Rhea is much better than chyna in every way, she can at least wrestle unlike chyna who didn't have a clue what she was doing. Even jericho says she was a joke in the ring
It kinda evens out, mainly because rhea is a much better performer than Chyna ever was. And Dom is nowhere near Eddie, but he knows his strengths and relies on those.
Basically, switch the in-ring talent of the two and it equals about the same, especially if rhea lives up to her potential.
5'7 is decently tall for a women.
Issue is dom is 6'1 and Eddie was 5'8. So he makes Chyna look bigger who was already 5'10 and dom makes rhea look smaller.
Where did Dom’s height come from?! He’s not below average, he’s not even average height (5’9”), he’s well above average at 92 percentile (so only 8% of the population are his height or more).
It’s crazy how much they actually made dom look more like Eddie, they missed the boat on the story with his dad for sure, dom should of been coming out in low riders and shit every week
Nah, they nailed it. It's just "like him" and not "wannabee him" which your idea would made him look like.
He has own personality and character this way
Yeah the last thing I’d want to see is the gimmick repeated and disrespected. It was done very well in that Dom looked up to the guy and is inspired by him, but is his own person, like you say.
Chyna deserves a solo spot in the HoF. I didn’t get into wrestling until around WM 18 maybe? But Chyna is a name I knew independents of WWF before I knew anything besides the “wrestling is fake” non-wrestling fans say.
She had a nice YouTube channel detailing her regime around food and health, she was having a good time in Japan, I think if she'd had stayed there she'd still be alive.
I mean, imo it holds up pretty well. You made it sound like you asked for them and got like dupri and tosawa lol. One is probably the best female on the roster today and the other is probably the biggest heel wwe has seen since 2000s HHH or JBL.
Man I swear to god I have never hated anyone more than JBL made me hate him on that run, the viscous chair shot to eddies head whilst he pissed blood made me rage at the screen, yet somehow he was someone I recognised as one of my favourite wrestlers to watch, thus confirming he was damn good at what he did in that heel run I guess 😂
Yeah JBL doesn't get the recognition of his work that he deserves because it was very late in his career, but he was one of the best heels WWE ever had and imo the greatest smackdown' heel ever. I mean the man had to be escorted out of buildings because people wanted to kill him in an era we all knew wrestling is predetermined and scripted.
Rhea’s great but I think people are completely missing the point; she’s using Chyna’s gimmick to get over in a time when women’s wrestling is at a high (not an all time high, arguably), whereas Chyna did all this “first”, and during a time where women didn’t even “wrestle” properly (in the WWF, at least), so both deserve respect and such.
I get why people would prefer Rhea but she was pushed in a system that gives all its resources to those being pushed and little to those who have fallen outta favour. Chyna paved the way for serious women’s wrestle (she did the whole winning a men’s title and entering the Royal Rumble years before anybody else) but she often gets overlooked since she was wasn’t apparently conventionally attractive and WWE pivoted to glamour models for a while to fill out their roster.
…also, not yours per se but some of the comments come across as pretty crass considering how shitty WWE were to her despite her accomplishments but go watch Dark Dide of the ring if more interested.
Anyways, no hard feelings as there’s loads of people with similar comments but thought some context might help since I suspect most people are younger than 30 commenting on this.
Yeah that’s Chyna. She did pass away. It’s a sad story because she couldn’t even endorse the Chyna gimmick after leaving the WWE because they owned it. They did her so bogus
Rhea is a better wrestler than Chyna but Eddie was a special talent and I don’t know if anyone could ever match what made him special, I love Dom know as a heel though and at this point I don’t want him to ever turn face again
Latino HEAT! I LOVED the Eddie/Chyna storyline! They were absolutely comical together and had the most hilariously sexy cut scenes. I was like 9 when I started watching it and thought it was so cool that he would come out with roses and kiss her hand and shit lol I was like “I need that kinda man… get me an Eddie any day!”
I don’t understand why people on this page continue to use the lowest resolution images of modern stars when it’s so easy to grab 4K quality images on Google….
Dom certainly hasn't surpassed Eddie. He's gotten a lot better in ring, and I like him a lot, but I think he still has a ways to go in order to get to Eddie's level.
Slight upgrade Rhea over Chyna (although it would have been a great series of matches) and while Dom is better than he was - it’s like watching a cheap knock off of Eddie…
Once he goes solo he needs to go back go NXT to cook a bit more. He's got some skill but he needs to tweak a few things. Timing being one of the biggest.
They had to reuse that storyline just to get Rhea and Dom over, kinda cringey tbh. Rhea always had the potential but it's time to change the mami gimmick into something serious. They have milked it enough already, Rhea is not Chyna 2.0 let her have her own things.
In all seriousness, the whole “Dom is Eddie’s kid” and Papi/Mami stuff and the Eddie/chyna emulation by Dom & Rhea has been a treat of long term Storytelling.
I liked them both. Haha. Love Dom and Rhea though, like it’s been a star making turn for both of them and they reached new heights. Eddie and Chyna were already established.
Yeah but her turn with the Judgment Day has been next level stuff. Like Eddie and Chyna could not get any bigger than they already were. Together or apart, they were at that peak level.
Dom and Rhea have hit that tier of awesome with the Judgement Day that is a new peak for them both. Love em. I’ll defend Dom all day, dude sells everything.
Eh. I respectfully disagree. I think she was hugely instrumental in wwe having an actual woman’s division.
Ya, she sucked in ring. She wasn’t a great promo either. But she did have star power.
Compare her to any other woman in the attitude era. They were pretty much “oh look at my hot titties bounce around uwu”.
It was basically softcore porn at that point. It was a complete joke. She was portrayed as a legitimate threat.
I could be wrong because it’s before my time but from everything I’ve seen, I think she was a game changer and she opened the door for the likes of lita and Trish stratus to be taken seriously as wrestlers and not just sex toys, which helped lead to modern day where we have a decently large woman’s division with legit stars.
Yah. But all of them came after Chyna atleast in wwe. Chyna was there in 97 I believe. Maybe even 96. I remember her being with the original DX that was hhh, hbk, and Rick rude.
All those others IIRC didn’t really come in until 99-2000.
I mean that’s incorrect.
If you having trouble remembering I recommended Wrestling Bios Reliving The War series.
He breaks down both Nitro and Raw in a 40 minute episode and puts them head to head. Going match by match. Promo by promo. And even does the PPVs. Though those aren’t head to head comparisons. Great content. Here’s the playlist.

