WRESTLING: Rumor Killer On Chynas Alleged Injury

By Evan Humphries
Just to clear up rumors and answer questions which have being flooding my mailbox since Sundays Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, Chyna has suffered no real medical complaint following her match against Ivory at the Royal Rumble. If Chyna had really been diagnosed with a real career threatening injury, following the spike piledriver at the hands of the RTC as we have been lead to believe, the World Wrestling Federation would have under no circumstances sanctioned her match, especially on live pay-per-view in the interest of her long term health. The main reason behind Chyna once again being written out of WWF TV for a short stint is as there is no real creative direction for the Chyna persona in the WWF at present. However, with Chynas new book now on the verge of being released, the WWF felt it were important to keep her in the spotlight as much as possible so book sales don’t suffer or perish so they brought here back to appear on Sundays PPV in the hope book sales will go on unaffected by her absence. The injury angle has been set up to gain sympathy for her and so that she can be actively mentioned, with announcers giving updates on her status and occasional interviews instead of her whereabouts remaining unknown to the general public. The creative team continue to address Chynas creative direction in the WWF and as soon as they can write her into a more lucrative storyline she will once again been featured prominently on federation programming, instead of selling and carrying out the injury angle she is now lumbered with.
