Michelle Leigh McCool, also known simply as Michelle McCool, is an American pro wrestler currently working for WWEas part of the SmackDown! brand. Before becoming involved in pro wrestling she was a sixth grade teacher in Palatka, Florida.
Michelle McCool first came to WWE as a competitor in the 2004 Diva Search, from which she was the 4th woman eliminated. Despite not winning the contest, she was still signed to a 3-year WWE developmental contract in November 2004 and assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling. She entered SmackDown! as a face with a personal trainer gimmick, a reference to her actual past employment. Unlike most of the other "Rookie Divas" who participated in the RAW Diva Search, McCool aimed to become an actual pro wrestler.
After participating in a number of "Rookie Diva" and "Best body" contests she had her first SmackDown match, teaming with The Big Show to defeat Dawn Marie and René Duprée on March 3, 2005. McCool and Dawn Marie feuded for the next few weeks, with Marie coming out on top.
A few months later McCool became apart of the feud between MNM and Heidenreich when she defended Heidenreich against things MNMs manager Melina was saying about him. Melina and McCool had a short feud between them, which included Melina's debut match (and win). After the match, MNM gave McCool their finisher, The Snapshot. This would be the last time she appeared on WWE Television for almost a year.
McCool was then sent to WWE's Atlanta, Georgia territory, Deep South Wrestling (DSW), where she wrestled, performed interviews, hosted segments and provided color commentary with Nigel Sherrod. She also got involved in a small feud with Angel Williams. While in DSW she was once hospitalized after taking prescribed medication. She was sidelined for several weeks to recover before being able to return. Eventually she was moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). While in OVW, she was paired with and managed Amish Roadkill and K.C. James.
She returned to SmackDown! on June 2, 2006, this time working as a heel with a "hot teacher" gimmick, again pulling on her real life experiences. Upon her arrival she aligned herself with Kristal Marshall to feud with Jillian Hall and Ashley Massaro. She won her first singles match on the July 28, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, defeating Hall by illegally using the ropes as leverage. Soon after she began acting as valet for the team of K.C. James and Idol Stevens, who, because of her association with them, were nicknamed "The Teacher's Pets". The trio began feuding with Paul London and Brian Kendrick, and their valet Ashley Massaro, for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
On November 28, 2006, McCool was hospitalized with an enlarged kidney and electrolyte imbalance. She was released from the hospital on December 2nd.
