10 Wrestlers Who Refused To Work House Shows

9. Michelle McCool Michelle McCool left the WWE at the top of her game €” she was in the midst of her heel team run with Layla, and was generating tons of heat from the fans. But the reason she retired was pretty straightforward; she had married the Undertaker, and wanted to spend more time with her new husband. The writing was on the wall anyway. McCool had been skipping both house shows and weekends to tend to the Undertaker, who was suffering from recurring injury problems. This got a lot of heat backstage from the other Divas and Superstars, who were put off by the favoritism. In 2010, McCool worked 17 house show €” her partner Layla worked 71, and often had to carry the angle on her own. But I guess that when you're the Dead Man's woman, it affords you certain perks.
