Maria Kanellis

“I loved 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper. I love the guys that can talk. I'm a big fan of The Rock, but I'm also a fan of Coach.”

“I was on every single show in WWE.”

“When I left WWE the first time, I made almost the least amount of money I made with any company.”

“I think that when you go back to school when you're a little older, you're a lot more focused.”

“It was two and a half years that I was down in Ohio Valley Wrestling. It's been a big part of my life now in the sense that I love that period of my life so much. It was like my college years.”

“I love that hard work is important in Ring Of Honor. It's really the most important thing is working hard.”

“My mom was a great woman, but my dad was always the king of the castle, so to speak.”

“If I were to build a company, I would make every single person the biggest star possible because you are only as strong as your weakest link.”

“You can't sit at home and continue to get contracts if you don't have a bigger name.”

“During my first run with WWE, I didn't realize it at the time, but I came to find out I was one of the favorites. I had no idea - you don't know if you're liked there or hated there and it could be both in the same day.”

“I never thought I was the greatest wrestler, but I never gave up.”

“There's some guys whom you never thought would go back to WWE because of what they've said in the past or the drama that's happened. But they end up going back.”

“Dolph Ziggler should be on every single show, three times per show. He is tremendous.”

“I got to work with Ric Flair. I got to work with John Cena when he was just coming into his own. I got to work with Santino when that character was just started.”

“So I don't think WWE is lacking when it comes to women talents.”

“Yeah, I've been a wrestling fan. I probably got back into it when I was 16, 17. But I was a wrestling fan since I was a little girl. I used to watch it with my dad and my brother.”

“There are so many opportunities at Ring Of Honor. If you do a good job, you get to do more. If you do a crappy job, then you don't.”

“Being in OVW taught me a lot about the wrestling world and a lot about myself. That's what I'll use for the rest of my life.”
