Candice Michelle
Template:Pwstatbox Candice Michelle Beckman (born September 30, 1978 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin), better known as Candice Michelle, is a glamour model, actress, and Diva currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand.
World Wrestling Entertainment
Candice Michelle came to the WWE as a contestant for the 2004 RAW Diva Search. Despite losing to Christy Hemme, WWE hired Candice anyway and placed her on the RAW brand under the gimmick of a makeup artist.
Initially, Candice's role was limited. She was never given an angle on RAW and she rarely made television appearances unless to participate in one of the program's occassional lingerie pillow fights or bikini contests that were held between Christy Hemme, Lillian Garcia, Maria Kanellis, Stacy Keibler, and herself.
On June 30, 2005, at the end of the Draft Lottery, Candice Michelle was traded to the SmackDown! brand where she soon took part in an angle that involved a feud between Torrie Wilson and Melina Perez. Candice quickly became Melina's rival when she befriended Torrie. On July 24, 2005, at the Great American Bash, Candice served as the special guest referee for the Bra and Panties match between Torrie and Melina.
On the August 22, 2005 RAW Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson made a suprise appearance. Wilson announced to the audience that she and Candice had been traded to RAW. Torrie then announced that she wanted to welcome 2005 RAW Diva Search winner, Ashley Massaro to the team. Candice and Torrie then turned heel by attacking Massaro.
From that point on, Candice and Wilson continued to taunt Massaro bringing in Victoria to attack Massaro, as part of their 'initiation' for the new Diva. This continued on until Trish Stratus joined in to help Massaro retaliate against Candice and her two cohorts.
After a WWE Women's Championship match on the September 26, 2005 edition of RAW, Candice and Wilson attacked Stratus causing a disqualification. This then led to Candice being stripped off her dress. In a result, Candice challenged them both to a Handicap Bra and Panties Match at the WWE Homecoming on October 3, 2005. However, Candice and her cohorts were once again defeated by Stratus and Massaro.
Candice began utilizing a turnbuckle finishing manuever, the Figure Four Necklock in an episode of RAW aired on October 24 2005. Candice competed in a "Fulfill Your Fantasy" Diva battle royal at Taboo Tuesday 2005 for the Women's Championship, managing to lock Ashley Massaro in her now patented Figure Four Necklock.
Other media
Throughout Beckman's career, she has appeared in many television shows and films. Her film appearances include roles in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and High Crimes. In television, she appeared on Party of Five, The Man Show and Monk. Her most notable appearance was her appearance on Hotel Erotica. Among all Divas, she has most experience with nudity as she has posed nude for Ivolt.com and Playboy Cyberclub prior to joining WWE. She is slated to pose nude for Playboy again in 2006, just prior to WrestleMania 22.
Beckman achieved a moment of fame in 2005 after appearing in a risqué TV commercial for Go Daddy. The commercial appeared during Super Bowl XXXIX, with Candice appearing as a large-busted woman named Nikki Cappelli. While trying to appeal to a congressional committee, she experiences a wardrobe malfunction. Since then, she has continued to appear in a number of humorous Godaddy commercials that mainly appeared on cable or the internet.
Beckman played the role of Natasha in the Model Behavior episode "Hotel Erotica"; a softcore pornography cable TV series. In the episode, she portrays a new model competing with a more established model and for the attention of the photographer. She seduces him on the hotel porch even though he is thought to be "gay" (as the character describes himself). The episode ends with a threesome in the hotel room.
Personal Life
Beckman is married to Dr. Ken Gee Ehrlic, a former weightlifter-turned chiropractor who specializes in sports injuries and nutrition out of West Los Angeles.
