Michelle
Leigh McCool, is an American professional wrestler who is best known for her
time in WWE. She is a former two-time WWE Divas Champion & a two-time WWE
Women's Champion.
McCool originally worked as a
middle school teacher in Palatka, Florida. She joined WWE in 2004 after
participating in the 2004 WWE Diva Search. In her initial on-screen role, she
acted primarily as a personal trainer and occasional wrestler. She also acted as
the manager to the team of K. C. James and Idol Stevens, collectively known as
the Teacher's Pets, in 2006 after changing her on-screen character to that of a
teacher. At The Great American Bash in 2008, she became the inaugural WWE Divas
Champion, holding the title for approximately five months. She then won the WWE
Women's Championship at The Bash in 2009, becoming the first female wrestler to
have held both titles. At Night of Champions in 2010, she unified both titles
becoming the first WWE Unified Divas Champion. She has held both titles on two
occasions, which makes her a four-time champion overall.
McCool then defeated Gail Kim on the May 22 episode of SmackDown to become the
number one contender for the WWE Women's Championship, which she would win a
month later at The Bash by defeating Melina. She retained the championship
against Melina during a rematch on July 26 at Night of Champions and also during
a "Lumberjill" match on the October 2 edition of SmackDown.
McCool then formed an alliance with Layla, and entered into a feud with
Mickie James, which resulted in a five-on-five Elimination match at Survivor
Series, which James' team won. James then became the number one contender for
McCool's championship at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, where McCool
successfully retained the championship. McCool, however, lost the WWE Women's
Championship to James at the 2010 Royal Rumble, though she regained it on the
February 26 edition of SmackDown when special guest referee Vickie Guerrero
interfered, costing James the Championship. On the April 23 edition of SmackDown,
McCool and Layla defeated Beth Phoenix and Mickie James, and humiliated Phoenix
with a spray and table. The attack was a reference to the upcoming Extreme
Makeover WWE Women's Championship match between McCool and Phoenix at Extreme
Rules, which McCool lost. On the May 14 episode of SmackDown McCool and Layla
faced the then-WWE Women's Champion Phoenix in a two�on�one handicap match, in
which Layla pinned Phoenix and won the WWE Women's Championship.
On the July 30 edition of SmackDown, McCool took the place of Layla in her
WWE Women's Championship match against Tiffany, defeating her and retaining the
title. At Night of Champions McCool defeated Melina to unify the WWE Women's
Championship and the WWE Divas Championship, thus becoming the first ever WWE
Unified Divas Champion. At Survivor Series on November 21, she lost the Divas
Championship when Natalya defeated McCool and Layla in a two-on-one handicap
match. At TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs, she and Layla were defeated in the
first ever Divas tag team tables match by Natalya and Beth Phoenix.
On the March 14 episode of Raw, LayCool helped Guerrero defeat Trish Stratus in
no Disqualification match, to get a job on Raw, after the match, LayCool was
attacked by Snooki and Stratus. On the March 21 episode of Raw, LayCool teamed
up with Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero defeating Trish Stratus and John
Morrison in a handicap mixed tag-team match. At WrestleMania XXVII on April 3,
2011, McCool, Layla and Dolph Ziggler (accompanied by Vickie Guerrero) lost to
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Trish Stratus, and John Morrison in a six-person mixed
tag team match after Snooki pinned McCool.
On the April 8 edition of SmackDown, LayCool began to fall out again after being
defeated by Phoenix and Kelly Kelly after McCool avoided being tagged in by
Layla, blaming a back injury. After more arguing in the following weeks, the
team disbanded. On the April 29 edition of SmackDown, McCool faced Layla in a
singles match, ending in a double countout. After the match, Layla challenged
McCool to no disqualifications and no count outs match at Extreme Rules. McCool
accepted under one condition, the Loser Leaves WWE. At Extreme Rules, McCool was
pinned by Layla, which forced her to leave WWE. Afterwards, she was attacked by
the debuting Kharma to write her out. Michelle was part of the Crowd at Over the
Limit (2012).
Michelle McCool's All-American health and wellness advice at the 9th annual
National Women's Health Week in the United States.There are so many tips that I
can continuously give out to everybody. You hear the obvious: eat healthy, work
out so many times a week -- but it's more than that.
I believe physical, spiritual and emotional well-being tie in together. I
think people become overwhelmed when they try to do something and stick to it
every single day. My advice is to pick something different each day to focus on.
If it's being more self-confident that day, pick something you like about
yourself, focus on that and you'll find that when you're more happy within,
that's going to show up on the outside. Or maybe it's eating breakfast the next
day to kick start your metabolism. Maybe it's going for a walk around the block.
Whatever it is, start little and work your way up and you'll just see a huge
difference.
It's amazing we have a week dedicated to National Women's Health, but it's
really something that we need to focus on everyday. Make it a habit. There are
so many habits that we have that are bad. Why not make some good ones? I think
it's something we should stay focused on day in and day out.
