Debra

"Arguably the most popular Diva of her time besides Sable. Serve her purpose as a manager. Even had one of the best backstage cat fights of all time. The term Puppies was all coined because of her influence. A true icon."

[6.0] "Really good as a manager. Her in-ring abilities aren't very memorable or worthy of highlight reels, but under her primary role (manager) she did build heat and get the crowd to react. Could other talent have done as good or better if given the same opportunity? Sure, but she did do her job and is satisfactory talent on a roster."

[5.0] "Seems kinda strange to judge a manager/valet based on their in-ring action. Debra McMichael was solid as a valet and solid as a manager, but never too impressive imo."

[7.0] "Not sure why Debra is rated so low. I think she did an effective job as a manager in the late 90s to early 00s. I really loved her the most when she was the WWF Women's Champion in 1999, and wish they did more with her as the champion. I think that her work later on was pretty good as well, seeing that the WrestleMania X-7 Feud between Steve Austin & The Rock is basically centered around her."

[7.0] "Debra was like the Dolly Parton of wrestling if Porter Wagner was more famous and talented than Dolly. Actually probably the only three things they have in common is blonde hair, fake boobs, and Southern accents. But I liked Debra and she was an entertaining character and valet who provided us with many great moments. I guess these ratings are on her non existent in-ring career? Cuz she was pretty great valet both for Jeff Jarrett and the troublemaking wife of Stone Cold."

[7.0] "Judging strictly as a manager which is all I really consider Debra, she was really good lol. She was able build a tremendous amount of heat during the nWo days, even compared to the biggest pests in WCW. Debra had a deeper understanding of fan psychology than most of the wrestlers of her time ever did."

[5.0] "Debra was good as a manager without a doubt, but her wrestling was limited at its worst and kinda good at best. Her only title win came thanks to a technicality by a turned-on HBK. Debra could've been a force to be reckoned with if she had received proper training and coaching. She wasn't tiny or weak. She actually was able to have a good match with the right supporting cast, but never got the best to improve in circumstances. Debra is always going to be a good manager, but I would've loved to have seen her as a great wrestler as well."

[4.0] "Good valet but simply not a good wrestler, she should have stayed out of the ring because maybe the rating would be higher."

[4.0] "Debra had a pretty long career as a valet and was in some pretty high profile storylines in both WCW and WWF."

[6.0] "As a manager, she is decent, but a wrestler is not very good ... especially since she was a champion, which was strange for me."

[6.0] "A pretty good manager with a decent amount of character. the thing about managers is that you can't really judge them on wrestling ability because that's not what they were there for. Debra also was pretty entertaining and had a bit of charisma, unlike Sable."

[7.0] "As a valet Debra was amazing. She was very entertaining and knew how to whoo the crowd. With Austin she was hilarious, and in the attitude era she got over with her "puppies". As a wrestler she would deserve a 2, but as a valet I think she deserves more recognition."

[4.0] "People judging her for her wrestling ability are idiots. Her primary role was a valet, and she was never seen as a wrestler even when she held the title (unlike Sable whom they did try to convince us could wrestle, even though she was awful). It's the women's title that was seen a joke then, but you can't blame the performer for that. Now, all that being said, I'm not a Debra fan. Unlike Sunny or Terri, she never managed to be entertaining at all, and I felt that like with Sable, her roles made her overshadow the wrestler she was supposed to valet for, which should never happen. Still, unlike Sable she had a modicum of charisma. Not sure how Sable is rated higher here."

[0.0] "Such an unnatural look, I don't get what anyone sees in her. She had the face of a 50 year old & the body of a mannequin. Obnoxious personality, wasn't a wrestler & a terrible manager. Just brought nothing to the table. If I can't think of a single pro (which I can't) I have to rate accordingly."

[4.0] "Debra was an OK talker and could draw some legitimate heel heat with her snobbish Southern belle character, and in WCW she did some decent work as a manager when getting involved in the affairs of Jeff Jarrett, Alex Wright and then-husband Steve McMichael. In WWF she was often placed in more of an in-ring role, which she really shouldn't have been as she was never cut out for in-ring competition."

[2.0] "She is a natural heel, in WCW she got a lot of heat just by doing the manager for Steve McMichael and Jeff Jarrett. Her WWF role was more of a wrestler and she was terrible. I believe she should have just stayed as a manager, but even that is still irritating. Also, one of the most forgettable when she spoke."

[1.0] "Screw this bitch. She set the lowest bar for women's wrestling arguably in the history of the entire sport. Now I'll cut her some slack since Russo was behind a lot of it but man this woman was an embarrassment. Even worse than Sable."

[8.0] "I guess it depends on what you are rating exactly. If you are rating actual in ring work, Debra was terrible. She was not a great worker, by any stretch. But, if you measure whether she could grab and hold interest, and draw fans, well, she was fantastic at that. She was a part of an era that set records in ratings when she was on television. Fans regularly disliked the wrestlers she was a valet for, yet held back on her most of the time, because you sort of felt she was just a damned great looking lady, who would be an absolute joy to be around. That in itself, whether true or not I have no clue, is some pretty impressive acting chops."

[3.0] "Debra never really deserved to be a Women's Champion, but she sure had a defining look and personality, her reveals are probably remembered fondly by some folks."

[3.0] "Debra was a Southern Belle and the former ex-wife to Stone Cold Steve Austin. She really didn't do anything and I honestly haven't heard anything from her anymore other than providing some insight to the Chris Benoit tragedy in 2007 but, that headline and relevancy is more directed towards to the loss of Benoit than her."
