Just when we were getting scared… she totally redeems herself!
July 2nd, 2009
It may not be her Championship shoot (OR HER LINGERIE SHOOT!!!), but Michelle McCool’s newest photo session on dotcom is nothing to get mad about! Her last set of pictures did finally grow on me, but it still wasn’t her best. She definitely stepped it up with these pictures though. I’m not a fashion guru, but even I can tell homegirl’s been working on her poses.
Let’s dig in with the first set, shall we? We shall! At first glance and possibly the first thing to jump out is her hair! I have a feeling these pictures are from before she took out the extensions, but it’s okay to pretend she put them back in. We can dream, darn it! After the hair… things get a little bit funky! That outfit is so fun and right up Michele’s alley with her sense of style. Maybe she’s a bit of a gambler because she’s been seen wearing another top that has playing cards on it. The black shorts are a nice touch and the boots top the outfit off quite well!
Now for the not so good points… Lately, the guys working on the ladies’ pictures have been going a little bit overboard with the photoshopping. Guys, seriously, knock it off. These girls are gorgeous without it, so unless someone has a mega zit on her face, leave ‘em alone! To be completely honest, these pictures hardly look like Michelle. The lighting or the colors in the pictures aren’t really working. She looks washed out and two dimensional. Perhaps we’ve seen what it would look like to have Michelle as a cardboard cut out!
Moving on to the second set. Work it, girl! She’s got the wonky leg thing going on again. I don’t know the exact name for it… I just know from watching America’s Next Top Model that it’s a popular pose amongst the high fashion industry. If Tyra likes it, it must be fierce! Insert a z snap here.
Her hair looks great pulled back in the loose pony. I definitely prefer that to the down look. While the first outfit is fun and flavorful, this one is very classy and dignified. It goes much better with the earrings, hairstyle and footwear of choice. It also makes her pop against the background. When’s the last time we got Michelle in front of something other than a black or white backdrop? The garage door, the set box and cement floor give this a grungy feel, not something we get to see all the time. Michelle can be versatile and really “wow” us when she wants to. She mixes and matches, bringing out different sides of personality and taste in fashion. For example, the dress does look elegant but then you reach the top and see the black and gray studded hem which brings together the grungy feel mentioned previously.
Very good, Michelle! We applaud you and look forward to seeing more!
Final Grade: B+ That last set really has us wanting seconds!
History has been made. Mark it in your calendars – June 28, the day Michelle McCool became the first ever woman to hold both Divas and Women’s championships!
To Michelle we say congratulations. We are so proud of you. You’ve been with WWE nearly five years now and you’ve accomplished almost everything a girl dreams of. You did it! You’re the champ! You’re on top, you’re number one and if people don’t like it, tough! Your dream has finally come true and we couldn’t be more proud to be your fans.
Every fan who watches professional wrestling dreams that maybe one day they could be like their favorite superstars or divas they see every week. For the lucky few who do get to sign a WWE contract, their one and only goal should be to win the most prestigious title and be the best. If that’s not the number one focus, then go elsewhere because someone else will gladly fill that spot. Michelle would be no different from that. From diapers to ring gear, Michelle’s been a fan and is probably still a fan at heart. But she also holds that moniker of WWE Diva. Surely some of her dreams came true when she was the first to be the Divas champ. I’m not trying to knock that belt, but the Women’s title is a little bit different. The women who have held that have been some of the very best. Just like we’ve said time and time again, Michelle’s name is now listed amongst theirs. If you’re a McCool fan, now’s the time to stand up and say loud and proud that Michelle McCool is the current reigning Women’s champion!
Michelle has always been one that has controversy follow her. Whether she tries or not, people talk about her, and that’s good. It’s bad when she isn’t talked about. People can say they hate Michelle and all that mumbo jumbo, but really… if you hate her so much, why continue to talk about her? Sorry, but generally when someone truly dislikes another, they keep said disliked one off their mind as much as possible. People can claim anything they want, believe anything they read. It’s up to them. But at the end of the day, we aren’t backstage and we don’t know what’s going on. If it helps the haters sleep at night, then go ahead and continue believing what you choose. It doesn’t and won’t change the results of The Bash.
