It was unfortunate that Michelle was left off of SmackDown’s 500th episode, as she has become the Blue Brand’s most predominant Diva in the show’s history. Being a little biased, you think? Perhaps (we are her fansite), but let us explain:

Michelle has displayed the evolution of a true WWE Diva right before our eyes. Ever since her first appearance and up until her most recent, SmackDown viewers have witnessed the growth of Palatka’s Pride – in, out and all around the SmackDown ring. From catfights, bikini contests, ‘Star on a Pole,’ to championship bouts, Michelle has been proven that SmackDown is her stomping ground, and she can do it all. She especially covers the dire essentials: All-around wrestler and Eye Candy darling. She’s the complete and total package. She’s already left her mark – on her territory!

Many before her have tried, paved the way, and have come close, but just couldn’t quite make it to her current status. That isn’t a knock at SmackDown’s past Divas, but an honest observation. SmackDown Divas of today are now following suit, perhaps looking to McCool as “the ring leader” and an example to aspire to.

Prior to WWE, there was neither modeling experience nor acting experience: just pure heart, faith, soul… and a dream.

Granted, there is still far more Michelle will have to learn and to achieve in order to become the admirable Diva in her critics eyes, but she’s off to a wonderful start.

From being voted as the SmackDown’s Top Diva to becoming the blue brands inaugural Divas Champion, we salute Michelle McCool for her dedication, and most importantly, her contribution to the SmackDown brand. 500 episodes or not, we appreciate her every time she steps in and out of that ring.

A small token that is always popular amongst the public, it’s always fun to imagine “what ifs” and how much more Michelle is capable of: magazine cover girl – a fan favorite! Inspired by SmackDown’s anniversary shoot, to create another “Now That’s McCool!” post. Please note, this is created by MichelleMcCool.Net and not an actual magazine spread.
