No one in this mess in sympathetic.
Fans ARE justified in resenting the Bella twins: neither have much talent and how only really gotten where they are based mainly on who they're dating. The stories of them throwing their weight around backstage also makes them pretty unlikable.
But Maria...yeah, she does come off as Sunny-levels of unhinged about things.

Except Brie has improved a lot in the ring, and none of those stories about them throwing their weight around backstage have been 100% verified to my knowledge. As for them only having gotten as far they are....where exactly are they? Brie has had a Title match with AJ, but she lost. She and Nikki haven't really gotten any real focus other than Total Divas stuff with the others and Brie's relationship with Bryan that was quickly dropped. They have gotten attention, but they haven't really gotten special treatment since they came back.

I have never like Maria because she has always given off this pretentious vibe about her, even before being let go and started trashing others. It was something always picked up from her.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that the Bellas were dating Daniel Bryan and John Cena during their initial runs with the huge push that came along with. Or that Daniel Bryan was a big enough deal for his girlfriend to be bulletproof then...wait, you mean to say that neither of those things are true? Oh good, then we can all shut the f*** up about how the Bellas are where they are because of who they're dating.

if anyone was blocking her at all it was CM Punk. she did write a song about what an asshole he is. but in all likelihood, nobody blocked her from being re-hired and the company just decided against it because of her attitude. Punk has so many angry ex-girlfriends that I doubt he can keep them all straight, let alone take time to block any of them from employment/ "Pick out your picture and send back the rest."

I've generally disliked Maria ever since she was on the Afterbuzz RAW show. She comes off as so petty, bitchy, and vindictive that I just can't taker her seriously.
It's frankly pathetic that she's still bitching about them so many years after whatever she claims happened took place. I mean, if Mike Bennett was as good as she thinks he is, he'd be in the WWE regardless of what the Bellas say.

I'll never get tired of the Bella's having the power to get divas blocked from being hired theory. It's good comedy. if anyone was blocking her at all it was CM Punk. she did write a song about what an asshole he is. but in all likelihood, nobody blocked her from being re-hired and the company just decided against it because of her attitude. I know you were probably joking, but considering what happend with Daffney, it wouldn't exactly suprise me.

The moment she said Mike Bennett would be mentioned in the same sentence as Steve Austin as an icon, she lost all credibility.

Well before that, the story was that the Bellas fooled around with Johnny Ace in a hot tub or something like that to get their job and continually be pushed onscreen as big stars. But I'm not sure where that story started, maybe it was Maria who first told it?

Pretty sure the whole thing Maria/Bella twins feud kicked off when Maria claimed on afterbuzz they'd had some sort of fling with Laurinaitis and linked them with other people in management.

I meant joking about Punk keeping her out of WWE. I know for a fact she wrote a song about him. Allegedly, the whole album (Sevin Sins) was based on her breakup with CM Punk.

I had to Google around for it.

If a dude broke my heart I would not give him the satisfaction of knowing he did so by writing a song about him, let alone a whole album.

Either way, unless you can make the WWE money, you better not burn bridges on the way out the door. Doesn't this also kind of apply to the Bellas? They left, tried doing some stuff, it wasn't really successful, and then they came back when WWE was looking to add talent to a failing Divas division. So what did they bring to the table exactly in terms of money-making when it came time to negotiate a contract other than the same stuff they did before? I just wish Kharma would come back and wreck them both given that promo they cut on her, which given real life events, was really bad in hindsight.

It's funny that Maria goes on about how the Bellas blocked her return to the WWE, all the while likely preventing Mike Bennett from getting a look from the company.

The fact that one was dating Cena probably helped get them back into the WWE, but while the Bellas were gone they absolutely never talked bad about former co-workers. Thus I said, don't burn bridges because unless you can make them money (Brock Lesnar) the WWE won't bring you back.

Ah the female Bret Hart, refusing to let go of a it seems VERY touchy subject (Bret Hart bitched about getting screwed by WWE for years but three years ago he came back to WWE) and Maria acts like The Bellas screwed her over.
