First of all, I just wanna thank all you guys for visiting my page, I hope you like it! Anyway, this is what I think of Joanie (or should I say Chyna).
I remember when Chyna first entered the WWF.... and she entered with style! It was at a "In Your House" event in February 1997, when suddenly Chyna appeared from the crowd and attacked Marlena! Noone knew who this woman was, until the next night on RAW when HHH appeared with Chyna, announcing to the world that Chyna was his new bodyguard. At first, I didn't like her. I just thought she was "different" from all the other females. Different in a bad way. She just seemed evil and vicious, and I didn't like her at all. But twords the end of 1997, I got a differnt outlook on Chyna. I began to RESPECT her power and strength, and I began to RESPECT her attitude twords the other male wreslters... and I liked it. But notice the word I put in caps .. 'RESPECT'. That's all Joanie wanted, and finally I was able to give it to her! So I have really been a fan since around January 1998.
Then I got to read some stories about her personal life, and what Joanie was really like outside of the wrestling business, and I thought she was a brave woman! I admired her for overcoming her upbringing in a dysfunctional family, and how she was able to travel around the world as a teenager, and still survive on her own at the same time. But it seems that she was born to entertain, she always made people laugh when she was a kid, and she still does today! The fans love to hear her talk on TV, because that is something that she rarley ever does, and when she does talk, she always has something interesting to say. One of my favourite memories of her talking was her date with Mark Henery... she was so funny!
She is also a great role model, because she has been though so much in life,and has accomplised so much, without taking the easy way out , like, doing drugs or that sort of thing. Shes certainly a role model to me anyway. I think the main thing we have in common is our sence of humour. I was born to make people laugh, and Joanie was born to do the same. I've read so much about her that I sometimes think of her as "the friend I've never met", and it's hard to believe that she dosent even know I exist, because I feel like I know her already. In reality though, I would really LOVE to meet her someday.
