She was trained by the Great Malenko and Carl Gotch, scouted for Japan from a single photograph, and held championship gold in one of the world's toughest promotions. On this episode of The Clash, we're honored to host our first female professional wrestler, Deb Malenko.
Join hosts Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley (a Malenko trainee himself!) as they dive into Deb's captivating career. From high school wrestling to the dojos of Japan, Deb discusses the discipline, the risks, and the memorable matches that defined her time in the ring.
But the real main event is her story of faith. Discover how a "latchkey kid" always felt God's presence, how she found purpose beyond the spotlight, and how the lessons of the squared circle—accountability, protecting others, and never giving up—became the cornerstones of her life as a wife, mother, and follower of Jesus.
