Chyna, WWE Superstar, Found Dead in L.A. Home

Chyna, the former WWE wrestler and reality TV star, was found dead in her Redondo Beach home on Wednesday. She was 46.
A statement on Chyna's official Twitter account was released, saying, "It is with deep sadness to inform you today that we lost a true icon, a real life superhero."

Chyna, real name Joanie Laurer, was an icon in WWE back in the 90's during its attitude era. She first showed up as the bodyguard for Hunter Hearst Hemsley, who would later be called Triple H and was one of the original members of D-Generation X.

Chyna would later go on to be a staple of the faction, eventually turning heel and joining the villainous Corporation.

After branching off, Chyna would soon become the first female competitor to enter the Royal Rumble at entry number 30, as well as the number one contender for the WWF World Championship in the Summer of 1999.

Though she would not capture the title, she would become the first woman to become the Intercontinental Champion, beating Jeff Jarrett at No Mercy in 1999.
A larger-than-life figure, the wrestler and actress later posed for Playboy magazine before starring in several adult films, including “She-Hulk XXX.”

She later moved to Japan to teach English.

“There’s a misconception out there in the media that I’ve become this monster,” she told Vice last year. “In the meantime, I’m just trying to get a job and live my life.”

Prince and Chyna died on the same day. My heart is hurting :( R.I.P)
