McCullum first joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) with a group of fitness models (Tylene Buck, April Hunter, Kim Kanner (Shakira) and Pamela Paulshock), as nWo girls. McCullum was given the name Midajah and, along with Kanner who was nicknamed Shakira O'Neal, became the valets of Scott Steiner. They were nicknamed the "Freaks". She then became the main valet for Steiner and became part of the Magnificent Seven. Midajah trained at the WCW Power Plant but never had a match. She had a brief feud with Leia Meow. She appeared on the final episode of Nitro in Steiner's corner as he was defeated by Booker T.
McCullum went to World Wrestling All-Stars (WWA) with Steiner when WCW was purchased by World Wrestling Entertainment. In WWA she was valet for Perry Saturn and was regularly attacked by the Hardcore Midgets. Midajah also spent some time in Ultimate Pro Wrestling where she trained at their wrestling school until leaving wrestling.
She was eldest of the four children born to her Norwegian and Irish father and Spanish and French mother.[1] She attended school in both America and Mexico.[1] Growing up, she was in beauty pageants and worked as a child actress.[1]
She was married to bodybuilder Michael O'Hearn, who is best known for appearing in the 2008 version of American Gladiators.
