I'd bet my left nut that she told Trips numerous times "What were you thinking by dating that man-beast Joanie. Aren't you glad you traded up for me
. I'm so much better than her. You made the right decision."

Damn... not all that surprising but this one still hit
She was messed up, but honestly the way her career/partner was ripped from her would be hard to take for anyone. So alot of it made sense.
Hopefully the 2005+ roster is gonna be the end of wrestlers dying in their 40s.

I don't want to see any hypocritical tweet by Stephanie saying Chyna was a pioneer for divas or anything like that

mental health is a big problem especially if the doctors put you on medication for schizophrenia or sleep deprivation. I hope they do some type of tribute or a moment of silence on monday night raw. I enjoyed her DX run but i liked her more when she was with Eddie Guerrero.
RIP Chyna. We already miss you.
Life is too short, brehs

Quick writeup from Meltzer
Joanie "Chyna" Laurer, a major part of the WWE in the late 90, was found dead in her home today at the age of 45.
No further details are available.
Laurer was a bodybuilder/fitness competitor who trained under Killer Kowalski, using the name Joanie Lee when she was introduced as HHH's bodyguard after WCW had expressed interest in her but Kowalski pushed her to WWE.
She was instrumental in taking HHH, who had struggled getting over despite a major push, to becoming a major star. The two became a couple which was both a blessing to her career and eventually a curse.
When HHH garnered power, Laurer was heavily protected and booked to go evenly with guys. There were very different opinions, as many of the male wrestlers didn't like selling for her or that she was being pushed heavily. She was even given the IC title from Jeff Jarrett the day after Jarrett's contract expired, which enabled Jarrett, with leverage, to hold WWE for a significant amount of money, believed to be in the $200,000 range, to get him to do the job.
She was a major remembered star of the era, at a time when the mainstream popularity of pro wrestling was at its high point.
After HHH and Chyna broke up, her political protection was gone which led to issues. She wanted to continue wrestling men, but those in power in WWF at the time made the decision that they had made a mistake in allowing it in the first place and would only allow her to wrestle women.
She was a popular character, including posing in a best selling issue of "Playboy."
In 2001, when her contract expired, she was let go. Those in WWE at the time claimed she was asking for money at the level of Steve Austin and Dwayne Johnson, and that she also wanted a lighter schedule to pursue acting. But it was probably a combination of being uncomfortable with her around. She claimed she met with Vince McMahon about Stephanie dating HHH, and from that point on, WWE stopped using her. There was a directive from the top not to sign her when the contract expired.
From there, her life and career largely went South. She had problems with drug addiction, which she vehemently denied. Her credibility in interviews was bad, even by wrestlers standpoints, making claims like everyone in pro wrestling but herself was doing steroids, and made claims against former boyfriend Sean Waltman which led to him to threaten legal action.
New Japan brought her in to do the role of beating men. Antonio Inoki pushed her hard as an attraction, and she even was given a win over a young Hiroshi Tanahashi. But she didn't get over and the run ended.
She popped in and out of wrestling, but never returned to WWE. She did a sex tape with Waltman and then started appearing in a number of porn films. She want to Japan for several years and taught English, and claimed that a multitude of people had asked to marry her. She returned to the U.S. and seemed to want to get back with WWE in some capacity, but the company steered clear of her.
