- Wrestling Lists Presents The Life and Death of Chyna
Joanie Laurer's achievements in wrestling should never be taken lightly.
The first woman to enter a Royal Rumble match, the first woman to enter the king of the ring, the first woman to hold the WWF Intercontinental championship, 2 womens championship reigns and an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame along with Degeneration X, Chyna really was a trailblazer in professional wrestling, as cliched as the term now is.
Chyna's professional career, however, was deeply mixed in her personal life. While presenting herself as a strong, dominant woman on screen during her last days in WWE, inside, Chyna was hurting and breaking down. It wasnt until just 1 year before her death that she revealed the particular circumstances of her WWE departure.
One of the true big stars of the Attitude Era and an example of what can be achieved when we deviate from the standard, this video looks at the life and death of Chyna.
#documentary #wwe #wrestling
Finding out her own Mother and siblings didn't attend her memorial is unthinkable and can understand any anxiety and depression she was having...
Most normal people don’t do that without a reason...
@@Nizzle5150 and the only thing that could stop me from attending a loved ones memorial would be if they were a murderer or a child molester
she was a drug abuser.
China's drugs killed Chyna!
It wasn't a genuine memorial....it was a show put on by her ex-manager to make money. None of her friends attended either for a reason. He wasn't a good guy.
She didnt see her mother in the last 30 years of her life. She pushed her family away.
As far as I'm concerned, Chyna was well on her way to being the "female" Hulk Hogan. There was NOTHING like her on tv. The reality is starting off as a female "body guard" was a perfect entry and her ring appearances and persona could built her into almost a super hero type character. It's unfortunate this didn't pan out how it could have. She was greatness in the making and I am glad WWE Inducted her into the Hall.
Yeah. She would have been an amazing.
She was. She would have been a movie star like the Rock too!! I was thinking how Terminator 3 would have been better if she was the main villian in the movie instead of Kristanna Loken for T-X. To me she was like the female version of Arnold Schwarzenegger
James Ervin Berry true she was more like a female ultimate warrior
Kevin Smith that would have been nice she could have played wonder women.
Chyna looked like zena warrior princess
She's an absolute icon. I quit watching WWF when I was a kid in about '87 or so but I knew who Chyna was later, and liked to watch her and Triple H from time to time on TV when I was bored. She really stood out during that time.
I'm not surprised RVD was there at her funeral. Guy has always been a class act.
RIP Chyna
Greatest female wrestler ever
Facts
I like Trish Stratus
STEROIDS
@ivan , no steroids, that was all natural, I used to workout with Chyna back at Golds gym,she never touched the stuff, she was much better than they gave her credit for , I would never have been crazy enough to get in the ring with her , she had no fear , other than her own demons , her substance problems came towards the end of her career .
RIP China Best female wrestler 🤼♀️
I swear. Her death broke my heart & how she was treated up until the day she passed pisses me off & I know that haunts Hunter to this day.
This is tragic..the way she was just abandoned like that..and hardly anyone turned up to her funeral..she deserved far better than that..I guess they kept away because the way they neglected her during her life..R.I.P. Chyna!
R.I.P. 🙏❤️
@Bea in order for something to haunt you, then you have to have a conscience. He doesn’t. Paul and Stephanie we’re screwing around behind Chyna’s back. SMH.
@@mistyberrier103 Truth. Very True.
yep.that's true.....!
isn't that ironic.....Chyna didn't want people to know they were together so they didn't think she slept her way to the top...when HHH slept his way to the top.
I want to sleep my way to the top :(
AKA Bonking yoor way to the bank xxx
So how did he end up marrying a McMahon ? Jeez!!!
Triple H was already a multi time WWE Champion before him and Steph became a real life couple. He was already main eventing PPVs and all so I don't accept that when people say that. He was well on his way to being a star back to when HBK took him under his wing in DX. Triple H earned his spot
@@sx2ap I agree with you 100%. Everybody thinks just because he's married to Stephanie McMahon that it's the only reason why he was a star in the wrestling business. That is not true. He would have accomplished just as much with or without Stephanie McMahon. He might not have been the one to take over WWE after Vince McMahon retires but he still would have been one of the greatest and a legend in the business
At least RVD and Melina showed up to her funeral.
Ive met rvd hes a good guy he seemed legit caring to every fan he had i was so shy to ask him for his signature but i got a hug and he singed my picture and had a convo for a few mins with him out of every older wrestler's the hearts taker and him were the sweetest
@@rebeccamcguire2798 Thats a lonnnnnnng sentence Rebecca
@@KellyMichaelsTV dont really care you didnt have to read it . Nit picking about punctuation and other grammatical errors does not bother me . More important things in the world to nit pick over anyways .
