On a recent edition of the ‘Keepin’ It 100’ podcast, nWo Veteran Konnan spoke about Eddie Guerrero’s memorable storyline with Chyna from the year 2000, and stated that Eddie originally did not want to be paired with the 9th Wonder of the World.
Here’s what Konnan had to say about Chyna:
“She’s the original Mami. And Eddie didn’t want to do that gimmick with her, because he thought he was playing second fiddle to her. And I was like ‘Bro, just show them you can do this and they’ll use you for everything else’.”
The pairing of Eddie and Chyna was a revelation that took the wrestling world by storm. Their partnership was not built on the typical romantic or villainous alliances seen in wrestling. Instead, it was a bond formed out of mutual respect and admiration for each other’s talents. Together, they represented a unique blend of strength, agility, and charisma that was unparalleled in the WWF at the time.
Their partnership gave rise to memorable moments that fans still cherish today. Eddie, with his “Lie, Cheat, and Steal” mantra, would often use his cunning tactics to help Chyna secure victories, and in return, Chyna’s overwhelming power would come to Eddie’s aid when he found himself in dire straits. Their teamwork inside the ring was a spectacle to behold, with the contrast of Chyna’s brute strength and Eddie’s technical finesse creating a perfect synergy.
The chemistry between Eddie and Chyna extended beyond the ring as well. Their backstage segments and interviews were filled with humor, showcasing their playful banter and camaraderie. This added an extra layer of entertainment to their partnership, making them a beloved duo both inside and outside the squared circle.
The pairing of Eddie Guerrero and Chyna in the WWF in 2000 remains a testament to the era’s creativity and willingness to push boundaries. It was a time when wrestling was at its most unpredictable and when two incredibly talented individuals, regardless of gender or background, could come together to create magic inside the ring.
Eddie Guerrero and Chyna’s unique partnership will forever be remembered as a shining example of the magic that professional wrestling can create when it dares to be different.
