Jan LaQue, the mother of the late Joanie “Chyna” Laurer, took to Facebook to make an impassioned plea for the WWE to finally induct her daughter into the Hall of Fame. Here’s what she had to say:
As many of you know, yesterday would have been Joanie’s (Chyna’s) birthday. I truly appreciate all of the messages and rememberances of her that were posted by so many of you. As you can imagine, it’s always a very sad day for me. But it helps a lot to know how many people remember her and loved her. It’s one of the worst things in the world to lose a child. We HAVE to get her into the WWE hall of fame. She richly deserves to be there. WWE – LISTEN UP and do what’s right for Chyna!! You owe her that for what she did for you and women’s wrestling. She earned her place there. And it’s long overdue.
Although most feel that her credentials are more than Hall of Fame worthy, the WWE has been hesitant to induct her in the past due to her decision to make adult films following her WWE release. Time will tell if the WWE has a change of heart.
