Michelle McCool Interview With Her Official Site!

As a special treat, Michelle has set some time aside to answer another
series of questions, to which we believe may very well be her best
interview with MichelleMcCool.Net. Oh, yes… we’ve said it, interview!
We’re always trying to think up of questions that haven’t been asked
before, and something that’ll get Michelle talking, and by George, did
we ever! Have you heard about the time Michelle worked with two bulging
discs in her neck? No? How about how she felt like a fish out of water
when she auditioned for the 2004 WWE Diva Search? Probably not! We’re
covering a lot of ground, and though it’s Michelle’s birthday, it’s her
Faithful
Followers who get the real gifts here!

MichelleMcCool.Net: Since your debut in 2004, you’ve always
been able to call SmackDown your home. We’ve even dubbed you as “The
First Lady of SmackDown”! But, every year, come the WWE Draft, the
usual predictions say “this is the year she’s moving to RAW,” and of
course, it isn’t. With all that you’ve accomplished on SmackDown, do you
think a trade to RAW is 2011 bound?

Michelle McCool: “It’s funny because I always prepare
myself mentally once the draft comes up. We have learned to expect the
unexpected in our jobs. I honestly don’t mind which show I’m on, as long
as I’m doing what I love!”

MichelleMcCool.Net: Any recent injuries that you’ve sustained
that the fans weren’t made aware of? We do remember former WWE Divas in
shoot interviews saying that you’re one of the hardest working Divas on
the roster, even having worked through fevers and swollen bruises! Kudos
to you, you wear your pain just as fierce as any fashionable accessory!

Michelle McCool: ” Haha….yeah, bumps & bruises come
with the territory. Other than the normal, I did have two bulging disc
in my neck (between C5 & C6). I’m not sure exactly when it occurred
or if it just happened as a result of constant wear and tear, but boy
did it hurt! It was probably the worst, pain wise, at Hell in a Cell. I
remember barely being able to move my neck at all. It was so bad that
day (& about 4-5 days after) that I couldn’t even bend my head down
far enough to scratch my forehead. I was diagnosed the following Tuesday
after HIAC when I had an MRI. I took it easy in the ring for a few
weeks after. Right now, I’ve had a sprained pinky finger for 3 weeks. I
know that sounds silly, but it’s aggravating “

MichelleMcCool.Net: Two Words: Lady. GaGa. By now, we’re sure
that you know of our not-so-secret love affair with Lady GaGa and her
influence over Michelle McCool’s style, or so we’d like to pretend.
Obviously, when you FINALLY (and by finally, we mean nearly 3 years in
the making) decided to dress up as GaGa for Halloween, it was a huge
moment for us at the website. Parallel to your infamous Dolph Ziggler
backstage skit (just don’t make us choose)! So, this begs the questions.
When you’re getting ready for a photo shoot or you’re putting together a
match, does it ever cross your mind: “Oh, MichelleMcCool.Net is going
to love this!”

Michelle McCool: “I have to say I definitely thought of you guys when I dressed up as Lady Gaga! I wanted to tell y’all, but I just couldn’t “

MichelleMcCool.Net: We’re not sure how many in the WWE
Universe may realize this, but you’ve actually lucked out during the
whole “T & A” era, didn’t you? Aside from a few bikini
contests/matches, a catfight and one bra & panties match, you’ve
never had to compete in an outrageous gimmick match – at least not on
television (Knock-on-wood) You have, however, been apart of some of the
most extreme matches in WWE history! But, it’s a double-edge sword. Some
people don’t like their Divas being “fluff” and others don’t really
care for “tough,” either. With that said, WWE has come a long way from
their Sable’s to their Lita’s to get to their Michelle McCool’s and
Natalya’s. But, what were some of your favorite “gimmick” matches?

