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.

So Candice is back as a heel huh?

UPDATE: Nope...it wasn't Candice Michelle, it was Michelle McCool.

Should I even mention that at the WWE Extreme Rules PPV, the only semi womens match will be Vickie Guerrero against Santina Marella in a Hog Pen match for the title of "Miss WrestleMania"?
Nah...I didnt think I should either.

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout News, Victora / Tara, Maryse and Melina

Former WWE Diva Victoria did show up on TNA, and now her name is Tara.
Tara?
In case you missed it, you can see "Tara" take out the Beautiful People.....



As of right now, WWE Diva Maryse has had the longest run of any WWE Divas Champion.
Well there's only been two....but so what?
She has held the title for 157 days and counting, which breaks Michelle McCool's previous record of 155 days.
Yay?

Speaking of Michelle, she said in her WWE Universe blog that Melina broke her nose in a recent match.



And continuing on with Michelle, she and Triple H will be in Japan in July at the MTV Japan Movie Awards.
They wil also be doing promotional events to help promote WWE's tour there.

Tonight on WWE SmackDown!, you'll get to see Melina versus Alicia Fox, and Eve Torres versus Layla El.

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 Diva and TNA Knockout News

WrestleZone.com has an article and interview with former TNA Knockout Roxxi Laveaux at their site.
You can read the article here.


Tonight on WWE SmackDown!, Alicia Fox and Michelle McCool will go up against Gail Kim and Melina.


The Denver Post.com has an article on Dr Death, Steve Williams and Former WWF Diva Dawn Marie's "Wrestler Rescue" work to help him out.
http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_12347601


No certain return date for TNA Knockout Christy Hemme.
Christy is out with a neck injury, and she says she doesnt like the idea of surgery to repair it.
I can't blame her.
You can hear more on the May 13th interview at revolution31.com

It appears that Sarah Stock is going to be called Sarita in TNA.
Funny...she's Canadian.

And the WWE has signed blonde model and dancer Rachael Carr, who has been a body double for Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue to a developmental deal.
Imagine this, if things go well with her training, we could see a female British stable with Katie Lee, Layla El and Rachael.

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 Diva Victoria to Retire From Wrestling

Okay, here is some news I'm not happy to be reporting.
The rumors have been running around for awhile, but it seems now that WWE Diva Victoria really is retiring from wrestling .
I know it's probably for her best, but I have to admit I'm gonna miss her.
I've loved her since she first turned up on Raw and blindsided Trish Stratus.
I remember wincing the first time I saw the Widow's Peak applied.
But she's been in the WWE longer than any other Diva (I think) and I can understand her wanting to move on.
Victoria, you'll be missed.

WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Updates

Tons of stuff today.......

1. Remember the heel turn I predicted for Michelle awhile back?
Well it looks like a reality. Watch this weeks WWE Smackdown and see what I mean.
Man, I predicted this awhile back.
And I'm still not writing for the WWE?


2. On Monday Night Raw, Trish DID get to face Beth Phoenix!
Okay, it was in a tag team match with John Cena and Trish against Beth and Santino Marella, but still.
Again I predicted it!


3. Melina returned!
She had a tag team with her and Mickie James against Layla and Jillian Hall.
Okay, yeah I know I predicted Melina would return awhile back and I missed that one.
Two outta three ain't bad.
Ask Meatloaf.


4. Kara Drew, former WWE Diva Cherry, has a post at http://www.cherry-web.org/ addressing her release from the WWE and it's aftermath on her life.
When reading this, remember that BEFORE the WWE, Kara wrestled on the Indy Circuit for about 2 years.


5. TNA's Frankie "Kaz" Kazarian (Suicide) and Traci "Knockout Law" Brooks just got engaged.
Congratulations to both of them, even though I did NOT see that one coming.


6. Victoria posted an entry on her MySpace blog regarding her retirement.
Okay I made a prediction about that one, let's see if that pays off.

That about wraps it up.
But think about this, with all these "hits" I keep getting, am I psychic, or is wrestling just that predictable?

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?

