Candice Michelle hints at her future with WWE

[Snitsky]

In an interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper, WWE Diva Candice Michelle talked about a variety of subjects including who she travels with on the road, her thoughts on Stephanie McMahon & Torrie Wilson, if she minds bra and panties matches, the Diva to "watch for," and more.

In an interesting note, Candice says her WWE contract is expiring this October — and she doesn't know if she's staying. She has interests besides wrestling such as acting and modeling, and when the time comes near, she'll decide on what she wants to do.

It should be noted that WWE prefers to re-sign talent approximately a year before their contracts are set to expire. At least in part, this could explain why the former Playboy cover model has been sparingly used since the fall as the company may not want to invest the time and resources on an individual who could leave in the near future

Anyone got the full interview? Some of that stuff sounds interesting enough

She could make a reasonably good living without WWE just doing those commercials. Also, her husband is a doctor or something rather I believe.

If she leaves, I don't see how it's going to be that big of a loss for WWE.

Candice may be gone soon?

YATTA!

[The F'N Captain]

Candice has been on the bench more than she's been wrestling the last two years, so honestly I don't think it would be a huge blow to the WWE to loose her. Shame too, for a nanosecond they were seriously giving her a solid push, but again, the injuries.

[Professor Chaos]

WWE won't miss anything without her, I find her the hottest of the current divas though so we'll miss her diva pics. Long as she models though finding new pics shouldn't be a problem. Can't see her as an actress though (unless she goes back to softcore porn), her acting skills in the WWE are pretty cringe-worthy at times when she talks.

[Lair of the Shadow MaDaBa]

Give her a few more great photoshoots, then let her go about other business.

[Joekishi]

Again, I like her, she's dedicated and she knows wrestling. Plus she's friendly as hell.

Candice has some pretty bad luck. In 2007 she was improving at lot in the ring to the point where previous doubters (including myself) were actually impressed by her progress. WWE probably wanted to push her as the next top face Diva now that Trish retired. It all went belly up once the injuries kicked in. I don't think WWE would want to risk investing that much in someone they see as injury-prone.

Won't surprise me if she gets the pink slip by the end of the year.

Agreed. And put her on tv more than once every 2 months.

[David Otunga: Eternian at Law]

I gotta say unless Candice is gonna wrestle something safe like a zuccini she can go ahead and leave.

[Magician under the moonlight]

Nah, just let her go. She's already in her 30's so they can't do much with her.

- Win that championship, baby! Times running out, my contract expires in October of '09 so we'll see where I'm at in that point in time. I mean, I would love to get into acting and do some more modeling. We'll see, I love where I'm at right now. WWE is home to me and I can't take it for granted.

Seems like unless she can find good work elsewhere she'd want to stick with WWE.

I read this a few days ago and I knew the newz sites would jump on it. I think it sounds a lot less scandalous as these people are making it out to be.

I won't be surprised if she leaves ever since falling off the top rope she hasn't been the same

But that's obviously not her call to make. Victoria hinted in her blog that she took the early retirement as the alternative would be a diva she cared about getting fired. Wouldn't suprise me if it was Candice.

Fact is, the divas have so far escaped most of the heavy cuts. But with 18 women, at least one TV show's future in doubt and the brand extension dead in the water. I see that changing

[spacepope316]

I'd say shes the hottest Diva on the roster right now but my favourite female wrestler is easily Beth Phoenix.

I hope Candice doesnt re-sign as I'd rather she didnt hurt herself anymore.

[Lancers]

Does getting back in the foot fetish industry count as modeling?
