   Joanie Laurer aka Joanie Lee is Chyna. She is supposed to have attended the legendary Killer Kowalski's wrestling school and made her first appearance in the WWF in 1997. She had breast augmentation surgery sometime in December of 97 or  January of 98. It is mentioned because there's so much confusion circling around Chyna that keeping a trail of the changes in her appearance will help clear that confusion.  

   From Fighting Females magazine - Fall 1997 issue : "The Chyna Evolution": Joanie Lee started her pro wrestling career in 1996. She was trained in Boston by none other than the illustrious Killer Kowalski who predicted great things for her from the start. She has wrestled for the PGWA, LIWA and other independent groups. Some of her former opponents include, Christine Love, Angie Jenet and Psycho Sybil. She is in great shape and has competed in many Fitness America pageants in the past.  

   After having studied professional wrestling under the legendary "Killer" Kowalski, the muscular female decided that another one of his former students could use her assistance. Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, the student to which Kowalski measured all the rest, had been looking for someone new to accompany him ringside to watch his back. Realizing that all the men he had trusted with the job had failed him, Triple H was certainly open to the idea of allowing a female to perform the task. The two superstars immediately formed the most devastating male/female team the world of professional wrestling has ever seen. Now as the official bodyguard for D-Generation X, Chyna provides the back-up muscle for the elite group in the world of professional wrestling.