Michelle McCool: “It’s funny…..it seems that no matter what
the diva’s do, there will be a million people loving it and another
million hating it! I’ve never been a fan of the bra and panties
matches…. The extreme makeover match was pretty fun, but nothing will
top the rush I had during the TLC match. I hope everyone enjoyed it as
much as I did! I felt it for several days after, but I loved every bit
of it! I hope they continue to give the divas more opportunities like
that. It was so refreshing to do something so extreme. The crowd loved
it too, which is always nice! I actually thought they were ribbing us
when they told us that our match would be a table match as well! It took
asking about 5 people before I actually believed it “

MichelleMcCool.Net: It’s time to play “Remember When.” We’re
going to ask a couple of questions about your career and past
storylines. While looking back, we’ll laugh, we’ll cry, but mostly,
we’ll remember the good ole memories! First up, Michelle McCool debuts
as a sultry school teacher! Looking back, did you enjoy playing a
raunchy character who wore low cut tops, short skirts, high boots and
had a flare for yardsticks? Personally, it brings a smile to our face
because we know how much of an opposite you are from the character that
you portrayed, and we can only imagine the guts it must have taken you
to even step foot in an arena with that wardrobe! But, it’s your
interview, let’s dish on some of your favorite highlights!

Michelle McCool: “Looking back, I kinda wish I would have
transitioned into the naughty teacher character. It was so polar
opposite of me that it was tough for me to portray. I wasn’t that
comfortable in front of the camera for quite some time…..add dressing
like that, knowing I have actual legit former students watching me, it
was kind of tough! I’m pretty sure I could do it a lot more justice now “

MichelleMcCool.Net: Now, let’s talk about your “Teachers
Pets.” Casey James and Idol Stevens! Remember them? It was your first
stint playing a manager, and to be quite honest, the best memories we
have out of this era… was actually your wardrobe. We hate to say it, but
it didn’t look like there was much chemistry there. Your boys did
manage to score a shot at the WWE Tag Team titles, but not much else is
to be remembered. Unfortunately, you were sidelined with an injury,
which pretty much meant the end of the tag team duo, but the start of
the “All-American Diva” upon your return! What was it like working with
James & Stevens, and what do you wish could have happened in the
long run?

Michelle McCool: “Oh, I don’t know…..we all definitely got
along, but you’re right – there wasn’t much chemistry. I attribute a lot
of that to just being new. Sometimes at the beginning of your career,
you’re just afraid to go for it (for lack of better terms). I think I
always held back in fear of screwing something up, versus just going for
it and having them have to reel me back in (which is what Layla and I
tend to do now)! They were both great guys that I hope are doing well!”

MichelleMcCool.Net: And to stay on topic, what ever happened
to your plethora of skirts and boots?! And that dazzled bra you wore
often! Think you’ll ever dish out another “Teacher’s Outfit” at
television – for old times sake?

Michelle McCool: “I’m sure it’s in one of my many plastic bins of outfits/ring gear. Hmmm….don’t get your hopes up! “

MichelleMcCool.Net: Moving on, we all know by now that you
didn’t have any formal acting or professional modeling credentials when
you first joined the 2004 RAW Diva Search, and that you pretty much just
entered the contest on a whim. With that said, what do you remember
most when it came to your “first” photo shoot for WWE? You know us, we
go nuts over your photo shoots! But when you were up against the likes
of Carmella, Amy and Joy… that are, ahem, quite comfortable in front of
the cameras, that had to be pretty intimidating.

Michelle McCool: “I was definitely a fish out of water, BIG
TIME! I often thought I didn’t belong….just b/c I was so different than
the rest (just a small town girl living a big time dream). I remember
in NYC thinking that I had to of been the only person there who either
1.) Didn’t have their agent send them or 2.) Didn’t have a professional
portfolio of pictures. I’m sure that wasn’t the case, but that’s how I
felt. I didn’t even know fake eyelashes existed until I entered the diva
search…. I learned a lot! It took a little bit of time to get used to
being in front of the camera for photo shoots. I never mastered the sexy
look – good thing is, they always wanted me to smile “

MichelleMcCool.Net: Real Talk! Ready to gab about your
girlfriend, Lay? Cause we’re totally dishing out a question about her!
When it comes to LayCool’s flawless wardrobe, which member is the
brainchild behind the fierce matching outfits we get to see week in and
week out? From matching jumpers, dresses, blazers, and boots, to even
titles and accessories! We go into fashion overload! Do you two go
shopping together, or does one see an outfit and take it in their size
and then the others?

