4. Chyna
The Ninth Wonder of the World had a very public split from WWE in 2001. Feeling that she should be booked on the same level of (and beat) superstars like Steve Austin, The Rock and Triple H and be paid a comparable salary Vince and company decided it was time to part ways. Chyna
would get the chance to compete with (and beat) top stars but it would be a year later and for NJPW, not WWE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8p--Vlptos That Chyna would square off with top New Japan star Masahiro Chono in a competitive match at the Toyko Dome is more an indictment of New Japans creative direction rather than a compliment of Chynas abilities as a wrestler or as a draw. Wrestling under her real name (Joanie Laurer) Chyna would pick up a victory over the legendary Jushin Thunder Liger in a tag match before the end of her excursion in the Orient. The Japanese fans and wrestlers were hesitant to Laurer, who was not believable in their eyes. Chyna left NJPW to focus on other endeavours, mainly her adult film career.
