 Originally born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin of Panamanian and German decent this fetching lass has made a big splash in 2004-2005. Describing herself as a die hard "Cheese Head" Green Bay Packer fan, Candice is appearing with the WWE and appeared in one of the hottest and controversial commercials to hit TV. The GoDaddy.com commercial appeared during Superbowl XXXIX in 2005, with Candice appearing as the big busted "hottie" Nikki Cappelli, a woman who experiences a "wardrobe malfunction" before a congressional committee.
Candice Michelle has some impressive modeling and acting credentials. Highlights include work for Flex, Hot Rod, Max Muscle, and Low Rider magazines, plus a cover feature for Mini Truckin'. She has also appeared on the TV series Party of Five and 7th Heaven. Her resume also includes promotional gigs for Miller Lite, Bacardi and Prolab Nutritional Supplements, and runway work for Elizabetta Rogiani Beverly Hills and Marva Sew Industries.
 During 2001, Michelle made the move to film work, though her early roles were sometimes hard to spot. She added some serious eye candy to movies like Tomcats (2001), High Crimes (2002), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), and A Man Apart (2003). She showed plenty more in a 2002 episode of the naughty, softcore porn show Hotel Erotica. In fact, 2002 was a generally revealing year for Michelle, who also appeared in the June Playboy issue as a Cyber Girl of the Week.
2004 was the year that the public finally put a name to her already-known face. First, she scored a job as a WWE Diva, modeled for the 2005 Lingerie Bowl, which aired on pay-per-view and appeared in Dodgeball with Ben Stiller.
Initially, Candice Michelle's role in the WWE was
limited. She was never given an angle on RAW and she rarely made television appearances
unless to participate in one of the program's occasional lingerie pillow fights or bikini
contests that were held between Christy Hemme, Maria Kanellis, Stacy Keibler, and herself.
On June 30, 2005, at the end of the WWE Draft Lottery, Candice Michelle was traded to
the SmackDown! brand for where she became involved in a feud between Torrie Wilson and
Melina Perez. Candice Michelle quickly became Jillian Hall and Melina's rival when she
befriended Wilson. On July 24, 2005, at The Great American
Bash, Candice Michelle served as the special guest referee for the Bra and Panties
match between Torrie Wilson and Melina. Melina was victorious. After the match, Melina
seemed to gain some type of confidence and pushed Candice from behind. This resulted in
both divas attacking Melina and removing her bottoms as well.
She was then
moved to RAW in a trade along with Wilson, while
Keibler and Hemme went to "SmackDown!" From that point on, Candice and Wilson continued to
taunt Ashley Massaro (2005 WWE Diva Search Winner), bringing in Victoria to attack her as
part of their "initiation" for the new Diva. This
continued on until Trish Stratus returned from injury to help Massaro retaliate against
Candice and her two cohorts, who became known as the stable Ladies in Pink, and later
known as Vince's Devils, which seemed to be a play on Charlie's Angels.
On the
February 27, 2006, edition of RAW, Candice Michelle
would get her first WWE Women's Championship match while a part of Vince's Devils in a
losing effort to then-champion Trish Stratus. After this match Candice Michelle would slap
Wilson, blaming her for the loss.
The team would be short-lived after this as
Torrie Wilson would soon become a babyface diva once again with Candice Michelle and
Victoria turning on her during Candice's Playboy cover
reveal. This feud between Candice Michelle and Wilson would become a lengthy feud
which led to a match in which Playboy Magazine's then-newest cover girl Candice Michelle
would face off against the 2-time former cover girl (Wilson) at
WrestleMania 22 in a Playboy Pillow Fight. Wilson
would win this match but the feud would still continue on-and-off when Michelle was
working backstage segments with Vince McMahon, being his "sex slave".
On
November 27, 2006 edition of RAW during the Women's
Battle Royal, Candice suffered a broken nose when Victoria viciously nailed her in the
face with a savate kick. She had surgery on November 30, 2006 to repair her deviated
septum. She returned at New Years Revolution on
January 7, 2007, as her and with Maria came out to fight off Melina as she tried to
interfere in the WWE Women's Championship match between champion Mickie James and
challenger Victoria.
Candice returned to in-ring action at a January 20, 2007 house
show, teaming with James to defeat Melina and Victoria. Mickie and Candice Michelle did
the same thing on the January 22 edition of Raw where
she pinned Victoria in what was Michelle's official return. |
