0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Fleet.
0:19.6	Oh yes. Welcome back to another one here on Insight. Hope it's been a great week for you. I appreciate you for being here.
0:28.6	And thank you for making Insight the number one wrestling podcast on the planet.
0:34.6	I'm assuming that you already follow the show because you're listening right now.
0:38.3	But if by some chance, you're not hit a Stiles Clash on that follow button on Apple or
0:45.2	Spotify or wherever you're listening right now so you don't miss out on any of the episodes
0:49.0	that we have on the way. This one was a long time coming with Michelle McCool. When I interviewed her husband in June,
0:57.7	you might have heard him before. His name is Mark Calloway. He goes by The Undertaker. Oh, yeah, yeah,

1:28.9	in WWE.
1:30.8	Michelle McCool had a hell of a career.
1:33.4	She's the first ever WWE wrestler to win both the Divas and the Women's Championship.
1:38.9	She won both of those titles twice each.
1:42.0	She had a hell of a run with Lay Cool as a tag team that you just
1:45.4	loved to boo. And what a theme song Michelle McCool had. You're not enough for me.
1:53.4	We can pretend that singing didn't happen there, but great theme song. She officially retired from
1:57.9	WWE in 2011, but we've seen her pop up at a few Royal Rumbles
2:03.1	here and there.
