Full Debra McMichael Biography
Originally appearing in wrestling as the "Queen of WCW", Debra is a former Miss Texas USA and Miss Illinois American champion. Debra eventually married ex-Chicago Bears Professional Football player Steve "Mongo" McMichael. When Mongo entered World Championship Wrestling (WCW), so did Debra. While in WCW, Debra was - in my opinion - misused and only there to Steve McMichael to help get him over with the fans.
After a period of time, Debra switched men and went over with Jeff Jarrett who had left the WWF only to return a short time later. A short time before the Halloween Havoc Pay-Per-View, Jeff Jarrett left WCW to return once again to the WWF. This left Debra without a man to escort to the ring. At the PPV, Debra brought her new man out to fight Mongo - Alex Wright. This also was a short-lived duo. Alex fired Debra a few weeks later and she seemed like she just disappeared from the world of wrestling all together.
Just when we thought we would never see Debra again she appears at the side of Jeff Jarrett on RAW.
Now, with her new career in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Debra McMichael has had a chance to show us all what she can really do. What a change from her WCW days! Instead of carrying around a bouquet of flowers, wearing a long gown, and being the "Queen of the WWF", Debra has a "go out there and get it" attitude, and is now considered one of the best manager/valets that are currently active in the wrestling business.
Recently, the duo of Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart (who of course, are managed by Debra) won the Tag Team championships from Ken Shamrock and the Big Bossman. This team haven't been together long and already accomplished a goal that all tag teams want to do…become the Tag Team Champions! Good luck to Debra, Jeff, and Owen in the future! |

Additional Debra McMichael Biography
Debra Gale Marshall (born March 2, 1960 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama) is an American Actress and former professional wrestling manager and WWE Diva. She is best known by her ring name, Debra. She is perhaps best known for her appearances with World Wrestling Entertainment between 1998 and 2002. Before becoming involved in wrestling, Debra was a beauty pageant participant, winning the runner-up for Miss Texas USA in 1984.
During this time, Debra bickered with Woman. Mongo and Chris Benoit frequently had to step in and separate them from their disagreements. Debra would usually have the last word after Woman and Benoit had left the area.
On December 13, 1998, Jeff Jarrett faced Goldust in the Striptease Match. The crowd was strongly behind Goldust because they wanted to see Debra strip. However, Debra hit Goldust over the head with Jarrett's trademark guitar, enabling Jarrett to win. This meant that Goldust had to strip. However, WWF Commissioner Shawn Michaels ruled that, since Debra had hit Goldust with a guitar, Jarrett was disqualified, meaning that Goldust was the winner, and Debra had to strip. Debra was hesitant at first, but soon warmed up to the crowd, and stripped down to her bra and thong. However, before Debra could unhook her bra, The Blue Blazer (a disguised Owen Hart) entered the ring and covered her up, just as Shawn Michaels took off her bra.
From that point on, in every Jeff Jarrett match, Debra would take off her blouse and show her bra in order to distract Jarrett's opponents. The strategy was normally successful, and it helped Jarrett and partner Owen Hart to defeat The Big Bossman and Ken Shamrock to become World Tag Team Champions. Jarrett became a defacto face as a result of Debra, who would willingly take off her blouse to show the crowd her "puppies" (a nickname originally bestowed by wrestler Road Dogg and immortalized by commentator Jerry Lawler).
It was not until February 1999 that Debra had her first feud with a female, Ivory, in the WWF. The feud began with small catfights, but it escalated to wrestling matches. The first match that Debra was involved in saw her team with Jarrett against Ivory and D'Lo Brown on Monday Night RAW. Ivory and Brown won by disqualification after Debra hit Ivory over the head with a guitar. They also fought in a tag match at WWF St. Valentine's Day Massacre where Jarrett and Owen Hart retained their tag titles against Brown and Mark Henry, who were accompanied by Ivory. On March 1, 1999, Ivory stripped Debra during Jarrett's match. Debra then challenged Ivory to a match backstage, and Ivory accepted. On one occasion, Debra beat Ivory due to the interference from PMS (Terri & Jacqueline). During the month of April, Debra continued to manage Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart.
On May 10, Debra "won" the Women's Championship from Sable in an Evening Gown Match. Technically, in an Evening Gown Match, the winner is the woman who forcibly removes her opponent's dress. Because Sable removed Debra's dress, she therefore should have been the winner. However, Commissioner Shawn Michaels ruled that he considered the woman who had lost her dress the winner, crowning Debra the new Women's Champion. During her reign, she rarely defended the title, instead remaining a manager.
Jarrett and Debra then began feuding with Val Venis and Nicole Bass, culminating in a match at Over The Edge 1999 on May 23. The match that took place immediately after Owen Hart died after falling from the top of the arena while preparing for a stunt. The feud ended in a bikini contest between Debra and Bass, which Debra won.
Debra retained an on-screen role with Stone Cold even after the Alliance angle ended and Stone Cold had turned face again. However, her appearances became more and more infrequent, as she was not involved in any actual angles or storylines, and she just made random appearances backstage.
In late June 2002, Austin walked out of WWE. Debra followed, and she has not been seen in the wrestling business since. On January 15, 2006, Debra was reportedly backstage at TNA Final Resolution 2006.
In 1999, Debra hosted the Teen Choice Awards, presenting two awards. On February 16, 2002, she and Steve Austin appeared on an episode of Mad TV. On March 10, 2002, Debra appeared on an episode of The Weakest Link alongside several other members of the WWE roster.
Debra is in the 2007 film Resident Evil: Extinction playing a minor role of a "Lab Technician" which is currently in the cinemas.
She is now involved in real estate as well as playing a minor role of a "Lab Technician" in the 2007 film Resident Evil: Extinction.
Debra also told Fox News that WWE had a "code of silence" where she was not allowed to reveal that Stone Cold hit her, as it would cost the company millions of dollars because Stone Cold was one of their biggest stars. Debra said she revealed the information five years later because she suffered from depression because of the whole ordeal. |
