Joan Marie Laurer, better known as her ring name Chyna (born December 27, 1969 in Rochester, New York, died April 17, 2016 in Redondo Beach, California) was an American professional wrestler, bodybuilder, glamour model, author and actress.

She first rose to prominence in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1997, where she was billed as the "Ninth Wonder of the World". After leaving the WWF in 2001, Chyna wrestled sporadically with other wrestling companies.

Following a very successful pro wrestling career she worked as a professional pornographic actress and nude model in the 2000s, though she claimed in early 2014 to be retired from pornography. She was considered to be a sex symbol.

Early Life

Laurer was born in Rochester, New York, on December 27, 1969 with two older siblings. As a child, Laurer learned to play both the violin and cello. She left home at age sixteen after her mother tried to force her into a drug rehabilitation facility, going instead to live with her biological father. That same year, she began working out. She finished her last year of high school in Spain.

She graduating in University of Tampa on 1992 with a major in Spanish Literature. During college, she also studied French and German (she could converse in either language). After college, Laurer began to regularly enter fitness competitions.

Career

Professional wrestling career

In 1997, two of WWE's top wrestlers, Triple H and Shawn Michaels, met the then heavily muscular Joanie Laurer in a bar. Struck by her appearance, they persuaded WWF (later renamed WWE) boss Vince McMahon to hire her.

Adopting the new pseudonym "Chyna", she entered the then-WWF in a starring role as Triple H's on-screen bodyguard. In time a real-life romantic relationship developed between the pair. For good and for worse, her unusual build attracted fans' attention and made her such a hit that WWE changed its rules and allowed mixed gender (as opposed to intergender) matches for the first time. Chyna herself even won non-women's titles and honors.

During this time, Chyna also went through surgeries to look more feminine, including making her jaw smaller and changing from flat to heavily buxom. Her new attractive look was often highlighted on WWE TV, until eventually she made the cover of Playboy magazine in November, 2000, following in the footsteps of fellow former WWE star Sable.

In 2001, the Triple H character left Chyna in favor of Stephanie McMahon, once again leading him to a real life romance (and eventual marriage). The Chyna character was out of the spotlight, causing Chyna to eventually quit WWE.[3]

Chyna then wrestled first in the independent circuit and then travelled to Japan to wrestle in New Japan Pro Wrestling, in which she retired from wrestling in 2002.

Modelling career

Due to her WWE popularity, Chyna's Playboy issue (in which she appeared on the cover) was reportedly one of the ten best-selling issues in the magazine's long history. After parting ways with WWE, she appeared nude in Playboy a second time.

Acting and pornography

Chyna in 1 Night In Chyna (2004) (V)

During and after her wrestler career, Chyna has appeared in various roles, including a recurring role in 2000 as a buxom cop with a very tight police shirt in the "aliens on Earth" sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun.

In 2004, Chyna and her wrestler boyfriend Sean Waltman released the commercial home sex tape 1 Night In Chyna. It sold over 100,000 copies.[4] The tape became an internet phenomenon, largely due to Chyna's mainstream popularity.

In January 2006, the film won an Adult Video News Award for the Top Selling Title of the year.[5]

In 2011, Laurer starred in her first professional pornographic film for Vivid Entertainment Group entitled Backdoor To Chyna, where she performed her first professional anal sex scene.

On January 4, 2014 Chyna had a question and answer session on twitter (@ChynatheIcon) in which she was asked if she had any adult films in the works. To which she responded: "No I do not. That is over."[6]

Personal life

In her best-selling autobiography, If They Only Knew, Laurer revealed that her breast implants were custom-made for her after she complained to her plastic surgeon that their largest implants didn't suit her frame in the way she desired. Laurer's custom implants became the model for the Chyna 2000's, a model of breast implant now marketed to large-framed women and female bodybuilders. Laurer claims to have paid $6,000 for them.[7] Later in the book, Laurer revealed that the structural integrity of the Chyna 2000 prototypes was relatively weak; one of them ruptured during a wrestling match, necessitating corrective surgery.

She legally had her name changed to 'Chyna' in November 2007 after a falling out with WWE.[8]

Death

On April 20, 2016, Chyna was found dead at her home in Redondo Beach, California.[9] Her manager Anthony Anzaldo had become concerned when Laurer did not post updates or content to her usual social media outlets for several days and subsequently found her body in her apartment. Initial police reports stated she probably died of an accidental drug overdose or natural causes. Anzaldo suggested that any overdose was accidental, claiming that she was prescribed drugs but tended to use them improperly. [10]

A report of her autopsy was released in December 2016. Chyna died on April 17 of an overdose of alcohol, combined with the anxiety drugs diazepam and nordazepam, painkillers oxycodone and oxymorphone, and sleeping aid temazepam.
