"Chyna" Laurer had an interview on Wrestling News Live's Fall Out show. Check out the highlights of her comments below:
On
why she chose to work with Vivid Video: "Vivid is hot you know. I
didn't know anything about porn but even then I would see the calendars
in the book stores and they had the billboards and the girls
were plastered all over the place over Sunset Boulevard in front of the
clubs and they (the females on the billboards) looked gorgeous."
On
how well she has been treated since joining Vivid Video: "Beyond my
expectations, I am totally psyched and I'll tell you why; I haven't felt
like this since I was on top of my wrestling days right before my
departure as I had just done my book and I did playboy and it was a
total high of my life, I loved every day, and I woke up every to do all
that (it) was tremendous. I kinda have the carpet pulled out from
underneath me and It's been a long while and the problem died and I
guessed I might as well be as real as I can get and I've gone through a
lot of obstetrical and when this came up, I'd won my name back in 2007
after fighting for it for seven years and I hadn't do anything super big
with it since I got my name back you know? I had been doing little
movies here and there and a copy of reality shows but this, when this
opportunity came up, I was like "Yeah", I didn't have to think twice
about it. I was insecure for about two minutes and then I thought " Why
on earth would you not do this?". Everything I have done in my career, I
have jumped in with both feet and I've taken chances and risks and
something things have worked out, something thing's haven't but I have
never been afraid of judgment."
On how her TNA debut came about:
"It was a surprise to me as it was to you (the internet fans) because
basically I got a call from Vince Russo out of the blue and I was
expecting it to be an Australian beer company and then it was Vince
Russo and kinda basically overnight I was on an airplane….. So I get
this call from Vince Russo and I clearly wasn't expecting that you know
because basically since the time I left from WWE, I never physically
spoke to anybody expect from legally… so when this phone call came I was
like, "Woah" but things have been going really well for me over the
past year and the last couple of years I have really moved on and I'm
really healthy physically and I get this call and I was really happy to
hear from Vince (Russo) and he said he was thinking about me and the
angle (Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle) and would I be interested and I said
"well of course" and I think he was shocked because we were friends and
I really enjoyed working with him in WWF and he was like "I didn't know
how you were going to respond/react" and I was like "Its not the people
within the business I've had problems with, we all know the problems
and the reasons why" and I was happy to hear from someone and wondered
why it took so long for someone to call me. When I went there, I was
really psyched to see everybody and I don't think anybody expected me to
go and be that willing to jump back in so it was kinda a quick process
for everybody."
On her one appearance stay in TNA: "I really
didn't know what was going to happen, I basically went to go to talk to
them and I didn't expect to be on TV that night but you know, the Pay
Per View was right around the corner so I know that was the angle they
wanted to do so I really don't know what was going on behind the scenes.
I knew Vince Russo and Bruce Prichard were really in my corner like
wanting to make things happen so I don't know, maybe it never surfaced
as I never heard back after that but I consider it open basically."
On
Eric Bischoff's recent "Deer in the headlight" comments: "My friend
keeps me in [loop] so I've sort being listening to what people have been
saying and when I saw his (Eric's) comments I didn't know how to react
to it because I never expected it because it was so out of left field as
I had just gone to TNA, things went great and as far as I'm concerned
I've never had beef with Eric, I've never even worked with him, he was
very nice to me when I was there and I don't have a problem with anybody
and it was great so I just don't know where it came from, it was
strange. Maybe I looked like a deer in the headlights because I didn't
have the right lashes on? Or something, I don't know."
On keeping
the porn film a secret: "I didn't hear from anyone before anybody knew
about the movie because I had been keeping it a secret since I did the
movie last November and that's one of the reasons I looked so well and
why I feel so well and its not my obligation to go around telling people
everything I'm doing and its not a secret either so after the fact I
haven't talked to anybody in a while, its almost like he came up with a
reason because of the movie, who knows?"
On her "TNA missing the
boat" comment: "I didn't mean it in a negative way, I think they are
missing the boat because I think we can have a lot of fun and I could do
a lot of stuff and it didn't make sense to me to go do one thing then
kinda have it lingering out there….. I mean when I did playboy, it was
like the biggest issue ever because your combining the two so you have
wrestling, boobs beer and popcorn *laughs*."
On working the late
Eddie Guerrero: "Yeah it was really fun, I love the soap opera aspect so
for me it was the first time we got to do vignettes and the chemistry
was there and it was funny and he really taught me a lot in the ring
because when we worked together is was magic. I remember Eddie taught me
how to press (slam) people and the first time I pressed him, I got him
up and I was trying so hard and he jumped so hard as we were practicing
in the middle of the ring and I actually threw him out of the ring and
he landed on the floor!. He was awesome."
On WWE's Hall Of Fame:
"Well you know what? As far as relationships goes, I'm way over that you
know, it was a typical break up in the sense of losing someone you love
and the deceit and cheating yes but that happens to all of us. What was
the real heart breaker for me was that I really knew in my heart it
would blow over in a year or two or when we were able to pass the
relationship stage that everybody goes through in a break up but because
of the way business was done, I didn't know that it would be a decade
later and nobody has spoken to me I mean come on, I'm over the
relationship part, it was just bad business on their part if you ask
me."
On her future in the porn industry: "I'm hoping that's
coming my way, there is definitely talk of more and you know, I just
think in a short amount of time you see how your working together and I
would love to do more work with Vivid, they have treated me
exceptionally, its quite glamorous I have to say, it really has been, it
felt great and they treated me beyond fair and I need that, I'm on
board for sure so you know, we will keep you posted, I don't know what's
gonna happen but its looking good."
On if she would return to
WWE or TNA if they offered her a contract: "Absolutely; Based upon the
deal. I've come real far at this point in my life and I know what I want
and I know what I deserve so you know, if everything was good for this
point if my life, yeah of course….. I think I'm pretty reasonable; I
have done a lot of things throughout my career and worked hard for my
name and know my work ethic so you know I don't know, like loreal, I
guess I'm worth it but you know, you never know what's gonna happen
tomorrow."
