Well folks, we knew it was going to come and bite WWE in the ass one day! All those bikini contests, mud wrestling matches, HLA etc., etc. Pretty great ammo for a political mud-slinging competition, wouldn’t you say? According to The Daily Caller, former WWE CEO Linda McMahon‘s political opposition Rob Simmons is using many a trashy WWE segment in his bid to beat McMahon to a Senate seat.
In particular, Simmons and The Daily Caller bring to light the numerous T&A segments used on WWE television:
The wrestling league has always drawn fire from conservative critics who saw cartoon-like entertainment being marketed to kids that also happened to include two lady wrestlers locking lips, the unveiling of Playboy covers at wrestling matches, and segments flirting with bondage themes and necrophilia. The WWE’s era of explicit programming climaxed with an infamous romp under the covers in the middle of a wrestling ring.
Perhaps more interestingly however, is Simmons’ bringing to light now former WWE Diva Candice Michelle’s history of starring in fetish movies. The article however, incorrectly refers to Candice as if she were currently under employment — WWE released Candice in June of last year.
The article features quotes from Candice and let’s just say, they make for a fascinating read. Follow the cut for more:
But unknown until now – even, they say, to her campaign and top WWE officials, are dozens of sexual fetish movies starring a popular WWE diva released over several years the diva was under the employ of McMahon’s WWE.
The titles of these movies include classics like “Bare Breasted Bondage Girls,” “Tied, Gagged and Frightened!,” “Girls Will Chloroform Girls!” and “Dirty Soled Dolls.”
The WWE diva who appeared in those films, Candice Michelle, starred in 58 fetish movies between 2002 and 2006, mostly under the name Mackenzie Montgomery.
Michelle wants you to know that none of these movies are pornography. “I have never, ever done porn in my life,” Michelle told The Daily Caller. “The most I ever did in any of these is topless … You will never see insertion into any orifice of my body or you will never see a penis actually touching any orifice of my body … I guess I feel like I’m a great actor because man you guys really think I did porn for some reason! I must have done something good in those films. It’s not porn at all.”
Not porn, just some fetish movies Michelle did to make ends meet when she was young and needed the money. “I was trying to discover myself and trying to make it and survive out in L.A. … No, I don’t regret it. Is it something I’d put on my résumé to show a Hollywood producer? No. This is what I did to make it to where I am.”
Still, the movies and their titillating titles might make McMahon a little anxious up in Connecticut. “I would be on set and if it was for my feet, like, I would be sitting on a patio and they would just film my feet. It’s so simple that it’s almost hard to believe it’s that simple. I think once in a while we did do, like, with the tie-up ones, there might be some kind of a corny story of some other girl coming and tickling you while I’m tied up because tickling is a fetish,” Michelle said.
According to Michelle and top WWE officials, neither WWE — and certainly not McMahon! — knew about the movies while Michelle was climbing up the WWE ladder from on-screen makeup artist to champion wrestler.
“During [McMahon’s] tenure with the company her job was always the business side. Never at any point of her time with WWE was she involved in content or creative or talent selection. And she certainly wasn’t aware of the situation with Candice Michelle,” WWE’s Michelle Wilson said. (WWE is taking this matter as seriously as if you called their wrestling fake).
Neither is that sort of thing permitted any more at WWE which, as of about two years ago, embraced a “PG” standard in response to the criticism it was getting. WWE now conducts an extensive “background check” on potential divas to screen them for a kinky movie past, Wilson said.
Before the “PG era,” as WWE wrestlers and executives call it, they didn’t take this thing so seriously. When WWE was alerted to another movie of Michelle’s, a late-night cable skin flick, they ignored it because Michelle said it was shot before her contract with WWE was signed in 2003. Michelle also says all 58 fetish movies were shot before her WWE contract as well.
Besides, she said the cable skin flick was just an accident. “The other film that is probably on there that gets you guys curious or whatever you want to call it is – I think it’s called ‘Hotel Erotica’ … I call it a ‘skinimax’ movie … To me at the time, I think I was 19, I thought: ‘Oh, this is a great opportunity. I have nine scenes in a movie and then one is the sex scene it all cultivates [sic] to.’ My mistake was not reading the entire script. When you read the entire script there’s two or three other girls that have two other sex scenes in there and then before you know it it’s actually a ‘skinimax’ movie and not an HBO movie.”
