It even seems to turn her on. Rivaled by only a few, her ring skills are breathtaking and precise.<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Heel<br/><strong>Hails From:</strong>San Antonio, Texas<br/><strong>Age:</strong>26<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'9<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>167 lbs.<br/><strong>Entrance Music:</strong>I Cut Like A Bufalo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK2uoc4ah40&start_radio=1&list=RDOK2uoc4ah40) - Titantron style, mostly this actually. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHq7Bewg9Vo) Except it would say 'Anne Michaels' instead of 'Kelly Kelly'. The images have a cool rhythm but instead, Anne would be doing other things: pulling hair, choking girls, laughing and smiling, grabbing girls by the vagina once every 4 or 5 shots, and more.<br/><strong>Entrance &amp; Ring Attire:</strong>Note. Anne Michaels always wears wrestler's boots, elbow pads, knee pads, and her hands are taped to protect herself. Her hair is always down, giving a casual look to her in the ring.

Early on, it was remarkably easy to be 'Rosey Hickey Bottom', 'Prick in Bottom', 'Anne Sips on Bottom', and a number of other childish names. Growing up. She was Shawn Michaels' daughter, and about 10% of the people around her at any time was well aware of that - usually more, never less. She developed a hard skin early on, and being a celebrity's daughter ended up defining her ego in many ways. She doesn't enjoy small talk, preferring deep conversations and interesting topics. She's not purposefully kind. Anne is more likely to stand up for what she believes in than play nice. She wants a good time, and she wants it almost every night. Anne loves the wrestling business, and she admires her father for allowing her to live in this world.<br/><br/>In ring...Anna Hickenbottom becomes Anne Michaels, and puts on an obnoxious confidence. Anne enjoys the controlling nature of wrestling, and she adapted to it quickly due to the violent nature. This woman is not complicated in her banter. She doesn't set traps or mislead people. She would rather make her point, prove that she's better and move on. Anne does not live in a happy place. She's competitive, manipulative, aggressive, and prideful. On a very serious level, Anne despises losing. This drives her to work out and increase her ring skills. She is showy, she's excited about bending the rules and causing other women pain makes her happy. It's no question that she gets some kind of sensual enjoyment from wrestling. Her facial expressions display that. Although she seems to tease and embarass her opponents more than anything directly sexual. This adds a level of intimidation to her in-ring presence. Especially if her opponent is an underdog. She sees herself as the most talented athlete in the company. Being friends with other competitors makes no sense to her in most cases. Her pride and her hatred of losing overwhelm her competitive spirit when it comes down to it. She would rather cheat than lose.<br/><br/><strong>Background/Training:</strong>Originally a cheerleader and gymnast in highschool, Anne started to wrestle in amateur highschool competition. She was always Shawn Michaels' daughter. Only one boyfriend growing up was a real fan of her father's. A fortunate number considering that all of them knew who Shawn Michaels was - and, almost all of the men that she was interested in were about twelve in the year 2000. By the year 2009, she was going to Arkansas University. But, she was being held back. Not by anything specific, only her own decisions. She stopped doing combat sports, and she'd loved them in a way she didn't understand. Everyone who really cared for her knew that a Cheerleading scholarship wasn't going to hook her for four years.<br/><br/>She needed something physical. There had been a rush that she got from wrestling that she only ever got from that, and sex. Anne's scholarship forced her to be a cheerleader and she couldn't have a wrestlers body as a tumbler on the cheerleading squad. So,Track ended up being the substitute. It took over her life for the single year of college she was able to tolerate.  On top of everything, Anne was growing in height late in her teens and things were getting awkward for her again. The joy of just running as hard as she could with this new tall body was exciting. And, she knew that she had an opportunity to do something else. Unsure of what to do outside of college, and purely athletic, she wanted to pursue something that would make her money, and something that was fun to do. So, she turned to wrestling again. But, it was not amateur wrestling anymore. She was at the Texas Wrestling academy - at her father's pro-wrestling school, devoting all of her time to the art, and loving it. With only six months of professional training, she was in independent southern wrestling, and outperforming every woman she faced. The promoters wanted the attention, but Anne refused to be booked as Shawn Michaels' daughter. It was a tough sell, but her skills were desirable. So, 'Roses' became her ring name, but anyone with eyes could see that she had Hickenbottom blood. Her character would never change. Roses was only the precursor. She was a natural face due to her age and her outstanding beauty. People wanted her to win, even though she was new, even though the crowds were only 300 people at best. Championships were at the tips of her fingers, one of the juiciest prospects in wrestling, and the film was building up. It was the winter of 2010, and Anne was about to turn 20 years old.