It is with great sadness that we report former WWE Superstar Joan “Chyna” Laurer has passed away at the age of 45. Details are not currently available on the cause of dead, but her official Twitter page has confirmed that she has indeed passed away. ProWrestlingSheet.com has also reported that she was discovered at her home.


Chyna started to make a name for herself in the late 1990’s when she debuted in the then WWF as the bodyguard for Triple H. Shortly thereafter, she gained mainstream popularity as a member of Degeneration X. She posed for Playboy magazine numerous times & became the first female WWE Intercontinental Champion.

She also defeated Ivory for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 17 when she was at the height of her popularity. However, shortly thereafter she left the WWE and never returned.

  1. Joanie was so hot back in the day – I saw he up close at a house show back in the day and she looked fake she looked so hot and perfect.

    WWE used and abused her and she was the ULTIMATE victim of WWE politics and sexcapades.

    I blame WWE for her death.

    She deserved better.

    RIP Joanie.

    Will never forget you.

  2. Allen Neal Jones is so overrated – the guy was given the ball MULTIPLE times in TNA and did nothing for numbers – that is just fact.

    Even in pre-Dixie times, that the idiot Universe CLAIM THEY worship.

    Want more proof?

    RAW Monday, with Allen Neal featured, got its lowest rating of the year.

    The OTHER dirty little secret is that Goatface Bryan Danielson never got numbers either.

    These guys only appeal to smarks.

    On top of all that – AJ is botch heaven – he has SERIOUSLY injured a FEW guys in the last year.

    And the look and persona he has now?

    Was honed by Dixie.

    Jones is a traitor – he held up Dixie for money, when he didn’t draw flies.

    Dixie isn’t a charity – you want more money? Do your job and put butts in the seats.

    Jones had his chance and failed.

    Peace out.

  3. WWE pulled Joanie into THEIR world, for THEIR gain and profit (she didn’t go to them or ask for it)….

    ..then dumped her when they didn’t want her.

    She never got over that and spiraled into a world of drugs.

    Another ex-WWE member dead.

    Figure it out.

    RIP

  4. It was cool when Chyna went to TNA.

    TNA got awesome numbers this week – over 300,000 viewers, and the number up from the week before – AND on little POP TV on top of it.

    Great sign! No wonder investors are interested.

    TNA has been great lately – the EY/Bram segment was gold this week.

    TNA!

    TNA!

    TNA!

    WWE SUCKS!
