Former Writer Defends Michelle McCool

Many have attributed Michelle McCool’s high-ranking status in World Wrestling Entertainment to her real-life relationship with The Undertaker. The two, who are now married, became a couple in late 2007 and she has been arguably the most spotlighted — and criticized — female competitor in the organization ever since. McCool herself is well aware of her critics as she frequently brushes them off on Twitter.

John Piermarini, a former writer with WWE, recently started a blog recalling numerous behind the scenes stories which occurred during his two year stint with the organization. He reveals that he was the exclusive writer of Lay-Cool and adamantly denies McCool receiving preferential treatment due to her relationship with The Undertaker.

Piermarini wrote, “Vince McMahon appointed me the exclusive writer for LayCool. Not because she got that special privilege but because we asked for it. Let me take this time to say Michelle McCool gets zero favors because she is married to Undertaker. Michelle McCool accomplished everything she got because she was the best.

“If you need to blame someone you need to blame me because I was the one who would push hard for anything Michelle got on TV. Michelle could wrestle and Michelle could talk, a lot of MALE Superstars can’t do that and Michelle would have been successful with or without Undertaker. There were a lot of people who wanted to see Michelle fail and she fought that the entire time I was there.â€￾

I guess that shuts down a lot of the talk that McCool got her spot because of the Undertaker.

She does work well on the mic and is definitely one of WWE's better diva performers inside the ring.

Thoughts?

It won't stop the talk, haters are gonna hate. Simple fact is that anyone starts being succesful the haters start coming out in full force. I for one have been enjoyings McCool work and even though I'm not a fan of blondes, I think she's hot. The simple fact that people have this crutch to lean on, they will continue using it no matter how many people come out and say the exact thing this guy just said.

I have been impressed by Michelle McCool for some time now and ever since her first title reign her wrestling has improved be a lot. Like the writer says she can not only wrestle she can actually talk plus as a bonus she is hot which is the icing on the cake. She has a great gimmick at the moment and gets the fans to get into the womens matches which rarely happens. She made the divas division actually matter almost single handedly which is a great feat.

The fact is the guy is no longer with WWE, so it is not like he had to say that, so I guess it should help things, mind you since he is no longer writing for her maybe if she regains the strap this Sunday the haters will have more reason to be suspersions.

Still fact is she is one of the best female talents in WWE right now, and a great heel, but I am not a big fan of the Laycool gimmick, for me it is A Beautiful People rip off, and just a lame steriotype based on Sex and the City or some TV Show.
