’m going to live it.
You mentioned that you saw some old friends when you did the angle in TNA, but I’m sure there were a lot of people there who had never met you before. How were you treated backstage?
Wonderfully. They have a fantastic atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. I had butterflies in my tummy just seeing everybody. It had been a long time. I had a smile from ear to ear the whole time. I really didn’t know any of the girls but they were all really excited that I was there and it was nice.
The crowd in Orlando at the pay-per-view was really hot for you. Did it surprise you to get that kind of reaction? Were you worried that perhaps people wouldn’t remember you?
Oh God no, I wasn’t worried about that, because don’t forget that I was part of the business when we were doing 500 chairs in a high school arena and then it became this billion dollar business. I was on Wall Street when they rang the bell, you know? Before that I think it was like, if you’re a wrestler, you’re a wrestler – period. And then the business grew, and I definitely started branching out because I want to do everything I can. I think when you have that opportunity you seize it. So wrestling fans at first when people started doing that were like, “Oh, you’re bigger than the business” or “you think you’re Hollywood.” Once everybody started doing other things like TV and movies, and I did Playboy and wrote a book, it was great and the fans were really supportive. And now it’s obviously a lot more common that people are in and out of the business, and the fans are always there no matter what you do. If you’re not in wrestling anymore and you’re doing something else, they’re going to support you. It’s amazing to know that those fans are still always there.
Do you keep up with wrestling at all these days?
Not really, to be honest. I certainly flip through – I have to turn it on the days that it’s on, but, like, I’ll watch Monday Night Raw with “The Bachelorette” [laughs]. When I was in WWE, I was in such a great place. Professionally, it was one of the best times of my life and I loved my work. When the carpet was pulled from underneath me, I had a lot of years to heal from that. It took me a long time, which I think most people have seen in the public eye. I kept trying, but it was very difficult and I had some really difficult times. Now I really feel like I’ve come out of that over the past couple years. It’s taken tons of work and healing, but I feel great now, I really do. In going to TNA, whatever happens in the future or not, it was a sense of closure in the sense that after all this time, I could go back and hug all my friends and pass that bridge. Now onto whatever comes my way, and I’m jumping in with both feet.
So what is next for you? What else do you have going on?
Well, I’ve started doing live appearances, which I’m doing because a lot of them are around the world. I’m going to Japan; I’m going to Mexico. And I’m doing the typical conventions, which are a lot of fun for me because I hadn’t been doing anything like that for a long time, and the last time I did a convention [last month in New Jersey] the fans were lined up and wrapped around the building and it was really exciting for me. Since the movie has been released, it’s been doing really, really well, so I talked to [Vivid Entertainment founder] Steven Hirsch [Tuesday], and they want to talk to me about a contract with Vivid. I didn’t really expect this, but I’m definitely going to talk with them about it.
Why did you choose to go back into adult entertainment at this point?
Well, in the first place, I’m not really getting back into it. The [sex tape with then-boyfriend Sean “X-Pac” Waltman that was released in 2004] was done to me and it was degrading and violating and a really traumatizing experience.

I spent a lot of time and a lot of money to take control of myself – which is another reason why this movie is special to me. I own me, and nobody tries to take my name. I like my freedom. For somebody to take that from me after all these years, it would have to be something so incredible – which I feel that I’m worth – and that didn’t seem to be the case with TNA. But – and I don’t know where they’re coming from because I haven’t spoken to them directly – to me, [the movie] is material on a silver platter. There’s tons of stuff you could do with this for story line or exposure or whatever. My curriculum vitae is well-rounded [laughs]. It’s never stopped me from anything else and if it does, too bad. Life is short and I’m going to live it.
You mentioned that you saw some old friends when you did the angle in TNA, but I’m sure there were a lot of people there who had never met you before. How were you treated backstage?
Wonderfully. They have a fantastic atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. I had butterflies in my tummy just seeing everybody. It had been a long time. I had a smile from ear to ear the whole time. I really didn’t know any of the girls but they were all really excited that I was there and it was nice.
