DATE: November 1999
Last weekend's No Mercy Pay-Per-View
brought us many surprises and thrills, and it
certainly changed the career paths of more than
a few superstars. The Hardys not only won Terri
Runnels' services, but also the accolades of the
fans, even some of those who aren't as
interested in the traditional in-ring action. Val
Venis pulled off perhaps the biggest win of his
career in defeating Mankind, solidifying himself
as the fastest up and coming superstar in the
World Wrestling Federation. Perhaps the
biggest career advancement, however, was that
of the current Intercontinental Champion, Chyna.
Chyna was absolutely jubilant after capturing
her first Federation gold at No Mercy. She had
just endured a brutal Good Housekeeping
Match and had overcome the greatest
challenge of her career. Things were certainly
looking up for the first-ever female
Intercontinental Champion. The next night on
RAW, Chyna shocked the world by coming out
to ringside with none other than Miss Kitty in
tow. Kitty did not look the same as we are
accustomed to seeing her. She instead wore a
leather outfit and long, black hair like Chyna.
Obviously, Kitty has chosen to take her career
in a new direction. She's gone from the innocent
blonde bombshell to the seductive,
no-nonsense, leather-clad and raven-haired
vixen.
She's got muscle in front of her now, and it's
female muscle to boot. It's nice to see Kitty
taking up a stand with another woman after
months of helplessly watching other members of
her sex get pounded by a ruthless male.
Needless to say, Kitty looked extraordinary.
After getting a glimpse of Miss Kitty, one would
probably think that no one could outdo the way
she looked that night. However, in my opinion,
she was overshadowed by the very woman
whom she escorted to the ring area. I thought
that Chyna looked absolutely stunning. All the
other Federation "divas" combined couldn't
have looked more spectacular than the Ninth
Wonder of the World.
In addition to her stunning looks, Chyna exuded
more confidence than ever before on the mic.
When she issued an open challenge to
absolutely anyone in the backstage area, I truly
believed that she felt she could kick the crap out
of any man in the Federation, even someone
the size of Viscera or the Big Show.
Chyna certainly proved herself big time at No
Mercy, and it's my firm belief that each and
every man in the Federation who has designs
on taking away her Intercontinental belt might
want to put their desires on the backburner. The
Ninth Wonder of the World is a force to be
reckoned with, and I think that she might end up
holding onto the gold for much longer than most
people think she will. However, only time will
tell…
