CHYNA IN "DUNDEE TIMES"

Wrestling legend Chyna The 9th Wonder of the World is featured in the Dundee Times with a recap of her appearance at the Scotish Wrestling Federation's Hell for Lycra event and her meet and greet in Dundee. Fans packed the Caird Arena to see Chyna who had not stepped into a wrestling ring in over half a decade. It was truly a historic night for fans.

FRANK MCKLUSKY CI AIRDATE

Chyna's comedy movie, Frank McKlusky CI will be airing on October 20th at 9:00pm and November 1 at 10:30pm on Starz.

Chyna plays the role of Freeda a menacing gatekeeper of the company’s classified files with a very unique fashion sense.

"The best part in playing Freeda is I happen to love costumes and makeup. In this movie, I get to wear every kind of costume and imitate celebrities very badly. I wear a little Madonna outfit, the famous Jennifer Lopez dress and the Catwoman outfit, amongst other very horrible outfits." Chyna told Entertainment Tonight many years ago when talking about the movie.

The story of an insurance claims investigator who takes his job a little too seriously. As a child Frank (Dave Sheridan) watched his daredevil father wipe out in a horribly-conceived motorcycle stunt, and since then, Frank's developed an unhealthy aversion to any kind of risk: he lives with his parents, wears a helmet everywhere he goes, and lives his life strictly by the rules. When his partner is killed in the line of duty, Frank's forced to come out of his shell to crack the case.

VINTAGE MUSCLE MAGAZINE

Check out these old school pictures of Chyna from a Vintage muscle magazine in 1996. These powerful poses were taken before Chyna was an internationally known super star in the world of wrestling. Although she had been in entertainment for 4 years at this time, it would be another year before the entire world knew who Chyna was.

CHYNA IN UK'S COURIER NEWSPAPER

Chyna made a splash in the UK last month at the Scottish Wrestling Entertainment's Hell for Lycra event as she came out to a packed crowd who chanted "Hall of Fame" and "Thank you Chyna". Now Chyna is featured in UK's Courier newspaper with a review of the event.

"Home-grown grapplers from the Scottish Wrestling Entertainment (SWE) lined up alongside Chyna, Colt Cabana and the British stars from ITV’s World of Sport in the 1970s and 1980s.
Legendary Dundee wrestler George Kidd was also inducted into Scottish wrestling’s hall of fame during the showcase spectacular with a tribute from veteran grappler Len Ironside.
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star Chyna – real name Joan Marie Laurer – was special guest at SWE’s Hell for Lycra XII in front of a packed Caird Hall.

The legendary Caird Hall venue has a rich history of wrestling dating back to heavyweight Bert Assirati topping the bill before and after the Second World War.
Former world lightweight wrestling champion George Kidd was cheered on to victory dozens of times in the Caird Hall, while Primo Carnera also grappled there.
In 1959 Dundee’s Dave Kidney beat George Allan in front of 2,000 fans to win the BWA British Featherweight Championship.

PHOTOS: INSIDE THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CHYNA DOCUMENTARY

DIRECTOR ERIK ANGRA ON THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CHYNA DOCUMENTARY

Erik Angra, the director of Chyna's new documentary The Reconstruction of Chyna recently spoke with wrestledelphia.com about what Chyna is really like how the project got started. Below are some highlights from his interview.

When asked about what made him get involved with Chyna in this film, Erik noted Rob Potylo, who is the producer on this had worked with Jimmy Hart on another film decided to get in contact with Chyna's manager Anthony to find out if she was interested in doing the film.

"We were just so amazed about her entire life story. Here was a women who grew up and was going to be an FBI agent, went away from that and her family’s wishes, and was able to make it as a women in a very male-dominated industry. Then she worked her way up only to be brought down in her prime and later belittled by the media. So I became very interested in her story because I felt that she wasn’t treated fairly. Celebrities often aren’t.

Once I met her, I realized how genuine, honest, and intelligent she was. I had never known she earned a Masters Degree or the stuff she was doing in Japan, such as teaching English. She speaks five languages. She is very cultured; very smart."

When asked about why Chyna went to the WWE Headquarters and what she hoped to accomplish Erik made it clear Chyna is not attempting to go in for just publicity but want to make amends with the company once and for all.

"Well, I actually didn’t go in the building with her. So I can’t really say who she may or may not have met with. All I know is that Chyna went in there looking to make amends. No, cameras weren’t allowed in. What happened inside the office won’t appear in the documentary because, one, we didn’t have permission, and two, the cameras weren’t in the building. We have her on tape going in and coming back out, and that will be mentioned in the documentary. She was just there to make amends.

