Michelle Leigh McCool-Alexander (born January 25, 1980 in Palatka, Florida), also known simply as Michelle McCool. After first competing in the $250,000 2004 RAW Diva Search, she is now working as a Diva for the SmackDown! brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
World Wrestling Entertainment
Michelle McCool entered SmackDown! as a face with a personal trainer gimmick, a reference to a past job of hers. Unlike most of the other "Rookie Divas" who participated in the 2004 "RAW" Diva Search, McCool aimed to become an actual professional wrestler.*
McCool competed in the first ever SmackDown! Rookie Diva Contest with Joy Giovanni, Rochelle Loewen, and Lauren Jones, which was hosted by Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie. McCool came in second to Joy. She entered a feud with Dawn Marie and McCool's first SmackDown! wrestling match was a tag team match between McCool and her partner the Big Show against Dawn Marie and Rene Dupree. The match ended with Big Show pinning Dupree, but McCool and Marie would continue to feud. A couple months later, McCool became apart of a feud between MNM and Heidenreich. McCool would feud with MNM member Melina, which would lead to a Melina winning her first match in WWE. After that match, MNM attacked McCool. This was McCool's last match before heading to train in WWE's development territories.
McCool was allocated to WWE's Atlanta, Georgia territory, Deep South Wrestling. While in DSW she would wrestle, perform interviews, host segments and provide color commentary with Nigel Sherrod during DSW television tapings. She also got involved in a mini feud with Angel Williams. McCool was next moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling, where she would stay until a suitable gimmick was found for her WWE return. While in OVW, she would be paired with Amish Roadkill and Kasey James as their manager.
McCool made her return on the June 2, 2006 edition of SmackDown! as a face with a "sexy teacher" gimmick. On the July 14, 2006 edition of Smackdown!, Michelle along with Kristal Marshall got in a backstage catfight with Ashley Massaro and Jillian Hall.
Wrestling facts
McCool's original theme song, "Move It Up," was passed on to Jillian Hall, but is now used by Kristal Marshall. McCool's current theme song, "Not Enough For Me," was previously used by Torrie Wilson.
