Kanellis discusses her favorite opponents in WWE:

I feel very blessed that I was a part of that time, I admire Trish Stratus’s work, I admire Lita’s work but by the same token I loved Beth, I loved working with her, she was one of my favourite people that I got in the ring with. Michelle McCool was so under-utilised and was one of the best wrestlers I ever got in the ring with. Victoria I still work with today, I love her and if I was going to pick someone I was going to wrestle for an hour it would be Victoria.

Kanellis discusses debuting in the WWE:

Oh, my gosh. It was a mix of everything. I was 22-years-old, I never experienced anything like that in my entire life. The first time I was on live television, was the first time I’d ever been in front of a live crowd that size. Just getting over that in itself was insane. I didn’t come from the independents, so wrestling was all new to me. I was training down in Ohio Valley Wrestling at the same time I was on the road. I was training with Fit Finley.
