#2 Michelle McCool

And you thought the whole teacher thing was just a gimmick

You guys remember when Michelle McCool came into the WWE? She was given this weird gimmick as a school teacher and no one really knew why? Well, the reason for that is that McCool has a Master’s degree in Education and was actually working as a school teacher before making the switch over to the WWE.

Seriously, how cool is it – no pun intended – that a school teacher with a Masters in Education decides to give it all up to pursue her passion of becoming a wrestler?

She had a decent run during her time with the company as she soon ditched the whole teacher thing to form LayCool with Layla and all that other diva nonsense the WWE was infamous for.

She has since quit the wrestling business, but perhaps the biggest upside to her time with the WWE is that McCool met one Mr Mark Calaway – better known to you and me as The Undertaker. The two are now happily married.

Imagine that, eh? A former school teacher marrying The Undertaker.
