Chyna[10] (born Joan Marie Laurer; December 27, 1969 – April 17, 2016) was an American professional wrestler, fitness model, bodybuilder, actress, adult actress and television personality.

Chyna first rose to prominence in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 1997, where she was billed as "The Ninth Wonder of the World"[11] (André the Giant was already billed as the eighth). A founding member of the stable D-Generation X as the promotion's first female enforcer, she held the WWF Intercontinental Championship (the only female performer they wrote to do so) twice and the WWF Women's Championshiponce.[6] She was also the first woman to participate in the Royal Rumble match and King of the Ring tournament, in addition to becoming number one contender to the WWF Championship.[12]She is considered one of the biggest stars of the Attitude Era.[13]With singles victories over several prominent male wrestlers – including multiple-time world champions Triple H, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho and Jeff Jarrett[14] – she left what WWE called "a lasting legacy as the most dominant female competitor of all time".[12] After leaving the WWF in 2001, she wrestled sporadically, with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in 2002 and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in 2011. The latter was her final appearance in the ring.

Outside of wrestling, Chyna appeared in Playboy magazine twice, plus numerous television shows and films. She was considered a sex symbol. In 2005, she was a cast member on VH1's The Surreal Life, which led to several other celebrity reality appearances on the network, including The Surreal Life: Fame Games in 2007 and Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008. Chyna was posthumously entered into the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of D-Generation X, making her the first woman to be inducted as a part of a group or team.[15]

Joan Marie Laurer was born in Rochester, New York, on December 27, 1969. Her parents divorced when she was around four years old. She had three stepfathers and one stepmother. She said her first stepfather threatened suicide at one point,[16] while her biological father had a problem with alcoholism and once accidentally stabbed her mother in the thigh with a butcher knife.[17] From 1973 to 1983, she, her siblings and her mother moved several times.[17]

As a child, Laurer learned to play violin and cello.[18] She later said that in seventh grade she was sexually kissed by a much older teacher who worked at her school.[19] At 13, while attending Penfield High School, she began purging after she ate.[20] She left home at 16 when her mother tried to force her into a drug rehabilitation facility and lived with her biological father.[21] That year, she began working out, and because her abdominal muscles were so strong, she did not feel any pain when she developed an ovarian tumor.[19] She finished her last year of high school in Spain.[22]

Laurer attended the University of Tampa,[23] graduating in 1992 with a major in Spanish literature.[24] She studied French and German there (she could converse in either language)[24] and said that during this time she was raped by two men after getting drunk at a party.[25] She was a member of the ROTC.[23] She originally wanted to use her knowledge of foreign languages to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation or Drug Enforcement Administration.[24] She subsequently joined the Peace Corps and was assigned to Guatemala.[26]

After returning from abroad, she held several jobs: a cocktail waitress in a strip club, singer in a band, and a 900-number chat line worker.[27] In her mid-to-late 20s, while living in the Florida Keys, she took a six-week class to train as a flight attendant.[28] On the way to her first flight, she was in a car crash and spent four days in the hospital.[29] When she recovered, her sister Kathy helped her get a job selling pagers; they both also worked as belly dancers.[30]

After college, Laurer began to regularly enter fitness competitions. In 1996, she competed in the New York City regional level of the Fitness America competition.[31] Because of her large size compared to the other women, she usually finished in last place.[31]

Playboy 

Laurer modeled nude for Playboy in the November 2000 issue.[5] In 2002, following her departure from the WWF, she appeared in a second nude pictorial.[82] She also filmed a Playboy adult documentary, Joanie Laurer Nude: Wrestling Superstar to Warrior Princess, which followed her on the set.[83]

