- Chyna was a pioneer in wrestling, providing WWE with a female wrestler that could believably go toe to toe with the male superstars of the then WWF like nobody before or since. But for Chyna, real name Joanie Laurer, her life was filled with unhappiness, and she would never truly recover from her time in the wrestling business. In this wrestling documentary we explore the tragic life of Chyna.

I thought at the time moolah had a strong hold on women's wrestling 🤼♂️? How did China get around this?? I'm confused
I am and will always be a very huge fan of her.and she will be my all time favorite,always loved her look and style.she is missed so much.spread your wings girl,love love love Chyna.
Chyna was not a female. She/he was a male to female transgender
Again, Chyna was not a woman. She/he/it was a man, a male to female transgender.
Chyna didn't want children because she can't have children. Stephany McMahon is also another male to female transgender and that is why that marriage didn't work.
I was actually a fan of Chyna when I was a kid, but only as an adult did I understand how important and awesome she was. This video hit hard, because whenever I hear news about her, I miss her. RIP Chyna, hopefully now you will get to rest.
So you mean you liked men's testicles to be broken by chyna when you was a kid😂
I liked her as a teenage girl. As a 40 year old woman, I see that overall she was not that good of a wrestler and her body was just as fake as Trish and sable, just in a different way.
Women cannot naturally get musculature like that. She loaded on steroids.
I can prove this by pointing out her cooter. That thing wasn't natural. That was from steroid use. That's a side effect of women taking large doses of T.
Also one CORN scene, she had roid rash on her booty.
Did you know her?
@@dr.barrycohn5461yes I did!!
@@dr.barrycohn5461I don't think they personally knew her.
I was part of The Godfathers entourage and met Joanie/ Chyna, she was the sweetest soft spoken woman. I never expected her to be such a lovely person. My heart broke when she died and still have a problem with the narrative that the industry pushed regarding her death.
So you were one of the Hoes…
She wasnt so sweet when she cheated on her boyfriend, the one who supported her while she got famous, with Hunter. Women are all okay with supporting Bezos' divorce money for his wife, or Izzy's gf deserving money for supporting his start. But when roles are reversed equal rights go out the window.
@@Under-Kaoz they were not married. He did not put a ring on it. He rode the ride till it stopped. I invested in a couple of relationships for years of my time, money and efforts, but we weren't married yet so they were able to move on without any benefit to myself out of all of it, but we push forward right? I learned to find someone who has Jesus in their everyday lives and those things don't happen.
@@mistysantos7571 So he didnt put a ring on it fast enough so it was ok for her to cheat? Spoken like a true "ho" of The Godfather
@@scitizenkane1 That is not what I meant, it's not right what she did, and realistically nobody should be sleeping around, but God is her judge on that. It wasn't adultery though.
They did Chyna dirty. It breaks my heart how she was treated😢.
100%
I totally agree. Really sad
not sure who her boyfriend was after she left the company, said she broke up 6 months before her death, but nothing after that.
I absolutely agree.
Na she did herself dirty
Chyna, the perfect mix of beauty and power. RIP.
She looks like a damn man, you raging bundle of sticks
She absolutely deserves to be in the WWE (Always WWF to me) Hall of Fame.
Point being...she deserves to be in as Chyna & not just as a member of DX
@@munkustrap2 Stephanie and Paul won't allow it because of their affair when Paul was dating Chyna. They both are pieces of crap just like Vince
Wwf can screw the.selves. vince can cry all he wants on camera.
@@jimbo1959
The WWE Hall of Fame is a hall of fame which honors professional wrestlers and professional wrestling personalities maintained by WWE. Originally known as the "WWF Hall of Fame", it was created in 1993 when André the Giant was posthumously inducted with a video package as the sole inductee that year.
I say the WWF too 😊
Man.. the people closest to her saying she was the sweetest person ever! She was apart of making that era of the WWF one of the best era’s ever and they dogged her! Rest in peace Chyna🙏🏽💔
Ever watched true crime docs? They always describe dead friends/family as absolute saints. It's cringy.
