To all the wrestling fans on here Joanie CHYNA Laurer has passed away, she was only 45 so sad.
Anyone who watched wrestling in the late 1990's early 2000's will certainly understand how big a loss this is to the wrestling world. First women to hold a Man's division title and really just a freak of nature type of athlete.
Too bad the drugs got a hold of her and led her down the wrong path.
RIP... to be honest wrestling (not the greco-roman type) has taking great toll on every participators body, and if they have some substance abuse issues with it then it just a true killer combination. Not so many happy ending stories coming out about professional wrestlers once they retired.

Yeah it really is a sad ending most f the time with these men and women of professional wrestling. The list is too long to type out the amount of performers who were killed or killed themselves due to pain killers/drug abuse due to the rigorous schedule and taxing on there bodies night in night out. people don't realize they do shows almost every other night in some fashion and it's got to take its toll at some point.
Yeah I saw about her on facebook earlier! Can't say I have ever been a fan of any form of fake wrestling but I knew who she was and that's something considering I hate this "sport".
I agree with you guys, steroid and performance enhancing drugs abuse is pretty sad considering most people who do these things die before the age of 60 years old... It's just not worth it. But I'm pretty sure they knew this wasn't good for their body!
