19. Debra
Debra McMichael was introduced to the WCW audience as a regular in April 1996 when she appeared as the valet of her husband Steve McMichael. As a former beauty queen, Debra had no problem fitting into the wrestling business.
She turned into a pretty good promo in terms of being an annoying heel. They also had her turn on McMichael by having her manager Jeff Jarrett instead, which was a way to help Jarrett get over more as a heel. After about two years on camera, she moved on from WCW and divorced McMichael.
When Debra went to WWE in 1998, she became an even bigger star thanks to the change in her appearance (remember that “Puppies” chant?) and they allowed her to do more than what she did in WCW.
18. Midajah
Midajah was one of the fitness models that WCW signed in early 2000 when they felt like they needed more eye candy on their shows. It made sense for them to sign fitness models since they are already used to being in front of the camera and it wasn’t that hard to teach them about the wrestling business.
She started out as one of the NWO Girls and then became the main valet of Scott Steiner, who won his first WCW World Title in late 2000. Steiner often referred to her as a “freak” with Midajah sometime interfering in his matches to help him get victories.
After WCW died in 2001, she didn’t stay in the wrestling business. For whatever reason, WWE didn’t want to bring her in when they signed Steiner in 2002.
