Chyna Changes Name, Tells McMahon to "Bring It!"

Posted Nov 9th 2007 9:35AM by TMZ Staff

Wrestling trainwreck Chyna has legally changed her name and wants to kick her former boss' ass!


Only TMZ was at a Burbank courthouse when the former Joan Marie Laurer celebrated her new moniker. Now it's just Chyna, bitch!
Chyna: Click to watchThe muscle-flexing diva used the occasion to challenge Vince McMahon -- head honcho at World Wrestling Entertainment and former owner of the Chyna brand name -- to meet her in the ring:

"Do I want to go back to get abused by you and get punched in the head every day and have people not stand up for me besides the fans? No. Would I like to go back for one day representing myself and all these people to kick your ass and your ass only? Cause you are the boss, right Vince? Then I would love to do it. You know my number. You know where I live, obviously. And you know my name. Bring it, Vince!"

Only Chyna puts Chyna in a corner!

18. UH.. how is this standing up for herself? Changing her birth name to the name of a character that Vince created for her??? Okay, sounds like she needs a reality check.

19. Seriously, it's been like six years since she left the company...who really cares?

20. Well the name change didn't work for the wrestler "Ultimate Warrior"Jim Hellwig (now calls legally calls himself Warrior). He couldn't regain any of his work done in the WWE with a simple name change. Vince still owns all the rights. Joanie, you are all kinds of crazy ..... movie on!

22. I am happy for her. Sure, McMahon helped to create the "Chyna" image but she was the one who brought it to life by putting her ass in the ring. Whenever someone says the name Chyna, who do you think comes to mind? That is how her career got started.

Because Vince didn't want to relinquish hold over the name, this put Chyna in limbo both professionally and personally. And to whoever said the WWF(E) paid for her plastic surgery -give me a break. Vince was helping himself out also.

I would love to see her kick Vince's ass but it will never happen. He would probably take the bait and then have Chyna ambushed backstage or onstage by some goon squad. Remember people, wrestlers are not only characters in the ring, they are also human beings when the lights go off. They feel real pain just like the rest of us - physically and emotionally.

26. Ok... Yeah what they did to her at WWE was messed up.. But... have you seen the wack job she has become? I know Vince didnt have that much power over her to make her that wacko!

27. Chyna is no prize - she's a cuckoo as that priest stalking Conan O'Brien, BUT Vince McMahon is a force that needs to be stopped. He has turned professional wrestling into something dangerous, ugly, inappropriate, shall I go on? Good for Chyna for telling Vince to bring it. I hope she, or someone, truly kicks his a** one day soon. He is irresponsible and only cares about money - he does not care about the health and well-being of the professional wrestlers who make him so much money. He's greedy and disgusting.

For the person who posted about Chyna biting that hand that fed her... you must be one of those wrestling nerds. Seriously, Vince McMahon does NOT care about his wrestlers - he only cares about money. He would whore out his own daughter to make a buck (actually, he practically already has). He doesn't even pay health insurance for the athletes on his roster. He's just a pig.
