Chyna, aka Joanie Laurer, tragically died this week at the tender age of 44.
Before there were divas, there was Chyna—of the then WWF, now WWE, beloved by audiences everywhere. Nobody could touch her for the women’s belt, and fans loved to hold up signs saying “I’d Rather Be in Chyna.”
Many fans fear that Joanie became depressed after her long-time romance with Triple H fell apart. To make things worse, Triple H married her boss’s daughter, Stephanie MacMahon. Stephanie had the good grace to tweet a tribute to the legend:
I just heard the tragic news that @ChynaJoanLaurer has passed. She was truly a pioneer in our industry, and she will be missed. #RIPChyna

We wait to see if Triple H and Stephanie McMahon will attend the funeral.
