Joan Marie Laurer (née le 27 décembre 1969 à Rochester, New York et morte le 20 avril 2016 à Redondo Beach, Californie), plus connue sous le nom de Chyna, est une catcheuse (lutteuse professionnelle) américaine, une actrice pornographique, et une culturiste.
Principalement connue pour son travail à la World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Chyna obtiendra le surnom de The Ninth Wonder of the World (« La neuvième merveille du monde »), s'étant fait connaître pour son physique très masculin, et pour avoir souvent combattu contre des hommes dans sa carrière.
Dans sa carrière, elle a remporté une fois le championnat féminin de la WWF, et est aussi la seule femme de l'histoire de la WWE à avoir été championne intercontinentale, titre qu'elle a même remporté à deux reprises ; elle est aussi la première femme de l'histoire à avoir participé à un Royal Rumble Match (en 1999 et 2000), la seule à avoir participé à un tournoi King of the Ring et la seule à avoir été challenger pour le championnat de la WWF. Elle est la cofondatrice, avec Triple H et Shawn Michaels, de D-Generation X.
Elle quitte la WWF en 2001 et fait un bref passage à la New Japan Pro Wrestling avant d'arrêter sa carrière de catcheuse.
Elle devient actrice de films pornographiques en 2004 après la sortie commerciale d'une sextape avec le catcheur Sean Waltman. Elle tourne en tout huit films.
Elle meurt le 20 avril 2016 d'une overdose médicamenteuse. Biographie
Laurer's breast implants were custom-made for her after her first implants were ruptured during a wrestling match. She had also complained to her plastic surgeon that their largest implants did not suit her frame in the way she desired. Laurer's custom implants became the model for the Chyna 2000s, a model of breast implant now marketed to large-framed women and female bodybuilders. Laurer claims to have paid $6,000 for them.
From 1996 until 2000, Laurer dated fellow wrestler Paul "Triple H" Levesque. They initially hid their relationship from their co-workers because Laurer felt that people might think she "[slept] her way to the top". The duo also lived together for some time. Beginning in 2003, however, she had a tumultuous relationship with wrestler Sean Waltman. They were engaged for a period in 2003, then broke up, and then became engaged again, a pattern that continued for the next two years. In 2004, Laurer and Waltman made a sex tape. Eager for a repeat success, the company that released Paris Hilton's celebrity sex tape obtained the footage, edited it, and released it under the name 1 Night in China. The video sold over 100,000 copies, with both Laurer and Waltman earning a share of the profits. Laurer, however, maintains that she did not earn any money from the release. In January 2005, Laurer was arrested for domestic assault after allegedly beating Waltman.
On February 8, 2007 (the date of Anna Nicole Smith's death), a visibly upset Laurer appeared on Larry King Live to speak about her late friend. On the program, Laurer claimed that she "knew it was coming" because of the way the media had ridiculed Smith, and she drew parallels between the plight of Anna and herself. The wife of the CEO of Trim Spa, Monique Goen, however, claimed that Smith did not consider Laurer a friend.
After leaving the WWF, Laurer was unable to use the name "Chyna" because of its trademark. Therefore, she began to use the name "Chynna Doll" for public appearances. In November 2007, however, Laurer filed papers to change her name legally to Chyna.
Laurer has also had problems with substance abuse. She claimed that her "life was spinning out of control" around the time she made the sex tape. In January 2005, Sean Waltman claimed that she was battling drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental illness. Days after the domestic dispute between Waltman and Laurer, it was reported in the New York Post that she had stripped naked and jumped into a fish tank in a New York nightclub. That same month, she made another appearance on The Howard Stern Show, where she was slurring her words and going off on random tangents. On the program, she claimed to not want to do drugs anymore, but said that if a line of cocaine was in front of her, she would do it. After her appearance, she entered a facility specializing in helping people with depression, and she decided to stop drinking. In early 2008, Laurer appeared on the VH1 reality TV show, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, but she claimed on the show that she did not consider herself an addict. On December 27, 2008, she was rushed to the hospital after her birthday party, where she was found passed out with cuts on her arms.
Laurer has a strained relationship with her family. She last saw her mother at the age of sixteen, and she claims that her father never got over her decision not to join the FBI. She also alleges that her father took out several student loans in her name and without her knowledge, leaving her with $40,000 in debt. On an episode of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008, Laurer claimed to have a bad relationship with all of her family members, including her siblings. In September 2010, Laurer was hospitalized after overdosing on sleeping medication. As of February 2015, Laurer has reestablished a good relationship with her mother; her father died in May 2014.
Laurer is currently teaching English in Japan and has been in Japan since January 1, 2012.
On 9 February 2015 during a WWE Network podcast with Steve Austin, Triple H mentioned that Chyna deserved to be in the WWE Hall of Fame but that problems with children Googling her prohibited it. After being in contact with Vince Russo she claimed in an interview that Triple H had hit her, which he later called a false statement.
