Broadly Publish Special Look at Chyna’s Final Days
Broadly have recently published an exclusive feature on Chyna and the year leading up to her untimely death, aged only 46. The story focuses on her life, both inside and out of the ring, and whether fans will remember her as a groundbreaking athlete of the Attitude Era or as simply another tragic reality TV star.
Broadly’s Mitchell Sunderland spoke with many of Chyna’s closest friends, family and former business partners in an attempt to get a complete look at Chyna’s last year of life, including exclusively revealed that the WWE offered Chyna rehab before her death but that her business partner Anthony Anzaldo declined the offer, something which went unreported at the time. Below is a short snippet of Broadlys’ Wrestling with Demons: The Story of Chyna’s Final Days:

[documentary filmmaker Erik Angra’s] vision for a real-life version of The Wrestler, a comeback film about a professional wrestler who refuses to retire despite his age, had descended into the latest mess on Chyna’s long resume of personal disasters. Concerned about his documentary subject’s health, Angra decided to seek help for her. He called Waltman, the wrestler known as X-Pac who had a turbulent relationship with Chyna in the 2000s, and he spoke to [Paul Levesque, aka wrestler Triple H]. According to Angra, Levesque got the WWE together to figure out a plan.
 
In October of 2015, Angra says the WWE contacted him, offering to pay for Chyna’s rehab. He pitched the idea to Anzaldo, making clear he would not film her time in a clinic. Anzaldo turned him down. “He said she would never go, which might have been true because she was very paranoid about the WWE,” Angra says. “She thought they would kidnap her and put her in the woods, and she would never come back. I don’t know if [Anzaldo] told her about [the offer from the WWE], but he basically told me there wasn’t time on the schedule for it and they had to do [a filming of an episode of the reality TV show] Botched.”