She had busted lots of testicles in wwf😂😂
I knew Joanie personally and she was too good for this world. She was extremely sweet and too dang nice! But she suffered from depression. That is all I will say. I pray her soul has found peace now. Such a beautiful woman
that's all you have to say ! I fully understand the nightmare that follows it, past 4 years not one day , not one !! That i haven't thought about ending it !! and yet here i still sit and i hate myself more for not having the balls to do it !! It really is just a trainwreck in ones mind it is. just from my personal experience I don't blame anyone for taking there life over depression .dont be mad at loved ones that have be happy they are not suffering anymore, im sorry that may be wrong i dont know im just being honest , that D word came strait from Hell. sorry i see that word i cant help but comment, think does help little
How does one find the strength to overcome the pattern of betrayal that Chyna so clearly experienced from childhood with her parents to Triple H and WWE family that offered the security and stability that saw her thrive only to be betrayed again by the closet people. That would make any person question and doubt themselves. That's why it's so important to learn and to heal with therapy. Connect with yourself.
@@brianpinion5844 You've fallen victim to weak mentality and what you haven't yet figured out is that your only ob in life is to continue to survive and those who understand this best figure out how to THRIVE, and the best way to realize that life is indeed a GIFT and NOT this weight to bear on your shoulders is to realize you create all the scenarios within your own head by dwelling and taking pleasure in entertaining negative thoughts.
Just imagine if you placed as much emphasis on good, positive thoughts!
It's just as easy to do that as it is to do what you've been doing. One should never think about ending one's own life because all you're doing is wasting not just your time, but EVERYONE else in your life who is deeply invested IN YOU! THINK about that!…
No one NEEDS to be a part of your life. They CHOOSE to be so because you affect them in such a way they like and love you. Quit WASTING precious time doing nothing good, and START LIVING! Look at all the brighter things in life. I can assure you they far FAR outweigh the negative.
I tell couples all the time, especially newlyweds to pay attention to how 85% of their time together things are fantastic and all is great, but WHEN a dumb little insignificant issue arises, it is BLOWN UP and EXAGGERATED and that one little moment BECOMES a huge deal FOR NO GOOD REASON. I challenge people to THINK… Why don't they place as much emphasis and make as big a deal of all the positive things in their lives as they do on the FEW small negative things? They always pause as they ponder it in their heads and it hits them.
This is no different. There is bad or negative in almost everything in this life. but you have the power to choose to embrace the positive just as you've embraced whatever (I'm sure) trivial not so positive things. And if you do or have done drugs, those cause patterned depression imbalances that subside while you're using, but when you're coming off them and the anxiety builds from the physical effects of withdrawal, the immediate fix is to do more of that crap, so the cycle is never ending.
Hope my words help you in some way. Today is just another day WAITING for you to notice many good and positive things around you!
Brian Pinion…..I’m right there with you buddy. Some day I’ll be strong enough to do it. I’m waiting for my son to get a little older so he can handle me no longer being around. But I understand your pain. It’s my biggest problem….the pain and the misery.
TheINQbs……You have no idea what people go through. Telling someone that they cause their own pain with negative thoughts is ludicrous. I used to have good, positive thoughts but life events took over. No matter how positive I was…and I was very positive at one time…..it made no difference at all in my life….none. One failure after the next and it’s obvious that the writing is on the wall……end it. There is no reason to stay alive just for the religious people in the world. They have no clue as to the misery of getting up every day knowing that your life will always suck. I have no way out. No amount of positivity is going to change anything for me. It’s not your life. You have no right to tell someone what to do with their life. Especially ragging on someone who wants to end it….as if you’re some perfect human being or your god. That’s it….you must think that you’re god.
I met Chyna a few days before she passed. She was awesome. Though she may have had her demons, she didn't let that affect the way she treated her fans.
I feel like she was a good soul but a lost soul. Some people just destroyed her. It’s so sad. Rest in peace Chyna 😢
She left her husband, who loved her, so she could wrestle men professionally. That’s not the greatest soul in my book. She got what she asked for.
@@laurenurban3942 so, you fall out of love, leave ur spouse and you deserve misery... you are sick
@@laurenurban3942she deserved to suffer and die young because she left her husband? Are you OK?
@@laurenurban3942women can leave their husbands if they're not happy with them. It doesn't make them a bad person. Explain the logic
@@ShsjierShe wasnt unhappy, she wss beyond happy. Women just always leave their man if they become more successful. Its extremely pathetic then you women always make excuses for the bad women.
A force of nature. I first saw her around 1996 when WWE was still shown on Sky Sports. Treated absolutely atrociously. Rest easy, Chyna. *RIP*
She chose it. Like any job…..sometimes it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Its karma, she dumped her boyfriend when she made it big. Funny how women always dump their men when they make it but men take their women with them.
