Joanie "Chyna" Laurer was an ENGLISH TEACHER?!?
« on: April 22, 2016, 11:34:28 AM »
Okay not to side track from the recent death of Prince.  That was a major shock for me this morning as I woke up, but I read last night that Joanie "Chyna" Laurer, of WWF/WWE fame was an English teacher in Japan for 3 years!!!  I wonder if she was teaching children or adults.  Would have been amazing if she came to Korea.  But I don't know if anyone would hire her here considering she also used to do porn.

I'm curious if anyone on the Japan blogs got wind of her there and if anyone knew her personally.  The girl looks like she had a lot of pain.  Well sadly she doesn't need to suffer anymore.

And NO I'm not a big wrestling fanatic.  I used to watch in the early 90s and late 90s when it was all the rage.  So please save your "watching wrestling is the lowest form of entertainment someone can watch" arguments for some other thread.   :rolleyes:

Yup she was, lol. I'm an avid WWE fan from the 90s through now, and I remember when I first found out, I was shocked. Glad for her that she found peace in something...it's a shame she passed so young.

Yes Johnny Russian...I knew that too.  Which makes me wonder more about chupacaubrey's response.  So life after ESL gives you hope to be a wrestler, porn star, or early death  :huh:

There's an nfl draftee currently teaching in Korea too, can't remember his name though.

You'd be surprised at how many famous/influential people once taught EFL/ESL. Most of them did the gig pre-fame and pre-megabucks though.

An NFL Draftee to teach in Korea now?  Wow I'm curious as to who this is too.  And yeah waygoOk it makes more sense to be doing it pre-fame.  But Post fame??? Ummm seems like a very odd choice.  That's why I'm wondering how did that interview process go down...

"So we see here you used to be a wrestler for the WWE and you were employed by Vivid."  I guess it is easier to get a job in Japan than it is Korea if they have lax background checks.

I'm guessing they won't know.  You were a promoter for WWE instead of being a wrestler.  You worked for your uncle Hector instead of being a porn star.  How would they know.  (Though I still can't understand the complete lack of self respect someone would have by choosing to do porn.  Guess she was addicted to drugs and pain killers though so gotta raise cash somehow.)

She went to Japan because she wanted to get away from drugs and being in the public eye. I think it helped her a lot, she was completely out of the news for those 2-3 years. It all started going downhill again after she went back to the US.
Wrestling and porn. The two industries most well known for using up preformers and spitting them out the other side. She never had a chance.

I've heard plenty of people say this.  It's considered "redneck" entertainment.  Even though I know plenty of POC who grew up and watched it too.  And Zola I couldn't agree more.  You think someone would put Vince McMahon (sp?) to task over this by helping secure better retirement/rehabilitation programs but with the body count soo high in that industry, I don't see how anyone would want to become a wrestler and not feel that they are flirting with death.  Even the NFL (American football league) realized early on they had a problem when ex football players were ending up homeless or dead at an early age.  That's why they started the Player Association to try and combat these problems.  I even read recently that "Superfly" Jimmy Sunka was on hard times now.

I agree with Archeon.  It is nothing wrong with a consenting adult woman enjoying passionate moments whether it be in privacy, on video, etc.

As much as the next guy.  Doesn't mean I want to strip away my dignity and do it all day on Viagra in front of a TV in a greasy studio.  I'd still like to be able to face my family during the holidays and folks in my hometown without thinking of me as a complete failure.  I mean really, do you go home and say "Mom, I'm a porn star!"  Does a woman go home and say "Dad, I'm a porn star!"  Most of us could anticipate our parents disappointment with our failure and complete lack of dignity and lack of self respect. Most of us would never be able to face them again.  It's why we're doing ESL and other things instead of all choosing to get it on in front of a camera.   

Most girls who get into it come from foster homes, broken homes, were run aways, have drug problems, etc.  They get pulled into it really.  The truth is an inconvenient thing.  Doesn't mean I seek to ban the industry or anything like that.  But understand where it comes from and what fuels it.  (A few might do it for kicks or to rebel against ultra strict hyper conservative parents perhaps.)