Michelle, if you were wondering, would “absolutely” vote for McMahon, whom she calls “prim and proper … she’s the sweetest lady you will ever meet.”
WWE has a long, long history of embarassing situations involving the Divas and quite frankly, I am going to enjoy watching them return to haunt them. I can’t wait to see how these are explained away. Gosh, I love dirty politics!
The comments from Candice on her fetish movies — I don’t know why but they make me blush a little bit. “You will never see a penis actually touching any orifice of my body.” Wow! I think this is one of those situations where the more you try to explain, the worse it sounds.

Kinda makes it seem like the current PG-edness is not even important in their eyes. People will always bring up the past. I hated those things but still.
LMAO ohhh revenge in sweet.
is* dang botching xD
God I love revenge!
lol; sucks for Linda.
The line about FIFTY EIGHT fetish films nearly made my eyes pop out of my head. Lord, that certainly isn’t a passing career phase.
i was actually thinking earlier about linda’s bid for whatever it is and how they’re showing the ladies presently all wrestling in dresses and in bikinis in leg matches and hot tub matches etc, and how bad that must be, especially as linda is, ya know.. a woman. maybe they’ll move taking the divas more seriously higher up on their list of to dos now? but yeah.. it’s kinda fun in an evil way how everythings coming back to haunt them.
Wow that was…interesting. WWE really cannot be shocked with Linda’s competition bringing this to light. I’m big on politics as well as wrestling I never suspected a collision like this very interesting. lol @Erin I know 58…WoW!
Bullshit Linda didn’t know. Everyone knew about Candice’s movies! Shoot, just type her name into Google image search and you’ll figure out what she did before WWE.
Honestly, I think that there are many more offensive Diva’s segments to be highlighting. Torrie’s lesbian storyline and Trish being forced to bark like a dog are the first that spring to mind.
@ Erin I actually said “58?!” out loud when I saw that, LOL
Well…can’t say I’m surprised. They (WWE) are DEFINITELY not saints by any means…but (I know I’m going to be flamed, so I’m ready for the torches)…enjoying watching it turn around and biting them in the carcass is kinda…well, pathetic.
NO…I’m NOT defending WWE whatsoever for the past, I’m just calling it like I see it.
Aren’t fetish movies porn, in particular if they have a sexual element, though? Japan says “YES”! Either way, it’s not a good look. It’s not like Linda herself did the movies, but it does seem strange, though, considering that a company that’s marketed towards families would (continue to) hire in such a way – it’s like having a former stripper for a clown at your kids birthday or something. And why do they have to look like porn stars, which some of them (not…all…) of them most assuredly do (particularly w/the breast implants which in no way help their wrestling). I don’t think about it too much, but when stuff like this comes up I can’t help but reflect on that sometimes; seems a bit slanted.
It stands to reason when you hire supposed-escorts, nude/porn models, etc. there’s going to be some backlash. And no, that’s not to be I-told-you-so about it – it just is what it is. I was surprised by how many Candice did, too. Dang, girl! It doesn’t wash to me when people say, “Oh, they just needed money” etc. because there are always alternatives, that or be poor. If you’re about doing the deed then just do it, don’t try to downplay or disown it (not saying anyone has). If it’s over and done then it just is. : / Actions lead to consequences, and in spite of this current PG effort they’re still having to deal with it.
Bitchay!! Man some politicians are more catty than Sunny! I just hope they dont bring Mickie James past up. Now THAT will get ugly. dum dum dummmmmm.
I love drama as long as I’m not directly afected by it!! So I’m pretty happy to hear this, sucks to be Linda….
