TMZ are reporting this too, along with saying she's on a verbal contract and a very short leash. If she comes in all washed up and crappy then I'll be unhappy, but if she works well and does everything she's supposed to then it should be ok. I like seeing people turn themselves around, especially in wrestling, where it's so rare.

Agreed, I too hope things work out for her and that she can control her personal demons. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

while i think it is stupid to bring her in, I'm all for second chances and if she goes out there and give a 110% I won't be mad. But if she goes out there just collect an easy pay check, then I will make fun of her and TNA

I know she was big in the Attitude era and all that but this
is some pretty big hyperbole. Really, EVER?

I think her site could rival Cracked for comedic content. First thing I noticed on the website. I doubt she was getting inducted next year. (Merely my own opinion) I also doubt Vince even cared. Kharma's debut is without a doubt the hottest diva angle in YEARS, possibly ever. Chyna/Angle vs Jeff/Karen is a ridiculous storyline that will never end. Vince is not losing sleep.

No. Chyna as IC champ and the Mickie/Trish storyline are still the gold standard concerning female storylines. Kharma's debut so far has been the same stuff they've done a million times over with big men, only now its with a big woman.

Were you giving a crap about the Divas division before Kharma debuted? I wasn't.

I still don't give a crap about the Divas division. She's come out twice and smashed two divas with the same move and it remains to be seen where they're going with it. It's interesting, but I don't think it deserves to even be considered anything of importance yet. We all remember how Nexus turned out.

I'm talking about right now at this moment, she is a big deal in the Divas division. You may have no interest in it, but it was a big time debut and it has a lot of people talking (in a positive way). Chyna's debut is not something Vince gives a crap about or will have a lot of people talking anyway. (At least in a positive way)

(At least in a positive way) I still think her TNA debut was better, and more impactful (no pun intended) for the ages. Lets face facts without her TNA run nobody in the E would even know who she is, or would have pushed for her to join their company.

Jason Powell at dotnet says this was a last minute decision because they decided that Isis was just too green to work in this angle. No explanation as to why they chose Chyna of all f***ing people to replace her He should have picked Orlando and we could have had our first openly gay serious storyline ever. I don't think any gay storyline could be serious with Orlando Jordan involved, not with his current character anyway.

And without the WWE, half the TNA roster would be irrelevant, name wise. I don't see the point in that argument.

And without the WWE, half the TNA roster would be irrelevant, name wise. I don't see the point in that argument. Okay, I don't mean to be a jerk but, I'll spell it out for you than. Between 2007 and 2009 TNA booked a women wrestling division that was not about looks, but rather about inring work and diverse characters. Kong was the main attraction of said division. Both Steve Austin and JR were exposed to Kong's character and work via her TNA stint within that unique environment. Both Steve Austin and JR were later instrumental in bringing Kong into the WWE. No stint of Kong in TNA equals no "Kharama" in WWE. My arugment is based on simple cause & effect, nothing complicated, convoluted or incorrect about it. The causal chain is clear and easy to follow.

Mick's looking good, but that silver shirt doesn't do anything for his upper body