No, she was a force of chemical manipulation with steroids. Had she behaved as a woman and never tried to be a man, she may have been alive today.
@@Under-Kaoz
Sure, no man has ever decided to dump his woman for someone else. 😂
@JSabh
There have been tomboys and tough girls for a long time. Some find a good path. Life is random. You can't blame a tragedy on lame social roles. Plenty of women live traditional lives and end badly (suicide, murder, overdose, etc.).
Chyna was such a kind soul. She was respectful and caring. Seeing her in interviews and in shows where she got to just be herself was awesome.
She had a huge heart and I certainly miss seeing her on TV. R.I.P. Chyna ❤️
No she wasn't, she left her boyfriend as soon as became famous. That's the worst type of person. Then her guilt got to her and she spiraled into drugs and porn.
Thanks for telling Joanie's story and treating it with respect.
Thanks for watching.
This poor woman had the deck stacked against her from the jump. It's just so sad because if she didn't have the issues she did, and didn't get tied to a bunch of people who have a track record of screwing over the people they call "friends," it might have been a lot different. She had so much athletic talent and natural ability she really could have been something even more special than she was in her prime. And the drugs will ALWAYS get you in the end. Great video, man. Thanks for sharing with us!
Theres always a dark side to substance abuse. Stephanie put her out of wrestling and its a shame because thats what she knew best. Cant believe vince nor anyone had the balls to stand up for her when she had their backs. Just sad how it ended
But she too shat on her boyfriend n jumped on H's dick on site!
My life start was 100x worse than hers and I never had any chances or opportunities come my way yet I never got hooked on drugs or alcohol and I'm 58 years of age.
She was just weak and spoiled by money...smh

@@SUGAR_XYLER boohoo. Everyone copes differently. You have no idea what her childhood was like and WHY she turned to drugs so young, and never opted to see her mother again. The fact that you are so self-centered tells me people have a hard time having any empathy for you.
@@SUGAR_XYLER but based on your comment, you're not very mature despite being old. work on yourself
I always thought her in-ring skills were lacking, but those could’ve improved. She was just waaaay ahead of her time. She debuted at a time when no one took women’s wrestling seriously (in America, anyway). Imagine if she debuted in WWE or AEW now - she’d be set for life.
*This is the most respectful and genuine video I have ever seen on the beautiful Chyna. Well done
What is China's real name
Need Help!??
No wonder I didn't know she passed, she DID completely disappear! She was my favorite number 1 female wrestler.😢 Rest Easy Chyna unfortunately peace is only found in our grave.
Damn that last part was heavy! You right though. RIP Chyna 🕊
I absolutely LOVED Chyna. I started lifting weights in high school because of her, and I had to fight to do that. (I’m a woman btw) This month, I will work my first WWE event, and as I build the show, and stand there ringside during the action, I know that I will think of her. She was the first woman I had ever seen go toe to toe with a man, and I wanted to be strong enough to do the same.
Wow!!! Congrats, so ur gonna be a WWE ⭐ now
Congratulations but no woman could go toe to toe with a man
@@adamirishconundrum851 ….couldn’t resist being a jerk could ya?
It's not being a jerk if it is the truth. I give and take constructive criticism.
@@adamirishconundrum851 I know a few women that would slaughter you haha
Chyna was a legend. One of the few female wrestlers i genuinely believed could defeat the men if she wrestled them.
Its sad how tragic how real life outside of wrestling became.
Even more annoying was how WWE treated her and how long it took to get her in the Hall of Fame, when people who have done far worse were inducted faster.
Right, folks who have done nothing for the wrestling business like Drew carry and snoop dogg
@@patrickjames3148 At least they didn't do porn
@@Urvy1A That's a joke right? Hulk Hogan did it, Sunny did it (and killed somebody) X-Pac did it with Chyna, Mike Tyson raped a 18 year old girl, there was all the playboy centerfolds(yes people actually wacked it to magazines, it was porn) Shawn Micheals playgirl centerfold, Snoop Dogg besides being on trial for murder has been sued twice for S.A. and of course Vinny-Mac and Trump's sexual history of paying for sex and accusations of rape. And that's just of the top of my head. It would get even darker if I used Google or read some books on this.
@@Urvy1A
What's your point?
