During a recent interview with the Cafe de Rene podcast, Candice Michelle described how much she loved to face Beth Phoenix and why they had such great chemistry in the ring.
"Beth Phoenix was my favorite partner to work with. She was just coming back from her jaw being broken and kind of thought that her career was over. For me, I think what I'm best at is putting other people over... Just our dynamic, her being the Glamazon and me being this like up-and-coming model like our chemistry was so great. I was willing to sell the sh*t out of anything that she did and put her over which put me over," Michelle said.
Candice's final WWE match was against Beth Phoenix on the February 2, 2009 episode of RAW.
