Andizange ndibe enkulu Umlandeli weWWE (emva koko iWWF) xa ndandisengumntwana, kodwa yayithandwa kangangokuba yayixhaphakile kuyo yonke into. Njengaye, wonke umntu wayesazi ukuba ngubani uHulk Hogan, ngubani uRowdy Roddy Piper. Kwaye xa uChyna eqhekeza kwindawo yesehlo ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1990, wonke umntu wayesazi ukuba ungubani. Ingakumbi amantombazana. Ngokudabukisayo, uJoan Laurer, umfazi osemva kweChyna, aka Wonder 9th weHlabathi, usweleke eneminyaka engama-45.
U-Laurer wafunyanwa eswelekile kwigumbi lakhe eRedondo Beach, eCalifornia ngumhlobo wakhe owayeze kumjonga. Ngokwe-CNN , ngelixa kungekho zimpawu zokudlala okungcolileyo, ukufa kwakhe kuyaphandwa kwaye kunokunxulunyaniswa nokudlula kweziyobisi.
U-Laurer wangena kwi-WWE sele efezekisile ngaphezulu kuninzi lwabantu. Ukukhula eRochester, NY, wayenobuntwana obunzima njengentombi yomzali onxila kwikhaya eligcwele yingxaki yasekhaya. Ngoku ka I-bio yakhe kwiwebhusayithi yakhe esemthethweni , Wamfumana ebaleka ngokusebenza, kwaye waqala ukwenza i-aerobics kunye nokuphakamisa iintsimbi kwindawo yokuzivocavoca ekufuphi nasekhaya. Kulapho afumana khona i-niche yakhe yokwenyani: umhlaba wokuqina.
Wafunda uLwazi lweSpanish kwiDyunivesithi yaseTampa waphumelela nge-3.9 GPA, kwaye ukongeza kwimidlalo yakhe, wayekwazi ukuthetha iilwimi ezine: IsiNgesi, iSpanish, isiJamani nesiFrentshi. U-Laurer ukwasebenza kwi-US Army ROTC nakwi Peace Corps emva kwekholeji. Kodwa kungekudala, wabuyela kwihlabathi lokomelela komzimba, ngakumbi ukhuphiswano lokomelela komzimba.
U-Laurer wayehlala enecala lokuzonwabisa naye. Kwangoko, wayengumdanisi esiswini, kodwa ukuphakama kwakhe (wayenobude obuziimitha ezi-6!) Kunye nokubaleka kwakhe, kunye nobuchule bakhe njengomdlali weqonga, kwamenza walungela indalo yobungcali.
U-Laurer waqeqeshwa noWalter ‘Killer’ Kowalski ecaleni kwamadoda kuphela, kwaye ekugqibeleni wafunyanwa nguPaul Levesque (aka Triple H) kunye noShawn Michaels (aka Heart Break Kid). Emva kokwenza amatyala kumlo wobungcali ngo-1997 njengoonogada bakaTriple H, uLaurer, ngoku owaziwa njengeChyna, waba ngundaba-mlonyeni. Ekugqibeleni waba kuphela komfazi ofanelekela iRoyal Rumble kunye neKing yeRing yeetonamenti, kunye neQela leNtshatsheli labasetyhini kuphela kunye neQela labaseTyhini elingoyiswayo kwimbali yeWWE.
Emva kweminyaka emihlanu yomlo wobungcali, waqhubeka nokujongana nezinye izihloko kwezemidlalo, zombini apha e-US naseJapan, kunye nokwenza umsebenzi wokuba ngumzekelo, umdlali weqonga, kunye nomlingisi kwifilimu yabantu abadala. Uye wabhala ingxelo ebhalwe ngobomi bakhe Ukuba Bebesazi , Apho athetha khona ngobunzima malunga nokwakha ikhondo lomsebenzi kwezolonwabo xa ungakulungelanga ukubumba okusika ababhinqileyo.
Ndikhumbula ndicinga emva kwemini apho uChyna wayeyinyani, ubomi bokwenyani Xena: Iqhawe leNkosazana . Akukho nto ngokuchasene noLucy Lawless, kodwa uChyna wayelukhuni kwaye eyinyani.
RIP, UNks Laurer. Enkosi ngokusifundisa ukuba zininzi iindlela abafazi abanokuhamba ngazo kwihlabathi.