@@KellyMichaelsTV hope your safe have a nice day.
@@rebeccamcguire2798 Sorry. Have a nice day also
I was obsessed with Chyna growing up, she was a great role model for a little tomboy in the 90’s!
She challenged everything a woman in the wwe....or RL for that matter, was
Heck yea!
I miss tomboys being a culturally acceptable thing. The 80's were pretty sexy. 😉😎
@@stockyphilb7663 I miss it too! I’m still a tomboy and in today’s world I now get asked if I’m a trans man. I want to get a shirt that says “I’m a tomboy.” That way no questions need to be asked. Well unless they are asking if I’m a lesbian but that never happens people can always tell. It must exude off of me. 😊
You're cute
10:30 It is heartbreaking to hear that WWE wasn't present at her memorial service, but neither were her mother or siblings. I guess if you're going to be a pioneer, you have to be willing to do it all alone.
It's because it was put on by her money hungry "manager". It was a phony service for him to make money off of.
Pioneer of what? Women taking steroids? Then doing porn
@@zerosaber257 pioneer of wwe
What are you the pioneer of? Pulling on your lil worm in the 3rd bedroom of your mom's house?
The fact that her family didn't attend her funeral says a lot about how she treated them. I'll just leave it at this because I don't think disrespecting the dead does anyone any favors
@@speedking7224 and yet your assumptions do just that
X-Pac came up with one of the best ideas ever with naming the women's battle royal after Chyna.
I legitimately loved Chyna. It's extremely rare for me to care about a celebrity the way I care about Chyna. Every time I hear about her passing, it's painful. When I was a kid watching her, I thought she was amazing. She made me think I could do it too. I don't think WWE ultimately realized what they had in her, and they gave/have given so many other wrestlers numerous chances that they didn't give to Joanie even though she didn't do the stuff they did. Playboy is still adult content, so I don't know what they were on about regarding the videos that she'd have never made had they not treated her so badly because of Hunter's ambition. Anyway, I so wish she'd had real friends to help her. She'd have been a great coach to female talent in AEW today. AEW's Jade said that she loves Chyna and sees herself in her, so it would have been amazing to see Chyna coach Jade. In any case, women like Chyna paved the way for the Jades and the Rhea Ripleys.
She Was A GREAT Woman Wrestler and THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE CHYNA 😭😭😭😭
MISS YOU CHYNA!!!
The Chyna memorial battle royal does have a good ring to it.
Has an amazing ring to it
Yes it does !!
Yea it does but they barely put her in the hall of fame because of her xxx movies
@@taydafranklin7800 M.
Agreed!
I remember being amazed how big and strong Chyna was when I was a kid. I found it totally beleivable that she could kick the ass of men!
She could not compete with men in a real fight.
@@T9RX3
Yeah she could. She went to the gym and was a body builder. And before her scene on the wrestling industry, she was a bouncer at bars and threw many a flabby drunken ass hat out. She definitely could kick your flabby ass as well as mine.
I don't know, she lost a boxing match to Joey butafuoco in celebrity boxing 🥊
Nicole bass was pretty beefy too and could probably kick men's ass too....if they didn't run away after getting a good look at her...
Renwoxing she was and is still my favorite wrestler of all time. Her body and confidence in the ring made me think that women can be strong and do whatever they want. I’ll miss her.
She was 1 of my best friends. Nobody knows the hell she went through. I will always love you my Chyna. I miss you so VERY much. 💔😭
What was chyna like in real life she's amazing I love her and totally agree wee screwed up poor girl love her ...💖💯🙏😭🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🥇🥇
You don't know her
@@dallassweeney5516 whatever
@@velvettears7759 u didn't answer my question ABT chyna why engage in fighting take it to the ring ladies moolah n Mae young lol
@@dallassweeney5516 yes she does
She reminds me of Xena. RIP 🙏
Me too
I used to watch Xena and hoped to see her on an episode someday.
I thought she looked like Xena too😊🥰🧡💪🗡
Over eh io pensavo che avesse interpretato lei Xens
I was in love with her whole image...Rip
Chyna was my favorite idol in WWF.. So sad to hear that she passed 😢 R. I. P BEAUTIFUL CHYNA ❤❤
I miss her
Chyna had one women’s championship reign and 3 intercontinental title reigns
Right!
yes hes was
2 ic title reigns
She was definitely my favorite WWF female wrestler.