In 1990, Hamer landed a job as a chef at a Pontins holiday camp in Norfolk for the summer season, requesting that her employers wait for 12 hours as she had to hitchhike there.[4]While working in the restaurant, she met professional wrestler Ricky Knight, part of the cabaret circuit. The two became inseparable, and Hamer soon left Pontins to travel with Knight full-time. She became involved in making wrestling costumes and putting the rings up and down. A few months later, Knight said he wanted her to be part of the show, as a manager in his corner. At a show in Camber Sands, Knight made her debut as Saraya. When the summer season finished, she joined the Sensational Superflys (Knight and Jimmy Ocean) as their manager. She appeared in their corner on Reslo, Orig Williams' Welsh-language wrestling programme on S4C.[5] In 1993, Knight suggested that Saraya may want to wrestle. She agreed and was a quick learner, debuting later that year against Nikki Best.[6] Saraya continued to wrestle and to manage Knight and Ocean for the rest of the 1990s for various UK promotions, including WAW and All Star Wrestling, winning the British Ladies Championship four times 1998–2002.[7]

In 1982, Desiree Petersen met Stu Hart. Hart would not train her, but referred her for training with The Fabulous Moolah.[1]After training at Moolah's school, Petersen made her professional debut in January 1983 against Velvet McIntyre in British Columbia.

In December 1984, Petersen replaced Princess Victoria as Velvet McIntyre's tag-team partner and was awarded the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship. From 1984-1985, Petersen competed in solo and tag-team matches against Moolah, Mad Maxine, Leilani Kai, Judy Martin, Donna Christanello, Penny Mitchell, Peggy Patterson, and Peggy Lee.[2][3] During the first half of 1985, Petersen was engaged in a major solo feud against Martin, which was also spotlighted during her interview with Vince McMahon on Tuesday Night Titansin June 1985.

Simmes got into wrestling after learning to box and being part of an all-female boxing show. From there, she was invited to Killer Kowalski's wrestling school where she trained for 18 months prior to her first match.[1]

Simmes competed for the American Wrestling Association in a 10-woman battle royal at WrestleRock 86 on April 20, 1986. The match was won by Sherri Martel.[2]

In 1986, Simmes joined the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and was awarded the NWA United States Women's Championship (a replacement of the prior NWA World Women's Championship held by Debbie Combs). She once challenged Combs to a title unification match (NWA United States Women's Title and NWA World Women's Title), but was attacked by Combs' manager/mother Cora Combs.[3] She frequently defended the NWA U.S. Women's Title against Linda Dallas, Kat LeRoux, Black Venus, Mad Dog Debbie Irons and a handful of other women on the NWA's TV programs World Wide Wrestlingand World Championship Wrestling. Many of the matches between Dallas and Simmes ended with the two battling each other with Dallas' kendo stick. She also frequently partnered with Heidi Lee Morgan and Vula in tag-team matches.

She also briefly feuded with Jim Cornette. During a televised interview on TBS, Simmes requested that Cornette help train her only to lure him into the ring and nail him with a drop kick. When the Midnight Expresshit the ring, Dusty Rhodes appeared to even the sides. Simmes then competed in an 8-person mixed tag team match partnering with Rhodes, Nikita Koloff, and Barry Windham against Cornette, The Midnight Express, and Dick Murdoch.[4] However, the angle never reached the popularity of Cornette's similar feud with Baby Doll.

While Madusa Miceli was the reigning AWA World Women's Champion, Simmes challenged her to a title unification match (NWA United States Women's Title and AWA World Women's Title) at a Delta Tiger Liliesevent, but the match never happened.[3]

When the NWA phased out the women's division in late 1989, Simmes wrestled on the independent circuit and eventually joined the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association. She and Heidi Lee Morgan competed as Team America and won the LPWA Tag Team Titles. They lost the titles to The Glamour Girls.[5]

Misty feuded with Monster Ripper in Puerto Rico and won a title from her. There are unverified reports that Misty may have lost some matches, but no visual or readily available written proof seems to exist.[6]

In late 1991, Simmes wrestled in World Championship Wrestling, which had evolved from the Jim Crockett Promotions branch of the NWA. She competed in matches against Linda Dallas and Kat LeRoux.[7]

She is married to Jon Simmes.[6]

Prior to becoming a professional wrestler, Simmes and her husband Jon appeared and performed in several pornographic films during the early-to-mid 1980s, with Simmes performing under the pseudonym Bunny Hatton.[8] In 1983, Simmes appeared in the pornographic film "Slit Skirts" in a scene with Ron Jeremy.

