Heat on McCool, Too?

Sigh. My first Michelle McCool post and it has to do with people who seem to dislike her. Go figure.

SEScoops is reporting that there isn't just heat on Snooki and Michael Cole at the moment, but also on WWE Diva Michelle McCool.

Citing an anonymous but prominent Raw Superstar, they quote his words as saying:

"We bust our asses 250 days a year on the road.
Snooki will cut right into everybody's WrestleMania
paydays. And the show is built around Rock; who is not full-time, and Austin, from another era, too; Michael
Cole, who doesn't go on the road; Jerry Lawler, who doesn't go on the road; Snooki, who is a three-shot
appearance, and Michelle McCool, who is Undertaker's
wife and therefore doesn't even go on the road with
Layla El, who has to represent LayCool all by herself
while her partner gets preferential treatment because of
who she married!"

It should be noted that nobody has issues with Triple H or Undertaker in their spots at the pay-per-view, though they do question WWE's decision to build a lot of their show around people who aren't going to be there long-term this time around (Trish Stratus, Rock, Austin). Former WWE Diva Candice Michelle said recently in an interview that while she understands how wise it is for WWE to capitalize on the Jersey Shore craze, that it puts out a lot of Divas who worked hard to get to WrestleMania.

I should also note that currently Michelle McCool is tending to an injured foot that hopefully should be good to go by WrestleMania. But this is not the first time I've heard people complain about her marriage to the Deadman.

Whoever was complaining to SEScoops about this needs to understand that WWE needs more pay-per-view buys and the company hasn't been in the best shape for a while now. Fans are willing to buy more pay-per-views based on familiar faces. Which means more money for everyone in the long run.
