Joanie "Chyna" Laurer passes away

[Fro]

sad... RIP

 

[Blue Dot]

I HIGHLY doubt it she is blackballed and not like Warrior they made up with Warrior they never even attempted to with Chyna

Well, let us not forget. She might have been blackballed but that was when she was alive and WWE had to deal with her personally.

Now that she has passed, I could see WWE taking the opportunity to profit from it.

I could see a DVD in the not far off future and so on.

Heard about it on Opie and Norton this morning on the drive to work. Was a bummer. They had some very sad clips from past interviews that they shared. Truly had a troubled life. RIP

Chyna was a big part of my wrestling childhood. She main evented RAW against top guys! she believably pulled that role off & it didn't seem far fetched. At the height of her popularity Chyna transcended into the mainstream & was more over than all the current women wrestlers combined.

R.I.P.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Wow rip. Very sad.

 

[Kimi]

Honestly, this isn't unexpected. She was a mess, had been for decades. She never accept help and was in denial about the entire thing.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Sad news

RIP Chyna

She was the originally Ronda Rousey. She was huge in the late 90's...she hit rockbottom with all the drugs and pornstar career and unfortunately couldn't climb her way back out.

It is sad that she is gone. But the WWE could have helped her our. The only reason that comes to mind as to why not is two people and we know who they are. They could have helped her and they didn't. They said that they have tried to help other former employees in the past, why not Chyna? A lot of the stuff is because of what they did to her, Paul and Stephanie.

 

[HeymanGuy]

RIP Chyna. A true legend of wrestling.

 

[Loosie]

I should point in my re-watching I'm just about to get to Chyna's debut, this is sad timing.

 

[TNT87]

Wow this is so sad. Such a downward spiral recently and now this.

RIP

Recently? You mean like for over a decade?

X-Pac didn't accuse Triple H of sexual assault, call Stephanie a *****, accuse Vince of all sorts of things, etc. Chyna did.

Shame she never got the help she needed.

 

[Guardian17]

Sad to hear.

 

[Kimi]

Shame she never got the help she needed.

The problem there is that she didn't think she needed it.

Don't blame Stpehanie and Hunter for this. Many times the person who needs the help, has to want the help. Whose to say they didn't offer help, or try to help?

 

[Balls Mahoney]

That's rich, given the history...

That was my exact thought as well. Stephanie

 

[Loosie]

Wait...people are having issues with what Stephanie said on twitter about Chyna?

Exactly.

I really doubt WWE didn't try to help at some point.

It wasn't unknown her issues. Her issues were very well known, and WWE definitely tried to help.

 

[Virtanen18]

The problem there is that she didn't think she needed it.

Unfortunately, a very common problem amongst those who do need help.

 

[Virtanen18]

Wait...people are having issues with what Stephanie said on twitter about Chyna?

I think it just kind of feels hollow with all the reports and waht not.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I think it just kind of feels hollow with all the reports and waht not.

Of course it's hollow but they have to do it.

 

[Loosie]

What do people want from Stephanie?

If she says nothing she 'cold' and would (rightfully) get raked over the coals. She says something and (wrongfully) gets persecuted because its's 'hollow'? What were people expecting from her?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If Stephanie McMahon and Triple H can acknowledge it on twitter, I'm sure they will acknowledge it on TV.



WWE's official twitter as well:

Awesome I Didn't think they would do it but if they do thats great

 

[CHGoalie27]

She was a huge part of childhood for me. I loved that era from the beginning.

Sad news

 

[KaseMeOutside]

it's embarrassing reading the insincerity from hhh and stephanie, and they think now that she's dead they can probably put her in the HOF as some sort of make good which is BS, if it wasn't for them she probably would not have hit the downward spiral she's been on, since they essentially blackballed her from wwe
