ECW Press has confirmed more information about the upcoming autobiography of Debrah Miceli, also known as WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze or Madusa in WCW.
"The Woman Who Would Be King: The MADUSA Story", written by Miceli and Greg Oliver of Slam Wrestling, will be released on April 18, 2023.
Paul Heyman has written a foreward for the book; he worked with Michael during their time in WCW, when they worked together in the Dangerous Alliance.
From ECW Press:
Through four decades of entertaining, in the wrestling ring and on the monster truck circuit, Debrah “Madusa” Miceli never could sit still. But her desire to learn, grow, and inspire legions of followers masked deep secrets … Her upbringing was a lie from the start, and the dark truths of her childhood, revealed here for the first time, are the earliest examples of Debrah’s determination to persevere.
Professional wrestling may have been an odd choice for a nursing student, but Madusa went all-in, toughening up in Japan before conquering WWE as Alundra Blayze. She held the WWE Women’s belt … until being fired. In the rival WCW, Madusa infamously tossed the WWE belt in the garbage on live TV.
Then, in 1999, Madusa changed lanes and revolutionized the monster truck world. At meet-and-greets, girls in pink “Queen of Carnage” t-shirts would wait alongside ogling fanboys. By 2004, she was the world champion in a sport dominated by men.
Only one thing has eluded her: motherhood.
This is the spellbinding story of how one woman survived child abuse, financial disaster, death-defying injuries, heartbreak, and chaos to emerge triumphant.
As Blayze, Miceli recently appeared on WWE TV. More information is available here. She is also working behind the scenes with the NWA.
