Ask anyone that is apart of Michelle McCool’s legion of “Faithful Followers” what they’re up to, and they’ll proudly tell you that we’re celebrating the First Lady of SmackDown’s 5th Anniversary with World Wrestling Entertainment – with the Lady herself! On November 18, 2004, Michelle McCool made her pro-wrestling debut on the blue brand, WWE SmackDown, which she has since called home. A staple for Team Blue, Michelle shows no signs of slowing down an already storybook career filled with blood, sweat and tears, and yes, faith, heart and soul. WWE Women’s Champion, Michelle McCool, has granted MichelleMcCool.Net yet another exclusive interview to shine light on questions that hadn’t been asked before. In this feature, we’re asking “5 Questions for 5 Years.”
You were given a great opportunity with the Diva Search. It ultimately led you down a path of success and championships. However, it’s also made some people say you’re undeserving of where you are today and that you haven’t “paid your dues” because you didn’t work your way up through the Indy promotions. Now that you’re still kicking butt and have shown an impressive amount of improvement and desire/passion, do you think you’ve proven the naysayers wrong? Have you “paid your dues” so to speak?
I think that’s always going to be a stigma that I, along with many others, will have to face. Whether you came through the diva search, tough enough, your family was in the business before you or someone just “discovered” you, there will always be naysayers. With that being said, I do believe I paid some dues. When you are a part of DSW, believe me, you pay dues. Things have changed dramatically in the short 5 years that I have been here. For the first couple years, I was on the road training and doing shows and then going back to DSW training and doing shows. I’m not exactly sure what someone’s definition of “paying your dues” are, but if it includes busting your butt day in and day out, never giving up, turning negatives into positive, picking brains to learn the art, being frustrated to the point of tears, etc…. then yes, I’ve paid SOME dues and there is nothing I would change about any of it.

When you were eliminated from the Diva Search, did you ever imagine that WWE would contact you and offer you a contract? Five years later and now you’re the Women’s Champion. Did you ever think you would get this far and be the superstar that you are today?
I think it’s one of those things where people were saying “we’ll see you again soon” but I didn’t really believe them. I wanted to believe them, of course, but I already thought just being a part of the diva search was more than I could have ever imagined. Needless to say, when I got the call to go to DSW and sign, I was beyond excited! I didn’t even think twice. A chance to go after my dream, I’m there! I always like to set goals and dream. Though it’s hard to always see the light, I never gave up on it. Becoming both Diva’s champion and Women’s champion is far more than a dream come true. Sometimes I still have to pinch myself. As far as being a “superstar”…..well the small town girl mentality never really leaves. I was just telling Torrie that I only thought my parents are the ones who think I’m a superstar! 
Over the past couple of years, you’ve gotten to work with a wide range of people. From Dawn Marie and the Big Show all the way to Victoria and Jamie Noble. Who have been some of the most inspiring people you’ve had the opportunity to work with?
Inspiring…wow, there are so many! As far as in ring matches, I have really enjoyed tons of people. From Victoria to Molly Holly (though it was only a second in WM25), Torrie to Melina, Dawn Marie to Big Show, I can’t even begin to name everyone. I try to learn something from everyone I work with, as everyone has different styles/techniques, ideas and reasoning. It’s the collaboration of creativity that I love! I really think that you can always adapt and find a way to work and put on a good match with everyone!
Continuing with the theme of the question above who have been the most help to you? Whether it’s training in the ring or getting help with the psychology of matches, who all has played a part in helping Michelle McCool evolve into the Diva she is today?
And again, the list goes on. Fit Finlay has been extremely instrumental in the entire women’s division. He is the man. He has taught me so much from the beginning and I continue to look up to him today. I love picking the brain of Arn Anderson who is another one who helps me execute moves, learn psychology, put my defense into my offense, etc…
Five years and so many moments have filled them! What are your personal Top Five favorite moments of your WWE career so far?
Oh goodness, this question isn’t even fair! I’m going to name 5, in no particular order (& I’m sure there are many more that should be on this list)
1.) My first WM moment……just being there was a feeling I will NEVER forget!
2.) Becoming the 1st ever Divas Champion….proved to myself that persistence and passion certainly pay off!
3.) Becoming Women’s Champion – if you’d of told me this 10 years ago, I probably would’ve called you crazy!
4.) My NOC match with Melina….it is to date my favorite match of all time that I have had – I was just so happy with both of us for putting together a match that really told a story, pushed the envelope with moves and that we executed well. Could things have been better? Of course….but nonetheless, I really liked it!
5.) Family Feud, Make-A-Wish, Project Runway, 5th Grader (though it was national humiliation), Best Damn Sports Show, etc….all of these outside activities would’ve never been possible.
I can’t thank each & everyone of you who have showed me so much love and support through all of my ups and downs of the past 5 years. You have no idea how much it truly means to me. And to the naysayers, you mean just as much as well (sorry as I’m sure you don’t want to hear that) – I love to prove people wrong and you help me do just that.
Special thanks to Josie, Katy, and MichelleMcCool.Net…..you are amazing!
