i have always had faith in Candice from beginning to end, just like i did Trish. Ppl keep saying Candice is the next Trish, but i disagree, Candice is Candice, she is herself. I am tired of ppl comparing her to other ppl. I do think she is kinda like Sable. Sable was in playboy and was a womens champion, Candice was in playboy and is the womens champion! But Candice is herself and i like that. This was on wwe.com right after her match against Melina.
HOUSTON – Winning the Women’s Championship from Melina at Vengeance: Night of Champions was not solely a victory over one her most hated rivals for Candice Michelle. Taking nothing away from how it felt to strip the title from someone she’s had a public quarrel with for months on WWE.com, a teary-eyed, choked-up new champion said that aspect of the victory was merely a piece of a larger puzzle.
“It’s taken about three years for me to prove that I’m more than just some actress, some pretty face from Wisconsin,” said Candice, between pauses to dry her eyes with tissues.
After a small break to regain her composure, she continued to elaborate on what perceptions she shed with her latest victory.
“I finally proved to all the people who doubted me, the people who said I’d never make it, that I’m more than just an actress; I’m more than just pretty eye candy,” she said.
During preparations for the match with Melina, Candice used her days off to trek two hours into the suburbs of Los Angeles for three-hour long, in-ring workouts. And it’s not some Hollywood venue where she competes in front of sold-out crowds with flashbulbs popping, either. Her training grounds were an area with broken, burned out TV sets that had stacks of chicken coops piled in the corner. The ring also wasn’t top-notch WWE quality either: a compilation of planks with a film covering the boards to give the faux impression that it was safe to train on.
“I’ll work on my days off when I’m home; I’ll work in a dirty ring; I’ll drive however many hours it takes… I would have done whatever I had to do in order to walk out of the Night of Champions on top,” she said.
Candice’s relentless dedication to her craft shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. That’s what it takes to be a champion in WWE. What is surprising, however, was her declining to harangue the woman she so openly despised — the same person who attempted to label the new Women’s Champion as the owner of a “spare tire.” Instead of adding fuel to the fire, Candice simply brushed off her chance to berate her rival.
“I believe in karma – what goes around comes around, and I also believe in hard work,” she said as tears once again began pouring down her cheeks. “To beat someone who isn’t always kind, it just felt really good. But Melina is a great wrestler, and I respect her in the ring. For me to compete at that level is a victory in itself.”
So what do you guys think of this? I am certainly proud of Candice. She has always been one of my favorites.
Full Version: Candice Michelle

You just said that you don't like it when people compare her to other people then you just compared her to sable. oh and NOBODY BUT YOU AND A FEW OTHERS ON THS BOARD CARES about Candice being champ. Not that you don't have a right to post this.
What i mean is she kinda reminds me of Sable because she was in playboy and womens champion. I'm not comparing them, i was just saying they have done some of the same things.
Didn'y you only come when she started actually wrestling? CUz if so, your statement of sticking by her side is really irrelevant. It's be like me saying Orton will be champ eventually just because he's finally picking up some wins now.
And overpushed. She's improving, but still not women's championship quality. But if you put it that way, neither is Melina.

I believe i was on here before Candice started getting the push. I have also been on her side on other wwe message boards.

Nobody in the womens divsion is except victoria.
Hi Bubba here, I think the Women's Title has kind of went to waste.
the womens title has gone to waste cause theres no decent talent to reward it too cept for 3 mickie james melina and victoria melina isnt great but she is getting better. face it there no lita or trish.

exactly. Victoria no matter how good she is in the ring she doesn't have the stuff lita and trish had.
Well let me just say this:
I am a HUGE Victoria fan and Victoria, sure she's no Trish or Lita, but Victoria will only be Victoria, she is a woman that is respected and looked up to by the wrestlers as well as her fans and she LOVES her fans, I go to a Victoria Fansite and alot of people that have met Victoria can tell you that she is an amazing woman.
and that's what I LOVE about Victoria, she is just Victoria and Mickie will NEVER be Trish Stratus and Candice will NEVER be Sable.