The crowd in Orlando at the pay-per-view was really hot for you. Did it surprise you to get that kind of reaction? Were you worried that perhaps people wouldn’t remember you?
Oh God no, I wasn’t worried about that, because don’t forget that I was part of the business when we were doing 500 chairs in a high school arena and then it became this billion dollar business. I was on Wall Street when they rang the bell, you know? Before that I think it was like, if you’re a wrestler, you’re a wrestler – period. And then the business grew, and I definitely started branching out because I want to do everything I can. I think when you have that opportunity you seize it. So wrestling fans at first when people started doing that were like, “Oh, you’re bigger than the business” or “you think you’re Hollywood.” Once everybody started doing other things like TV and movies, and I did Playboy and wrote a book, it was great and the fans were really supportive. And now it’s obviously a lot more common that people are in and out of the business, and the fans are always there no matter what you do. If you’re not in wrestling anymore and you’re doing something else, they’re going to support you. It’s amazing to know that those fans are still always there.
Do you keep up with wrestling at all these days?
Not really, to be honest. I certainly flip through – I have to turn it on the days that it’s on, but, like, I’ll watch Monday Night Raw with “The Bachelorette” [laughs]. When I was in WWE, I was in such a great place. Professionally, it was one of the best times of my life and I loved my work. When the carpet was pulled from underneath me, I had a lot of years to heal from that. It took me a long time, which I think most people have seen in the public eye. I kept trying, but it was very difficult and I had some really difficult times. Now I really feel like I’ve come out of that over the past couple years. It’s taken tons of work and healing, but I feel great now, I really do. In going to TNA, whatever happens in the future or not, it was a sense of closure in the sense that after all this time, I could go back and hug all my friends and pass that bridge. Now onto whatever comes my way, and I’m jumping in with both feet.
So what is next for you? What else do you have going on?
Well, I’ve started doing live appearances, which I’m doing because a lot of them are around the world. I’m going to Japan; I’m going to Mexico. And I’m doing the typical conventions, which are a lot of fun for me because I hadn’t been doing anything like that for a long time, and the last time I did a convention [last month in New Jersey] the fans were lined up and wrapped around the building and it was really exciting for me. Since the movie has been released, it’s been doing really, really well, so I talked to [Vivid Entertainment founder] Steven Hirsch [Tuesday], and they want to talk to me about a contract with Vivid. I didn’t really expect this, but I’m definitely going to talk with them about it.

CHYNA COMP CARDS
NEW PHOTOSHOOT
CHYNA'S FUTURE WITH TNA
The following story was reported by tmz.com regarding Chyna's role with TNA:
Wrestling superstar Chyna tells TMZ ... she has been told point blank that if her new XXX porn tape is actually released, she will never be allowed to work for TNA Wrestling ever again. It's a big deal for Chyna -- because she had recently been in talks with the wrestling organization about working out a long term deal ... and before the XXX tape came into the picture, things were looking optimistic. But now, with the hardcore tape set to be released later this month, Chyna tells us she got a call from TNA honchos warning her that if she lets the tape hit shelves ... the deal is off for good. Chyna tells us, "The whole thing has been constant drama ... it's all good in the end ... [TNA Wrestling] is missing the boat." She adds, "FREEDOOOM!" So far, no word from TNA.
CHYNA'S PR REP SPEAKS
Chyna's management team has issued the following statement to alivingwonder.com regarding Chyna's role with Vivid Entertainment:
Los Angeles, CA (June 3, 2011) “We at Model House are disappointed she couldn’t make better career and personal choices despite our overwhelming support,” beauty queen and President of Model House Talent and Beauty Queen Management, Daisi Pollard Sepulveda, says of Chyna’s recent porn scandal. It was a year ago when Yohe Sato manager of Joanie “Chyna” Laurer’s came to Model House Holdings owned by Jamaican Beauty Queen Daisi Pollard Sepulveda to ask for our services to help redevelop Chyna’s image.
Sepulveda also issued the following video, explaining that their original statement to alivingwonder.com was given due to lack of knowledge regarding the film.