Michelle McCool: “Yeah, it’s a two way street. We literally
just buy for each other whenever one of us is shopping. We pretty much
have the same taste (with an exception of a few things…but we’re aware
of what the other might not like as well) which makes it easy. We have
drawers full of outfits ready to bust out! I’ll tell you one thing, I
get tired of hearing the sales people say “Do you realize you have two
of these in the same size?” Duh….yes, they’re for my flawless friend “

MichelleMcCool.Net: If you were to head on over to
MichelleMcCool.Net right now, you’d see a poll up asking our visitors
what they would like to see from you in 2011. Currently in the lead,
it’s a video blog ala YouTube! Then we have an audio interview with us,
posting more pictures on Twitter, or interacting more at the fan forum.
Knowing you, you like to please your fans any which way that you can.
But, coming from the Ms. Faithbraker, History Maker herself, what can
your Faithful Followers expect to see from you in 2011?

Michelle McCool: “I like that….Ms. Faithbreaker, history
maker – has a nice ring to it I do like to please my fans, though I
normally get more hate than anything (which I embrace and welcome with
wide open arms). As far as the YouTube videos and/or blog, it’d take me a
year just to figure out how to do that. I think I can definitely post
more pics on twitter….in fact, I’ll make that a promise “
MichelleMcCool.Net: Now that we’ve entered a new year, what
more do you think you can accomplish? You’ve already unified the titles,
you won the Slammy for Diva of the Year. What are some of your goals
for 2011?

Michelle McCool: “To have the spotlight at Wrestlemania (with Layla of course) That’s not too much to ask, is it? “

MichelleMcCool.Net: You’ve gone through some pretty tough
stuff in your career. You’ve been put through a table, you’ve been
attacked with a cleaning bucket and ironing board, and you’re known to
take your matches outside of the ring which we’re sure doesn’t provide a
lot of padding. What have been some of the most painful moments in your
matches?

Michelle McCool: “Oh goodness….I remember flying off the
ring apron after being dropkicked while holding that ironing board. That
didn’t feel good. Nor did the buckets being whacked against my back.
Though the table felt as I expected (very painful), I’d do it again in a
heartbeat! I have to say, wrestling with the bulged discs in my neck at
HIAC & the raw the night after was probably the most painful I can
remember!”

MichelleMcCool.Net: We know the LayCool Dictionary consists of
words like, Real Talk and Flawless. What would the Michelle McCool
dictionary have in it? Surely there are some words you use frequently
outside of the ring.

Michelle McCool: “”Y’all”……”pullleaasse”……”

MichelleMcCool.Net: When confronted with a problem, be it with
a person or some other obstacle, what’s your weapon of choice? Do you
back away, tackle it head on, forget about it completely or go about it
in a totally different way?

Michelle McCool: “I normally digest it first. I’m bad about
holding my feelings in for quite awhile unless it’s something REALLY
bad. I have no problem standing up for myself at all, but I also give
people benefit of the doubt the first time they do something I don’t
like. Unless it’s something that directly affects me or a loved one,
I’ll normally let it slide. “

MichelleMcCool.Net: The WWE schedule is pretty unforgiving.
There have been several Superstars and Divas who have shared their
stories about being sick on the road, but they still competed on the
show. Aside from the time you ended up in the hospital for a broken
sternum and kidney issues, have you ever worked sick? Please say you
weren’t like Gregory Helms and you didn’t roll under the ring to throw
up, then came back to finish the match!

Michelle McCool: “Oh goodness, yeah…..all the time. I’ve
never thrown up under a ring, but I’ve definitely been sick and
worked…..ALOT (as I’m sure all the superstars have). A few weeks ago, I
had laryngitis and bronchitis which makes sucking wind pretty difficult
during matches I also had food poisoning at Tribute to the Troops this
year in Ft. Hood – that wasn’t fun!”

MichelleMcCool.Net: Last December was your first year ever to
do the Tribute to the Troops special. How was your experience? Were you
bummed you didn’t get to travel to Iraq? And be honest, if you got to
play with the huge guns, did everyone run for cover?

Michelle McCool: “Guess I kind of just answered that, huh?
The experience was great though. We had several appearances throughout
the morning and then again after the show. Seeing the soldiers and their
families so happy and so grateful is such an awesome feeling. They are
the true heroes!!!!!!”