Doing porn is the least of WWE's concerns.
Ric Flair has done all kinds of shit, Hogan has done all kinds of shit, Steve Austin was charged with beating his wife... I could go on and on.
Chyna deserves to be in the HoF and Triple H never had any business
(nor did anybody else)
for keeping her out. It was all BS.
@@Urvy1A Sunny, a WWE Hall of Famer, has a porn clip up. Oh, and so does X-Pac. Your argument is invalid.
I loved Chyna! I'm currently rewatching the Attitude Era, and she was stiff at first but by the time her IC championship reign came she was doing amazing in-ring work and her personality has blossomed too! Just wish they would've given her AT LEAST a brief run as the WWF Champion. She deserved it! Rest in so much love Chyna! I just wish you could've seen more of those who loved you instead of those who didn't.
I was fortunate to have met her once back in 2000 at the peak of her career and I was able to communicate with her from 2015 until her untimely demise back in 2016. She was always willing to help me with great words of advice and we even talked about her willingness to help me with my acting career and even moving to California and have her managing my acting career etc, etc. I wish we could have materialized those plans. RIP
Man she was only in Attitude for short time, but left a life time of memories for fans in that generation. Easily the toughest women in wrestling history. RIP Chyna
Rest easy Chyna your no longer in pain 😔🕊️
You're *
Chyna is a legend. Paved the way for women to be actual wrestlers taken seriously. A pioneer in her own right
I didn't know her whole story. This is incredibly sad. RIP Joanie.
Sad Some sell themselves for the fleeting pursuit of fame and money
I like that you actually posted that your perspective is different after watching something, more mentally mature than most ppl are online
Its karma, she dumped her boyfriend when she made it big. Funny how women always dump their men when they make it but men take their women with them.
@@Under-KaozIt's karma that she died because she dumped her boyfriend? Are you feeling okay?
@@Maldracai Yeah, she screwed him over majorly. Funny how when women do the same thing as men, thats usually considered morally reprehensible, its always okay then. Always equity, never real equality. Extremely pathetic.
I just watched the A&E biography. Hers is such a sad story. One thing I noticed though - how her sister said she probably had mental issues she didn't get taken care of.
That's so often what families of someone who goes down a wrong path say. Recently Nick Carter said it about Aaron. It's a simplification and justification for those closest to the person for not helping them. It's almost a cop out in a way, although that sounds cruel.
Chyna wasn't mentally ill. She just shot up, then HHH left her, then she kinda tried to compensate for that by demanding more than she was worth and left to stand her ground and out of pride...and then her fall began, because she was emotional and fragile at her core. And she just never properly repaired herself, but she cried and felt right when Mick for example hugged her.
So this is to anyone who has someone close in a similar situation - if you're thinking "he/she has mental issues she needs taken care of", no, they need understanding, love and support. And no judgment. From someone close they know is kind. Get that for them ASAP if you can.
If an adult doesn't want your help there's nothing you can do about it, you obviously know nothing about the subject
It’s really heart breaking how many lives are ruined substance abuse.
Her trust issues and being betrayed by her then boyfriend/fiancé sent her on a path of destruction. Didn’t help that the people involved where at the top and could end her career.
Which boyfriend??
HHH. He was cheating on her with the boss' daughter.
What happened with her first boyfriend. This video just skipped over that part? Did she cheat on her boyfriend with Triple HHH and ditch him for HHH? If so then she did the same thing that HHH did to her a few years later.
@@alexf9381 everyone is somene's fool, bro. She faked it till she made it. She was gaslighting Sean Xpac on some radio show. Shows what level they can stoop to.
Go Mgtow!!!
Don’t blame the guys she dated. Why do ppl always say that for women. Triple H went above & beyond for this woman & risked his own reputation by bringing her to WWE & he helped change he life. She went from a nobody, to a WWE legend with her dreams coming true in months.
Today there's a lot of stories about the glory of women like Chyna, but not the pressures, pain, consequences or downturns in their lives. Well done for bringing balance to the narrative.
I had a total crush on Chyna back then. I think it’s the fact that she was built, powerful, strong, confident and sexy as hell that got my attention. And above all, she was a super talented wrestler. Makes me so sad to hear about what she went through in her life. I choose to remember her for all her badassery.
Her adult movies were horrible tho. You can tell she was high and just didn't give a damn. Sad.
