WWE Maria- her personal life
Kanellis has two younger siblings; a sister, Janny and a brother, Billy.
She dated fellow wrestler CM Punk (Phil Brooks), which she confirmed after pictures of the two kissing surfaced on the Internet.
They met during their tenures in Ohio Valley Wrestling. The two broke up in June 2007.
Maria had been asked to follow in the footsteps of other WWE Divas and pose for Playboy, but she initially refused because she did not wish
to embarrass her sister, who was still in high school at the time. After refusing the offer to pose a few times, she eventually posed for
the cover of the April 2008 issue, with an accompanying nude pictorial. For the pictorial, Maria chose her own wardrobe and made the black hooded
jacket she wore in one of the photos. She also designs her own clothes.
On November 5, 2007, she appeared on an episode of Family Feud with several other WWE superstars. She also appeared on the February 6, 2008 episode of
Project Runway with some of the other WWE Divas. On August 17, Maria, Candice Michelle (Candice Beckman), and Eve Torres were on an episode of Sunset Tan.
WWE Maria career as a WWE diva
She competed in the Raw Diva Search in 2004,[10] deciding to enter the contest after seeing an advertisement while watching Raw.
Even though she only placed fifth in the contest, she was hired by the company.[5] She stood out in the contest by giving fellow contestant Carmella
DeCesare the finger after being eliminated from the contest.[5] Maria began making appearances at the Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) training facility under head trainer Paul Heyman.[5] She contributed booking ideas, and her work at OVW earned her a spot on the Raw brand roster. Maria was brought on to Raw as a backstage interviewer in November 2004.
She quickly earned a reputation as the oblivious backstage reporter—Maria seemed to ask the wrong questions, irritating and amusing WWE Superstars and Divas
.
In 2005, Maria began to get very physical—in and out of the ring. She was defeated in her first official match on the January 10, 2005 edition of Raw
by Christy Hemme in a Lingerie Pillow Fight.[5][10] She also competed in a Fulfill Your Fantasy Diva Battle Royal at Taboo Tuesday for the WWE
Women's Championship but was the first to be eliminated by Trish Stratus and Mickie James. In another physical moment, Stratus slapped Maria so
hard that one of her fillings legitimately fell out. On November 14, Maria competed in a non-title Diva Battle Royal at the Eddie Guerrero tribute Raw show.
Maria stood by herself for most of the match, only getting involved when she saw the opportunity to eliminate a competitor, a strategy that proved effective a
s she eliminated both Jillian Hall and Victoria.
She was one of the last three women left in the match but was eliminated by both Melina and
Trish Stratus. On the November 28 edition of Raw, Maria interviewed then-Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff and asked him whether or not he thought he was
going to be fired. He then booked her a match with Kurt Angle out of spite, and Maria was laid out with the Angle Slam. As a result, one week later,
Maria testified in the trial against Bischoff, who was being tried because of his controversial actions as General Manager. As Mick Foley questioned her,
she answered, unusually intelligently, "Last week Bischoff abused his power in a way that was both malicious and capricious, and it’s this rash discourse
that has led to a locker room of disdain and mutiny, and it should be grounds for his immediate dismissal.
The Career of hot WWE Maria
Maria Kanellis (born February 25, 1982) is an American professional wrestler and model of Greek heritage, currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) performing on its SmackDown brand.
Kanellis was a contestant on the reality show Outback Jack in 2004. In the same year, she placed fifth in the Raw Diva Search, but was later hired by WWE as a backstage interviewer. Kanellis began competing in the ring as a wrestler in 2005.
It was not until 2007, however, that she received her greatest push in the company, as the on-screen love interest of Santino Marella.
As a result, she received more air time and began winning more matches than she had previously. She also posed for the April 2008 cover of Playboy magazine,
which was incorporated into a storyline on Raw.