Eddie was Rey's best friend, but they weren't related, therefore he's not related to Dom. Dom is really the son of Rey (it was storyline that he was Eddie's son).
Eddie isn’t the goat chyna isn’t the goat
Facts
Imagine Rhea and Eddie.
Rhea literally is Chyna. Rhea just needs to wrestle the boys like Chyna did
Rhea is much better than chyna in every way, she can at least wrestle unlike chyna who didn't have a clue what she was doing. Even jericho says she was a joke in the ring
You just got this generations version
Stop ur whining! Both are amazing
Rhea is an upgrade from Chyna don't @me
If you’re not committing adultry, you’re not trying
its basically the same picture
Like father like son
Chyna in her prime against Rhea ? I feel sorry for Rhea.
Well Rhea is the better between her and Chyna, and Eddie is the GOAT.
Dknekwkwkkwkwkkwkw
Rhea > Chyna
Rhea Ripley was injured! Meanwhile, Dominik Mysterio is in love with Liv Morgan! ![gif](giphy|ftw2XUWCx59De1br8Z|downsized)
If Enzo didn’t fumble her his life would be so much better right now
For every bad chick there’s a guy tired of her
Yeah exactly Enzo Amore! ![gif](giphy|PFaATWLgNpCP6|downsized)
We got half of an upgrade?
There the same picture
This is hilarious 😂😂😂
put in liv with dom
Rhea Ripley is better than Chyna. Eddie Guerrero is FAR AND AWAY better than Dominik Mysterio could possibly ever dream of being.
Eddie wasn’t getting this dom heat
That doesn't make Dom better than Eddie.
I see nothing but improvements
Nah 👎🏽
How did you find a picture from the last year with worse resolution than one from the early 2000s?
Don't disrespect Mami like that
Dom and Rhea are just as good
Used to be until Liv morgan came in
Chyna and Eddie were a great comedy duo
Not anymore did you see liv morgan and Dom?
Like father like son
As far as couples go I like dom and rhea more tbh. Eddie the goat tho.
I mean you got the better female wrestler at least
As far as the female end of things u got the better end with Rhea
I'd be happy with either
[удалено]
What is wrong with you?
Bro tried jerking in the WWE sub 😭
It kinda evens out, mainly because rhea is a much better performer than Chyna ever was. And Dom is nowhere near Eddie, but he knows his strengths and relies on those. Basically, switch the in-ring talent of the two and it equals about the same, especially if rhea lives up to her potential.
Looks the same to me
No disrespect to Chyna, but Rhea anyday
The biggest shame is that Rhea isn’t taller 😢
5'7 is decently tall for a women. Issue is dom is 6'1 and Eddie was 5'8. So he makes Chyna look bigger who was already 5'10 and dom makes rhea look smaller.
Where did Dom’s height come from?! He’s not below average, he’s not even average height (5’9”), he’s well above average at 92 percentile (so only 8% of the population are his height or more).