@@KoolKeithProductions I never saw them myself but I remember when they came out. She already had a history of substance abuse and getting with X-Pac just made it all worse. If Vince just paid his wrestlers well and not like they’re contract workers, stuff like this wouldn’t happen as much.
She was a sexual Tyranasaurus. And so sexy.
@@Ganbarizer We can't blame Vince for her own decisions. Let's not forget that both New Japan and Impact released her the same way Vince did, so were they to blame as well?
@@KoolKeithProductions well sorry hers weren't as good as Your Woman ♀️👠 adult Movies
My heart breaks learning about her passing💔 learning about how they did her dirty!! I grew up watching her! She taught me that women can be tough too! REST IN PEACE LEGEND!🙏🏽
Women are more tough bcz they don't have weak sensitive testicles which chyna has proved in wwf by beating most powerful male wrestlers by busting their testicles 😂😂😂😂😂
She actually earned a WWF title shot at one point. I think somebody even said she was going to win it at one point. Imagine that.
She won the Intercontinental Title
With her academic prowess, passion, and amazing physique, JL could have done anything she wanted! I watched her for years on television. For her, the only way should have been up! May she rest in power. 🙏🏾
She was the real Zena ,everytime i saw her i was thinking Warrior Queen.Good looking AF
Wrestling business treat wrestlers like puppets. It's really heart wrecking to see what she had gone through. RIP 9th wonder of the world Chyna 😭😭
She was like an indestructible machine when she first debut in the WWE
Joanie wrestled a match with my brother's local wrestling outfit, AIWF. She was so incredibly good and much smaller than when she debuted with the WWF/WWE. She is missed.
RIP to an absolute icon. This woman was ground-breaking and paved the way for the women's division and made it possible for women in pro-wrestling to demand respect.
Its karma, she dumped her boyfriend when she made it big. Funny how women always dump their men when they make it but men take their women with them.
Thank you for telling her story with such respect.
A well researched, sympathetic and thoughtful video. RIP Chyna.
not sure who her boyfriend was after she left WWE, only said 6 months before her death, then it is all a GUESS!
As I recall Jim Ross said Chyna was offered near $400,000 to renew her contract, but Chyna wanted around $1,000,000.
Why not? she was worth every penny..
You can tell just by how willing she was to constantly uproot herself and chase what made her happy that she was endlessly searching for that... something.
It's heartbreaking that she couldn't ultimately find that something. She sure seems to be a person whose life was defined by her vulnerability. Just makes you wish that she had just one positive and consistent person in her life, and things would have certainly been different for her. And that goes all the way back to her childhood.
Tragic.
Her boyfriend in the beginning seemed very supportive and positive. Looks like she chose other things.
She had her amazing and supportive boyfriend. Like most women who become financially successful they get an ego worse than most men. She then went into drugs and sex work. Doesnt sound like leaving him worked out well.
I remember watching her as a kid. You really never know what goes on behind those eyes.
Surprisingly as videos go the tragic life is no hyperbole in this title. She was strong, she was smart but bit by bit life brought her down anyway.
Complete double standard here.... It was okay for Sable, but not Chyna.... Smh
Sable didn’t do a 9 man gangbang video. The WWE were actually justified in staying away from Chyna considering the amount of kids watching their show. Plus Sable married 2 untouchable stars in Stone Cold and Lesnar.
Sable looked better flat out
You're missing the point. Sable was not an in ring wrestler. What Vince said was that if you want to be treated like an in ring superstar and not like Sable/Sunny then you wont do playboy.
Right just because of the way they looked they could but honestly Chyna looked better than both because she could wrestle and look good something sunny or sable couldn't do they were only used for looks
@@19floyed yet she couldn’t wrestle with men like chyna could
She Needed Someone To Stand By Her Side Thru It All And No One Did🌹❤️
She showed us how strong she is and she got to the top and she was loved and I was a fan and she loved playing the cello and she is the ninth wonder of the world and a wwe women’s champion! Rest in peace Joanie
She seemed like such a nice person. I really liked her so much. I hope she is resting in peace. ❤
RIP Joanie Chyna Laurie the 9th wonder of the world
Chyna, is still a legend. It broke my heart when she passed away. RIP Chyna 🌹🌹
She needs a solo induction in the HOF
That’ll never happen why? Bc she did porn Vince doesn’t condone that in his company
Wrestlemania 2000 N64 was my first exposure to WWE. When I was 5 I turned on the TV and saw a Fatal Four Way. Chyna was there and she was the first person I saw on WWE live TV.
