Heat In The TNA Locker Room Over WWE Diva Michelle McCool

In light of news of Michelle McCool suffering a leg injury at a recent house show, it can be said that no tears were shed in the TNA locker room.

Among people in WWE, McCool has a reputation for being a negative side of a diva and having attitude issues, but in TNA she has heat for stealing AJ Styles' finishing maneuver, the "Styles Clash."

Generally speaking, the proper etiquette among wrestlers is that if you want to blatantly use a maneuver that someone else is using as their signature, you must first ask permission to do so unless they are no longer active. If the maneuver is something that has been used among wrestlers for decades, it is no big deal, but if it something that comes of as the wrestler in question invented it ? or at least popularized it ? it is proper etiquette to at least ask first.

McCool is well aware that another wrestler presently active in wrestling is using the very same maneuver as her. We have it on a good authority that a person in WWE asked McCool herself if she realized she's using a move someone else is using. When asked, McCool replied, "Yeah! I saw it on TNA one time! Some wrestler was using it and I thought it was cool!"

Essentially, that is how the conversation went and the feeling is that she didn't even know who AJ Styles was or what the move was actually called. She pretty much saw the move, thought it was cool, figured out how to do it, and copied it. When word of her reaction got back to people in TNA, it got her even more heat among wrestlers in the locker room.

While no wrestler wants to see others get hurt, suffice it to say, there were no tears shed over her recent injury.