MichelleMcCool.Net: Just by taking a glance at the WWE
schedule, we know you fly a lot! Sometimes on Twitter, the Superstars
and Divas will Tweet about their seat situations. What’s the best and
worst case scenarios for being on a plane?

Michelle McCool: “Window seat in first class or an exit row
window in coach (makes a huge difference for long legs). Worst has to
be middle seat and/or next to someone who won’t leave you alone or
waking up to someone next to you taking a picture of you while you were
sleeping – Creepy!!!”

MichelleMcCool.Net: Aside from your goals with WWE, did you
set any personal goals for yourself? Do you believe in New Years
Resolutions or are you more of a, “There’s no time like the present,”
believer?

Michelle McCool: “I’m not a New Year’s resolution kind of
gal. I do set goals for myself, but I don’t need a particular time of
the year to do it. I like to live in the present, always trying to
better myself in some way. I don’t like to settle!”

MichelleMcCool.Net: You mentioned on Twitter that seeing all
the pictures of people’s dogs made you want to get another one. What
kind of dog would you get? Would you be like Torrie, Layla and some of
the other girls who have brought their pets on the road?

Michelle McCool: “No, I wouldn’t bring my dog on the road
because I’m not a small dog person. I think I’d get another golden
retriever, without a doubt (& I can’t wait to do just that)!”
MichelleMcCool.Net: iMichelle. We know it’s probably a rare
moment to see you without your iPod, iPhone or iPad. What are some of
your favorite apps you have?

Michelle McCool: “Yeah, I rarely watch TV, but I always
have my iPad with me. Flight tracker pro sure is a nice app for our job!
I also like Simon Says (I know, I’m a dork) & YouVersion!”

Someone had a nose job.

Cool interview.

Yeah, get the spotlight at Wrestlemania you spotlight hogging bitch

Can you stop bringing negativity into Michelle threads? It was clearly stated that it was a McCool interview, and no matter what she says, you'd still bring something up.

I'm sorry but if you don't want to be in the spotlight at Wrestlemania, then you are either mentally retarded, or just trying to make yourself look humble.

that was a pretty cool interview!

Excuse you but I do recall people doing the same thing in Melina threads and that was quite fine and dandy with you yet I'm not allowed to express my opinions about this bitch. This is one of the reasons why I didn't want to come back. God forbid anyone say anything bad about Michelle.

before this gets out of hand drop it. I agree with x, unless its a bad thread about Melina or Michelle nothing negative shoulda been said, you know i love you mindy im not pickin faves im just saying. Plus this interview shows Michelle's human side, i liked it.
I'm not perfect cause i dont like Melina.
And X just tell her in a message, that way arguments dont have to happen and this thread getting locked.

I should still have the right to say what I want. Melina's done interviews like this as well and has gotten shit for it in the thread but it was always okay then, just never okay when I say something. I'm dropping it though, I'll probably be taking my own little break, I'm back in school now anyway

Hey! GUESS WHAT????

I'M BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!! Twisted Evil

So uhhhhhhhhh before this gets outta hand, take the McCool and Melina BASHING to the BASHING area so the others can discuss these topics in peace.

Thank you <333

Yay.

Glad Prince Blue is back.

About fucking time...

Sup, Blue?

I still dont really like Michelle but nice interview.

Nice Interview I like when wrestlers have interviews out of character; to see who they really are instead of the character.

I only love Maryse.

I dont like Michelle because i think she's a cocky bitch...given the reports i have read on her from fellow divas. She's been said to be hard at taking advice or criticism from others and has a chip on her shoulder (and this was way back in her OVW days or w/e before she became a top diva...God only knows how much worse her ego is right now)But I'd rather look at her than Melina...plus i secretly hope she reaches 7 title reigns so that she can join Trish on the pedestal that everyone placed Trish on.

Because Layla SCREAMS TALENT, right???

No, but she screams sexy.

Her voice kills it for me....along with her fans Twisted Evil

Don't look at me! lol

If there's one thing I'm not, that's a mark.

Her wrestling is eh, though she's improved a bit since her debut.

Wrestling.. eh. Looks... niiiiice. The only thing I dislike about her voice is when she speaks fast as fuck; she sounds like a damn preteen.

Layla has a nice butt..

I'd say so too.
