Joanie Laurer, better known as Chyna, came to prominence at the rise of the WWF's Attitude Era in 1997, becoming the promotion's first female enforcer in D-Generation X. She was a two-time WWF Intercontinental Champion and a one-time WWF Women's Champion. She left the company in 2001, after which she wrestled sporadically until 2011. She died of an accidental drug overdose in 2016 at the age of 46.

Rob Potylo aka Robbie Roadsteamer joined us in the studio for a fun and lively session as we covered a myriad of topics. As a producer of the recently released documentary about former WWE Wrestling star Joanie Laurer, known to most as "Chyna", Rob shared a lot of stories about his relationship with his former roommate and departed star. We also spoke about Rob's successful Boston based reality show, Quiet Desperation, and his move to Los Angeles, and his ongoing comedy career, including an appearance on the Gong show.

Joanie Laurer was many things in her lifetime, but I guess what everyone that throws their hat into the ring hopes--in the end--she was an entertainer.

11/4/2018 Chyna, the eighth wonder of the world. Joanie Laurer, human being in search of an identity.  This is the story Vince Russo tells about his friend as Matt and Vince go through her storied career and Vince talks about the first time he laid eyes on her to the very last times he talked to her, shortly before her untimely and tragic death. What made her so great in wrestling? What made wrestling so bad for her? No rock is unturned and no words are left unsaid, as Vince Russo covers the life and times of his friend Joanie Laurer this week on Truth With Consequences!

Just wait until you hear the crazy details about the show. Delores O’Riordan, lead singer for the Irish alternative band The Cranberries, just arrived in the Next World. We give you the scoop on her new existence.

We now know why Joanie Laurer, known as Chyna in her professional wrestling days, wasn’t at the party welcoming Robert Guillaume to the Shakespearean acting company they both now work for. Her excuse of tending to a “personal matter” wasn’t true. You’ll be surprised when you hear the real reason. Stanley Kubrick has finally premiered his new movie, Obsessive Behavior. Some are calling it a masterpiece while others say it’s unwatchable. We’ll give you the details on the much-delayed film.

It's someone we've featured recently on the Report. Joanie Laurer, known as Chyna when she wrestled on the Earthly Plane, recently starred in a stage production of The Taming Of The Shrew. She received critical acclaim for her performance but the accolades seem to have gone to her head. The company has brought someone in deal with her bizarre demands. We'll tell you who that someone is. A formerly popular Afterlife reality TV show has been canceled suddenly. Which show is it and why did the producers shut down productions?

Abe Lincoln is calling his wife's bluff. Whitney Houston has threatened to divorce Honest Abe if he becomes an MMA fighter. So far, the former president refuses to give up his dream. We also now know who is scheduled to be his first opponent...and it's a name you'll definitely recognize. The feud between Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy has gone before the judge on a TV courtroom show. Tammy Faye Bakker has ruled on whether the two can continue to imitate each other. You'll be shocked when you hear the outcome of the case. The new sit-com starring Herve Villechaize and Nell Carter has hit the Next World airwaves. Is it a miserable failure as I predicted or a hit? The answer may not be what you expect. Former professional wrestler Joanie Laurer, known as Chyna, has taken the stage in the female lead of The Taming Of The Shrew. The reviews are in. Did the man-sized Laurer embarrass herself in the feminine role (as many expected)? You'll find out.

We get a continuation of the profile in Death of Chyna aka Joanie Laurer, the groundbreaking female wrestler known as the 8th Wonder of the World in WWE, who died at age 45.

This week, JC discusses the loss of Joanie Laurer, better known as Chyna and how he feels about WWE's handling of the news. From there, he goes over some wrestling news from around the majors, and talks briefly about IWF in Brockport, NY.WNY Standout, "Maverick" Matt Milan calls in and talks wrestling and photography with JC. A good time. Listen in!

The first of three big arrivals in the Next World this past week was Prince. He got a huge greeting to his new existence. Who was the surprise guest in the crowd and what was the shock he had in store for the Purple One that made him cry? You'll be shocked when you hear. The second high-profile celeb to arrive in the Afterlife was Joanie Laurer, better known as the wrestler Chyna. She too had a surprise waiting for her and it's one that will make her a first in Next World history. Then actress Doris Roberts made her entrance. Like Prince and Chyna, the veteran sit-com star didn't have to wait long to be offered a new job. You'll be surprised when you hear who offered it to her and why she didn't recognize the famous star on sight. Which star of an Afterlife reality show is hated by its audience? Viewers say the feel this very famous person episode a phony who is lying about being in love with their co-star. You may be shocked when you hear who it is.

The gang is back together! Geoffrey Wessel, Chris Damasceno and Steve Cash manage to all get together on one afternoon at the same time for the first time in a while to discuss all things New Japan Pro Wrestling. In this episode, we cover the unfortunate events of the earthquake at Kumamoto & Wrestling Hinokuni cancellation due to it along with the passing of Joanie Laurer (formerly known as Chyna), who up until last year was the only woman to have ever wrestled under the NJPW banner. After that, we cover the results and aftermath of Invasion Attack, which leads into Wrestling Dontaku talk along with some predictions. To cap it off, we talk the upcoming ROH/NJPW Global Wars events and about good ol' J.R.'s performance as the play-by-play on "NJPW on AXS" so far.