I can rant, rave, complain and praise Michelle as much as the next McCool fan, but ever since Sunday night? Michelle has been the talk of the town (read: the internet). I expected some negativity with discussions about the PPV itself, but I honestly didn’t expect the Queen Diva to be brought up in nearly every single thread made. I thought that’s what the MichelleMcCool.net forums were for!!
The quote used on the banner up top is from ROH wrestler Chris Hero’s MySpace. I found it pretty fitting for Michelle. Everyone is going to have people dislike them. No matter how much others can adore someone, there will always be that many people and then some who can’t stand them. Like stated above, for people who supposedly despise Michelle as much as they say, she sure is on their minds a lot, and enough to cause them to continuously talk about her. Deep down those haters just might be her biggest fans. Come over to the good side, guys! Trust us, the water’s fine!
Before this ends, one thing needs to be said: Complain and whine all you want. The fact; and I do mean fact – this is not a biased Michelle McCool fan opinion – the fact is Michelle Leigh McCool is your WWE Women’s Champion.
Now that we’re in the McCruel Era as Michelle begins her first reign as WWE Women’s Champion, it’s time for a fresh start – and many changes!
As we’ve said before, and as it should be noted, Michelle is at the top of her profession: The World Wrestling Entertainment Women’s Champion! It doesn’t get any higher than that – it just doesn’t! The only feat Michelle is yet to accomplish is to secure her name in the WWE Hall of Fame, and at the rate she’s going, and the history she’s writing, she’s off to a great start. But, once more, this is the start of the true ‘McCruel Era’ in that Michelle’s previous reign as the Divas Champion was that of which a beloved WWE Diva. Today, she’s quite possibly the most controversial Diva in all of WWE, and rightfully so! Nothing Michelle does should go unnoticed, so you better recognize greatness when you see it; Michelle McCool is greatness personified in the living flesh! But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement either.
Take a look at a few of our suggestions as to what we’d like to see during her first reign!
The Match: Live it. Like it. Love it. Michelle McCool has made history once more; first as the inaugural WWE Divas Champion, and now, as the first-ever Grand Slam Diva, having once held the WWE Divas Championship, and as of ‘The Bash’, now holding the WWE Women’s Championship. Michelle is now at the top of her profession, having held the very championship that once wrapped around the waists of a plethora of great WWE Divas before her, such as Sable, Trish Stratus, Lita, Chyna, and of course, The Fabulous Moolah. The match that had taken place at ‘The Bash’ was also just as impressive as Michelle victorious accomplishment. Michelle had put up quite the battle, and even dished out a couple of new moves. Our favorite was the pretzel-like hold Michelle had put Melina in, after she had benched her over her knee (was it so wrong to wish Michelle would have at least given Melina a quick spanking?), before literally bending Melina’s leg back so far, her foot was resting upon the crown of her head. Nice one, Michelle – let’s see that again! After a failed attempt at the ‘FaithBreaker’, Michelle had made sure not to fail twice, as her finisher proved to be devastating enough on Melina, that it secured her not only the prized gold, but her name in the WWE record books – forever!
The Storyline: I’m obviously in somewhat of a state of shock, as I had surely expected Michelle to catch the three-second tan, courtesy of Melina. I had fully expected Melina to retain her Women’s Championship, and have Michelle continue to chase after the title and having inevitability captured the gold at “Night of Champions.” Most importantly, I had figured at the rate she was going, Mickie James had a greater opportunity to become the first-ever Grand Slam Diva before Michelle. Boy, am I ever glad to be in the wrong! It’s always a satisfying feeling to get what you’ve always wanted, even when you feel as though it might be a little too much to ask for – I’m sure many of you have Christmas stories to relate here! If there’s anything to be learned, it’s not to hold so many expectations, and just… go with the flow. Let’s the chips fall where they may. What I can fully expect to happen, though, is Melina to become one nasty hellcat, on the pursuit of Michelle’s new gold! This battle is far from over, and while Alicia Fox may have played a role in Michelle’s sweet success story, you better bet your bottom dollar Melina’s got her number, too. Michelle had won the Divas Championship as the sweet, All-American Girl Next Door and had a reign with a smile on her face from start to finish… but this is an all-new era. The McCruel Era as the new WWE Women’s Champion. If you thought Michelle had a chip on her shoulder now, wait till she tosses the gold over it – ego mania, we welcome you with open arms!
