WWE The Bash - Melina vs. Michelle McCool - Women's Championship

Roxy · 06-26-2009, 05:02 PM

Michelle is still improving, and right now she's one of the top female wrestlers on her brand, i'll go as far to say one of the top in the entire WWE. Some people like her wrestling, others don't. I personally love it, and i'll agree she is beyond horrible on the mic, her voice is awful, but she's enthusiastic about her work, and her matches haven't been entertaining because well, look at the opponents she has gotton. Though her match against Beth Phoenix a while back was pretty good, and most people seem to forget that one, same with her match with Gail a few weeks back. Even at Survivor Series she showed some short but great work when she was facing Mickie, they had chemistry and i guarantee if they faced one on one, then that'd match would probably be one of the best in McCools career.

As for looking good, i think she looks great, but that's all down to personal opinion in the end.

One of the best on Smackdown isn't saying much.

In the company, Beth, Mickie, Melina, Natalya, Katie, Gail, Maryse and Jillian are all better I'd say. Michelle obviously doesn't deserve such a prominent role, but ah well. It's only women's wrestling, I'll live.

I'd put Michelle above Maryse right now when it comes to the actual wrestling skill. Maryse was great prior her injury, going back to Survivor Series 08, Maryse was pulling out some fantastic offense, and was looking good, but since she hurt her knee, she doesn't seem to be doing much in the ring. It's show-boating, and her Boston Crab, maybe her finisher or the Stroke, end of match. But in terms of character, yeah Maryse wins it by alot.

That is a major problem with the argument with politics, why would Taker use something he is against? He is a well know figure-head backstage, he's hardly in the title hunt, rarely main-evented mania when he deserved it, and occasionally jobs - that alone tells you that he isn't a 'nasty' politician, so why would he do it for Michelle? Michelle has tried to be pushed for WWE for years, way before her title reign, and way before becoming head of the Smackdown Divas.

I know that Takeer has never taken advantage for himself, but it's different when it comes to someone outside yourself. I'm not saying you're wrong cos honestly I don't know either way, but I find it hard to believe that she went from nobody, to Champion in the space of twelve months without help.

As for wrestling style and looks, I'll agree that it's all opinion.

Roxy · 06-26-2009, 07:38 PM

Alright then.

I can see where you're coming from, but imho, I always felt Michelle was going to be pushed; screwing Taker or not. We'll never know for sure.

Back onto it, i'm also hoping Melina retains. I want Mickie to be the first to hold both titles, i like Michelle but she doesn't deserve it atm. She's worked hard, but Mickie holds one record when it comes to Womens Titles already, and it's not exactly a good one. So she should get this.

Michelle McCool can curl up and die for all I care. She's got less talent than Kelly Kelly left butt check.

That's harsh! Michelle is more interesting that Melina is AND better in the ring. Who, in the ring, is better than Michelle? Beth, Mickie, Gail are the only ones I'd say are definitely better, but that's all I'd say are.

LOL.

Haider troll. Michelle more interesting than Melina is a big ass no no. No wrestling fan would dare say something that silly.

Roxy · 06-27-2009, 02:51 AM

Actually, Melina really isn't all that interesting either. Now i'm not saying Michelle is the most interesting Diva in the whole wide world, because frankly, she isn't. But don't be so quick to say Melina is more interesting, because they're both as bad as each other. Michelle was some what interesting at the start of her heel turn, what with all the promos and such, and she's still kind of interesting now with her all-america-bitch character. What does Melina do? Come down to the ring, do the splits, wrestle, job/win and go home. Interesting? Not much. I'd also say Michelles finisher (even though she took it from AJ), is more interesting than Melinas, especially since Melinas current finisher really isn't as good as her last one. So yeah, Melina doesn't have much character to her, and her return wasn't an advancement to her character either. Melina just came back, won the womens title, and there where no reasons to be on her side. And she promos once every blue moon. That and Melina is just as bland as every other face Diva.

I agree with this. A character is what makes a wrestler watchable, they have to tell a story while putting on a match. I think Melina is very bland when it comes to her gimmick and character. Michelle at least shows her heel personality. Usually Melina is carried throughout the match and then
in the last couple of mins, she hits her finisher and picks up the win. Now I ask, what is so interesting about this? Michelle, during a match mocks the crowd and yells at them and does her heel job. That's what makes her interesting to watch, rather than watching a stale Melina in the ring just getting carried. And like Roxy said, all melina has done is return, win the title and leave, nothing special.

I don't find dominating 90% of the matches you're in and winning all of them by any way possible 'interesting'. I don't find her attempting to speak heelish in the hick voice of hers 'interesting'. She can't act, she can't sell, she can't do psychology. The only thing that's good about her is that she can wrestle somewhat decently enough, otherwise, Michelle is most definitely not interesting. You just see it that way because duh, she's pushed to the fucking moon.

By no means am I defending Melina here, lol (her face character sucks, but that could just be WWE booking for you), but I just don't see what's so interesting about Michelle tbh.
