[edit] Early life
Her mother, Cora Combs, was also a professional wrestler. Debbie Combs made her wrestling debut at Louisville Gardens for Angelo Poffo's International Championship Wrestling (ICW) at the age of 16 in a 7-girl battle royal where she was the first eliminated. Combs dated Randy Savage for five years while they were both working for ICW.
[edit] Career
[edit] National Wrestling Alliance
Debbie Combs worked in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and is a former NWA World Women's Champion. There are conflicting facts about Combs' title reign. Either she defeated Penny Mitchell to become the champion in Kansas City, Missouri on April 10, 1987, or she was awarded the title after having won a tournament in Honolulu, Hawaii. There are match results from 1986 that list Combs as the NWA World Women's Champion.
The Kansas City promotion withdrew from NWA in 1987 and closed in 1988. The NWA vacated Combs' title and awarded Misty Blue Simmes the NWA United States Women's Championship (a replacement of the prior NWA World Women's Championship held by Combs).
[edit] American Wrestling Association
She also competed in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) in the 1980s. Upon joining the promotion, Combs wrestled against Sherri Martel as a babyface, but later turned heel and became tag team partners with Madusa Miceli. The duo feuded with Heidi Lee Morgan and Brandi Mae.
[edit] World Wrestling Federation
Combs also wrestled in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), feuding with The Fabulous Moolah and Sherri Martel in 1986 and 1987 for the WWF Women's Championship.
After leaving the promotion, she later returned to the WWF in 1994 to challenge Alundra Blayze. She wrestled Blayze once on an episode of Wrestling Challenge and was scheduled to face her at WrestleMania X, but was replaced by Leilani Kai.
[edit] World Championship Wrestling
Combs briefly competed in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the mid-1990s during their brief attempt at a women's division. On the March 31, 1997 edition of WCW Monday Nitro, Combs lost to WCW Women's Champion Akira Hokuto.
[edit] Independent circuit
During her runs in the AWA, WWF, and WCW, Combs never won their versions of the World Women's Title. Her only major title was the NWA World Women's Title, which she won prior to the NWA becoming WCW. She was also president and matchmaker of Women’s Professional Wrestling (WPW).