I'm 5'9" and a redhead. I struggled as a youngster too due to horrendous bullying - emotional, physical and sexual. Thankfully I never turned to drugs. This amazing lady inspired me to try wrestling. I'm chubby, so not built like her at all but I loved her.
Hey Allison
How are you ☺
I had no idea she had a such a sad story. Rest Easy Chyna
The upcoming AE Biography will represent her respectfully!
Rest in peace Joanie. You'll never be forgotten🙏
I remember watching her and being absolutely in awe of her. She was so beautiful and talented and it broke my heart when she died. RIP to a true legend.
If she’d only been a little patient and avoided that stuff WWE would definitely have brought her back for big money. There’s never been a female wrestling star as beloved as Chyna. Her return at any point would’ve done wonders for their ratings
I wonder what would have happened if she went to WCW to be in the NWO instead.
@@SpookySammy I never liked WCW or NWO but she would’ve killed it there too. Really stuck a knife in Vince. Wonder why they missed out on that opportunity. Maybe they were already floundering already
WWE would never bring her back with Paul (Triple H) & Stephanie being in a relationship & then married. Stephanie would never have allowed that.
@@munkustrap2I agree
I don't think many people make it through the entertainment business unscathed. Such a tragic story.
Bums me tf out, man. Hope she found peace.
When I tell you Chyna is the reason I would beat my brother up 😂 and she shares my name. I felt like a warrior every time she came on screen. I’m so sad and disappointed at how displaced the WWE made her feel. She was a true legend!
I feel that Chyna Died of a Broken Heart. Since she betrayed by her ex boyfriend/fiancé including his wife, then also their colleagues from WWF/E really caused her downward spiral
Are you referring to triple h betraying her? What did chyna do to her boyfriend when she got the call for wwf? Dumped her boyfriend for triple h. Its easy to point fingers but she did the same thing that triple h did to her. So no triple h didn't cause her downward spiral, letting all the fame go to her head and not getting her own way caused her downward spiral and xpac helped
Agreed.
Did she dump the boyfriend or did she cheat on him?
IN RESPONSE TO THE QUINTESSENTIAL: Chyna was hurt by Paul and Stephanie's off screen relationship when she discovered the letter in Paul's briefcase. I would daresay Paul and Stephanie left it there so Joanie could find it; telling Joanie about the relationship with Stephanie could have resulted in physical injury to either Paul and Joanie if not both. Not an act of cowardice, smart thinking.
Chyna fans seem to miss the IMPORTANT FACT Paul wanted children and a family whereas Joanie Laurer didn't. I suppose it's cruel that Paul couldn't put his feelings aside and wait for Joanie to decide when they would start a family, right?
Joanie Laurer had a boyfriend/lover that she working out with for six days a week. When Shane O'Mac offered her a contract, she took off quick, fast and in a hurry. Isn't funny how that relationship ended with no mention in this presentation? And for the Chyna fans, she dumped her boyfriend just like Paul dumped her for a more promising future.
People fall in love and then fall out of love and MOVE ON. All the time Paul and Stephanie spent together, did she think a mutual attraction wouldn't develop?
@@endiadj Good question
She's the best female wrestler I've ever seen. poor Chyna R.I.P 😢
When she was on screen, she was the only thing I saw. I miss her.
Seeing Chyna takes me back to the good old days, stationed in Korea, with wrestling showing on the screen in our barracks’s dayroom (Camp Eagle, now remanded to the ROK again) Kane, Undertaker…I miss those guys. And there’s no going back; I take those with me. RIP Joanie
Chyna was such a phenom. Had everything, body, athleticism, and ability. She actually looked like she could beat men in the ring. Her feud with Jericho was a riot. I loved that she bragged she was bigger, stronger, more muscular than him, and Jericho never denied it! What a shame, she had unlimited potential.
Chyna built the house that todays female wrestlers now live in. Hers is indeed a tragic story - but her contribution to sports entertainment is immortal. We will always remember her:.
