2) Chyna (born Joan Marie Laurer; December 27, 1970) is a former American professional wrestler, actress, pornographic actress and former bodybuilder. She is best known for her career with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) from 1997 to 2001, where she was billed as "Chyna: 'The Ninth Wonder of the World'" (André the Giant was already billed as the eighth). She began her WWF career as Paul "Triple H" Levesque's on-screen bodyguard, and the duo also dated in real-life. They were both members of the popular D-Generation X stable, a storyline alliance of several wrestlers, until 1999.
Chyna holds the distinction of being the only Diva in WWE history to compete, full time, in the men's division. She was the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble, qualify for the King of the Ring tournament, and be the number one contender for the WWF Championship. In 1999, she became the first and only woman to hold the WWF Intercontinental Championship, which she held twice. She also held the WWF Women's Championship once, before leaving the company in 2001. She claims that Levesque's affair with Stephanie McMahon, daughter of WWF owner Vince McMahon, was a factor in her departure. After originally retiring from professional wrestling in 2004, Chyna made a return in May 2011 by joining Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
Outside of wrestling, Laurer has appeared in Playboy magazine twice, as well as numerous television shows and films. In 2005, Laurer was a cast member on VH1's The Surreal Life, which led to several other celebrity reality appearances on the network, including The Surreal Life: Fame Games in 2007 and Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008. She is also known for her tumultuous relationship with fellow wrestler Sean Waltman, with whom she made a sex tape. It was released in 2004 and entitled 1 Night in China.

Great job! I actually knew Chyna before she died. Despite her personal issues she was a very kind person. She went through a lot but always treated her fans and friends with kindness.

Wow, that's awesome! I always had the impression that she was like that, so its great to hear that it is in fact true. I really feel for her still, she deserved so much more.

I always assume she was evil in the arena when she was with TripleH or DX, I only started noticing or liking her when she teamed up with Eddie Guerrero, I never knew Joanie as a person, but now I feel bad for not being able to help her when she was alive,
RIP Joan Marie Laurer

I loved this so much! I knew Joanie i was friends with her back in the 90’s. She was a wonderful person. She was so kind and caring. She loved her fans. I know she was going though personal stuff. But she was always a star to me and her beloved fans.
