She featured in layouts for Magazine and its associated videos, showcasing her physique in swimsuit and fitness contexts as a California-based model. Additionally, she served as a spokesperson for the supplement company and appeared in car and motorcycle magazines, building a reputation in mainstream and fitness modeling circles. These modeling endeavors, which included figure competitions and promotional appearances, served as a key gateway to entertainment opportunities, ultimately drawing the attention of (WCW) talent scouts like and through her magazine features. This exposure led to her recruitment for a wrestling role in late 1999.

Professional wrestling career

World Championship Wrestling (1999–2001)

Tylene Buck began her tenure with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in late 1999, when she was scouted for her modeling background and signed as one of the nWo Girls, a group of fitness models serving as valets for the New World Order faction alongside April Hunter, Midajah O'Hearn, and others. Her official television debut occurred on the May 15, 2000, episode of WCW Monday Nitro, where she appeared as part of the nWo entourage, marking the start of her brief in-ring training at the WCW Power Plant under instructors including Madusa, Mike Graham, and Paul Orndorff. Following this, Buck transitioned to the "Major Gunns" persona, debuting in that role on the same May 15 Nitro episode as the drill sergeant valet for the Misfits in Action (MIA) stable, led by General Rection (Bill DeMott), which parodied military themes with its roster including Lash LeRoux, Chavo Guerrero Jr., and others. In this capacity, she provided on-screen support during matches and segments, occasionally participating in arm-wrestling contests and brief physical altercations to advance MIA's storylines. As Major Gunns, Buck's role expanded into key feuds within WCW's women's division, primarily against Tygress (Sharmell Sullivan), the manager of the Filthy Animals, and Miss Hancock (Stacy Keibler), who aligned with David Flair. These rivalries highlighted inter-stable tensions, with Major Gunns defending MIA's honor in backstage skirmishes and sanctioned bouts; for instance, on July 31, 2000, during WCW Monday Nitro, Miss Hancock defeated Major Gunns in a hardcore match taped as a backstage brawl, involving props like tables and chairs to escalate the personal animosity. The feud culminated at the New Blood Rising pay-per-view on August 13, 2000, where Major Gunns secured victory over Miss Hancock in a mud match, pinning her after a series of splashes and roll-ups in the ring filled with mud, solidifying her as a combative presence in MIA. These encounters not only showcased Buck's athleticism from her Power Plant training but also integrated her into WCW's chaotic midcard narratives, where valets like her blurred lines between support roles and active participants. On November 13, 2000, during , Major Gunns executed a dramatic turn by betraying , throwing in the towel on behalf of General Rection during his WCW Championship match against , allowing Storm to retain the title and enabling her defection to the newly formed Team Canada stable.

Her interactions emphasized propaganda-style promos and , such as during a December 11, 2000, tag team match where she and Storm lost to Miller and Miss Jones via disqualification. This shift marked Buck's evolution from a face authority figure to a enforcer, contributing to Team Canada's brief but memorable invasion angle amid WCW's declining storylines. Buck's WCW run concluded with her release in February 2001, shortly before the promotion's sale to the World Wrestling Federation amid financial collapse, ending her approximately 18-month stint that combined valet duties with limited in-ring action across , Thunder, and pay-per-views.

The escalated through on-screen confrontations, including in-ring brawls where Buck positioned herself as Sandman's ally against Borden and her associates, often involving weapons and physical altercations typical of XPW's extreme style. Key encounters included a singles match at XPW on May 26, 2001, which ended in a no contest due to interference, and another at XPW on July 7, 2001, ruled a no contest amid chaotic elements. Throughout the feud, Buck contributed to broader XPW narratives involving ECW alumni, such as Sandman's conflicts with factions like The Enterprise, where she intervened to aid him against opponents including Veronica Caine and other heels aligned with promoter Rob Black. These storylines highlighted XPW's reliance on ECW transplants to build its reputation for unscripted intensity and fan-favorite rivalries.
