CHYNA'S JAPAN FAMILY

Chyna has battled through many fights in her life, including sexism and discrimination on her way to the top of the world!

She broke all gender barriers and stereotypes as she rose to the top of professional wrestling, and became the only female Intercontinental Champion, only female number one contender for the WWF and European titles and only female to qualify in both the Royal Rumble and King of the Ring tournaments.

Her accomplishments inside of the ring lead her to become one of the most popular stars of any gender in professional wrestling history and allowed her to enjoy a lot of success outside of wrestling as well.

Now retired from professional wrestling she is working on an acting and modeling career. She has been in over 10 feature films since leaving wrestling, she has been a guest star on over 50 television shows and has been on the cover of over 100 magazines including Playboy. In April 2009, she released a high fashion modeling book, featuring over 100 pages of pictures, stories and poems from Chyna.

Chyna has accomplished more in under 40 years than most people do in a lifetime. Some of her proudest accomplishments come from her work in the New Japan Professional Wrestling organization, created by wrestling hall of fame legend, Antoni Inoki.

"A person who I cherish more in this life is Mr. Antoni Inoki." Chyna told director Michael Moody. "He's just, without words spoke at all he has an incredible presence."

Chyna met Antoni Inoki at his LA Dojo in Santa Monica. Shortly after meeting him, he offered Chyna a job in his wrestling organization, NEW JAPAN (now known as Inoki Genome).

Chyna was trained in Mixed Martial Arts and what she described as "shoot style fighting" by Inoki.

"I would spend hours training, working out and learning how to wrestle in a whole new style." Chyna told director/reporter Michael Moody. "I would go in [to the dojo] at 6 in the morning and sometimes wouldn't finish training until 2 or 3 the following morning. It was a lot of work, but something I was very proud and happy to do."

Chyna made her New Japan debut in May 2002 as a referee and by September she became the first and only female to fight men in New Japan.

Her battles with Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Tanashi and Mashiro Chono were some of the most highly publicized matches in the world today.

Her match against Chono in the Tokyo Dome in front of 68,000 people drew more publicity than Andre "The Giant" vs. Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania.

Never before had anyone seen a woman do what Chyna was doing. Not only was she making history, she was breaking down hundred year old gender barriers in the sporting world. Quickly Chyna became a legend and one of wrestling's most wanted, and talked about superstars of all time.

In addition to becoming the only woman to hold number one contendership status for the IWGP Tag Team and World titles she also became a friend to the Inoki family and today is a frequent "guest of honor" at Mr. Inoki's IGF shows.

"He [Antoni Inoki] is a man who I say I was touch by greatness when he trained me and taught me a great amount of respect and confidence in myself, skill, knowledge, opportunity." Chyna told director/reporter Michael Moody.

In 2003 Chyna decided to hang up the wrestling boots for good, but that has not stopped her from making special guest appearances at several Inoki shows. In 2008 Chyna appeared in several of Antoni Inoki's IGF Show in non physical roles.

"I have the most love for him, he is the king and truly an amazing person and I will remember working with him for the rest of my life."

Chyna's acting career is currently being managed by Antoni Inoki's son, Mr. Simon Inoki of "Inoki Sports Management."