Jacqueline DeLois Moore[2] (born January 6, 1964) is an American professional wrestler and professional wrestling manager. She is best known for her time in WWE (known as the World Wrestling Federation until 2002) from 1998 to 2004, where she became the first African American WWE Cruiserweight champion as well as being one of three women to hold the championship, as well as working for World Championship Wrestling in 1997–98 and later Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as a wrestler, manager, and road agent.

She began her career in World Class Championship Wrestling, but was well known in the United States Wrestling Association, where she was a fourteen-time USWA Women's Champion. She later moved to World Championship Wrestling, where she briefly managed the team Harlem Heat. In 1998, she joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, later World Wrestling Entertainment). She began managing Marc Mero and had her first rivalry with Sable, which culminated in the re-establishment of the WWF Women's Championship, which Moore held twice during her time with the WWF. In 1999, she formed an all-female alliance with Terri Runnels and Ryan Shamrock called the Pretty Mean Sisters. In the early 2000s, Moore worked as both a referee and trainer for the WWF, and she also held the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, which was a title predominantly held by men. She was the third woman to accomplish the feat, but the only woman to do so under the WWE banner (following Madusa and Daffney in WCW). In 2004, she joined TNA, where she worked mostly as a manager and occasional wrestler.

I had no idea we were poor I thought everyone lived like we did. As the years went by my aunt Mary started talking me to wrestling matches with her and her kids I thought it was great. The more I went the more I liked it so I started talking to some of the guys about how to get into the business .  Finally at the ripe old age of 15 Dennis Hall gave me Moolahs phone number and I called her and the rest is history I trained for 2 weeks and my wrestling career began.

Mike McGuirk grew up in the wrestling business.[1] Her father Leroy McGuirk ran wrestling promotions in the midwest up to the early to mid-1980s. Leroy never wanted his daughter to follow in his footsteps and become a wrestler.[1] After her father had left the business, she provided the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) with wrestling rings whenever they ran shows in her area.[1][2] She also did some timekeeping.[2] She announced her first show on September 12, 1986 at the Mid-South Coliseum.[1]McGuirk's television debut was in April 1987 on WWF Wrestling Challenge. From her debut, she was the object of ridicule from heel commentator/manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan (though backstage they in fact got on well with each other).[3] McGuirk also did commentary, often with Bruce Prichard (better known as "Brother Love"), and "The Duke of Dorchester" Pete Doherty.[1] McGuirk was known for the colorful, glittery tuxedos she wore while announcing.[1]She performed color commentary on the Best of the WWF Volume 15, and did commentary on the WWF TV show All-American Wrestling. Her commentary as well as ring announcing was also seen/heard during episodes of Prime Time Wrestling which was co-hosted by Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon.[3]When not ring announcing or commentating, McGuirk's job was producing promos back stage.[1] She explained in an interview that Vince McMahon would not let his employees just sit around back stage, he would always find something for them to do while being paid.[2]McGuirk was featured as the ring announcer in the coin-operated WrestleFest video game released by Technos in 1991. McGuirk left the WWF in 1994, rumored to be because she refused sexual advances made upon her by Vince McMahon. McGuirk later denied this rumor, stating that she left because of the increasing use of steroids backstage and because she did not want to move her family to Connecticut.[1]In October 2004, she appeared at Wrestling Reunion II in New Jersey and also repeated her performance for an Indianapolis, Indiana show. In May 2010, she made an appearance at the Legends of the Ring convention. McGuirk was inducted into the IHWE Hall of Fame of Wrestling along with her father, LeRoy McGuirk for their contribution to the sport of professional wrestling in June 2015.
