I like Maria, don’t get me wrong, but unless she is going to be a heel and is working in that comment, this is a slap in the face to Haze and Del Rey.

  why should it be a slap in the face? Haze and Del Rey are Wrestler's. Maria isn't. I mean yes she has been in the ring but not as often as Haze or Del Rey and Maria's wrestling such as it is , is nothing compared to them.
  
  Don't forget Miss Elizabeth was considered the "First Lady of WWF and Wrestling" and she had never been in the ring. in her day. it all so was not insulting to Sensational Sheri or Moolah.
  
  As for your other Question Her B/f Mike Bennett is a heel and she is concidered one to, she all so did her WWE "Dumb" act from WWE on one of his youtube videos.

    It is a slap, Maria works the fed style of Diva match. Just wait until they put her over Del Rey. You’ll see my point, and all just for her name value.

I gotta think she’s just doing the managerial stuff. She wasn’t bad in the WWE, but ROH is something different in terms of in-ring action–especially with Women Wrestlers. She’s got some rather ladylike stuff about her though, so she can get something going without having to always wrestle (and you don’t see Haze or SDR much these days anyway, so she really doesn’t need to anyway).

Haven’t seen that quality in a woman in rasslin’ for a long time. Would like to see it.
