Exclusive: Backstage Reaction to Chyna at TNA Sacrifice

By Nick Paglino

The word we’re getting from backstage sources in TNA is that everyone was thrilled with Joanie "Chyna" Laurer’s performance, both in front of the cameras and behind the scenes as well, at tonight’s Sacrifice PPV. "She’s an old pro, and I mean that in a very positive way," one TNA wrestler told WrestleZone exclusively this evening, "she handled herself very well, and made sure Karen (Jarrett) was going to be comfortable with everything they did in the ring together."

No word yet on Chyna’s continuing role with the company, but based on the reaction to her tonight at the pay per view, we bet she’ll be used further.

More on this story as it develops.
