On this day five years ago, we received the sad news that we lost “The Ninth Wonder of the World” Chyna (Joan Laurer) at the age of 46 from an alchole and drug overdose. The data of her death isn't entirely clear but this was the date the news was revealed to the world of pro-wrestling.
Chyna was one of the most memorable female names during WWF's Attitude Era, giving the male roster a run for their money. She would debut as the female bodyguard and real-life girlfriend of Hunter Hearst Helmsley before going on to become a member of the legendary D-Generation X.
