I'd like to believe the culture of the locker room is better and the overall company is better now so these kind of stories happen less and less.

The newer generation of talents would rather bond over video games than cocaine. It sounds silly, but wrestlers being big into video games in this day and age will hopefully lead to them living healthier and longer lives in the long run. I'm hoping the Attitude Era is the last of the drug-fueled wrestling time periods and that leads to less addictions and early deaths.

Just watched a video Vince Russo posted the day her death was announced. I'm going to tell it like it is. Vince Russo is human garbage. I always thought he was just an annoying hack writer, but now I actually have real hatred for the slimy Long Island prick. A year ago he was outright denying that Chyna ever had any kind of drug or alcohol problems. And while making that claim, he did the infamous webcam interview with her where she accused HHH of beating her, which he used to make money for his stupid "Pyro and Ballyhoo" site. When he first posted it, you had to be a paying subscriber to his site to see it. Now he's claiming he knew at the time of the interview that she was in a bad place with drugs and all. Such a bad place that he was actively worried about her turning up dead. So what did he do, knowing what a bad state she was in? He shoved a microphone in her face, lied publicly about her substance abuse issues, and exploited her situation to pimp his shitty website and make money for himself. The worst part of the video is when he says "Chyna's spirit and God are speaking through me" when he outright blames HHH and Stephanie for her death. What a sack of shit. That's absolutely indefensible.

As a Long Islander, I apologize to the world on behalf of Long Island for having spawned this asshole.

He hates Chyna as far as I know. When he did The Ho Bag on YouShoot, he picked the word "c**t" to describe her. Great, groundbreaking, ahead-of-his-time wrestler. Horrible human being. THey didn't have a good relationship. X-Pac even said in his youshoot he wishes no ill will towards her, but she got him into a lot of lies that she would tell. But X-Pac also admitted in the same interview how many demons he had and how when WWE paid for his rehab he stayed longer out of his own pocket to help come to terms with a lot of his issues

Quite telling that X-Pac has not said a word as far as I know since this news came to light. He's a pretty active tweeter and has not said a word in days. Honestly, I'm just hoping Nash is near Whaltman right now. No telling how he'll take this

PWI confirmed as well that they're doing a video to Chyna on Raw tonight.

I didn't watch the video, but I did listen to Russo's podcast today. I thought it was pretty powerful. Full disclosure: I've recently turned into a Russo defender because I think he takes a lot of crap undeservedly. I thought his "tribute" was heartfelt and honest, but knew it would spawn a bunch of backlash at the same time. I admire Russo at least for sticking his neck out there and sharing how he feels.

It was nice that they mentioned Chyna and put together a tribute. There were too many tweets and not enough footage of her working in my opinion. I'm just glad WWE acknowledged her contributions.

Much as I do not care for Russo in the least, I think he was 100% sincere about Chyna. From I've heard they were close.
He's still a big jerk though.

I would guess that most of their footage was her against guys which they cannot show on RAW now what with their various sponsor contracts and stuff. They were pushing her stuff on WWE.com pretty good last I checked. Other than the Mark Henry bit.

I was glad she actually got a video tribute (even as people have said, it was mostly tweets). She may have been a pain in the arse for a lot of people and her post-WWE career is what it is but regardless of that she was a pretty big part of the history of the company and deserved more than just a graphic at the beginning of the show.
