Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview with the father of the AEW tag-team The Gunn Club, which consists of Colten and Austin Gunn, reflected on the life and legacy of the late women's wrestling star known as "The Ninth Wonder of the World."
On having fond memories of working with her: "My best friend, she was amazing, she really was in all aspects of life. To this day it will still get me a little rocked up because she was that special to me, like she really was. When she first passed, I was so mad at her, like, it's just a, like that's just life ... My wife is one of the most special people on the planet, so she is awesome. And she knew [my relationship with Chyna] and never had a problem with it. It was more of a brother-sister thing."
On Chyna's long-term impact on the professional wrestling business: "I think towards the end of her run up there she kind of knew, 'Hey, I'm doing something special. I'm empowering the... know where I don't just have to have a match where somebody rips my clothes off.' I think what women's wrestling has become... I mean for God's sakes, they're main eventing everything ... I don't think she knew the total impact of what she did but she was definitely the main one to do it."
