11. Joanie Laurer (aka Chyna)

Though Joanie first rose to prominence in the professional wrestling promotion the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) back in 1997, where she performed under the ring name Chyna, this muscle-packed lady also tried her luck in pornographic industry.

Laurer made her porn debut with the video cleverly titled “1 Night in China.” She and Sean Waltman approached Red Light District Video to distribute the homemade video, which ended up being officially released in 2004. The flick also met its sequel in 2009 called “Another Night in China.”

In 2011, Chyna starred in her first professional pornographic film for Vivid Video entitled “Backdoor to Chyna,“ (starting to sense a theme here). She also made her appearance in “Vivid as She-Hulk,” a parody of “The Avengers,” released in May 2012.
