Maria says she is considering TNA

Quote :

Former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis was interviewed by Eric Cohen of About.com this week to promote her role on the upcoming "Celebrity Apprentice" NBC show and reveals that Donald Trump himself invited her to participate. "I actually met Donald Trump when he came to the show to do some work with Vince McMahon. He asked me if I wanted to do it and I said that I would love to and it all started from there."

Maria was also asked whether she'd be open to joining TNA, or if she's fully moved on from the wrestling business. "I'm not sure yet to be honest," she said. "I probably had seven different phone calls from companies across the country asking me to come here or go there. I haven't decided. It's such an exciting adventure to be on. It's like I've been born again or something. I'm really trying to figure out what's best for me, what's best for my future, and then go from there."

This would be a real boost to the KO division

^ Were you not the one who liked Maria in WWE ^ *Sigh*

The real question is whether TNA is even considering her...

She was part of WWE so I would say so xP

Hell, TNA looks to be signing Ken Deone for gods sake ... YAY Male cheerleaders FTW

^^I never cared for Maria in the WWE, but when she does come to TNA, don't start with all of the "she chose TNA" stuff because she chose them after WWE gave her the pink slip. That is how TNA has gotten most of there guys and KO's. WWE fired them first and TNA picked them up. Must I really go through the list?

No, That is how the wrestling Industry works?

its called making draws and getting big names to draw audiences. Nothing wrong with that.

WWE stars go to TNA and become a big part of the show right away. When TNA stars go to WWE, they start near the bottom. Christian was on ECW for over a year after he returned to WWE. TNA takes talent off of the WWE scrap heap. All of the former WWE guys are "former" because WWE was done with them. Were they interested in having Hardy. of course they were, but will not having Hardy back break them? Hell no.

Yeah, What is your point. We are all fully aware that WWE is the number 1 wrestling company in the world ... for now

If the tables were switched the same would happen.

If you are waiting for that table to turn, don't hold your breath because it won't happen in your life time. What is TNA doing next week, to combat Austin on Raw? It better be something damn good. What will they do up against Rock this summer? They don't have anything that can go up against the Rock on Raw.

Just like Nitro would of never taken over Raw. hehehe ... in two years I will be laughing at you hysterically and just looking over old posts for the lulz.

Nitro did not take over Raw because Nitro won the ratings for years and years. WWE is the ones who did the take over and WWE was much stronger when they really started to go after Raw. WWE was already selling out shows world wide and having Mania's in the biggest venues in the country. What is the biggest crowd TNA has ever drawn? Is it 93,000 in the Silverdome? No and WWE did that long before they took over Raw. TNA is on Spike, so what? WWE was on Spike. TNA is taking WWE's sloppy seconds and they are damn lucky to have them.

How can WWE take over Raw?

Maybe it's because it's almost 3 AM in the morning in Canada but I don't have a clue of what this argument's about.

But, as for Maria, my guess is that her joining or not TNA will clearly show us if she's still interested in working with another wrestling promotion or if she's moving on to something else.

Meh, I don't care if she joins or doesn't. Rather not have her join because I don't need another reason to start watching TNA and she'd definitely be one for me. Although, Van Dam is my favorite wrestler of all-time, and I haven't checked out TNA yet so I don't know how much differenced she'd make. Although, maybe it's because I've read his debut was only about twenty seconds and that doesn't interest me.

You can watch RVD's 20 second debut on Thursday when Impact re-airs.

Maria was actually one of the better Divas in the WWE when she got released. I was never a fan of hers to begin with when she had the stupid role, but she did begin to improve in the ring, so I was surprised to see her be released.

Anyway, I was expecting to see her following her music career rather than joining another company, but it'll be a good move if she does.
