Former WWE superstar wrestler Chyna is recovering from an episode of fainting spells that landed her in hospital.

Chyna, whose real name is Joan Marie Laurer, was attending an adult film convention in Miami, Fla., when she passed out near the entrance of the convention on Saturday, the third time in three days. She was taken to Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach where she was treated and later released.

She was attending the 2012 Exxxotica Expo to support and promote her new film from Vivid Entertainment which was an adult movie parody of the recent box office hit, "The Avengers."

Local media reports described that the first known report of her fainting started Thursday while she was at a party. Sources said that she was behaving erratically and fainted while she was in a pool. Reports also indicate that she was later expelled from the party.

The party was at the Catalina Hotel in Miami and insiders explained that she caused a disturbance when she entered the pool in the buff with a friend. She later passed out in the pool and was then taken back to her room to rest.

A representative for Vivid Entertainment stated that after being taken to the hospital she was recovering and feeling much better.

Chyna rose to fame as a leading lady in the popular WWE from 1997 until she left in 2001. She was involved with another big name in WWE Paul "Triple H" Levesque.

But the pair had an abrupt end when it was rumored that he was cheating on her with Stephanie McMahon, the daughter of President Vince McMahon. The two would eventually get married after Chyna left in 2003.

Chyna is considered one of the best female wrestlers of all time and is still the only female to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, a feat which she accomplished twice.