Dream BIG….love, MM
Michelle McCool is just….amazing. That’s all I can say. She has always made me so proud to be one of her fans.
that was great, she is such a special girl,i have supported her during the last 5 years,no matter what she does in wrestling iwill support her, fit finlay that was a suprise, keep going strong champ.
Oh & I forgot to add that I’ve never known anyone like her. She’s proved just that to me on Twitter & WWE Universe. The 7 Twitter tweets, 2 messages, 54 favorites, & 1 comment on WWE universe prove just that. She’s great. It just makes me support Michelle even more.
It was a good interview but when is she going to thank the undertaker?
I bet he he helped out in a lot of ways and she still keeps that a secret(it’s not a secret michelle)
I feel sad for her…she can not even thank him. He is the one that helped you keep your title?
ES NORMAL QUE NO DE LAS GRACIAS A SU PAREJA O AMIGO EL EMPRESARIO DE POMPAS FUNEBRES. EL FORMA PARTE DE SU VIDA PERSONAL Y ESTA RESERVADO PARA ELLOS DOS.
ELLA QUIERE HACERSE VALER POR SI MISMA Y SEGURO QUE UNDERTAKER (MARK CALLAWAY) ESTA DE ACUERDO EN TENER UNA NOVIA VALIOSA Y SEGURA DE SI MISMA COMO MICHELLE.
IT IS NORMAL NOT OF THANK TO YOUR PARTNER OR FRIEND UNDERTAKING FUNEBRES EMPLOYER. FORM PART OF YOUR PERSONAL LIFE AND THIS RESERVED FOR THEM TWO. SHE WANTS TO ASSERT PER IF SAME AND INSURANCE THAT UNDERTAKER (MARK CALLAWAY) THIS AGREEMENT TO HAVE A VALUABLE GIRLFRIEND AND SECURE OF WHETHER SAME AS MICHELLE.
GOOD LUCKY, MICHELLE ARE VERY GOOD PERSON AS MARK
Michelle，I just wanted to wish you a happy 5 years on world wrestling entertainment。You worked hard to be a champion。And I think your doing a outstanding job！！
Loved your Night of Champions match! It was my favourite match on the PPV. Drop kicking Melina off the apron was awesome, now she will always be afraid to do that in front of you. Great job at Survivor Series tonight as well.
Yeah McCool/Melina NOC match was very nice. I loved the cockyness of McCool in it. McCool DDTed Melina off and onto the guardrail, then gives a cocky smile in the ring. Haha, loved it.
Why is it important for her to mention The Undertaker… her personal life is her personal life. Some wrestling fans are just too busy in business that have nothing to do with. You pay to watch them wrestling and nothing more. Go get your own lives.
I read the article accusing Michelle McCool of “stealing” A.J. Styles “Styles Clash” from TNA wrestling.
There is no “stealing” of wrestlers’ moves. Come on! Brett Hart’s sharpshooter has been bitten off so much (aka the Scorpion deathlock), they should call that highway robbery. McCool retired her Wings of Love facebuster because Awesome Kong called it the implant buster. And of course, Triple H’s pedigree is the move without elevating your opponent.
She isn’t a submission machine like Samoa Joe. Otherwise her MADT would be used in every match.
Pro wrestling has people using every other’s moves. Raven stole Jake the Snake’s DDT. Edge took Raven’s Evenflow DDT and named it the Implant DDT. Mickie James (ehhh…) does her sewie call (hahaha) and then drops Divas on their heads. No too mention, she took Trish Stratus’s chick kick, bulldog, and etc.
There are just so many finishers to go around. Styles famed 450 splash came after WWE legend, Paul Roma’s maneuver. However, he probably quit that because Evan Bourne’s version brings much more excitement!
But, all that cackling from ex WWE wrestlers is referred to as “hatin”. Enjoy your careers and move on, folks.
Also, the person who twittered McCool about “stealing” should’ve known their wrestling history!
Wrestling moves have no patent. They aren’t retired. They’re not given titles as “never to be used ever again”. If that were the case, Ric Flair’s figure four should be bronzed and never to be put on in a match. Dusty Rhodes “atomic elbow” would deserve the same thing. Also, William Regal’s STF wouldn’t be John Cena’ ST-FU.
This chatter makes me think if McCool’s being attacked because of her image. She’s a Christian athlete who is VERY PROUD of her religious beliefs. She doesn’t put herself on the police blotter, in drug rehab or on some steroid “watch list”.
She’s on top of her profession. She’s more popular outside the ring than between the ropes.
People want her status without putting in the work and effort. Jealousy makes people look like fools.

The worst tragedy for ghd straighteners cheap a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood.The essence of language is ghd straighteners sale human activity. Animals are ghd mk4 hair straightener black such agreeable friends -they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. In education we are striving not to teach youth to make a living, but to make a life.I would rather see a ghd gold mk4 hair straightener young man blush than turn pale. It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument. A long ghd dispute means that both parties are ghd kiss mk4 hair straightener wrong. People generally quarrel because they cannot argue.The reasonable man adapts himself to the cheap chi flat iron world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
