Michelle McCool - Former WWE Diva

One of the hottest WWE Divas ever, Michelle McCool was born on January 25, 1980 in Palatka, Florida.

She is a female professional wrestler who worked for the WWE on their SmackDown brand, where she was the very first WWE Divas Champion.
Before Michelle got into wrestling, she was a seventh grade teacher in Palatka, Florida.
Michelle started out with the WWE back in 2004 WWE Diva Search. She didn't win, as a matter of fact, she was the fourth woman eliminated.

Regardless, the WWE signed her to a three-year contract in November 2004. She went to Smackdown and was first seen helping Rey Mysterio "stretch out" before a match as a personal trainer.

The WWE sent her down to their developmental wrestling facility, Deep South Wrestling (DSW), for training. There she wrestled, performed interviews, hosted segments, and provided commentary on matches. Her first feud in DSW was against Angel Williams (current TNA Knockout Angelina Love) .
Michelle moved from DSW to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). While she was in OVW, she began managing the duo of Amish Roadkill (former ECW star Roadkill) and K.C. James.
She finally was moved up from OVW back to Smackdown and began her " hot teacher" gimmick. Slightly disturbing considering she had actually been a seventh grade teacher.
Michelle turned heel and started teaming up with Kristal to start a feud with (then-face), Jillian Hall and Ashley Massaro.

On November 28th, Michelle was hospitalized with an enlarged kidney, a broken sternum, and an electrolyte imbalance.This was the second time she had been medically sidelined, the first was back in DSW when she was hospitalized after taking prescribed medication.
She returned to the WWE on March 30, 2007, taking part in a 10-Diva Tag Team match on Smackdown. After the match, Michelle did a face turn coming to the aid of Ashley who was begin attacked by her former partner and now heel Jillian Hall.
Michelle began a storyline with Chuck Palumbo and Jamie Noble and after that storyline ended, the matches began to decide the first WWE Divas Champion.

She competed against Victoria, Eve Torres, Maryse and Cherry in a series of matches and came out on top.
Then At The Great American Bash on July 20, 2008, Michelle defeated Natalya to become the first WWE Divas Champion.
This made Michelle the second Diva Search contestant to win a WWE title. ( Candice Michelle was the first).
Considering her lean muscular look, this 5' 10" lady could have been a model or fitness competitor, but instead she chose wrestling.
Michelle is about to debut a new finisher since WWE management decided that her old finisher "Wings of Love" was too rough on the other divas.
Michelle lost her WWE Diva's Title to Maryse.

That signaled her "Heel Turn" and she went on a spree defeating Eve Torres, Gail Kim and Melina, WWE Women's Championship.
She teamed up with Layla El, creating the WWE's version of TNA's The Beautiful People, Lay-Cool.
Michelle was named the Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) number one female wrestler of 2010.
And she won two "Slammys" in 2010, the Slammy Award for Diva of the Year and the Slammy Award for Knucklehead Moment of the Year.
Of course this winning streak and all of the accolades has nothing to do with her dating and marrying the Undertaker.
Right?

2011 didn't start out too well for Michelle as at WrestleMania XXVII on April 3, 2011, Michelle, Layla and Dolph Ziggler took on The Jersey Shore's Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Trish Stratus, and John Morrison in a 6-person mixed tag team match.
Michelle lost the match for her team, being the one pinned....by Snooki.
Then Layla and Michelle had a falling out and started a feud which ended in a Loser Leaves WWE match which Michelle lost at Extreme Rules.
She also became the first Diva to taste the wrath of the debuting Kharma after losing that match.

Although she left the WWE in 2011, Michelle was at WrestleMania 33 and 34 in April 2017 and 2018 to support her husband The Undertaker.
Then on January 22, 2018, she was honored as part of a segment involving women that contributed to the company's success on the WWE Raw 25 Years special episode.
The week after that, she was a surprise entrant in the inaugural women's Royal Rumble match at the 2018 Royal Rumble, scoring the most eliminations in the match at five before being eliminated by Natalya.

