Interviews No Comments

Greek Hollywood Reporter has posted an interview with Maria. Continue reading for the full interview!
She’s bubbly, she’s beautiful and she’s an object of desire for many men. Of course, she is also Greek. She’s Maria, and she’s darn proud to call herself a WWE Diva. While many may think she’s ditzy or absent-minded, there’s one thing that’s well-known: she’s hot.
But hey, she wouldn’t have it any other way. Maria has won many beauty pageants in her time, but she’s not just all beauty. From kickboxing to sewing to dancing to working on cars, Maria’s areas of expertise make her one of the best-rounded Divas in WWE.
After years of entering beauty pageants and an education at Northern Illinois University, the Ottawa, Ill., native struck it big by nearly making it to the end of the 2004 Diva Search. While she didn’t win, our fans felt an immediate connection to her, and she quickly made her way to Raw as a backstage interviewer who wasn’t afraid to ask any question, from the hard-hitting to the quirkily obvious.
Since her debut in WWE, however, Maria’s role has expanded by leaps and bounds. At first, she was tentative to step into the ring, but to this day she continues to learn the ropes and develop into an exciting and skilled performer. She also can be seen (or read, as it may be) lending her auto expertise to our fans in her very own WWE Magazine column every month. In the April 2008 issue of Playboy, Maria was on the cover.
Update: They also posted 2 outtakes from previous Maria photoshoots. Check out the new Smackdown Blue photo, and Super Stylish photo in the gallery.

Maria-Kanellis.org reader Dennis sent in a touching story to us via email, and we just had to share it with everyone. We highly recommend you all go check out his blog which Maria inspired him to write. Heres a brief summary of what Dennis had to say:
My BLOG: About weight loss, setting and achieving your goals, pride, and believing in yourself – inspired by WWE Smackdown Diva MARIA KANELLIS
VISIT MY BLOG – http://fortheloveofmaria.blogspot.com/
The Cause: I just got out of a year and a half long engagement. My girl went all the way across the country to go to school. Instead of saving up, or continuing school myself – I spent all my cash going to see her. I was depressed, I gained weight, and then I met WWE Diva Maria Kanellis. Then I decided it was time for a change.
The Goals: Losing 20-30 pounds, getting tan, getting buff and back on track! ALL BY MARCH 22ND, 2009!!
The Result: To meet Maria again on March 22nd (hopefully I’ll have the chance) and looking my best, I want to get a photo with her. To inspire myself, and to inspire others.
We’d encourage all of you to go read more about his story, and track his progress at his blog.
