Maria’s First Post-WWE Interview on Special Delivery

Big thanks to Diva-Dirt for the audio!

Maria called into Special Delivery on XM/Sirius satellite radio tonight and gave her first interview since being released from the WWE.  Maria was extremely positive and explained why she thought she was let go.  They also played “Fantasy” in its entirety, but I’m going to wait until I get the OK from Maria to post that.  Listen to the interview below.

Maria’s final match? HD video, photos & HQ captures

Sadly, as I’m sure you all know, Maria was released from the WWE earlier today.  Maria could very well be back in the ring some day.  For now though, the wrestling door has closed & many more opened.  Maria has many other projects in the works and I wish her the best in all of them.  Watch Maria wrestled a great match from WWE Superstars last night and check out the HD video & HQ captures that go with it.

Update: Maria commented on her release on her Twitter account:

Alright guys let’s talk. I did not ask for my release. I was released. I am still going to kick ass in other areas!! I am excited about the future! But I am sad about never getting the Championship. I am sad about not getting the chance to go to Wrestlemania again. Passion is my Motivation! Time to Sing! Time to work for Charity! Time to Dance! Time to be Alive again! Much love to my FANS, my FAMILY, the DIVAS, and my FRIENDS! There is a bright new future when one door closes another opens! Bring on the Doors! Spanks and Kisses

Happy Birthday Maria!

Happy Birthday Maria, I hope you have a great day!  Last year ended with you becoming Diva of the Year and I hope that 2010 brings you even more success, starting with the release of Sevin Sins!  But I’m not the only one who would like to wish you a Happy Birthday.  For the past 2 weeks I’ve asked readers of Maria-Kanellis.org to send in their birthday wishes.  I received over 95 emails from your biggest fans from all over the world.  Please see what they had to say (and check out this great Happy Birthday Maria music video too):