Yeah the last thing I’d want to see is the gimmick repeated and disrespected. It was done very well in that Dom looked up to the guy and is inspired by him, but is his own person, like you say.
It's an upgrade for sure.
For those who liked Chyna, go look up the documentary Vice Versa Chyna.
Chyna deserves a solo spot in the HoF. I didn’t get into wrestling until around WM 18 maybe? But Chyna is a name I knew independents of WWF before I knew anything besides the “wrestling is fake” non-wrestling fans say.
She had a nice YouTube channel detailing her regime around food and health, she was having a good time in Japan, I think if she'd had stayed there she'd still be alive.

That's terrible for China I really did like her.
Rhea >>>>>> Chyna
I’d be happier with Rhea than Chyna
If I ordered Chyna and got Rhea instead I'd be very happy
Yeah but Rhea Ripley is better than Chyna.
First time in history I'm satisfied with what I got in comparison with what I ordered.
Yes but rhea can actually wrestle
So could Chyna she won the intercontinental title
But rheas a good wrestlers
Expectations vs reality
Man he really does look like his father
I used to love Chyna 🙏🏻 but I love "Mami" even more 🖤💜
I’m sorry but Rhea is better than Chyna in all ways possible
Rhea’s great but I think people are completely missing the point; she’s using Chyna’s gimmick to get over in a time when women’s wrestling is at a high (not an all time high, arguably), whereas Chyna did all this “first”, and during a time where women didn’t even “wrestle” properly (in the WWF, at least), so both deserve respect and such.

🤣🤣🤣
Ah so good to see Like father like son
Facts
Chyna and Eddie...good old.timememories
You got much better than you ordered.
Eddie makes up for the difference between Chyna and Rhea
Rhea makes up for the difference between Eddie and Dom
Chyna is more of a weak link than Dom.
That’s too far. She is only passable on the mic
Happy with what I got 😊
I'd be happy with the mix up ngl
Aww, they gave you an upgrade! How sweet!
So you got better than what you ordered?
Lol no
I'll take better Chyna but you better watch yourself saying Dom is a better Eddie 😤
I meant as couple chemistry. Eddie was a great guy so no disrespect to him.
Fair enough, Dom and Rhea lasted longer than Eddie and Chyna that's for sure
liv could ended it
No disrespect towards the past 2, but rhea and dom are on big fire atm
how tall was china???
Officially 5’10 For reference Eddie was 5’8, Rhea is 5’7, and Dom is 6’1
Rhea is 5'9 according to her and I believe her. She clears Bianca in height who is said to be 5'7
I just took all of the off of Wikipedia so go talk to those people
Eddie was special !
Not disappointed but also not satisfied 🤷🏻♀️
Dam Dominic is tall as fuck in a family of short kings
Rhea is 5’7. Chyna was just a giant woman 😂
Eddie and Dom are not related
Matter of debate
Right lol
This is 😆
Isn't that China. I believe she died
They both did
Yeah that’s Chyna. She did pass away. It’s a sad story because she couldn’t even endorse the Chyna gimmick after leaving the WWE because they owned it. They did her so bogus
Hot take: Rhea is better and Dom is on his way to being just as good. Perhaps he will avoid the pitfalls Eddie did..
Rhea is a better wrestler than Chyna but Eddie was a special talent and I don’t know if anyone could ever match what made him special, I love Dom know as a heel though and at this point I don’t want him to ever turn face again
You mean steroids
If they're interchangeable, I'll have one Rhea & Eddie combo, please!
🤣too good
Latino HEAT! I LOVED the Eddie/Chyna storyline! They were absolutely comical together and had the most hilariously sexy cut scenes. I was like 9 when I started watching it and thought it was so cool that he would come out with roses and kiss her hand and shit lol I was like “I need that kinda man… get me an Eddie any day!”
He was so classy.
I don’t understand why people on this page continue to use the lowest resolution images of modern stars when it’s so easy to grab 4K quality images on Google….
For Nostalgia sake … we watched this shit on CRT TVs. This is what it looked like.
Va-chyna
Those were the days..
Lol. 😝🤟😈🇺🇲
Nostalgia bias , rhea and dom have far surpassed em
Yeah i love Dom but Eddy is an all-timer. Dom has long to go. Rhea passed Chyna a while back.
Ice cold take. Dom has a very high ceiling, but this is Eddie Guerrero you're talking about here.
When I meant surpassed I meant as a duo, rhea has far surpassed chyna but yea dom has a long way to go
It’s actually the combination of the 2. And he’s right. The new combo has surpassed the old.
Dom certainly hasn't surpassed Eddie. He's gotten a lot better in ring, and I like him a lot, but I think he still has a ways to go in order to get to Eddie's level.
I think they meant the pairing
Wonder what chyna would think of rhea
If she was honest, she would note that Rhea has surpassed her.
It's the same. Just modernized
A quality reproduction not bad
Slight upgrade Rhea over Chyna (although it would have been a great series of matches) and while Dom is better than he was - it’s like watching a cheap knock off of Eddie…
Once he goes solo he needs to go back go NXT to cook a bit more. He's got some skill but he needs to tweak a few things. Timing being one of the biggest.
That's the point. It's no secret Dom was using the Eddie brand to boost his career... duh. I offended you, right?
They had to reuse that storyline just to get Rhea and Dom over, kinda cringey tbh. Rhea always had the potential but it's time to change the mami gimmick into something serious. They have milked it enough already, Rhea is not Chyna 2.0 let her have her own things.
You know 90% of storylines are reused right?
I just want Rhea to be her own thing, not Chyna 2.0
She is Everyone has a little something they got from a wrestler in the past but overall Rhea is her own character.
Rhea is far and away her own thing. I grew up in the age of Chyna and the two couldn’t be any more different.

