Michelle McCool responde aos seus críticos sobre a sua relação com The Undertaker
Michelle McCool foi sempre criticada pela sua rápida ascensão na WWE e que muitos afirmam se dever a esta ser a companheira de Undertaker desde 2007. Muitos dizem que ela subiu na WWE devido a Undertaker fazer o lobbie para ela. Em entrevista ao Inside Wrestling, McCool teve oportunidade de se defender e disse:
"Bottom line: People in our business are always going to look to find reasons to see the negative in somebody and to become resentful. I don't really know where it began: probably with me getting the tag as "Diva Search reject." But I don't know anybody who, if they had an opportunity like the Diva Search, they wouldn't jump at it. If they didn't jump at it, they'd be idiots.
"People can say what they want to say, but at the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror. I know how hard I fought. I know how many storylines I pitched. I know how hard I worked in the ring. I can't tell you the number of times I was one of the first people at the arenas or at TV, constantly trying to better myself. I can honestly say that my hard work paid off. My resilience paid off. My persistence paid off. That's all there is to it. People are always going to say what they want to say and believe what they want to believe, but that's the bottom line."