Everybody used her
dam
Sad but true, ain't it? I still believe she had a severe hormonal imbalance.
she had a brain.
She saved my life. I really wish i have gotten the chance to explain to her how much she helped me throu a extremely low point in my life.
maple leafs thats so nice, i wish she could hear how important she was to you. She was extremely important in my life and my journey with my depression.
How? No disrespect brother if you don't want to tell but it was just a honest question
She was strong but, fragile at the same time. I had been watching her try to get back to work and was hoping she could be happy, then I heard she died. R.I.P Chyna!
I miss Chyna she was a lot more than just a wrestler. She was so talented in and outside the ring! Chyna is the real wonder woman!
Just seeing the expression on X-Pac's face made me start crying. I'm SO happy she finally got into the HOF, she's the one (and Mankind) who made me really start paying attention to the WWF. Thank you

@@floscienzo4901 Do you mean there are 7 people in DX? However many there are I'm happy they all got in!
These videos are great. Created with respect and taste.
Thanks for entertaining us Chyna. RIP. I’ll see you on the other side 😞
She look really good with blonde hair
I just read your comment, and then the pictures of her with blonde hair came up, and I totally agree! She was WOW.
Looks like she possibly had a nose job? Maybe not.. Either way she was gorgeous
@@guesswhat-chickenbutt nose and jaw job.
I think so too! It was a great look for her!
I think her black hair was stunning and more fitting personally....👧
Thanks to China women have a chance in the WWE. Before her women were just companions of the guys
Damn Chyna in NWO would’ve been epic
i know right
Hell yea
Her and macho man couldve done some great work together, and maybe miss Elizabeth too
Now I really wish that would have happened. It likely could have sent her on an entirely different trajectory. But who knows given that the WCW locker room was rife with drugs. Still, seems like her relationships were things that caused her to spiral, whether familial or romantic.
These mini documentaries are very well produced.=)
rip girl never forget chyna!!
尸
Another attitude era legend. Such a shame her latter years went that way.
The fact that Torrie Wilson got into the WWE Hall Of Fame is absolutely insane.
Not to mention Luna Vachane wasn’t in the hall of fame either , but a no talent , stripper named sable is..... let that sink in
@@B_HarTz The WWE HOF is about popularity over in ring skill. Torrie and Sable drew huge ratings.
@@dr.loomis4221 not entirely true thou
@@B_HarTz Sable's not in the Hall of Fame yet. Sunny is, though.
@@TherealRNOwwfpoohshe pooted!
It was mad when I heard about Chyna's passing as I had been a subscriber to her channel and watched her videos daily of her getting up early making shakes and exercise as well as the Vince Russo video interview. Then bam she was gone. Her story is one that is very very sad in the time after WWE and is not un common amongst other ex WWE stars. I really feel that WWE and the situation between her Hunter Steph and Waltman ultimately killed her. She has my respect forever that woman. R.i.p Joany ❤
I feel the exact same way. Her breakup with HHH took her out. I'll always believe that. Joanie died of a broken heart.
Yeah although she like being in the WWE I believe her real Destiny was when she was in China she was a school teacher and she enjoyed that thec slower pace of the city.
She was eating healthy living there close to the beach that was her at her best did you see her RUclips videos while she was in China I do believe she enjoyed being there unfortunately she was alone she need FRIEND SHIP and COMPASSION she ALSO needED some counseling with her MENTAL ISSUES and her DRUG ADDICTION so sad you got to always be on your toes and knowing that[ Satan]👺👹 PURPOSE IS ONLY to [steal kill and destroy] anyone that he can and if you are not aware of him he can AND HE WILL sneak up like a THIEF in the NIGHT you have to keep your self strong. And have on your Shield of armor your breastplate the righteousness and she was not aware of that she let her GUARD DOWN .
YOU HAVE TO always keep your guard up and watch out for Satan I'll be damned if he GETS ME I'll fight his ass off till the last breath I got and then when I take my last breath guess what THAT'S .
right I'll be at the right hand of the father 2 CORINTHIANS 5:,7 8 AMEN TO YOU Joanie Lowery do you rest in peace in the arms of your beloved father WHOM loved you from day one . We
Miss and love you DEARLY 🌼🌸💐🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷⚘🌾🌴🌿🌹🥀🌸🌺🌺🌸🌸
How did she promote it?
I loved Chyna.It just broke my heart that her life spiraled out of control.Im happy that she was finally inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame.Much Deserved.RIP Ninth Wonder of the World.You are sorely missed.
