Joanie Laurer may have had her fair share of personal problems and difficulties over the past few years since walking away from the industry in 2001, but there was a time when the 'Ninth Wonder Of The World' was one of the biggest attractions the then-WWF had under contract. Never the best actual in-ring worker, Chyna still had limitless appeal, and there was a curious amount of interest to be gleaned from watching her beat up the male population on the roster. Pretty much from the off, Chyna was programmed against men, only really stopping to pay attention to the Women's Title shortly before she departed the company. Since that time, Laurer has shown up briefly in TNA and made the jump into pornography, something which has definitely not helped her case for being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame at some point. Worse yet, her relationship with Triple H is far from amicable - feeling her thoughts and feelings as a woman scorned (Triple H elected to enter a relationship with Stephanie McMahon whilst allegedly still with Chyna) were not taken into consideration, Chyna has said that she didn't really ever think she was taken seriously enough in the WWF because of her gender.