Is Lay-Cool Better Than The Beautiful People?

What is the hottest thing in female wrestling at the moment?
I think it's gotta be Lay-Cool.
Lay-Cool (or LayCool) has pretty much came up outta nowhere and out "Beautiful Peopled" The Beautiful People.
Yeah the WWE swears that the idea for Lay-Cool had nothing to do with The Beautiful People, and that's okay.
They finally gave us a great female heel team on the WWE, and maybe raised hopes that the WWE Women's Tag-Team belt might come back.

Since everyone is comparing Lay-Cool to The Beautiful People, let's see how they stack up.

Lay-Cool is Layla El, Michelle McCool and Vickie Guerrero, total years of experience = 15 years
The Beautiful People is Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne and Lacey Von Erich, total years of experience = 15 years

Looks = Okay...I gotta go with The Beautiful People cause Vickie Guerrero drags Lay-Cool's score all the way down.
Now...if they added Maryse...I'd have to do with LayCool.

Skill = Since the two teams tie as far as ring experience go, I'll have to go with Lay-Cool because Lacey's in ring performance has been so bad in the past, they have talked about letting her go.

One thing kinda scares me though.
On a recent show,Vickie Guerrero came out with Layla, Michelle McCool, Maryse and Alicia, and I had a flashback to Aunt Kitty and her gang on GLOW!

See what I mean?

Last Night on Smackdown-Michelle McCool and Gail Kim

Gail Kim got beat last night by Michelle McCool in a number one contender match on Smackdown.
Well that's kinda to be expected right?
I don't think they are ready to do face versus face and have Melina go up against Gail.
The match was good, as the matches with Gail and Michelle are.
Gail looked like she is moving back towards her "submission specialist" move set.
Maybe the WWE writers ARE reading my blogs since I stated awhile back that I thought she should do that.
If so...thank you!
Mixing pro wrestling with MMA style submissions (especially in the Diva's division) is to me a very good idea.
female submission wrestling is very popular on the net, and the WWE could tap into that easily.

Picture this.....
A male heel comes out and starts running his mouth.
One of the Divas comes out and tells him to shut up.
Since she's a girl, the heel takes a swing at her.
The Diva ducks the swing, trips him and clamps on a kimura or a keylock or an armbar or even a triangle choke, applies the pressure and makes him tap out!
This instantly makes up for Wrestlemania and suddenly gives the Diva division new street cred.

Outlandish you may say?
As I recall, martial arts were originally designed so that smaller, weaker opponents could take out larger stronger ones.
You know Bruce Lee was about 5 '6 and his weighed in at around 145.
Gail has her submission moves, Beth Phoenix was a collegiate wrestler and aren't Michelle and Maryse also trained in martial arts?

Now if you read my blogs, you know how much I hate gimmick matches.
But if done right, this could elevate the Diva division to new heights.
And BTW, lets make that a one shot, limited storyline thing with a male wrestler.
I don't really wanna see Triple H versus Maryse as the main even on Raw.

WWE SmackDown!,Gail Kim versus Michelle McCool

Last night on SmackDown!, Gail Kim and Michelle McCool put on a really decent match.
If I have to say anything about Michelle, despite the internet grief she gets, I think she is turning into a really solid performer.
She has worked on her skills and it shows.
So bad mouth her all you want, I think last night's match was one of the best Diva's matches I have seen in a while.

In case you missed it, here's the match posted on YouTube by KingHaffnerWWE1

The first part of the match starts here at about 3:51



And finishes here.



I really don't want to start getting pumped up on the WWE's Diva division, because every time I do, they do something (Wrestlemania) that makes me hate the way they treat them (Victoria's last match) and I regret getting excited.

WWE Divas Last Night On WWE Raw

Last night on WWE Raw, Melina and Kelly Kelly took on Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall.
The match didn't last long because Rosa Mendez ran in.
Where was she at the Royal Rumble?
Anyway, her interference allowed Beth Phoenix to get the win.

