Chyna Wants to Teach Japan a Lesson ... In English

Former WWE champ Chyna is known for a lot of things, but her brain has never been one of 'em -- until now ... maybe.

TMZ spoke with Chyna (real name Joanie Laurer) who tells us she's currently enrolled in language classes at UCLA night school and is studying to teach English as a second language to kids in Japan. 

Chyna doesn't have a job lined up yet, but tells TMZ ...  "I love TV but I'm ready to move on. I'm glad I've finally figured out what I want to do."

Good luck Chyna. At the very least, Japanese kids will learn some killer moves for the playground.

I think it would make more sense if she taught Chinese in China...

This is wonderful news. She has always enjoyed Japan and the respect she got from the people in the wrestling industry over there. Now that she's learning the language, she can go back and actually communicate with everyone. It's also nice to see her respected by anyone, so I think it's wonderful what she's doing.

She studied French, Spanish, and German in college so she can probably do it...if she's sober.

Hopefully all she teaches them is English..Chyna's favorite subjects for years from what i have read have been : drinking,druggin, and whatever else goes along with that.

I wish her the best of luck and i hope this keeps her on a path of soberity, if she is sober.

Oh, and BTW, she legally changed her name to Chyna (it is no longer Joanie Laurer) so she could keep it from WWE. ( http://www.tmz.com/2007/11/09/chyna-changes-name-tells-vince-mcmahon-to-bring-it/ )