RedHotVixen-LMAO @ Sunny comment :D
This is funny! Lol can’t say I feel bad. Revenge is coming back to bite them in the a$$ for sure! haha
Btw, can someone tell me how to add a picture to my account? I see several people with pictures when they leave comments. I was wondering how I could upload one for myself? :)
Oh wow. I’d love to see a campaign ad about Katie Vick.
you have to click a gravatar link and follow the steps. Going through your wordpress account you just assign a photo to the email address you use for Diva dirt. It should show up as right away. Your smarter than me by asking I wouldn’t post until I figured it out 4 months later lol.
You think after doing 58 fetish films ms candice would realize that signing up for a film called “hotel erotica” would be a skinimax film.
You will never see a penis actually touching any orifice of my body.
She’s pregnant right ?
Immaculate Conception ?
This much heat and Candice is gone from the company, Mickie still on the payroll.
Ugly is right.
@ TrishMelinaFan- Thank you, thank you. I’m here all night. =) But seriously, that part of Candice’s life is over. She has moved on and is trying to start a family. I know politics is a dirty business, but to do that to someone who isnt even part of the company anymore is just a lowblow- insert dirty joke here. These people should just leave Candice and her, um, orifices alone. Sorry, I couldnt resist.
These guys should be shot by trying to butt into Candice’s life like this. She did all those films before she joined WWE. Just because they were released during her WWE Tenure dosen’t mean she did them during her WWE Tenure. These guys have no morales especially now that Candice is heavily pregnant and is going to give birth soon. They really need to get a life and leave well alone.
Let’s hope they don’t discover that a still employed Diva, who has done way more reavealing photos, than Candice ever did and who – btw – was their Womens-Champion just a few months ago…
Now there’s a scandal to tap in… not a girl, who did some fairly harmless stuff under a different name – including Playboy, who isn’t even employed anymore.
what goes around comes around!
I’m surprised they never mentioned Ashley. You’d think having an alleged escort working for you company would be a lot worse than some softcore porn star.
I’ve been actually following Linda’s campaign and let me just say that it’s been one of the most unfair, one-sided affairs ever. The way politicians and critics are bashing her is just ridiculous. This Candice stuff is just part of a long line of BS they’ve dug out against her. She was the CEO of the company, the business side of things. Vince, Johnny Ace, etc have a more hands on approach to the talent, who gets hired, etc. This article loses all credibility as it implies that Candice is still employed by WWE, as you mentioned in the report. They’ve bashed her for the steroids scandal, violent content, the Eugene character, among other things. Those might be valid grounds, but this is just stupid now.
This Rob Simmons jerk has been on Linda’s case for weeks now. I bet he probably watched those fetish movies in secret, lol. Name one politician that isn’t corrupt or shady? Linda’s time in WWE should be separate from this, because it should have no bearing on her political policies.
I for one hope she wins.
aww poor Candice :/
but WWE knows that Mickie did porn?
lol oh well she probably should have thought about the divas before entering this,
she’s probably going to be made to seem sexist or something, after all they did fire Candice by saying she was too fat sorry ‘turned up not looking like a Diva’ or whatever the crock they said was, next week they’ll probably dig up Mickie’s sex tape
Folks, as someone who has called CT home all 36 years of his life, I KNEW THAT THIS SENATE RACE WAS GONNA JUMP BIGTIME FUGLY WITH LINDA MCMAHON IN THE RACE FOR THE GOP NOMINATION. Now I am not voting either McMahon nor for former CIA operative and Washington Insider Rob SImmons. My pick in this race is economist Peter Schiff who has enjoyed a following outside of CT as a cult hero. He also served as Texas Congressman Ron Paul’s financial advisor (by the way not to turn d-d into something political but RON PAUL 2012 OR AMERICAN LIBERTY DIES!). He CALLED THE ECONOMIC MELTDOWN the US is now facing…AND THE ESTABLISHMENT LAUGHED AT HIM! WHO HAS THE LAST LAUGH NOW WALL STREET FAT CATS?!
The problem with CT is for the Democrats they are pitching Attorney General Richard Blumenthal who has as much charisma as spore mold and is a VERY corrupt politician. This is the race that is looking to replace the ultimate DC insider Chris Dodd who has had ties to Countrywide Real Estate and basically turned tail and ran to Iowa to run for President. About this time last year, Dodd announced his retirement (Thank GOD!) from the Senate.
