Divas Champion Michelle McCool has posted a blog on her WWE Universe page where she talks about all the criticism she's getting. She says people forget that it's not easy to do all the things she does, to go down a road less traveled. She has been working her butt of for over four years now, training, pitching in storylines, working in the ring and doing appearances.


One of the criticisms is that she doesn't use her finisher "Wings of Love" anymore, but that is not her fault she says. Wings of Love is another finisher that's on WWE's banned list it seems, because McCool is not allowed to do it anymore. She has another finisher already planned out, but she's not allowed to use it on TV until they approve it. "Hopefully it is not too rough for us girls," she adds.

-------------------------------------------------

Any thoughts why WWE would ban it? It just seems weird.

okay, her finisher was nothing more than a modified version of X-Pac's X Factor finisher, right? If it was, why the hell did they ban it, and even if it's something different (I know it's actually just her doing Christopher Daniel's Angel's Wings finisher), why ban it. I can see why with moves like the Piledriver and Shooting Star Press (when it was banned), but what is so dangerous about her finisher?

Actually its more of a pedigree then the x factor. The only reason I could think of is Triple H didn't want her doing a variation of his move. But that's my only reason.

That's what I thought too at first. I was like: It looks a bit like the Pedigree, I don't think it's gonna last long. I mean, they already banned CM Punk's Pepsi Plunge for a similar reason.

"I haven't used it in quite some time now, but that's not by choice," she said. "Truth is, I'm not allowed to use it anymore. Apparently, it was too devastating for us girls! Seriously."

Her finisher, i thought, was a Heel Hook move. Wrestling or not wrestling that move is stiff.

CM Punk chose not to do the move because it was causing problems with his knees when he lands it. None the less, WWE would have banned it anyway thinking the move would probably be too dangerous to perform.

Well, I think the 'dangerous' reason is bullcrap. Beth Phoenix essentially does the same thing, just with them facing outwards rather than inwards.

her old finisher was effectively Christopher Daniels Angel Wings finisher, she does a heel hook submission, her new finisher if im not mistaken is a rip off from the Styles Clash performed by AJ Styles.

Probably a lift by the arms. I can believe it's something really stiff, because all the weight of your body is suspended on your arms, that are not in an usual position.

Well that was the move that she beat Natalya with, and that was the last time I payed attention to Michelle McCool. Now I just change channels because I still think she doesn't deserve to be called a champion.