Crazy how far wrestling bios has come best RUclips channel hands down
Chyna was so hot. Sad she went down and out the way she did.
You like guys?
@@jobdoneright5934 hahahaha that's great. That dude Chyna is horrible haha
@@jobdoneright5934 Seems like ur the one that does lol..
Chyna was hot asf.. especially before the muscles
Chyna was very clearly a man... why are people so blind? Lol.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO A LIFE AND DEATH OF SENSATIONAL SHERRY!!! NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ON HER. SHE IS ALWAYS OVER LOOKED AND SHOULD BE REMEMBERED. THANKS
William Schutz I completely second this! Sherry is a huge part of many careers like Shawn Michaels.
Sherry was the bombshell before Chyna. You are right i miss Sherry she had some very memorable matches.
Yes thats a great shout.
He just uploaded one
Sensational Sherry was great as a manager in AWA.Sherry was Harlem Heat's manager in WCW.Sherry was great with Macho man Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels. Sherry also wrestled in the 1980's and 1990's.
I used to think when she first came she was a man but then as time went on and her surgeries she changed loved the pairing between her and Eddie Guerrero Latino heat RIP to both
@Razh 80 it's well known she had surgery on her jaw to make it look more feminine
RIP chyna! You were beautiful on the inside and the outside! You were a special gift to this world!
She was so gorgeous i really miss her
WWE been a joke since 2003
The wrestling business has always been a very dirty, not a good way to make a living so much shady garbage goes on
sylvia soooooooo true....
Primarily why Chyna felt the way she did.
Everything from Survivor Series 97 onward was a joke imo .
@treezy They were that way in the 80's & early 90's (Rock 'n Wrestling/Hulkamania/Golden Era & New Generation).
It's sad when somebody says I saw this coming and couldn't help it stays with you for the rest of your life man
I wonder if her arc would have been different had she gone to WCW instead..
I honestly think she might have been better off, let's face it WWE/WWF is toxic and yeah while it provided us with some great memories look what usually happens eventually to the stars from their brand. They fall by the wayside and are kicked to the curb or forgotten.
She would’ve been alive
She would still probably be able to do her work with Eddie Guerrero, which was my favorite one of her storylines, her and Eddie had a lot of chemistry
Think, she’d have probably still been alive, but not more famous, WCW would’ve had her be one of the obsolete members of the nWo.
@@parisbraxton2518 That is nothing but pure speculation. And as far as her being a big star like she became.....well WCW's track record with wasting talent speaks for itself.
was such a great person treated her fans like family you are so missed chyna
Doing a great job mate. Keep it up. Sad but good watch like the rest.
My gosh who knew this could make me cry
I used to watch some of her RUclips uploads before she sadly passed away, she was just a very sweet hearted but tough person who endured some really hard times throughout her short life.
I met her in Shreveport. She was incredibly nice and such a based person who was definitely dealt a band hand in life.
Rip Chyna 😢she is divas Championship.
Seeing this does restore some of the respect I once held for XPac, respect I lost when I heard he crapped in the bags and luggage of some of the Divas. RIP, Chyna
She was such a lost soul, but a beautiful, kind soul. 😢
It is so sad to see her fighting those inner demons may she r.i.p.joanie lauer 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
She was a absolutely amazing woman I miss watching her perform Greatest Female Wrestler 🖤💯💪🏻
If China had gone to WCW instead, she’d still be alive.
They would of made her the first woman to win a championship.
You Don't Know That.
Doubtful, since it's still run by the same people, they only are trying to portray it as two separate entities, they've changed names so many times that to the rest of the world, its so damn obvious.
She would have been world champ wt the big gold belt for sure .
Not really because she had personal issues
She was all about professional wrestling, & was spit out for her dedication.
Hey bro thanks for the Memories in the BIOS on all the wrestlers that I ever wanted to know about you are truly awesome I subscribe to your Channel keep them coming God bless you and thank you
She really was the best! They treated her poorly! Someone else wanted Tripple H, had to get rid of Chyna.
He wanted the money and to get it was to drop Chyna and get with Stephanie. He a sorry ass man and Stephanie knew they were together
I remember that Chyna was like living in Japan for awhile.
I think she was teaching English as a 2nd language why over there.
@@SpookySammy right she took a teaching job in Japan to get away from the toxic WWE/the drugs/and get out of the porn industry. Sadly I think that she never really did completely confront her demons with her drug addiction and depression and that was so much of what led to her suicide.
We now know that her time in Japan did a lot more harm than good
"like"
It was an act of guilt. Well, now Triple HHH and X-Pac have to live with it especially after they inducted Chyna into the WWE Hall of Fame.