Again, not looking to turn this into a political discussion, but since it IS LINDA MCMAHON, let this Yankee Nutmegger lay the smackdown on her by telling her she is a NEO-CONSERVATIVE and not a true conservative like Schiff is. McMahon would make CT the UTMOST DISGRACE OF ALL 50 STATES BY TURNING THE US SENATE INTO AN EVEN BIGGER CIRCUS THAN IT ALREADY IS!
THEN AGAIN MOST PEOPLE HERE WANT TO TALK ABOUT UCONN WOMEN’S BASKETBALL AND THEIR 78 GAME WIN STREAK AND BACK TO BACK NATIONAL TITLES! HUMPH!
“I guess I feel like I’m a great actor because man you guys really think I did porn for some reason! I must have done something good in those films. It’s not porn at all.”
LOL that’s pretty funny. Some people consider nude photos pornography. And she did a lot more than pose for nude photos. She did simulated sex scenes.
Sure, as she said “You will never see insertion into any orifice of my body or you will never see a penis actually touching any orifice of my body” but it’s not like it wasn’t kind of graphic.
Either way, I hate that it’s being brought up now just to smear Linda. Actually I feel bad for Candice but I’m laughing at Linda.
Im surprised some people are angry that Linda is being criticized for what her business does. Isnt it fair to point out the way in which she treats her employees?
i also think its weird that candice is getting the beef but not mickie. maybe they will google and find this post?
The WWE barely treats their female athletes with the respect they deserve. And now that their primitive notions are being brought to light, another woman is taking the brunt of it. *sigh.
Revenge is oh so sweet…..
Poor Candice though , all though Mickie did do some naked pics , but she nvr did a porn tape. She said it herself in a interview ppl…pictures not porn film…nd if she did that was way b4 wwe , what does that have to do with anything. These ppl r just trying to find anthing possible to ruin ppl…Hell what are they gonna say next..
Candice shouldn’t have been dragged into this, she isn’t even employed. But they’ll probably pick on Mickie next. So long Mickie haha, I wish her the best on her future endeavours!
Seriously though, people aren’t dumb, they know wrestling is scripted. It’s not like Linda said she wanted to hire porn stars and then get old ladies to bark like dogs and give birth to hands, that’s creative’s side of things. Linda is strictly business. Whoever she’s facing is like a male Michelle McCool (well her gimmick) and being petty. Linda will be the more mature candidate I’m sure.
Hell, Divas such as Maryse, Gail Kim and Tiffany have also done nudes before, but they were done before they entered WWE much ike Mickie and Candice.
@Goodnightddtmnm Good point. But, like Mickie’s past, all of Candice’s stuff(except for the Playboy cover) were also from before she even entered WWE, as well. Candice has aso been pretty open about her past, as evidenced by her past radio interviews. Judging by those interviews regarding this subject matter, it wasn’t something she’s proud of, but she wouldn’t change it since it was a learning eperience for her.
Point, I’m trying to make is all of this was in the past and has no bearing on who and what these people are now in the present. Maybe these politicians should be focusing on their own issues instead of all this pointess mud-slinging.
I once again must respectfully disagree with the majority of you. I think Linda’s role of the company, which is that of a former CEO, and not a victim to creative as one person alluded to is relevant. The fact is, the McMahons have made a fortune off of amongst many things, the degradation of women. Especially amongst conservative politicians, and her opponent from the sounds of it is a fellow republican, “family values” are looked upon as the biggest criteria.
While I agree that Candice shouldn’t necissarily be brought into it, it is but one of many examples that has been brought to the table against linda. The earliest I can recall, and best example is the Trish barking like a dog storyline.
Those who oppose linda, and i couldnt care less if she wins, nor am i a hater, feel that this shows she would do anything for a dollar, and isnt the type of politican i agree with. once again, i could care less about morals and politicians, but as i said earlier this is usually the most important factor when it comes to people voting for republicans.
(one note of bitchiness, some of us need to make better use of a spellcheck).