WWE Diva's Halloween Costumes for Cyber Sunday

Remember Candice Michelle as Catwoman?

Well it isn't really wrestling.
Okay, it isn't wrestling period.
But the tentative list of WWE Diva's Halloween Costumes for the contest at WWE’s Cyber Sunday is out.
I know it's become pretty much a tradition.
Anyway.....
Candice Michelle / Marilyn Monroe
Jillian Hall / Bat Girl
Katie Lea / Vampire ( I might get the PPV just to see that)
Tiffany / Nun
Victoria / Banana ( A Banana? What.....?)
Maryse / French Maid

Shelly Martinez aka Salinas has left TNA

Okay she left WWE and I was sad.
Couldn't blame her though, it was ECW.
Then she went to TNA and I was happy again.
Now Shelly Martinez aka Salinas has left TNA.
Doesn't really matter though, I followed her career long before WWE.
I know the rumor about her wanting to make a movie and TNA not wanting to give up any more money.
That's cool.
But first Gail Kim....now Shelly?
Is TNA's women's wrestling division a house of cards that will soon fold on itself?
Stay tuned......

Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus number two in search?

WrestleZone reported today that....
" Trish Stratus was the second most searched person on the Yahoo search engine yesterday, thanks to the hype of her new travel show in Canada."
http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=222360430

I always wonder about that when I see it.
I check Yahoo search everyday and I didn't even see her name listed.
WWE was in the top twenty, but I didn't see Trish listed.
Maybe I just didn't see it, because I am seeing a lot of PR regarding her new travel show.

The Winnipeg Sun had a big article.....
For years as a professional wrestler, Canadian Trish Stratus traveled the world. But that doesn't necessarily mean she saw the world.
"People would ask me what it was like to go to a certain place, and I'd say, 'Well, I know about the Hilton and the arena,' " Stratus said. "And no offence, but arenas are all kind of the same.
"I always struggled with the question, 'What's your favourite place to perform in?' So I'd have to say, 'Well, my favourite time was when I wrestled here,' but it was mostly because of the match, not necessarily the place."
But now, through her new TV series Stratusphere, for a change Stratus gets to travel the world and actually see the world, too.
Stratusphere debuts Monday across Canada on the Travel & Escape network.

WWE Smackdown Diva, Maria

WWE Smackdown Diva, Maria

We haven't had a Maria update in awhile, so here's one.
You know that as part of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft, Maria was drafted from RAW to the SmackDown. Maria made her debut on the August 1 edition of SmackDown by defeating Victoria.
Okay I really like Maria and all, but beating Victoria?
Victoria has been wrestling since what....2000?
I'm all for the less experienced Divas getting more airtime and getting better, but really.....Maria beating Victoria?

WWE Diva Mickie James in the "Summer Skin" feature

Mickie James / Alexis Laree

Old picture of Mickie James, back when she was on the independent circuit, where she was known under the name Alexis Laree.

She trained in several camps to improve her wrestling abilities before working for TNA Wrestling in June 2002, where she gained national attention. After only a few appearances, she joined a stable called The Gathering and was written into angles with the group. She is also the first and only woman to be involved in Clockwork Orange House of Fun matches.

Shelly Martinez Fired???

Yes, it's all over the net by now, my favorite vampire wrestler Shelly Martinez, was fired.
Okay, they say " released"
Allegedly she got into an altercation backstage with Batista and BOOM! she was outta there.
Well Stephanie McMahon just took over hiring and firing, she is Triple H's wife, Batista is Trips buddy, so......
Also, its been said Steph didn't think Shelly fit the WWE Diva, " mold".
Yeah true...shes not a blonde. And she can actually wrestle.
Well maybe its all for the best. I hear TNA is gonna crank up their women's division ( Actually, come to think of it, I've been hearing that for awhile....) so maybe she'll go there and actually be allowed to wrestle.
I've followed Shelly's career since WAY before she showed up in the WWE, so I wish her the best in whatever she decides to do.
And BTW...the WWE sucks MORE now.
Even without vampires.....
