Candice Michelle recently spoke out about the perceptions she faced when her WWE career began.

"People said, 'Oh, you can't wrestle. You're the eye candy of the show,'" said the-29-year-old WWE Diva. "Don't tell me that. I can do anything I want to do, but I had to prove it. It was a rough road and it's a very hard sport to learn. Behind the scenes and in front, you've really got to build yourself."

Candice also pointed to the opportunity Vince McMahon gave her in his company.

"Vince McMahon once told me, 'I've given you a platform to become a star,'" Michelle said. "You have to make yourself that star talent. It isn't handed to you. My job now is to come back from this injury bigger, better and stronger."

We can't wait until she does!