Candice’s videos were all filmed before she entered the WWE, so this shouldn’t really be an issue. It’s like Simon Rex’s solo tapes getting him fired from MTV. So she did some fetish work, so what? That doesn’t affect the job she did in WWE, were she became a competent wrestler and champion.
The whole fetish work being porn or not is a confusing subject. Fetish work and the skinimax film she did are often roped into the porn label, basically because it’s used with one reason in mind, but other people look at porn as straight forward sex on tape. That’s why Candice’s comment about penises and orifices actually makes sense. She didn’t insert anything into herself and that’s what lots of people count porn as. I’d say she’s done fetish work and soft-core porn (the skinimax movie).
Also, she won’t have filmed 58 different movies; the scenes she filmed will have been reproduced for other movies, so she might have done 20 scenes that have been used in 58 movies. That’s why it sounds so much.
Candice has nothing to be ashamed of, and I’m glad she isn’t. The WWE also has nothing to be at blame for here. I’m counting down the minutes until they find Mickie James past out; after all she did insert things into her orifices!
As for the diva’s segments; the majority of the audience was adolescent (and older) males when they were having HLA, and bra & panties and the like. I wonder why they would promote female sexuality to adolescent males? Hmm….
I’m sure the WWE have offended many, many people with how they’ve promoted women in the past. But the diva’s made A LOT of money for the WWE when they were promoting swimsuit calanders and magazines, as well as the Playboy magazines. Linda McMahon was in charge of the business side of WWE, and these segments helped the WWE make A LOT of good business.

Politics has always been and always will be about dredging up the past and using it to embarass your opponent. It’s a not a new concept that is just hitting WWE and Linda, it’s been done for years and years. It may have been in the past but it’s still relevant because that’s the landscape of politics today whether or not we agree with it.
Linda and WWE should have expected all of this to be thrown back in their faces and that is exactly what is happening. If they weren’t expecting this mud-slinging, they are incredibly naive.
I do think it’s interesting they didn’t mention that Vince McMahon arranged several segments in which he made out with Candice. I’m sure he had no clue Candice had done fetish movies! :P
Every body go to youtube and type in ” mickie james jenny jones” she was a wild child
OMG!! MICKIE JAMES DID PORN? CANDICE MICHELLE DID PORN? DONT TELL ME THAT THEY HIRED STRIPPERS AND OTHER ADULT MAGAZINE STARS!! NOOO…NOOO..NOOOO!! (someone whispers..”even fitness models”…) ohhh…ok!! LOL sheesh, i was wondering when they (the other side) was going to start this up…If linda mcmahon gets elected senator from connecticut..what is joe lieberman going to do? LOL WRESLTE LINDA FOR THE SENIOR SENATE SPOT!! FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE..IN THE SENATE FLOOR OR OUTSIDE THE DOOR!!! LOL PAY PER VIEW.I CAN SEE IT NOW!! ,LOL (sorry about the yelling, i just couldnt pass this up…lol)
ive saw a candice film and she was doing more than she says she did she was in a bath naked the other girlcomes in the make out and play with each other and do stuff to each other so shes lying
and that guy shouldnt use this with linda she wasnt part of half of them
@ gavin harvey
No she didn’t lie. She talks about some of the foot fetish work she did and the skinimax film she did. She didn’t talk about the specific film you saw, but she still didn’t get penetrated so where did she lie?
@ Ayzali – Thank you so much. I figured it out & actually got it to work lol. Thank you again! :)
@ Gavin Harvey – There is a difference between having real sex and having simimulated sex on camera. Appearing nude and pretending to have sex is as far as she went. But even if Candice did have actual sex on camera, it doesnt give people the right to rip her apart. I never was a fan of hers but some of us need to practise some empathy.
tiffany did playboy afew months back so wwe doesnt care too much.
candice did do some of those films while under wwe contract & she lied….
but who cares wat mickie,maryse did before wwe thats not wwe’s fault they cant make choices for people who aint under contract why not pick on batista & john cena for roid abuse since they use it & wwe dont test them……plus shouldnt she be judged on how she works in office & her politics then what a company does…