I was a big fan of wrestling fan when she was popular and I absolutely loved her, it killed me to see her on those stupid ass reality shows exploiting her the way they did, especially as a person who struggled with alcohol and drugs myself for 10+ years, rest in peace Chyna ❤❤❤
What I don't understand is that triple h said she wouldn't be in the hall of fame because of her life choices 🤔. What about xpac who was in that video too, what about sunny, what about hulk hogan etc
Well, she is in the HOF as a member of DX (along with X-Pac). Sunny... I forgot she was in the HOF. When did she get in again? (Exactly my point). As for Hulk Hogan, he is the bigger name than everyone you've just listed, and his resume speaks for itself. People still talk about him today.
"her life was cut short thanks to the business" you should do a video about that. this one only showed how her poor choices and addiction ended her life.
Chyna is a really good example of plastic surgery actually working. She looked very nice after it.
Chyna was so beautiful, she will never be forgotten.
I'll admit that I wasn't much of a fan of Chyna at first. But she definitely grew on me after a little while. And she was actually pretty good at what she did. She really played that roll perfectly and even on occasion you'd get some great comedy promos and skits from her going at it with some of the other guys.
Even as a baby, she looked like an adult. Almost no changes to her main facial expressions.
Was a nacional bodybuilding treasure, indeed. Never seen such good sports genetics, a natural athlete.
No doubt, she would struggle to socialize in her teenage days. She was out of the ordinary, and people tend to get impressed by extraordinary people.
A pity that her poor choices took her down. If she had joined the WCW, back then, probably, the NWO would be remembered not only by Hall, Nash and Hulk.
I’m so glad u did this vid on Chyna. I LOVED watching her, and I’m so heartbroken over how much she must’ve suffered. 💕Rest in power Joanie!💕
I have always been a huge fan of Chyna. When she stopped wrestling I started to watch wrestling less and less after that. It's sad what happened to her in the end but I'm not surprised with the McMahon's ignorance and greed.
Love her so much. Truly missed.
That business and that company sure chews people up and spits them out at an alarming rate.
I watched her on reality tv. She was in some much pain . 😢 May her soul rest
Damn this hits hard. I was holding back the tears for the whole 20 minutes.
They betrayed her .. what a sad ending .. RIP 🙏 Legend .
Joanie was always looking for love and IMO after the way in which the WWE and HHH broke her heart was the beginning of the end for her. She was a bright gal. I wish she had become a Spanish teacher, thus avoiding all the temptations and perils of fame. She deserved to find real love and happiness.
Her not wanting kids was her downfall in terms of having a real love life. That's something you tell a man up front. Your chances of finding a grown man that doesn't want to extend his seeds is almost slim to none. Even deadbeats want kids. Knowing their DNA is out here in the world to also extend their DNA..it's innate, human nature. We would cease to exist or not exist at all if we didn't have that innate need to procreate.
I remember my childhood watching her wrestling in wwe RIP.
My heart goes out for Chyna
No 🚫👎🙅
Only Donald Trump calls China as Chyna Chyna chyna
AS young boy i did not like Chyna but now i am 43 years ... and finally started to see each fighter real life documentary's .. life was hard on everyone.... that is why we need to be carful with our life choices, unfortunately people want more and more and sometime being normal and simple is not accepted ... even when young people see all these sad stories they still run after money and fam . live a normal life in small house ....you dont need a lot just be Good and pray to God. stop running around money and drugs .
This was a well made video. It was concise yet very informative. RIP, Joanie. 🙏📿
There is something profoundly depressing about the idea of finding success, fulfilment and a chosen family in the industry of your dreams. And then living to make a porn parody about it to pay the bills.
She was such a beautiful soul. I can't remember where I watched it, but she taught English in Japan and had a vlog of some kind. A very sweet person, and not what you'd expect. RIP 💔
Vince didn't want her to do playboy, but had no problem with Sable?
They screwed her over. If they had been more supportive, she'd still be with us.
You gotta understand. Vince wanted her to be WWE Champion at the time. She was on her way to making history, and could've gotten paid handsomely. Chyna is truly the only woman Vince has considered to being the WWE Champion, but she rejected that for Playboy and had the nerve to demand more money. The fame got to her head, so Vince understandably reasoned that if she was going to demand more money from him (kind of like Jeff Jarrett and Warrior did), he was going to have to get rid of her. I didn't like how he did that, and I still feel it was a bitch move on his part. I also understand that if he was going to let someone like Warrior go for demanding more money from him, what would make him keep Chyna, and what would make her so special? It was an easy decision on his part.
