Debbie Malenko

[8.0] "In just three years she managed to have a career of more memorable matches than a lot of wrestlers have in a lifetime. She was insanely good for her experience level and it's a shame that the ride was so short for her."

[9.0] "Though she was not actually Dean Malenko's sister, she was a good choice to label a Malenko with the way she worked. I just watched the match where she got injured and it was bad, not as bad as Sid's injury in WCW, but but nonetheless. What could have been a great career was ended in a flash. One of the great missed opportunities in wrestling had she not gotten injured. She could have been truly great."

[8.0] "Debbie Malenko is a legend despite her short time in the business. Probably the best non-Japanese wrestler that was in AJW. Fantastic technical worker and had a nice tag team with Sakie Hasegawa."

[8.0] "Pound for pound one of the best female gaijins in joshi history. So technically proficient and worked very comfortably with the Japanese stye. No sign of awkwardness which often plagued American women wrestlers who toured in the 90s (but ultimately helped improve their game). Great tag team with Sakie Hasegawa. Her initial wrestling run was tragically cut short due to a freak accident during a match. Besides a couple of guest appearances in Japan, since last year Debbie has been staging something of a comeback after almost 30 years. She was part of NWA Empowerrr and is accepting indie bookings. Appears to have found form after a very lengthy layoff. Here's hoping she can make up for lost time and impress us all, now with a US women's wrestling scene very different to what it was."

[9.0] "If it wasn't for that horrible leg injury she would have become the greatest non-Japanese women's wrestler of all time easily. She was that talented."
