Okay, I’m kicking off my first post here with a bang! We’re going straight to one of my favorite places on the Internet, YouTube. And we’re going there because a few of the WWE Divas have been making appearances on other programming in the US. I don’t know about the readers here, but personally, I tend to go a little crazy for anything Michelle McCool is apart of, and the chance to see if the fact that she was a teacher is going to help our blonde Women’s Champion on the American version of “Are you smarter than a 5th grader” was something I couldn’t go past when I was looking for interesting things to share here.

Every time we see Michelle on WWE programming it seems that the commentary team like to emphasize her academic past. Which makes this episode all the more entertaining. So I’ll provide the videos here, and some comments at the end of them. Check out the videos and then have a read of what I thought, and provide your own thoughts! Enjoy!

(apologies for not embedding the clips in this post, but I’ve had issues with doing that. Hopefully this format is okay for now!).

As someone who has only ever watched the Australian version of 5th Grader, it took me a while to work out how this one works. I have to admit she didn’t get off to a very good start, also faltered in the middle, looked like she was getting there, and then failed at the end. All of this from the most academic diva that WWE seems to have. Well, the one that they advertise as being a very smart woman. It was amusing of course, and I know I enjoyed it. Maybe next time WWE should send someone that they haven’t built up as an academic!

Oh, and if i ever have to watch Jeff Foxworthy do a “diva” walk again, I may just possibly claw my eyes out. Some things should only be left to the people who do them best.
