Former — or should that be half current? — Women’s Champion, Michelle McCool says she wants to earn respect for her work in the WWE, speaking in a new interview with her official website. McCool also notes that she ‘fights for the Divas division’ and wants to see it flourish. She says:
I want people to know that this is genuinely a business I absolutely adore! A business that, at times, drives me crazy because of how much I love it! That, no matter what anyone might say, they can not take away the fact that I work hard in the ring, out of the ring (creatively), pitching ideas right & left, fighting for the divas, wanting more, never being satisfied, always striving to climb a little more, trying to put together the best possible match with whomever I’m in the ring with, etc…. I just want the divas division to always continue to flourish and not just “settle!”
Elsewhere in the interview, she says one of the things she wants to be remembered for is ‘not giving up on the Divas division’.
McCool also comments on the Diva releases this past year — including Maria, Mickie James and Katie Lea — saying:
I, like I think most people, was VERY shocked!!!! I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself once people start getting released. 99% of the time, you grow very close to the ones we work with (since we are together more with each other than with our own families) & it makes it that much harder!
A lot is said about Michelle on the Internet, but I certainly can’t deny her passion and enthusiasm for the Divas division. WWE disappoints us a lot with subpar treatment or the Divas and I’m sure it’s just as frustrating for the Divas themselves but it’s always nice to hear that these girls want more, just as we do as fans.
