Freddie Prinze Jr. remembers Michelle McCool getting faint after hearing the news
While conversing on his show, Freddie recalled WWE once tasked him to create a story for Kia Stevens (Kharma) and Beth Phoenix for the 2009 Wrestlemania. The former writer remembered creating a storyline that got the approval from WWE chairman of the board, Vince McMahon.
However, the storyline required the WWE Divas Championship to be on the line. But, the title was with Michelle McCool and Freddie had to deliver the news to her. Freddie stated that he was new and unaware of the backstage politics in WWE.
So, when he delivered the news, Michelle was heartbroken. The Scooby-Doo star claimed her face fainted, and she was in tears. He said:
“I explain to her that the suggestion is that she drops the title at the Royal Rumble… and her face just goes pale, all the color just drops right out of her, literally right out of her skin … her eyes well up.”
Freddie admits it was her reaction that made him realize how much the title meant to Michelle. The former writer also revealed that Michelle wasn’t expecting to lose the title before Wrestlemania.