The big question right now is will Trish Stratus have a match at Wrestlemania 25?
The two main ideas for possible opponents seem to be Beth Phoenix or Michelle McCool.
But why? Both of them are ex-champions.
Either way, a Trish Stratus appearance is sure to sell tickets, even if it makes no sense.

Is Michelle McCool Going to do a Heel Turn?

Is Michelle McCool going to do a heel turn?
It seems on her blog this week she's talking about having a target on her back since she's the WWE Divas Champion.
And this week on WWE SmackDown! she'll be facing Maria in a non title match.
We all know Michelle is more than capable of playing the bad guy.
And think about it, a heel team of Michelle and Maryse would rival TNA's Beautiful People.
Plus they could bring back the "M and M" nickname just for them.
Of course bringing back that name would be a perfect lead in to bringing back Melina as a face, angry that Michelle and Maryse are using that name.
Which in turn could lead to Melina getting various team mates to go up against them, ultimately leading to the return of the WWE Women's Tag Team Wrestling title!
Hey, maybe Melina could get Mickie James as her tag team partner and they could claim the name "M and M".
Wow, I can really go off onto a tangent can't I?
Speaking of tangents, what's up with Michelle McCool, Maria, Maryse, Melina, Candice Michelle and Mickie James?
Does the WWE have some kinda "M" thing?

Michelle McCool versus Trish Stratus

Now according to the WWE, Michelle McCool has beaten Trish Stratus in queries online.
I don't really see how, considering Trish is getting HUGE buzz over her new Travel Channel show.
And her yoga, and showing up on RAW again.
Okay, the RAW thing was just one night but still.

Anyway, MY stats still show Trish WAY over Michelle. By a big margin.

On Tonight's WWE SmackDown!.........

Michelle McCool and Cherry will battle Victoria and Maryse in a ......Water Balloon match?
Okay....a Water Balloon match.......WWE is wrestling right? Or has it turned its women's wrestling division into some bad Nickelodeon Game Show?
BTW, Diva Search Winner Eve will be the special referee.
Referee?
Why?
I guess This will all lead up to the Playboy Bunny Lumberjack match at Wrestlemania.

Michelle McCool - WWE Diva

Michelle Leigh McCool (born January 25, 1980), also known simply as Michelle McCool, is an American professional wrestler currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment under the SmackDown! brand. Before becoming involved in professional wrestling, she was a sixth grade teacher in Palatka, Florida

Michelle McCool first came to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as a competitor in the WWE Diva Search 2004, 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 the Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) farm territory. 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 Diva Search, McCool aimed to become an actual professional 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 MNM's manager Melina's verbal attacks. Melina and McCool then began a feud, including Melina's SmackDown! debut match, which Melina won. 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 feuded with Angel Williams. While in DSW, she was hospitalized after taking prescribed medication, and she was sidelined for several weeks to recover. Eventually she was moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). While in OVW, she began managing the duo of 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 with Kristal Marshall to feud with then-faces Jillian Hall and Ashley Massaro. This led to a Fatal Four Way Bra and Panties match at The Great American Bash, which Ashley won. 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, for the WWE Tag Team Championship, but never won the title. The feud ended when London and Kendrick won a blow off match at No Mercy 2006 in October.

On November 28, 2006, McCool was hospitalized with an enlarged kidney, a broken sternum, and an electrolyte imbalance.During her absence, both James and Stevens were sent back to OVW. She was released from the hospital on December 2, 2006.

McCool returned on the March 30, 2007 edition of SmackDown!, where she participated in a 10-Diva Tag Team Match and participated in the LumberJills match at WrestleMania 23 between Ashley and Melina. McCool turned face once again when she came to the aid of Ashley after she was attacked by Jillian Hall backstage, which led to a short feud between herself and Hall.
