Maria Kanellis

[Fignuts]

This lady deserves some props and probably more than a few apologies. When she first came to the WWE, I thought she was just another in a long line of pretty faced bimbos using the oppurtunity as a stepping stone to get bigger and better acting jobs. And I know I wasn't the only one.

Just watched a bunch of her recent stuff, including her feud with ODB, and you can definitely tell she cares about this business and improving her craft. She's still no Natalya in the ring, but she has improved, and the important thing is that as a heat machine, she takes the big payoff bumps like an absolute pro. The fact that she's still even in the business putting her body on the line for way less money on the independants is proof that I was completely wrong about her.

Seriously though, given a few more years and more time in the ring, she could improve to the point where her rise from eye candy valet to legit talent could rival Trish Stratus. Plus she's still super fucking hot.

Anyway, credit where credit is due.