The Fashion: With the sweet, comes the sour. Oh, yes… on the night that Michelle McCool had finally lived her life-long dream; girlfriend didn’t look so hot while doing so. It’s now a little known fact that if Michelle McCool is scheduled for a pay-per-view; she’s going to bust out some new threads. Her latest ensemble: we’re not so much a fan of. I don’t enjoy the lace look that former WWE Diva, Victoria, has left behind. It’s a little on the “trashy” side for me. Also, Michelle’s “Cross of Faith” dead center in the middle of her breasts looked more like a chest plate or a necklace charm she had “jacked” from Cryme Tyme. Ouch. Her hair wasn’t so bad, though. I like that she’s sporting what’s hers, and she owns it. The black and white combo is nice, but it just a wall for me. But no worries, there will be plenty of time for Michelle to look fierce and fabulous during her McCruel Reign as the WWE Women’s Champion!
The biggest night of Michelle McCool’s WWE Career takes place in a matter of hours! Michelle McCool will challenge WWE Women’s Champion, Melina, for the most prized chunk of gold the Divas of SmackDown could ever accessorize – The Women’s Championship belt itself! Michelle’s every match, every move, every blood, sweat and tear shed was for this very moment. Will Michelle McCool become the new Women’s Champion? Will she make history as the first Diva to hold the WWE Women’s Champion and the Divas Championship? Only time will tell! Until then, be sure to read up on what the staff of MichelleMcCool.Net has to say as they weigh in with their final thoughts!
Josie’s Predictions: If all the planets, stars and even your favorite moon align tomorrow night at WWE’s next PPV, “The Bash”, I still don’t think it’ll be enough to secure Michelle McCool a definitive win to capture the WWE Women’s Championship. Let me explain the method to my madness: I feel as though Michelle was booked too strongly as a powerful heel that can out-wrestle, out-maneuver, and especially out-smart WWE Women’s Champion, Melina, week in and week out. It only makes sense that WWE would allow Melina to redeem herself by proving she’s more than capable of turning the tables on Michelle McCruel, and finally put a stop to the blonde bombshell’s aggressive mean streak – if for one night only, which just so happens to be the most important night of Michelle’s WWE career! Michelle definitely has the upper hand coming into the match, with full steam ahead of her and ready to make a b-line for the championship gold, and while I do expect the match between Michelle and Melina to quite possibly be the best of Michelle’s career, I also expect that it’ll be Michelle catching the three-second tan. I’d assume Michelle will get her rematch at WWE’s next pay-per-view, “Night of Champions,” where she’ll finally capture the Women’s title. While the thought of Mickie James becoming the first ‘Grand Slam’ champ in the Diva’s division does make my stomach churn, I do see that happening. However, one can never predict the end result, as WWE has always been one not only for the ages, but surprises, too. If Michelle McCool wins the Women’s Championship tomorrow night, I will more than happily eat crow.
Katy’s Predictions: The Bash is tomorrow. Michelle’s big day… tomorrow!!! For her, and her fans, this is a dream come true. Nobody goes into WWE not wanting to win the big one. The Women’s Title is definitely the big one and Michelle does deserve it. Now there are tons of possible different outcomes. We aren’t writers, so we won’t know until tomorrow night, but I’ve got a couple ideas of how things might go. My first, and favorite, idea is for Michelle to beat Melina clean. No help from Alicia, no dirty tricks. Just a fair, hard fought match that ends with a Faith Breaker in the middle of the ring. 1-2-3, ding ding ding! Here’s your new champ! Two ideas involve one Alicia Fox. The first being she helps Michelle out, maybe by distracting the referee or pulling a fast one on Melina which allows Michelle to get the win. The other could be that her interfering does the exact opposite and actually costs Michelle the match. Of course this leads to a major beat down on Alicia, courtesy of our favorite McCruel diva. My last idea is that Melina beats Michelle with the Last Call and retains her title. But it won’t stop there. A few weeks ago, Michelle promised that she would not only take the title but also humiliate Melina. If she’s lost, what else is Melina to do but make Michelle eat her own words. After the match Melina – heck, bring out all the divas that Michelle’s pounded on and let them help – beat up Michelle even more. Add a little salt to those wounds. Michelle misses a few weeks of SmackDown! to heal up. Then one Friday night during a match Melina is having, Michelle comes running through the crowds and delivers a killer beat down, demanding her rematch at Night of Champions where she will win the WWE Women’s Title.
