Michelle McCool is as beautiful and tough as they come. I’ve watched her pro wrestling career since she first started in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and thought we had another “diva” model with little talent. Now, McCool has a wrestling attitude and skills to match. She is no longer the untrained wrestler I once saw, she has become a professional.

Michelle started her pro wrestling career being showcased in the 2004 WWE Diva Search were she was the fourth one voted off, but signed nonetheless. She had a few matches with Dawn Marie and later was involved in a dispute between MNM and Heidenreich that led to her getting laid out by MNM’s finishing move the ‘Snapshot’. She wasn’t seen on WWE television for almost a year after that.
June 2, 2006, McCool returned to Smackdown as a ‘hot teacher’ and was involved in the 2006 Great American Bash in a Fatal-Four-Way Bra and Panties match. She also managed the “Teacher’s Pets” until due to health reasons, she was sidelined.
Michelle, again, returned to Smackdown in March of 2007 participating in a 10 diva tag team match. She won the 2007 Memorial Day Bikini Beach Splash Battle Royal by eliminating Melina on RAW after which she had several matches against Victoria, managed to host a feud between Jamie Noble and Chuck Palumbo, and win Smackdown’s Top Diva contest. McCool, finally gaining momentum, won the first ever Divas Championship title at The Great American Bash on July 20, 2008, defeating Natalya.
Since winning the Divas Championship title, Michelle McCool has become vicious in the ring defending her belt against all comers until finally in December of 2008 she lost her title to Maryse. After many battles with Maryse, Michelle decided to start tagging with her for a while. Never quite successful in regaining her title from the diva.
In June at WWE’s pay-per-view “The Bash”, McCool fought Melina for the Women’s Championship. The event was spectacular for both divas because both are experienced and talented wrestlers. It was also one of Michelle’s best matches as she dominated Melina though-out most of the fight. McCool won the title making her the first woman in history to hold both the Divas and Women’s Championship belts, albeit on separate occasions. Michelle and Melina continued a weekly battle competing in tag and singles matches. On Night Of Champions 2009, Michelle McCool fought Melina and clearly retained her title.
Michelle McCool is putting divas and fans on notice that she has become more than a model-actress. She has many moves in her arsenal, including the “Faithbreaker” which is devastating, adn has helped take women’s wrestling from “cat-fights” and “bra-panties matches” to serious up-to-date pro wrestling standards.
