The former Women's Champion Michelle McCool has admitted to being a life-long wrestling fan, even saying in an interview that she had perfected a figure-four leg lock at just seven years old.

What fans may not know about Mrs. Undertaker, is that she's one of the smartest Superstars to ever enter the WWE.

Studying at the University of Florida, McCool would receive her Master's Degree in Educational Leadership, a degree that she would later put to use as a teacher.

After leaving teaching, McCool would join the WWE, initially as part of the 2004 Diva Search, which was won by Christy Hemme.

Despite coming up short, McCool would eventually be signed to WWE, winning both the Women's and Diva's Championships (the latter of which, she was the inaugural champion), before retiring from the ring in 2011.