May you rest in peace, Chyna!!!
Really good video and series. Keep up the good work. Really informative about so many good wrestlers
Sean Waltman is what triple h would be if he had any redeemable qualities whatsoever.
Chyna was really special to little girls who grew up during the Attitude Era. She was an idol symbolic of female strength and endurance.
Had a big crush on this lady. I was really sad about her passing.
She was so beautiful inside and out we miss you 😭
No
how about a life and death of sean o'haire?
another great video btw👍🙌
Bro you got the best wrestling videos I'm 33 and I don't even watch the new stuff but I love the old school
Omg how come i never knew she died,guess been living under a rock.
Me to so sad ,I will miss her.
RIP Chyna the 9th winder of the world! She truly stood toe to toe with the best and bested them. You will be missed. Mad respects to RVD!
RIP chyna U always be beautiful and wonderful women 🤘 respect
When she was there ..not felt her importants ... Know when she left..feels like someone very important one left ..not going to see that wonderful moments anymore... "she came, she silently win our hearts and then she left" ,love u my childhood heroine
I remember seeing her on the reality show and her ex came to visit and he was trying to over power her to leave but she didn't.
I love these videos and your channel. btw you said making lemons out of lemonade lol isn´t it the other way?
Sad to see these legends go😭 my era. With that said mental health and staying positive is very important priority number 1 money can't fix that
So under appreciated. Grew up watching her and miss her. RIP
Great video bro im loving the series ths far
As always another Ace upload im loving.
Great to see a channel grow very quickly ... got to know your secret
You make some great content, my man. Keep it up
Chyna was so strong and beautiful and had a great future ahead of her. She will forever be missed.
I WISHED DDP would have been able to seek her out and help her. He could’ve turned her life around and got her back to being a normal person and had get back into fitness and been yoga partners. That was one of her biggest passions. It was ALWAYS break my heart that she is gone and so was my desire to watch wrestling. She was the only reason I watched, after that. I didn’t care anymore. I hope you finally found the peace and happiness you longed for Joanie. We ALL love you!
I want to see the interview she did with Russo without having to hear Russo
DIDN'T HBK DO PLAYGIRL MAG?? JS!
2:04 lol that shop tan line is real.
Rip Chyna you were an inspiration
She is easily the most iconic female wrestler in WWE history. There won't be another like her.
Chyna is a Awesome Pro Wrestler!
She seemed like a very soft hearted, sweet, thoughtful, person. It’s the best example of don’t read a book by its cover. She LOOKED hard, but if you watched her outside of the wrestling character, she seemed very humble. Lonely too. Very sad.
I loved Chyna, but she was a one (and only) time Women's Campion and a two time Intercontinential Champion (some say three [Co-champion])
I love Stacey Kiebler and Torrie Wilson. But Chyna should have been inducted in the Hall of Fame! Chyna was strong, unstoppable, amazing tv performer. She putting her body on the line.. fighting guys left and right. She deserved every Recognition. It’s so sad and heart breaking how WWF treated her. When Chyna was released from WWF that’s when the women’s division wasn’t the same. If you asked me Chyna, The Rock, Undertaker, and Stone Cold was the reason WWF was so popular back in day. It touch my heart so much to see Chyna on TNA🥺❤️🙏🏾
What a tragic life, finally she RIP ☹️
All she wanted was to be inducted in the Hall of Fame when she was alive and was willing to reach out to WWE. Hate how they waited until it was too late and then they suddenly care. R.I.P to Chyna. Both brawn and beauty personified.
What a tragic life, finally Chyna RIP ☹️
I'm just crushed. I didn't even know she passed away. And the way her memorial service went is crushing. 🙁 Rest in peace Chyna.
The wrestling universe loved Chyna But Joan Laurer was also looking for the love she never got.
Most of us forget the present moment and life and despising it while always looking for the love we never get!!!
I love her
Thank you for putting together these well thought out videos. They are very well done, and pay tribute to some amazing wrestlers of my youth
Damn. I cannot believe only 400 people showed up to her funeral and non from WWE.. that's cold blooded
This is an excellent report. She was indeed a key part of the Attitude era.
Sad indeed the price of fame
IDC she was and will forever be my favorite female wrestler. I loved everything about her in the WWE. I started rewatching wrestling in the late 90s because of her. She intrigued me and made me believe she could beat any guy there. She was soooo exciting to watch! R.I.P. Joanie "Chyna" Laurer ❤❤❤❤