<br/><br/>More than a natural, she had watched the sport as a child, and there was a level of understanding that shocked her father and other trainers. Finding herself too young to do what everyone around her was telling her to do, she avoided any talks with the WWF and traveled to England for more training. There, Anne found a real proving ground. The influence of the McMahons was missing entirely, and it was sweet. She traveled, learned, and sold her skills. Still hiding behind her identity with her Roses ringname. She spent almost 3 years in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany, By 2013, she was starting to call the WWF.<br/><br/>Anna Hickenbottom went to the performance center. They knew that she was ready for the ring, but there was no one that just 'came in ready'. There were unwritten rules. She debuted on Smackdown in February of 2014, spending over a year in 'development'. It was frustrating. But, she'd earned her stripes, and the training only made her tighter, and more impressive. Skipping over NXT, she was rocketlaunched into a feud with Natalya and the rest has been history. A Two time smackdown champion, she gave up her chase for that belt and immediately started to pursue the WWF Women's Championship when it was returned for Wednesday's Competition roster.<br/><br/>And, in a grueling set of four matches, Anne Michaels won the inaugural sixteen woman tournament for the belt. This is also when she turned heel without looking back. Anne did not win the last two matches clean. A controversial finish to the tournament forced her to defend her belt often early on. She has defended the belt with some dominance, bending the rules more and more without breaking them directly, leaning deeper and deeper into her desire to be the champion, and losing her pride as a talented wrestler. Her aggresive nature has given her a good long run. Women have come close, and some competitors probably should have defeated Anne Michaels. But she's crafty, smart, and intimidating. That belt is starting to look very familiar around her waist. Her confidence has never been so great.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Stats:</strong></span><br/><em>Power:</em>-1<br/><em>Agile:</em>0<br/><em>Aerial:</em>-2<br/><em>Technical:</em>+2<br/><em>Rough:</em>+3<br/><em>Savvy:</em>+1<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Audience:</strong></span>+ 10<br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Momentum:</strong></span>2<br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Heat:</strong></span>Undistributed, (has 5)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Moves:</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Move Set:</strong><br/>Anne wants her opponent on the ground. She focuses on doing damage from there. She is not afraid to use Knees, kicks, and creative takedowns to put the other girl into a vulnerable spot. In addition, Anne has height and leverage, so she has an ability to suplex, toss, lift, and drop most of her opponents. She loves fighting smaller girls because they're easy to lift, and hard to tangle up. She is not incredibly gifted from the top rope, but she isn't afraid to go there when she needs to. It does, usually backfire on her. She likes to pin often, and she goes for the finish fast. Saving her own body is important to her, and her goal in every match is to end it before her opponent can put together any offense. It never really goes that way. But, it makes her frustrated fast whenever she competes. With a european wrestling background, she has several different kinds of bridging suplexes, and obscure submissions. Her chain wrestling ability is solid. But, it's not her greatest skill. She uses knees, kicks, suplexes, backbreakers, atomic drops, to weaken her opponents core. She also loves to target her opponents private parts. Low blows are not directly illegal, and neither are targeted strikes at breasts. She will also put a woman into holds that hurt her vagina, even though that is illegal, breaking it in time to save the match. She will grab hair, scratch, bite, claw, and grab hair whenever it's convenient to get an advantage. She wants to cause pain almost as much as she wants to win.<br/><br/><strong>Signature Move:</strong><br/>Superkick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfAIoU9igG0)<br/><span class="bbc_u">Buster Breaker Combo</span>. Anne uses a series of repeated gut busters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo2QJ9n9NHA), conviently placed knee strikes in transitions, and repeated backbreakers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzD7TcLY6SQ). She never does this move the same. And usually does three lifting drops and about seven grounded knees. Always tries a pin afterward, only jobbers lose to it.<br/><br/><strong>Finishing Move:</strong><br/>Submission Finisher - "Liontamer"/"Broken Hearts" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_9_5DZ0fB4) - The move is famously known as the Liontamer. She see's herself as a lioness, so it functions. She also calls it the HeartBreaker as a reference to both her father, the Heart Break Kid, and the Broken Hart Family members that she and her father have left in their wake. It's an elevated boston crab. She sinks in with her knee on her opponents head. Leans back and squeezes herself to bend girls the wrong direction. Some people might even still call this move "The Walls of Jericho." But, none of that matters to Anne. It's a trusty maneuver that never really fails her.<br/>