Not that everything was all her fault, though. Everything is always two sided in relationships. I’m not trying to say that she’s trying to apologize and all that kind of stuff. She’s just trying to go in there and make amends with people and sit down and have a conversation"

When asked about why he felt the WWE and Triple H would not put Chyna into the Hall of Fame Erik said he felt there were bigger reasons then both the WWE and Triple H had mentioned. He said her work with Vivid, he felt was not the primary reason.

"In running the company, I think Hunter is trying to be as politically correct as he can when talking to people in the press. Obviously, there was this very serious relationship that ended in a very serious way, and I think that needs to be settled between them. They never really got closure in a proper way and I think that is part of it. I can’t really speculate on what his actual reason is as to why Chyna is not in the WWE, because all he mentioned was the Goggle searches. But I think we can all assume that with the way their relationship ended that there might be something more there.”

She deserves to be in there. There’s been comments on why she shouldn’t be. But one could look at a lot of other wrestlers and at their pasts. Google them and you’ll see a lot of terrible things. So I’m not sure it’s a really valid argument to use her past as a reason that she shouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame.

This alluring, dark-haired beauty is an accomplished actress known as Chyna who got her start in the World Wrestling Federation. She convinced millions of fans that she typified the mythical Amazon woman and was dubbed "The Ninth Wonder of the World", treading where no woman had gone before. Indeed, Chyna is an amazing woman with a commanding presence and loyal following who has overcome obstacles and has emerged victorious from life's never-ending challenges.

Before the lights, cameras, contracts, and headlines, before worldwide recognition, Chyna began her life in suburban, middle class Rochester, New York. Her household was beset by alcoholism and domestic disputes. She sought refuge and release through weight lifting and aerobics. This is where Chyna found her niche in the world of fitness. As the only female in the gym Chyna always stood out, but developed bonds and friendships with the local gym members that gave her the encouragement to keep going in the world of fitness.

She broke all gender barriers everywhere she went and continued her love of fitness throughout her college days. Chyna graduated from the University of Tampa with a 3.9 GPA and a double major in Spanish Literature in under two years. She has also studied forgien languages and can speak English, Spanish, German and French.

Chyna is a true humanitarian. Chyna served in the ROTC and she appreciates diverse cultures and has developed her communication skills by working for organizations such as US AID, The Organization of American States, The Peace Corps and most recently the Latter Day Saints Church in Japan.

Throughout her life Chyna always dreamed of being an entertainer. Chyna began her career in the early 90's as a belly dancer and soon moved on to fitness competitions but found her true calling in professional wrestling. She began training to be a professional wrestler under the guidance of Killer Kowalski in a school of all men. Chyna soon took the world of women's wrestling by storm and began competiting in the PGWA where she was named the 1996 rookie of the year and won the women's championship.

After dominating the world of women's wrestling Chyna made her world wide television debut in February 1997 and she soon went on to break all gender stereotypes by competing with some of the toughest men in the World Wrestling Federation. Chyna would go on to smash barriers by becoming only woman to qualify for the Royal Rumble and King of the Ring tournaments and became the only female Intercontinental Champion and the only undefeated WWF women's champion in history.

After spending many years in the WWF Chyna moved on to make history again by being the first woman in the history of New Japan Professional Wrestling Company to not only participate in their events, but by fighting the number-one male wrestler in Japan in front of 63,000 people at the Tokyo Dome, and millions watching at home. Chyna competed for the New Japan world title and tag team titles. This feat was simply unheard of in Japan. Her 2002 Tokyo Dome match against Masahero Chono earned her the title of Nikkian Sport's 2002 Women's Wrestler of the Year.

Chyna has always shown that women don't have to fit traditional stereotypes to be feminine and sexy. Her two appearances on the cover of Playboy Magazine resulted in two of the top ten best-sellers of all time. Showing strength, femininity, intelligence and sex appeal, this magazine was supported by men and women both young and old. Chyna discussed her experience in detail in her Playboy video/DVD documentary and shared behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive celebrity interviews. Chyna's amazing physique has led her to the catwalk in New York City's fashion week extravaganzas, representing Lane Bryant and Los Angeles Celebrity Cat Walk For Charity, representing New Leash on Life Animal Rescue. Even though Chyna's physique is nothing typical, her attitude of self-confidence and self-assurance is quite a positive appeal to mainstream America.

