“When Chyna was working for New Japan he was–Inoki was trying to set up a fight between her and Laila Ali…she was his protege. She was Inoki’s protege…she had some grappling skills, but not like that…she knew that it wasn’t a good idea?
When asked if Joanie would have had a shot against Laila, Sean responded:

“She went in there and fought Joey Buttafuoco in that celebrity boxing thing…she did great because he was out there trying to kick the living shit out of her…he was kind of a piece of sh*t…and she had very little training…ya she had no idea what she was doing, her manager talked her into it. You know what she got out of it? Being allowed to be a presenter at the Billboard Music Awards…ya it was bulls**t.”
