The world of professional wrestling has been home to many legendary couples, but few have had the impact of The Undertaker and Michelle McCool. These two stars have left an indelible mark on the industry and on the fans who have followed their careers.
Their love story began when The Undertaker saw McCool throwing a football with amazing accuracy during a TV day. Undertaker was instantly impressed by her skills and didn’t hesitate to ask her out.
“It was a TV day and I had a little football. So we were throwing the football in the arena. She just happens to walk out, picks it up, and throws about a 35-yard spiral, just scorched it. I kid you not. I had never seen a girl throw football like that.”
. They began dating in the late 2000s and got married in 2010. They now have a daughter, Kaia, and they also adopted a son named Kolt Calaway. Their relationship wasn’t always easy, though. When they started dating, there was some backstage tension, with some people accusing McCool of receiving preferential treatment. It became so overwhelming that she eventually decided to leave WWE to avoid hating something that she had grown up loving so much.
“It was tough just leaving in itself was tough because it got to a point where I was dealing with so much again mostly being Undertaker’s girlfriend and why I was on TV and even having a writer throw the papers up one day and say ‘Why don’t we just call it the Michelle McCool and Undertaker show?!’”
“It was nonstop and I went to Vince on numerous occasions and bless his heart he was wonderful, but I just said Vince, I don’t wanna hate something that I grew up loving so much and the longer I stay the more I’m like like getting a sour taste in my mouth.”
