Diva Maria Comments On WWE
Former WWE Maria Kanellis appeared on the “One Sided Ring” podcat this week and said WWE holds back their Divas by not giving the division enough exposure or the women a chance to let their personalities across. Here are some highlights.
Her Release: “The release came as a shock, but basically it comes down to that I wanted more rights and they weren’t willing to give them to me. It wasn’t a money thing or anything like that. I think we left on good terms. It was a great experience while I was there, I love all the Divas.”
Being Held Back: “I wasn’t allowed to do as much as I wanted to do. I had all these great, creative ideas and was constantly entering them into the WWE creative, but I couldn’t use a lot of them,” Maria said. “The Divas weren’t given enough time, which I think is a horrible, horrible disadvantage that the girls have. I felt like I was held back – all the time.
“I wonder what would really happen if the Divas were given that much time,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s that they think the Divas can’t sell tickets, but I truly believe in the Divas division and always will. I think they are missing out on a lot of talent right there.”
Being A Backstage Interviewer for MMA Events on HDNet: “That’s one reason I’m not sad [WWE] fired me. I got eight minutes of time on an MMA show to just talk to people and that was amazing,” she said. “WWE never gave me eight minutes the entire time I was there.”
