Guest bsrizpac Report post Posted May 15, 2002 Bobbitt was to take on Joey Buttafuoco in a bout scheduled to air on May 22. After his arrest, he was replaced by former WWF wrestling star Joanie Laurer, also known as Chyna. LAS VEGAS — John Wayne Bobbitt, who gained infamy after his then-wife Lorena Bobbitt was charged with cutting off his penis in 1993, has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman he married in March. Bobbitt, 35, was arrested Monday night for investigation of battery and domestic violence, said police Sgt. Chris Darcy. He was being held Tuesday night at the Clark County Detention Center on a probation violation, Darcy said. Bobbitt's wife, Joanna, told police her husband pushed her to the ground. She was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released. Her husband's arrest, first reported by Entertainment Tonight, cost him an appearance on Fox-TV's Celebrity Boxing 2 program. Bobbitt was to take on Joey Buttafuoco in a bout scheduled to air on May 22. After his arrest, he was replaced by former WWF wrestling star Joanie Laurer, also known as Chyna. Buttafuoco's wife, Mary Jo, was wounded by her husband's former "Long Island Lolita" girlfriend, Amy Fisher, in 1992. Fisher lost a spot on the first Celebrity Boxing program in March when the New York state Parole Board refused to allow her to take part. Bobbitt was thrust into the national spotlight in 1993 when his former wife was charged with cutting off his penis while he slept. Lorena Bobbitt, who argued she had been the victim of an abusive husband, was found innocent by reason of insanity. After successful surgery to reattach his penis, Bobbitt made a number of adult films. In 1997, he moved to Nevada, where he has worked in a brothel and as a bartender and tow truck operator. A Nevada judge placed Bobbitt on five years probation in 1999 after he pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 15, 2002 Jesus Christ, only in America could you get to see Joey Buttafuoco versus Chyna in a "boxing match." LOL I'm going to have to catch this just for the fact that I'll laugh my ass off. Wow, Chyna's career sure took off after she left the WWF, didn't it? ;p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bsrizpac Report post Posted May 15, 2002 sorry if it wasn't a WW E topic. I thought being Chyna and all it was close enough. My bad. As for this though, as an amateur boxer I find this news to be the greatest news story of the year! I can't wait. This is going to be so funny. I actaully think Chyna has a good chance of winning here because Buttafucker is so old and out of shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted May 15, 2002 I hate to see her wrestle....but I'd like to see her "box" NOTE: Not about boxing... Seriously...Jim Rome was just ripping on her a few minutes ago saying how nice IT was in person, and how polite IT was...but he still didn't know if IT was male or female. And they had e-mails come in...what's the differece between Chyna and John Bobbit...one had it's junk cut off...and the other is John Bobbit. But wouldn't you like to see Chyna take a whoopin...after Vince crammed her down your throat those coupld of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 15, 2002 Powell over at the Torch has a good point about this. Though Laurer will probably beat the old and flabby Joey, what if she loses? Even all the marks who loved her won't be able to buy her as a credible opponent for men anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was the woman's champion, which she never wanted to be, and she wasn't getting paid what she wanted. She was one of the more recognizable names in the wwe while she was there so to blame her I would say you are wrong. I don't know who the blame should fall on if anyone but I don't think it is her fault she isn't in the wwe anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 16, 2002 Oh yeah of course it's everyones fault except for Chyna's how foolish of me to forget that. So someone else made her demand a bigger contract then she was worth? Someone else made her for some ungodly reason think she was above wrestlings women and was good enough to only wrestle men? Someone else made her get a ego and piss people off i mean shit she even pissed on the man that trained her. Oh yeah Chyna in NO WAY at all was responsible for any of those actions. Why can't more people call someone on fucking up when that person has no one to blame but themselves. This is the same shit that still gets that piece of shit Scott Hall sympathy from idiots no matter how many times he fucks up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why can't more people call someone on fucking up when that person has no one to blame but themselves. This is the same shit that still gets that piece of shit Scott Hall sympathy from idiots no matter how many times he fucks up. First off, I don't think anyone was saying that Chyna's not responsible for her own actions. Second, I never understood this line of thinking smarks have that just because she didn't like what the WWF was planning to give her, that makes her an egomaniac. The Chyna character itself had basically lost it's novelty when they put her in the Women's division, and judging from an interview I read before her negotiations started last year, she realized this and was considering leaving anyway. And as far as her demanding "more than she's worth", I'm not gonna debate on how much she was worth, but this is how I look at it: If you're working at a company for 4 or 5 years and then suddenly they decide to decrease your salary (which is what I believe they were doing to Chyna), you're gonna be a upset about that, no matter who you are. And seeing as how she didn't have that much left to offer the WWF in the first place, leaving the fed sounds like a sound decision to me. As far as this "Chyna's hit rock bottom" thing everybody's got...I dunno. I don't know why she felt the need to do a "freak" boxing show, especially now with the stuff with New Japan. Only way I can see this benefitting her is if she knocks Joey B. out...but right now I don't think it's anytime for people to start feeling sorry for her either.

Guest Report post Posted May 16, 2002 This is from 411 about some dude who went- I went with a group of friends cuz we were getting paid. We almost didn't get it because too many people showed up, but Joanie wrestled Joey Buttafucco. I've seen her in person before and I knew she lost muscle and was more toned, but she really has no muscle anymore. But she was nice at the end and high fived everyone sitting in the front. I can't really give away the results, but she would have fared better if she had her muscles still. What was cool was before the match started (was the main event but they taped backwards so it was first) RVD came out from the backstage area onto the soundstage. He was there to see Joanie I guess cuz he left right after and did not come back. There were quite a few random RVD chants from some guys in the way back, but I was closer and I kept doing the thumbs thing. Of course, he saw me and pointed and laughed. I kept doing it and he laughed and stood up, smiled and did it for me the right way as he was straight looking at me. I thought that was cool. He kept a low profile though and they didn't point him out on camera like they did Billy Ray Cyrus (yeah, the one hit wonder country guy) when they said they had celebs in the house. Go figure.
