"It’s pretty rough' - Former Divas Champion talks about dating The Undertaker

The Undertaker Hall of Fame Class of 2022

Former WWE Divas Champion Michelle McCool has opened up about dating The Undertaker while they were on the road.

The Deadman has been a sensation among fans for many years. The Hall of Famer has had a legendary career in the business and has worked with tons of megastars in wrestling over the past three decades.

The Phenom began dating Michelle McCool while he was still an active competitor. They later got married, and McCool left wrestling to start a family. On a recent episode of the Wives of Wrestling podcast, she recalled what it was like to date The Deadman:

"When we started dating, we did hide it... He had a bus at the time. I literally would wait till the arena was empty until I got on the bus. I would still like — we would get there hours early just so I could get out early and go to the locker room. So I hid it for a long time, knowing how a lot of people would react, and then it came out, and yeah... I’m just considered a channel to The Undertaker. Undertaker’s wife, which obviously I love him to death, but it’s pretty rough," said McCool. [H/T - WrestleZone]

It's safe to say that the two made it work, even with the struggles of being WWE Superstars who were always working on the road.

Michelle McCool says people linked her accomplishments with The Undertaker

McCool departed the wrestling business after losing to her former partner Layla in a Loser Leaves WWE Match. She has since made sporadic appearances for the company in the Royal Rumble.

In the same interview, she looked back on her career and mentioned how people linked her accomplishments to her relationship with The Undertaker. McCool stated that this dynamic made her "miserable," so she eventually left the company.

"There were several people that I can think of that totally treated me one way when he wasn’t around," said McCool. "And then if Mark was around, they’re treating me a different way, you know? And so I hate that crap. “It’s just stupid, but it did start making it miserable because anything I did was because I dated The Undertaker... So it really led to me being kind of miserable back there and eventually leaving.” [H/T - WrestleZone]
