#76: Chyna

Real Name: Joan Marie Laurer
Biggest Fan: Barry M. Reardon

"The Ninth Wonder of the World" Chyna is well-known now for being an original member of the revolutionary D-Generation X stable in 1997. But Laurer was such a sought-after commodity (a 5'10", 180-pound female wrestler trained by the legendary Killer Kowalski) that she could have easily signed anywhere she wanted. She had a standing offer from WCW to become a member of the NWO, as well, in fact.

As far as superstars go, male or female, Chyna's credentials speak for themselves: A three-time Intercontinental Champion, former WWF Women's Champion, King of the Ring qualifier and the first woman to ever compete in the Royal Rumble. Any man would be happy to have as impressive a list of professional wrestling accomplishments to their credit.

Sadly, Chyna's career after her four-year run in the WWF hasn't been quite as successful, and it's been marred with personal scandal, including an arrest in 2005 for beating the crap out of her boyfriend (#100 on this list, the 1-2-3 Kid, which is probably why she ranks so much higher here than he does). But after a long hiatus, just this month she made her return to the ring as Kurt Angle's tag team partner and business associate in TNA. There may be more chapters yet to be written in this superstar career.
