Candice Michelle Speaks On Disrespecting WWE Legend Shawn Michaels

Candice Michelle is the only name in professional wrestling history who had the privilege of being a Playboy Magazine Cover as well as becoming a Women’s Champion. A very few may be aware of this accolade as WWE portrayed her as a seductress for almost her entire career. She was forced to make out with her boss on a couple of occasions and it was definitely not a pleasant experience for her.

One of the mainstays of the women’s division during the mid-2000s had previously opened up about those incidents. In a recent interview with Voc Nation, Candice Michelle touched down a myriad of topics from learning how to become a pro wrestler after transitioning from her life as a model to breaking backstage etiquettes with HBK.

Bombshell Candice Michelle Accuses WWE Of False Promotions

Candice Michelle remembered the time she accidentally disrespected Shawn Michaels as she was still new to the company and learning things. She was not fully aware of the locker room norms at that time, being an import from Hollywood. So disruption in a meal for the Hall of Famer seemed okay to her while in reality, it was not.

“There’s so much learning,” Candice Michelle said. “When you go to a wrestling school, you learn that you should walk in and shake everyone’s hand. For me, coming from Hollywood, interrupting a Shawn Michaels eating his meal, that doesn’t seem respectful to me, it was always those hard moments of learning everything, every aspect of this business. When you’re new, and you’re not told those things, you can feel like a real (bad person) sometimes.”

Candice Michelle detailed her experience in WWE

As you can see before entering the world of WWE, Candice Michelle Michelle was trying to make it big as a model in the mainstream movie industry. She noted in that interview how she dealt with a lot of rejection from the entertainment industry in the process. Later, WWE’s thought made the most out of her appearance by letting her appear for Playboy or doing some adultery ads.

Afterward, Candice Michelle gave auditioning to be a part of the WWE Divas Search, the reality competition that was a tradition in WWE to find the next women’s superstar. She detailed an experience of the day she got a call from WWE to be a part of the contest.

“I had a very popular agency out here for my modeling gig. I’ll never forget this day either, it’s one of those turning points,” Michelle said. “I watched that as a kid – like religiously watched it – I grew up on it, it was what I did with my stepdad every Monday night. My mom would be yelling at us, I had the Hulk Hogan doll, not the Barbie doll.

To think that that could come full circle, for me they were really superstars; this wasn’t a job you could train for. I had never heard of an indy scene or wrestling school. I was so into really like the dreamland and the characters and how they made you believe in your dreams, I was like heck yeah I’m interested!”

Candice Michelle was advertised for RAW Legends Night back in early January. But as per her comments, it was a false promotion as WWE never called her for the appearance. Thus, her final TV show-up appeared to be the Raw Reunion night in 2019 where she won the WWE 24/7 Championship.
