Now, here are the highlights:
Joanie Laurer
- She first talked about her name
being changed to The Chynna Doll
because of WWE’s rights to the name
Chyna. She said she has discovered
that you can’t own a name. “People
know me by Chyna…so, The Chynna Doll
it is”.
- Desperation was her reasoning behind
taking that next step and pursuing
something with her love for music. It
wasn’t on her part, though. Every
since she was little, she loved all
kinds of music and she’s always
wanted play an instrument. When she
left wrestling, she thought she wanted
to do movies, so she went to L.A. and
made a couple, but she realized that
unless it was some major project that
she was into, she didn’t really like
the format of being on a set all day.
She’s used to having a storyline to
follow, but being able to improvise in
front of large crowds, so the movie
industry wasn’t as upbeat as she had
expected.
- She’s hoping her reputation in
wrestling will attract that following
to go out and buy the CD. During her
time as a wrestler, she was a very
responsible person and always worked
hard. Maybe too hard, because a lot of
it passed her by without really
knowing what she was doing.
- Changing topics and focusing on her
recent situation with ex-fiancé, Sean
Waltman a.k.a. X’Pac, she says it
has been really, really hard. One of
the reasons she fell in love with Sean
is because what you see on the outside
isn’t always the case. Perception is
reality, she says and part of being a
star is the perception. “It’s a
show”.
- She doesn’t regret going on
Celebrity Justice and hopefully it
will set the record straight. She
wants people to know that she loves
Sean, and that’s that. “Besides,
he wouldn’t ever try to kill me
because I would kick his ass,
right”? “And he knows this, so
give a girl a break. I was just in a
bad mood that day”.
- When asked why she brought it to the
public’s attention in the first
place, she responded by saying that
she’s a very private person. She
loves to go out and have a good time,
entertaining, dancing, and dressing
up, but she’s not one that needs to
go to a court to get publicity. When
she did that at a certain point for
whatever reasons that she doesn’t
need to explain, she was trying to put
something on record that would
eventually set it straight. She had no
idea that friends would be calling
telling her they saw her on Celebrity
Justice or that she would be reading
about it in the globe. Those things
hurt her and it hurt Sean, and now
they have to go back and fix things.
It sucks. She should write a song
about.
- She is good with her though and she
doesn’t regret it. She not a
vindictive person, she’s honest, she
doesn’t want to take from people,
and she doesn’t go grocery shopping
in leather shorts and body slam guys.
Sean is a man of great conviction with
his own superb qualities and it was
wrong the way it came out and that is
what’s not right.
- She dropped the restraining order
because when the incident broke loose,
she realized what good it did and she
wasn’t doing this to get her face
out there. They’re just dropping it.
- As far as the WWE goes, she
doesn’t get to watch it. She feels
that they did her wrong, but she never
closed the door on them. If she did
ever come back, she doesn’t think
she could wrestle the women. It
wouldn’t make sense.
- She wasn’t aware that Stephanie
McMahon and Triple H had gotten
engaged, and when the hosts mentioned
it to her, she responded with a
“good for them”. She doesn’t
have any words of advice for
Stephanie, but if they are going down
road, it must be the real thing! (Riiight)
