MAJOR GUNNS HISTORY

A fitness photographer discovered her on the bikini contest circuit.
Awestruck with her physique and beauty (who wouldn't be???), the photographer
introduced her to many fitness magazines such as muscular Development,
Muscle Magazine, and Iron man. Shortly after, Tylene became the spokeswoman for
Max Muscle and wrote a monthly column on fitness and nutrition for the magazine.
One of the most exciting moments in the period of her life was her appearance
on the "Jenny Jones Show." "I was a guest on the show called 'Geek to Chic'.
It was about people that used to be nerds but grew up to become famous and beaut-
iful. People from high school were amazed how much I changed" She said
with a laugh. Although her modeling career was taking off, something else was
eating away at her. ."I had been wanting to get hooked up with wrestling
for years,: she says. "Wrestling has been a true love of mine since I was a
little girl. I can remember watching Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash and wishing I
could meet them one day."

A close friend of Buck who lived in LA knew some people who work for WCW,
including Nash and Hogan. "I told him I'd like to get into wrestling, and he
introduced me to Kevin Nash. Nash invited me backstage during Halloween Havoc
in Las Vegas. It was absolutely amazing to meet everyone, but I still couldn't
seem to find the right avenue to get in," she says. A few months latter, Tylene's
friend told her WCW as coming to LA to interview women for the show. "I found
out that Terry Taylor had been following my career and some other fitness girls'
careers for a while," Buck says. "I was so excited, I hopped on a plane
and flew straight to LA. I was very nervous because all the girls who were
interviewing were so beautiful." A few hours after her interview, Buck received
a phone call from a WCW contact and discovered she was one of the six
girls selected to join WCW.

Buck made her first appearance on WCW television as an nWo girl. "The nWo was
really popular at the time, so it was very exciting to walk with those guys to
the ring," Buck says. "I learned so much about the business from Nash when I
worked with him. Nash is so down to earth, and he made things so easy and
relaxing for me." Once the nWo dissolved, Buck joined Midajah O'Hearn and
Kim Kanner as a valet for Jeff Jarrett. "I'm really happy I go to work with
Jeff," Buck says. "I used to love to watch him do his promos. He's so great
and getting into character, and he was very patient with us girls." In typical
wresting fashion, the storylines changed, Tylene, Kim, and Midajah became
valets for Scott Steiner. Eventually Buck was removed from Steiner's group to
become an interview girl. "I liked doing the interviews, but I love
being in front of people and hamming it up. I missed being in front of the
crowd." she says. Buck next found herself without a character or storyline.
"When WCW called me and told me they still didn't have a storyline for me after
a few weeks, I cried and cried. I thought my wrestling career was over." she says.
"I begged them to give me any part at all in the storyline. I was trying
everything I could think of to get back into WCW."

A few weeks later, Tylene received a telephone call. WCW wanted her to return,
and she was ecstatic. "They asked me I has any combat boots and camouflage.
I said 'What?' When she returned to WCW, Tylene met her new teammates,
the Misfits In Action. "I found out it was the MIA guys who requested
that I come back.," Tylene says. "They asked where I had been because they
wanted me to be a part of their team. I was amazed because I didn't really know
them that well," she says. "They all are really great guys." Although Tylene
was thrilled to be working with the Misfits, she was less than pleased with
her new Moniker. "They told me my new name would be Torpedo Girl," she says
with a laugh. "I asked Vince Russo if I could change the name if I came
up with something better. He said I could, so I started asking everyone for
suggestions. We eventually came up with Major Gunns.".

Tylene feels grateful to be back in the spotlight, and she is enjoying her new
character. "Major Gunns is a total babyface," Tylene says. "She's a sweet
girl, but she won't back down either. She's a powerful girl, just like I am,
but she's not vicious. She has a heart of gold, and she'll do anything to
make a bad situation good." Tylene is delighted that she has the opportunity
to train in the Power Plant, WCW's training facility, with the rest of
WCW's female stars. "I've always wanted to learn to wrestle, she says. "Until
you're a part of it, you don't really understand the sport of wrestling. Now
I wrestle almost every week and I'm thrilled to death." As a result of her
entertaining matches and sculpted (WOW DAMN GOD) physique, Tylene's career
is skyrocketing. But she knows better than to credit her fame to anyone other
than her fans. "I get a rush interacting with all my fans, seeing all their
smiles and faces. If it weren't for my fans, I wouldn't be where I am,"
she says. Her biggest fan, however, is her mom. "When I first joined WCW, my mom
was happy for me, but she wasn't really a wrestling fan Now she not only
watches me, but she watches that entire show. Every show I've been on, she
has it on tape." Unlike many female stars who hope to use WCW as a stepping
stone to further their entertainment careers, Tylene says she would be
content to remain a fixture in the wrestling world. "I'd love to do TV and movies
eventually, but wrestling always will be my first love," Buck says. "I
want to stay with WCW and be known as the one of the biggest women wrestlers
of all time."

Her duties as Gunns has been to give mouth to mouth resuscitation whenever
needed and she's also been dragged into defense against the likes of Pazley &
Tygress. Gunns latest adversary is the ex-Nitro Girl Ms.Hancock and in New Blood
Rising she defeated Ms.Hancock in a mud match. Lance Storm defeated Hugh G.
Rection of MIA at Fall Brawl to win Major Gunns when Hacksaw Jim Duggan inter-
fered and joined the Canadian Gang. She rejoined the MIA in Octobers PPV
for a short time before causing General Rection the title and rejoining Team
Canada. During WCW's clearance Tylene was let go from the company. We know
she will show up again very soon on TV.