Her fitness video More Than Meets the Eye is still today a popular exercise video among fitness buffs and fans alike. The video focuses on Chyna's true roots in health and fitness and her quest for the real Wonder Woman physique.

In her best selling autobiography If They Only Knew, she discussed what it took to make it to the top and showed the world what she had overcome in her life to make her one of the most well known pop culture icons in the world. Many years later she released a coffee table book called, Paper Doll which featured poems, and high fashion photos of Chyna. The book would go on to reach number 4 on the Barnes and Nobel's Best Seller's List.

Chyna's appeal is worldwide. She has appeared on virtually every prominent talk and radio show. Featured in hundreds of magazines, Chyna has been seen on everything from TV Guide to Newsweek to Iron Man and Playboy.

This variety exists throughout her acting career, as well. Chyna has hosted a variety of shows, displaying her eclectic and vibrant personality in such shows as Robot Wars, AMC Classic Theatre, E! TV and many others internationally. Comedy seems to be a natural through her appearances on Mad TV and Third Rock From the Sun and in movies like Illegal Aliens, The Cougar Club and Frank McKlusky CI; however, there is nothing funny about Chyna's ability for butt-kicking action, as she has demonstrated on numerous shows like Tracker, Relic Hunter and feature films like Hunter Back in Force, Romp and Alien Fury. Chyna has additionally appeared on numerous reality shows such as Surreal Life, Fame Games and Celebrity Rehab.

Chyna has been featured on Reggie Benjamin's CD 2X-Centrix, performing drums and back up vocals. The CD single Ride reached number 5 on the Billboard Dance Music Charts. Shortly after she formed her own rock band named The Chynna Dolls and performed concerts the The Roxy, Elrey Theater, Hollywood Athletic Center and two performances on the Howard Stern Show. She also worked with the bands Love Child and Seven Dust appearing in music videos for the bands.

Despite much success in the entertainment world, Chyna was troubled by past relationships and abuse. After releasing 4 top selling films with Vivid Entertainment including Backdoor to Chyna and She Hulk and winning the Fleshbot Cross Over Award Chyna left the United States after finding herself batteling many demons resulting from many traumas of her past.

After hitting rock bottom, she ended up on her feet in Japan. Teaching foreign language for three and a half years while meditating, doing yoga, and getting her life together. In 2015 she came back to the United States to redeem herself and reclaim her identity.

She has begun a world wide media tour which started in New York with several appearances on Sirus Radio, Vice Sports, Inside Edge TV and she is now appearing at Collector Shows and conventions and she films her journey for her new documentary The Reconstruction of Chyna which is set for release in late 2016, early 2017.

All characters that great actors portray are limited creations and not real. They come and go. On the other hand, Chyna, the actress, model, wrestler, author, intellectual and humanitarian is boundless. She will contribute to her art, society, and flourish through life. Chyna the role model is not a fantasy. Chyna is a real heroine for all ages.

INDUCT CHYNA INTO THE WWE HALL OF FAME

“The purpose of this petition is to support an international grassroots campaign to have former WWE superstar Chyna inducted into WWE’s prestigious Hall of Fame.

Immediately upon her debut in February 1997, Chyna was dubbed the “Ninth Wonder of the World,” a one-of-a-kind mix of villain and fan favorite with a purely unmatched display of domination. More than just an impressive physique, Chyna had a naturally commanding presence and rare ability to go toe-to-toe with some of wrestling’s most legendary male performers including Mankind, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, and Jeff Jarrett. A female actively competing with men (and winning) was something the wrestling industry had never seen before.

In October 1999 at WWF’s No Mercy, Chyna defeated Jeff Jarrett to win the Intercontinental Championship and made the leap from competitor to bonafide icon. In WWE’s 35 year history, Chyna is still the only female to hold the Intercontinental Championship.

Apart from that record-making accomplishment, Chyna is also the first female to compete in the Royal Rumble match or qualify for the King of the Ring tournament and the only female to be named the #1 contender for the biggest prize in sports entertainment: the WWE Heavyweight Championship.”

With a detailed history facing men in the ring it's easy to forget that Chyna was also an undefeated Women's Champion, having battled remarkable female performers such as Ivory, Molly Holly and Hall of Famer's like Lita and Trish Stratus.

All in all, we understand the criticisms and hesitation to induct her into the Hall of Fame. Despite this, we want WWE to know that the Chyna we remember is a woman who defied stereotypes and created a legacy that is as fresh and curious as the day she left in 2001... Read more...