Sable, on the other hand, was Vince's bitch behind closed doors, and was truly only there for her looks, not her wrestling ability. She wasn't that good. Truthfully, I never really liked Sable anyway.
Last point, yes WWE screwed her over, but she also brought a lot of her problems on herself. Had she made better decisions and actually rejected the drugs and alcohol (and Sean Waltman... I felt he contributed to a lot of those issues), then yes she'd still be alive today.
@@coachcarter8238 well, she's Lesnar's problem now.
i remember Chyna! i haven't watched wrestling in literally about 25 years give or take, but i still remember her. she was always the badass, gang leader, she-hulk type vibe to her. truly is heartbreaking to learn, literally just today, that this is how it ended for her...
I loved her! I was a big girl myself, had a keen interest in martial arts. The boys were very intimidated by me and teased me. Called me an amazon. I related to her so much. So sad to see her downward spiral. RIP Chyna 🙏
Only the boys .
I know as a child that would hurt but I'd love to be a Amazon or warrior. I study women involved in various militaries, warriors, etc throughout history..
Its karma, she dumped her boyfriend when she made it big. Funny how women always dump their men when they make it but men take their women with them.
Men are NOT ARE NOT I REPEAT AGAIN ARE NOT!!!! EVER INTIMIDATED by a woman, we don’t care if your 7 fkn foot tall-we are STILL STRONGER and ALWAYS WILL BE
So stop it with your pathetic attempt to try and say boys were intimidated-it’s JUST NOT TRUE-the reason guys stayed away from you is because your a woman trying to be masculine and like a man and real men don’t want to be around you EVER and it’s NOT cause your a woman in a man’s world it’s cause your trying to be a man and men don’t like tomboy women we like soft compassionate non combative classy ladies that embrace their femininity, NOT trying to deny it
lies … a lot of men use men to build themselves up then dispose of them for women that are more beautiful … loads of wrestlers did this .. the most wealthy men don’t even know how to be committed becoz of the options
This video has inspired me to now watch “One night in Chyna.”
Chyna will always be a trailblazer for women's wrestling. Unfortunately, how the WWE treated her and the rumor that she was transgender didn't help and once she was gone from WWE they even stopped having intergender matches. I will say that Triple H should have done more for her even tho they split.
I want to see Braun Strowman powerbomb women already damn it
It's disgusting how WWE treated chyna at the end, and then the way she was treated after her death. Thanks to Chyna, Women were finally being seen as wrestlers. Not hookers ripping each others dresses off in the middle of the ring.
Chyna should have been put in the hall of fame by herself. Honestly im surprised they let chyna in with DX..
I met Chyna in 2012, while working on the film, White T. She was very sweet and professional, and I was lucky enough to have lunch with her. Maybe it was just a good day for her, I don't know. It broke my heart when she passed.
Now it all makes sense, Chyna didn't want kids, so HHH moved on to somebody who did.
I don't blame him for doing that. I do blame him for the way he did it.
Miss you Chyna, wished you had been strong no matter what you would still be here today. WWE has never been the same since you been gone. When I watch WWE female wrestlers there is always someone missing and that is you. Greatly missed. Broken hearted.
We miss her she was my generations real life wonder woman
Man, I loved Chyna when I was a kid. I still have my action figure of her!
She will forever be missed.
I still miss her. My idol from a child to early adult. I will always love me some Joanie Laurer❤
Rhea remains me of her with no flaws
I just thought of that before I read this comment.
That photo of Triple H with Killer!! 🤣
Looks like an oompa loompa!! 🤣
Looks like an oompa loompa!! 🤣
Chyna vs Rhea vs Rousey in a triple threat would be a dream match. I bet if she was still alive she'd still have it
I don't know about that... The latter 2 you just mentioned are still a lot younger than Chyna would've been right now, and it would've been a sloppy match to see. Only one of those women can actually wrestle, and I'm not talking about Rousey.
@@coachcarter8238 that's why it's a hypothetical fantasy match.
@@1201zj You said a dream match as if it were a good one. I'm telling you it would suck.
@@coachcarter8238 it’s his opinion not yours god shut up
Chyna was one of my favorite wrestlers when I was a kid. I think she's so beautiful. I'm saddened by how she was treated and how her life was cut way too short. I hope her soul finds peace. This world didn't deserve her. We should've cherished her better and tried to help her before it was too late. Rest in paradise Joanie you will always be the ninth wonder of the world.
