Debra Lynn Tiger. The matriach of the Tiger Dynasty. A decorated women's wrestler winning championships but has yet to become a Women's Champion. Competing actively for fourteen years on and off alongside her long time husband Stanley Ryan Tiger. Mother to one.

Debra Lynn Tiger has come to ZCW to establish the women's division, kick some ass, and hopefully become a Women's Champion at least once in her career. She has competed in many other companies competing building their divisions and credibility. She has stabilized their mid card divisions and was even slated to compete in a World Heavyweight Championship tournament in one company. Her decision to compete for ZCW was an easy one due to her husband and brother in law signing with the company previously. Her husband did make it clear that she could compete else where if she so desired but she ultimately decided to stick beside her family. Shortly before signing, Debra learned that a new member of the Tiger Dynasty has surfaced (or resurfaced in this case) in ZCW. This person being a step daughter she was unaware of named Jessikah.

On this edition of The Broken Heart Gallery, we will be focusing on the decision made by Debra Lynn Tiger initially come to ZCW. From what is publicly known, Stanley Ryan and Lee Joseph Tiger made the decision back in April of twenty eighteen. The decision to why is still a mystery. Debra came onto the scene eight months later in December of the same year responding to the Chairman's open call to anyone. At the time, Debra was not under contract and caused quite the stir within the division.

Debra Lynn Tiger: Stanley got the call in early twenty-eighteen about the possibility to work a little more frequently than they currently do. Which is cool I am happy for him. Stanley and I went to Edmonton to meet with Erik Drake, Erin Roberts, and Paul Heyman about the contract details. From what I heard, it was a reasonable offer that made both parties happy. I was told that if they were interested at a later date, they will be giving me a call. No big deal. Not a problem. I know my husband is a bigger name in professional wrestling than I am. It has been that way since before I got into this industry. But also at that time, I really didn't have my head in the game. After all the years of me busting my ass and not feeling I was appreciated like I wanted to be, I just wanted to sit back and collect a check. Don't get read into what I said for signs, ZCW was interested at the time but I told them where my head was at and told them that Stan and my's contracts are two completely different things. Which they all agreed was best for all parties. We all shook hands and went on our ways. Leading up to the first Rush!, I got a phone call from Oktober Roberts asking if I could come with Stanley to the Edmonton area. When I did, I was informed by Oktober that I will be making my unofficial debut by answering a promo being done by Paul Heyman without his knowledge. I was not informed of how it would go or what to say, I was just told to read the room and go for it. The feeling walking out there without anyone knowing I was going to be there was amazing. Standing on the top of that ramp, looking down to the ring, and hearing the fans react is what we live for. I could feel the emotions rise as woman after woman came down and started getting the crowd pumped. Many of the women I have worked with before and knew what they were bringing to the table. After that night, I vanished from ZCW television. Why? Because I wasn't under contract even though, against everyone's wishes, then General Manager Peyton Johnston announced a match between myself and Alison Creed. Was I aware of this match? No. I was notified at the same time the rest of the world was. I was actually, as revealed by Lee, out on vacation with Stanley and our son Alexander. If I would have known about the match, I would have been there to whip Alison's ass all over again. But that is not what everyone remembers from the first Rush!. Everyone remembers Peyton Johnston revealing that I was not going to be there but she found a suitable replacement. And who was this suitable replacement, Stanley's estranged daughter Jessikah. Now I was absolutely shocked as was Stanley. Boy will I tell you THAT was a fun conversation with Alexander. Raised without a sibling and now all of a sudden, he finds out her has a sister that is six years older. Now I wasn't a hundred percent surprised Stanley had another child. He did tell me before while we were dating but told me he lost contact with her. So all that stuff between Jess and the Dangerous Family concerning her not knowing where her father was, was real. And we all know how Stan is about his kids and especially women members of the family. You mess with them, you are going to get hurt. We had a few more weeks scheduled until our vacation was over but Stan cut it short after seeing Jessikah on television. Which I understand completely. I am not mad. I would do the same thing if it concerned Alex. Anyways! We came back a few days before Jessikah had the run in with the Dangerous Family and Stan made his debut. Ha ha! It is funny that I wasn't signed here but I debuted before the rest of the family did. The reason behind me coming to ZCW in October was simple. My husband is a wrestler for ZCW, my brother in law is a producer for ZCW, and my lovely step daughter decided to come to ZCW as a wrestler. So signing with ZCW was a no brainer at that point. Besides, I gave the other companies some time to decide if I was going to be a big enough draw for them. One of them was going to put me into their World Heavyweight Championship tournament (my idea by the way) but ultimately there were some financial issues and management indifferences that caused a sudden closure. Am I happy with my decision to sign with ZCW? Absolutely! I get to spend a lot of time with my husband, my new found step daughter, and brother in law. I am having the time of my life right now.

On the next edition of The Broken Hearts Gallery, Debra will dive deep into another topic close to her regarding her career.
