01/19/07 Internet News - Jim Cornette Talks About Maria In The OVW
There is an interview with Jim Cornette in the latest edition of the UK's Powerslam magazine. Maria's position with Ohio Valley Wrestling at the end of his tenure in the company gets brought up and he subsequently blasts her. Although, it should be noted that Cornette's opinion on her is based on her time in OVW in early 2005 when she was really new to the business and Cornette was pretty much fed up with WWE & their direction by that point. Anyways, here is what he said about Maria:

Don't you mean Maria?
Marie, Maria: whatever. Another useless (woman) they foisted off on me. You know, I was running a wrestling school. Maria hadn't wrestled, didn't like wrestling, and didn't wanna f--king wrestle. I don't know what the f--k she was doing there. I was expected to use her on television, so she could practice her interviewing...

She needed to the practice, right?
She couldn't even remember the names of the people she was interviewing. WWE wanted her on our show live. I told them the last time she was on live, she couldn't remember the wrestlers names, so I was putting her in a pre-tape.

04/16/07 Monday Night Raw - Milan, Italy- Divas Fashion Show
An Italian MC was used for the Milan, Italy Diva Fashion Show, so we didn't understand a word he was saying, but Jerry "The King" was excited anyway by the thought of seeing all the Diva's decked out.

Candice came out first in a dress that included angel wings, with Victoria entering the arena next and supposedly tripping over her high heel shoes. She unstrapped the shoes and threw them down and walked to the ring barefoot in a nightgown looking dress. Next up was Mickie James looking totally hot in a tight blouse and skin tight jeans with boots. She was followed by Maria who sported a Betty Boop top and short skirt, in matching black. Torrie was next in a lacy black blouse and black shorts. This left Melina who was dressed in something that looked like a designers nightmare, but did expose a generous amount of cleavage.

Each women did a little modeling with the fans reacting well to the usual favorites and negatively to the heels (Victoria, Melina). The MC then picked Torrie as the winner, which caused the expected reaction from Melina and all hell broke out in the ring with Melina/Victoria getting out and quickly making an exit.

11/14/07 Internet News - WWE Announces Ten Diva Tag Team Match At Survivor Series
From WWE.com:

Practically no Diva in WWE can compare to the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix. The Women’s Champion says she is the epitome of beauty, class and athleticism and has proven it since she burst on the scene earlier this year. She settles for nothing less than perfection and will expect nothing less from her team when she leads Jillian Hall, Melina, Victoria & Layla into an interpromotional 10 Divas Tag Team Match against Mickie James, Maria, Torrie Wilson, Michelle McCool and Kelly Kelly at Survivor Series.

The Glamazon is not known to work well with others – she doesn’t need to – but she has one thing in common with her fellow Divas from Raw, SmackDown, and ECW: They all have a chip on their beautiful shoulders.

Nevertheless, there will be some personal issues that may highlight this interpromotional match involving the Divas from Raw, SmackDown, and ECW. Kelly Kelly wants to lay her claws into her former Extreme Exposé teammate Layla, who, along with The Miz, has made her life a living hell in ECW. Michelle McCool and Victoria have been at each other’s throats for months on SmackDown. The Divas will add some sugar and spice, and everything nice at Survivor Series. WWE.com
