While it seems SmackDown’s answer to Trish and Lita are destined to face off in the ring, there are rumblings that Michelle McCool and Natalya haven’t been getting along backstage. Read below:
There is said to be some legit heat between SmackDown Divas Michelle McCool and Natalya Neidhart. It’s all due to a recent incident involving the two.
McCool reportedly tried to re-teach Natalya, an 8-year wrestling veteran, on how to lock up correctly. She also wanted to show her how to work “WWE style.” Apparently, Neidhart didn’t take McCool’s attempt to teach her on her wrestling too well.
Gee, ya think?! Could you imagine a Diva Search contestant trying to teach you how to wrestle? Especially when you’re part of the Hart family?! Whatever the story is here, the part that irks me the most is “WWE style.” To translate, “WWE style” means “watered down.” As I’ve written here on the site in so many reviews, I just love watching Natalya wrestle, this girl has more ring presence than any of the other Divas and her matches are physical, intense and exciting. I don’t want to see her watered down!

Lol. It just makes me lol. I think this push that Michelle is getting is making her a little too big for her boots. She should have some dam respect and learn to realise that Natalya is the one who could teach her a thing or two and not the other way around.

Wow honestly thats just sad. McCool needs a fucking brain, just becuase you are sleeping with a veteran doesnt mean you get to disrespect others. Who the hell does she think she is telling a 3rd Generation veteran wrestler how to lock up??

Is this from the same source that said Melina and Mickie hated each other
July 3, 2008 at 12:25 pm
if i were Natalya i woudnt have appreciate that !
July 3, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Sounds like a little miff to me. Hopefully it’s not a big deal.
July 3, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I hate to be the 1 to disagree with u all but I personally think michelle was just trying to help natalya becuase they will be in the ring alot with each other and michelle wants them to be comfortable??
IDK anyway who knows if this is true or even if michelle and taker are dating we dont know because they are RUMORS!!
July 3, 2008 at 12:57 pm
honestly i do agree with kristen.
it did seem as that michelle just wanted to help natalya.
besides natalya does kinda seem mean out of the ring.
so yeah i dont think this is michelle’s fault at all
but who really knows
maybe michelle was being bitchy or maybe natalya was being bitchy

The only thing Michelle could teach Natalya to do properly is lay on her back for the Deadman.
July 3, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I agree with Kristen.
I love Natalya but I think its Natalya who probally thinks high of herself. Of course she’s one hell of a wrestlers acd she just maybe thought Michelle was dissing her when in reality she was just trying to get used to her since we’ve never seen them one on one
but idk
like Kristen said RUMORS!
lol

Haha funny stuff. I don’t think it’s true, though, considering the source it came from.
And to the people claiming Michelle’s fucking ‘Taker.. please prove it. I’ve heard of neither confirming it and I’ve also seen reports of ‘Taker dating ‘normal’ women. Honestly, you all think because they’ve been photographed together often that they’re doin’ the dirty. I have a lot of guy friends, none of which I’ve had sexual relations with. (:

If its true, sounds like Michelle is a wee bit too big for her boots. Nattie has been in the business a hell of a lot longer than her, so I think Michelle should show her some respect..
July 3, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Unless there’s reliable proof as to where this rumour is coming from, then I can’t say I believe it. If Michelle was trying to teach Natalya, she was probably trying to give some advice, obviously Natalya and the Wrestling Observer took it the wrong way. If a co-worker has some helpful tips, you don’t brush it off. Michelle and Natalya are some of WWE’s premiere Divas, and I don’t think that should be overlooked.
July 3, 2008 at 6:00 pm
I don’t believe it’s true. Michelle is too kind to rub people the wrong way.
July 3, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Michelle shouldn’t be trying to teach Nattie anything. Michelle’s a novice, Nattie’s is pretty much a veteran next to her. If any of you have a job, try going up to the person that has been working there the longest and tell him/her how to do something and see how that person reacts. It’s insulting and disrespecful. Especially in this case where Michelle was trying to teach Nattie how to lock up, which has to be the very first thing you learn while training to wrestle. It’s like any of the young guys going up to the Triple H’s the Undertakers, the Shawn Michaelses and trying to teach them how to do it. It’s an insult and Michelle needs to learn her place.

I hope Nattie beats the shit out of hee hehe
July 3, 2008 at 7:51 pm
I’m sure she didn’t really mean any harm, I guess since she’s been doing “WWE” style longer than Nattie that she just wanted to show her how to do it I guess. But Nattie doesn’t have to be so defensive if it IS true. Just because she’s part of the “almighty” Hart Family, she not above learning new things, no matter who she’s learning it from. IDK, it sounds like BS to me.

True or not, there IS a WWE way of doing things. Natalia wrestled the independent circuit before coming to the WWE which is different than what the WWE does. Plus it could have been a case of michelle showing Natalie what she expects her to do so there are not any surprises during their matches. Those photos of Michelle with 2 black eyes were directly caused by either Michelle being out position or Victoria doing something unexpected during one of their matchs. Plus both Melinda and Candice were both injured by doing or having something done to them during the match that was not expected. Keep in mind that an improper hold can really hurt someone so the two people wrestling each other need to know what the other is going to do.

Michelle McCool didn’t have the right to try and “teach” someone who has more expirence then she does. Even if there is a WWE style of doing things there are people like Fit Finlay that could teach her that.