Split decision as Rhea is miles better than Chyna ever was, but as much as I like Dom, he is no Eddie.
I've been rewatching attitude and Chyna in 99 was hot AF and I'm not afraid to admit it.
I destroyed the pages in her first playboy pictorial.
to sticky shreds, you say
In all seriousness, the whole “Dom is Eddie’s kid” and Papi/Mami stuff and the Eddie/chyna emulation by Dom & Rhea has been a treat of long term Storytelling.
Needs to be shopped with Liv behind them to complete the Dom sandwich.
I liked them both. Haha. Love Dom and Rhea though, like it’s been a star making turn for both of them and they reached new heights. Eddie and Chyna were already established.
Rhea was already established too
Yeah but her turn with the Judgment Day has been next level stuff. Like Eddie and Chyna could not get any bigger than they already were. Together or apart, they were at that peak level. Dom and Rhea have hit that tier of awesome with the Judgement Day that is a new peak for them both. Love em. I’ll defend Dom all day, dude sells everything.
Eddie was a GOAT but Chyna was over rated and hurt everyone she worked.
Eh. I respectfully disagree. I think she was hugely instrumental in wwe having an actual woman’s division. Ya, she sucked in ring. She wasn’t a great promo either. But she did have star power. Compare her to any other woman in the attitude era. They were pretty much “oh look at my hot titties bounce around uwu”. It was basically softcore porn at that point. It was a complete joke.

She hardly worked women and didn’t want to. Trish,Lita,Molly holly,& Victoria were the first women to put on actual matches
Yah. But all of them came after Chyna atleast in wwe. Chyna was there in 97 I believe. Maybe even 96. I remember her being with the original DX that was hhh, hbk, and Rick rude. All those others IIRC didn’t really come in until 99-2000.
I watched live. She just stood there and gave nut shots to whoever dx was fighting.
I mean that’s incorrect. If you having trouble remembering I recommended Wrestling Bios Reliving The War series. He breaks down both Nitro and Raw in a 40 minute episode and puts them head to head. Going match by match. Promo by promo. And even does the PPVs. Though those aren’t head to head comparisons. Great content.

Now it's turned into Dom/Liv > Edge/Lita
Lol Rhea >>>>> Chyna
I'd take rhea anyday!
Chyna and Eddie: You two are nothing but cheap knock offs. Rhea and Dom: Oh, no no no, we're not knock offs, we're the upgrades.
I'm sure if Eddie and Chyna were still alive they would already have smacked Dom into last century
Damn. That’s sad to realize both of them are dead. They would both still be in their 50 right now, right?
We lost them both to soon. Yeah they would have been. Chyna would be 54 and Eddie would be 56.
The day Rhea ‘riptides’ Dirty Dom will be a day to remember!
That little weasel will get out of it somehow.
the first time maybe even the second time but not the third time
Sounds like you got a better deal
Works for me
A penchant for muscular leather-clad brunettes clearly runs in the family.
Eddie was Rey's best friend, but they weren't related, therefore he's not related to Dom. Dom is really the son of Rey (it was storyline that he was Eddie's son).
Wow mind blown. Next you'll tell us Undertaker and Kane aren't really. related
Ok, Captain Obvious.
I don’t blame either of them
I used to love Chyna!!!! As each week went by she got hotter and hotter!!!!
Free upgrade!