So there you have it! Who do you agree with? What do you think will happen at ‘The Bash’ – better yet, what do you WANT to happen? Share your thoughts now! And if the predictions weren’t enough for you, be sure to enjoy this amazing video by marKthrashmv with the final hype to ‘The Bash’ match between Michelle McCool and Melina!
The Match: Another nice match up between these four ladies. I gotta say, Alicia Fox has really started to impress. She and Michelle work nicely as a team, keeping Melina isolated the way they did. Michelle stayed vicious with her attack on Melina’s jaw. That’s an interesting target. Most people go for the legs or arms or shoulders. Something that will keep their opponent from ultimately hitting their finisher. Then again, Michelle’s never been one to follow others. She comes up with her own ways to defeat her opposition. All four divas put on an exciting tag match and proved once again that they’re beautiful and know how to kick some butt.
The Storyline: This was the last show before The Bash and I gotta say, not that impressed. Melina and Michelle got their hands on each other which takes away from their build up on Sunday. It’s not going to kill the match by any means, but it would have been a lot more anticipated if they’d been hands off. Oh well, we got a nice match out of the deal. As for that match… who knows what’s going to happen. As a fan of Michelle, it’s clear to see she has the upper hand going into Sunday. She’s beat Melina several times and that has to mess with Melina’s mind. But as a WWE fan and for most of us who have followed it for so long, we notice the pattern than usually the person going into the big show that’s made to look the ‘weakest’ ends up coming out on top with an impressive victory. We’ll have to wait until Sunday to find out, but we’ll be rooting for Michelle all the way until the ref has counted 1-2-3!
The Fashion: Nothing new here from Michelle. The blue camo isn’t my favorite attire, I prefer the green. Actually, I would love to see her bust out the red “kabooty” shorts again, along with the silver and gold. C’mon Michelle, you’re about to hold some gold around your waist, how about you put gold on your body too? The other thing was her hair! It was straight, yet again, and I love it. It looked a little longer, but it was probably just me seeing things. The only way I would have improved that would have been to pin the bangs back. Or maybe even the beloved French braided pig tails. I know they’re a favorite around these parts. Wink. There’s one accessory that Michelle’s been sporting these past few weeks – a wrist brace. If it’s hurting her, she certainly doesn’t show it. Of course, I doubt an injured wrist would keep Michelle from competing for (and winning!) the Women’s title.
In 2008 Michelle along with her fellow WWE superstars went on one of their many tours to Europe. At one city in particular, that being Strasbourg, France, Michelle took part in a little Q&A session. We’ve had candids for this event, but now we have a video to go along with it! Here is what Michelle had to say:
There’s no greater feelin’ than being inside the ring. I mean we go in night after night after night and do something we absolutely love. It’s the fans that make it so exciting. They’re why we’re there. There’s nothing better than putting smiles on people’s faces week in and week out.
You know I don’t mind being considered, a lot of people say, “Oh, you’re just a babe or you’re just a..” I don’t mind being called a babe or considered a babe as long as I’m a babe that can kick but. And you know, they gotta understand that.
Huge thank you to Katie for helping me out with the video!
According to PWInsider our lovely Michelle McCool, along with John Morrison, is currently in Los Angeles filming episodes of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”
If this is true, WOOHOO!! We all enjoyed Michelle on Family Feud, so it’ll be exciting to see her on a game show again. I haven’t watched this show for a while, so I’ve forgotten how it works, but we’d be willing to say that yes, Michelle is smarter than a 5th grader. She was a school teacher for cryin’ out! She has a Masters degree. It’s not like just any Joe Schmo can get their Masters degree and then go on to be hired to teach the youth of America. Michelle’s an intelligent lady, so watch out 5th graders!
A little side note.. I think Jamie Noble should have gone on the show instead of Morrison. Why, you ask? Because Jamie, Michelle and Jeff Foxworthy? They could have made the show a special Southern edition! However, it is Morrison that’s being reported as doing the show with her. Two of the best, if not THE best, bodies in the business. If this show didn’t have children on it or watching, maybe they could go in as little clothing as possible! It certainly would make for one of the hottest game shows in a long time.
We’ll post more details as we get them so stay tuned!
