[Goldy]

From her official account, havent seen anything from WWE just yet though.

Sad but not all that shocking. She was a trainwreck after WWE. Couldn't keep it together. She had a great run there for awhile with WWE. What a shame

What happened?

She Transformed Women Wrestling to what we see today.

Sadly she will be remembered for the trainwreck

What happened?

As noted, the official page of former WWE star Joanie “Chyna” Laurer is reporting the former WWE star has passed away at the age of 45.

According to Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com, Laurer’s manager has confirmed she was found dead Wednesday at her home in Los Angeles. Sources close to the situation claim Chyna had been on medication for anxiety and sleep deprivation.

Well now I can see WWE inducting her into the HOF that she's dead, no chance when she was alive but a few years from now it'll happen.

 

[SteelersPride]

No crap...

Transformed the "act" the "show"

Sad to hear. She may have had some issues but she wasn't a bad person as far as I know.

 

[Ewa PGH Fan]

Very sad news. She was one of a kind. RIP 9th Wonder of the World!!!

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Damn, she was my age.

Don't do drugs, kids

 

[johnson]

RIP Chyna. Ever since it didn't work out with Mark Henry, she wasn't the same.

I am going to guess this was pill related. She had a pretty bad addiction problem for a long while.

 

[megalodon30]

Such sad news. Too many pro wrestlers die so young. Get off the pills, youngins.

Even with her passing, do you think Stephanie will allow this?

 

[wazzu31]

As well as its sad that she helped kick starting the best run of success professional wrestling has ever had. Without her, DX doesn't work.

Depends on the cause of death IMO.

IF she doesn't get into the hall of fame then that's bullshit. Who gives shit if her death was overdose or drug addiction, whatever. You know how many wrestlers have died due to addiction? Farrrrr too many. How many current wrestlers are addicted currently? Probably again, farrrr too many.

Chyna deserves go to into the hall due to what she did for wrestling. Absolutely trail blazed the way for Women wrestling. She was the effin Intercontinental Champion, and wrestled guys majority of her career. It is what she did in the ring that she deserves to get into the Hall of Fame.

But I think we can all agree the WWE Hall of Fame has absolutely zero credibility and there is no outline on what gets you in.

IMO, McMahons have absolutely NO room to say someone cant get into their made up Hall of Fame because of their addiction....The Culture McMahon has created from the era of wrestlers Chyna was apart of is all about drugs. Granted WWE seems to have taken a more aggressive approach to their substance policy now.

100% agree. She should be a no-brainer in their HOF, but knowing WWE, Shaq will be inducted before she is.

In theory you're right BUT McMahan fully controls his/WWE's made up HOF. As such he and he alone decides who gets in and when. It not right or fair but it is what it is.

In additional, Chyna was her own worst enemy at times. One of the main reasons WWE wouldn't induct her was because they didn't want to give her an open mic on a international stage like WM. I can't say I blame them one bit for not trusting her with that. We have to remember WWE is a publicly traded company and as such McMahon answers to his stockholders. Can't have someone publicly embarrassing you on your company's biggest stage of the year. And if you don't think Chyna would've embarrassed WWE, go look at some of her media interviews since leaving WWE and numerous appearances on Reality TV shows for proof.
