Major Backstage Heat On Michelle McCool, Fans Camping Out, More
In the SmackDown Divas locker room, there is a bit of resentment from some of the ladies towards reigning WWE Divas Champion Michelle McCool. Whether it's true or not, the feeling is that McCool has some power as the star of the women's division on SmackDown and that she comes across like the veteran leader even though she doesn't really have that much experience in the wrestling business. This was actually the case before McCool won the WWE Divas Championship at The Great American Bash last Sunday as the belt doesn't have anything to do with the resentment. A few weeks ago, Natalya Neidhart was reportedly upset with McCool due to a behind the scenes incident involving the two in which McCool tried to show her how to lock up correctly and how to work "WWE style," which is more about telling a story in the ring than doing a bunch of random moves. On the other hand, McCool doesn't really appear to be in the wrong, and all of this probably has more to do with the typical wrestler mentality of someone becoming a star when others think they're not as good as they themselves are, and then they come up with reasons why. Also, since McCool in involved in a real-life relationship with Undertaker, it would appear that some of the resentment and jealousy towards her is due to that. In other words, when a Diva is dating a Superstar wrestler and then gets a push, that's obviously going to get people talking.
Jason sent this in: My and a friend actually camped out at the Scotrade Center last night to get tickets for the Aug 31 Supershow in St. Louis. We were about 6th in line and still couldn't get floor seats. I guess WWE or Scotrade Center or both had presales and gave away enough tickets for promotions that there were none left when tickets went on sale this morning. Total BS. We waited in line for over 12 hours. I'm not sure if this is a WWE problem or a Scotrade problem but I will definitely never wait in line again. I think the people buying online had a better chance at floor seats. Note From Ryan Clark: I don't mean to call you an idiot but the whole reason they do online pre-sales is to avoid people sleeping outside the arena box offices and also to give fans with internet access a chance to get tickets a little quicker. Of course the floor seats were going to be sold first!! If you had known there was a pre-sale then it was a dumb thing to sleep outside knowing that tickets had already gone on-sale the day before. Let the lessons be learned.
