Damn sad, hope they do a tribute tonight on smackdown she at least deserves that, I'm actually surprised she made it sound like she was doing great whenever I heard her in recent interviews, she was highly entertaining and played a pivotal role in my favorite era of wrestling ever the attitude era, rip
 
Rip.

That pic made me realize how much Eddie truly is missed.

I think one of her last interview she did she says that at Pipers funeral she ran into hunter and they spoke
 
From Mick Foley's fb page:

GOODBYE JOANIE

My heart is aching. My eyes are swollen from crying, having just talked to Joan Laurer's manager Anthony Anzaldo on the phone and been told that Chyna, the 9th Wonder of the World was no longer with us; gone at only 45.

I will always be grateful for the friendship I shared with her, but particularly so for the kindness she showed my children, especially Noelle when she was younger - taking her by the hand at WWE events in the late 90's - off to have her makeup done, her fingernails painted; bonding time between big, strong Joanie, and her tiny sidekick. A father doesn't forget that type of kindness.

I didn't know whether to post a classic photo of Chyna in her WWE prime or of Joanie from the last time I saw her - about 10 months ago at a convention on Long Island. I went with the photo from the convention because of the emotion; because it was taken at the exact moment I saw her for the first time in many years. I was told later that Joanie wasn't sure how I would react to her, and that it meant a great deal to be accepted. Like I said, a father doesn't forget. I called home on my way back from the convention – only about 40 minutes from my house. "I'm bringing a friend over to watch the pay-per-view" I said to my wife.

"Who's that?", my wife asked.

"Chyna"

"Chyna?"

"Yeah, Chyna!"

And that was pretty much that. A mother, you see, doesn't forget the kindness shown to her child, either.

I am so glad we had that night with Joanie. A night to let her know how much we cared about her, whether it was politically correct or not. A night to let her know we loved her -and always will. RIP my dear friend. I pray that somehow in death, you can find the peace that eluded you so frequently during the latter years of your remarkable life.

Please feel free to share your favorite Chyna memory.

Shit happens like this way too often for the WWE...

you would think that they would learn to squash petty shit with past greats for the good of the biz....I thought they may have turned that corner with the reconciliation with Warrior...

It shouldnt of had to come to DEATH for them to finally ack Joanie and her HISTORIC career and contribution to WWE and pro wrestling.

RIP

Yea Stephanie and HHH some cold blooded bastards for the way they ostracized Chyna over the years like she wasn't pivotal character in WWE/F's attitude era which really saved that company from going out of business.

I expect them to give Chyna that customary posthumous induction into the WWE hall of fame similar to how they did Randy Savage after his death even though it was well known Savage and the McMahon's were not on good terms at the time of his death.

I appreciate the art of pro wrestling, but not so much how the WWE treats its sacked wrestlers who they basically just throw to the side after they've been used up and abused after years of being on the road every night.

Most of them get addicted to painkillers and develop recreational drug habits from those years on the road and high percentage die young.

RIP Chyna
