Life is weird sometimes. One day you're a teacher in Palatka, Florida. The next day you're the WWE Divas champion. That ever happen to you? If so you may have something in common with Michelle McCool. She tried out for the 2004 WWE Diva Search and got it. Suddenly she went from spelling lessons to submission lessons. If you've ever taught children then you know that sometimes you just want to put them in a torture rack, so I can see how the two careers mix.
She's held several Diva titles for extended periods of time, so she's no slouch in the ring. She's since retired but her life as an entertainment personality blossomed after her big competition win with the Diva search. In 2010 she was even named the #1 in 'Pro Wrestling Illustrated's' top fifty list.
