Ric Flair began pounding on McMichael's wife, Debra, who sat ringside during WCW Monday Nitro in April 1996. McMichael challenged Flair, Arn Anderson, and Kevin Greene to a bout with his partner, Kevin Greene. Before the fight could take place, however, McMichael was attacked by Anderson, who was angry that Debra had rejected him earlier in the night. As a result, McMichael was hospitalized with multiple skull fractures. Flair would go on to defeat Anderson via disqualification when Anderson struck McMichael with a guitar. After the match, Flair made several attempts to convince Debra to leave her husband and join him but she refused every time. In August 1996, it was reported that Debra had filed for divorce from Greene because of the incident involving Anderson. However, this report has been disputed by others involved in the incident. In any case, Debra later married Greene and the couple moved to Tennessee where they started a business repairing air conditioners. Meanwhile, Anderson has said that he will continue to harass Debra even after her divorce from Greene is finalized. He has also claimed that she contacted him directly after the incident to say that she still loves her husband and wants nothing more than to be left alone. It is rumored that Debra once worked as an exotic dancer before marrying Greene.
