Welcome to the #1 source for Maria Kanellis news, photos, videos & more. Maria is a former WWE Diva, ROH manager, actress, swordfighter, stuntwoman, singer, AfterBuzzTV host, writer, and entrepreneur.
WWE would like to express its deepest condolences to Eddie Fatu’s family, friends and fans on his tragic passing. Eddie Fatu was under contract with WWE at various time periods and most recently performed under the name “Umaga.” Eddie Fatu’s contract was terminated on June 11, 2009.
Maria-Kanellis.org would also like to express its condolences to Umagas family & friends. R.I.P.
Maria was quoted in a Los Angeles Time’s interview discussing the WWE’s new “PG” rating and how it affects the WWE Diva’s.
The wrestling attire for the ladies has become more conservative as well. Maria Kanellis, one of the WWE’s “diva” wrestlers, used to perform in lingerie but these days tries to dress “a little more sophisticated” for her matches.
“The guys miss it, but that’s how it goes,” she said.
Her costumes now consist of leggings, lots of “fringe outfits and things that are sparkly.” It’s not unusual, she said, for some of the girls to get reprimanded for “showing too much cleavage,” something that would’ve never happened a few years ago.
Head on over to the Los Angeles Time’s website to read the full interview.

Smackdown announcer Jim Ross wrote a blog post where he talks about some emails he’s received regarding Maria’s current face/heel status.
I don’t know why I should have vilified Maria on Friday Night Smackdown as some have suggested via their emails. What has she done wrong? Date an arrogant wrestler? Wow, she would be the first to ever do that, right?
Well its been a week now since the tragic death of Michael Jackson. I wanted to make this post because I’ve seen a lot of talk about it in the comments of the Smackdown spoilers story. Maria was a huge Michael Jackson fan as she has stated on Twitter, and will be paying tribute to him in her match on Smackdown. She’ll be wearing a white glove to honor Michael tonight. As always if you can’t catch Smackdown, come back tomorrow to download our exclusive 720p HD video.

Thanks Yvonne & RKO for letting me know.
This past weekend WWE.com announced that they have reached a deal with the popular Hulu.com to offer full episodes of Smackdown & ECW, shortly after they air on TV. Now if only Maria appeared on Smackdown more often…
As of right now, Hulu.com videos are only available to those in the US.
WWE just confirmed on their official Twitter account that the Maria Kanellis account is FAKE. Some have thought it was a fake for a while, but others, myself included, were on the fence about it. WWE has posted this tweet explaining that they follow all the official Superstars accounts. If you head on over to WWE’s follow list, “Maria’s” account is no where to be seen. Congratualtions @MariaKanellis, for being one of the best fakers out there.
UPDATE: Twitter has now removed the fake Maria’s account.
