On his Facebook wall, Michael "The Voice" Schiavello leaked the news that HDNet will announce on Monday that former WWE Diva, Playboy cover model and FHM's Most Sexiest Woman Maria Kanellis will join him and Jason "Mayhem" Miller in the the broadcast booth for HDNet Fight's broadcast of King Of The Cage.
If Maria has what it takes to keep up with Mayhem & The Voice, I think these three characters could make for a very entertaining broadcast team.
I don't think there is going to be any middle ground with the opinions on this news. Bring it on Schiavello haters!
Monsters Ball - Sounds like a big clown show in the booth.
no clue who the diva is. i stopped following pro wrastlin soon after i bought this record in the mid 1980s...
Schiavello + a playmate in the broadcast booth = lawsuit waiting to happen
"The Voice" is a joke and I don't understand who putting an ignorant slut in as a commentator for a professional sport is anything that anyone would want to publicize.
the HDNet announcing team has gone from Bas Rutten and Ron Kruk (a legend and a knowledgeable guy who loves the sport and has been around it for a million years) to an Australian HACK and a wrestling stripper....yeah
Can she really be any worse than what we usually get calling MMA fights?

Fa sho.
odd pairing, but I love the Voice, dude has classic one liners.
I could see the Maria chick doing the in-ring after fight interviews, and backstage stuff as well kinda like jenn brown does with CBS/Showtime..she did something kinda similar in her wrestling gig.. anything else would be a recipe for disaster... the hdnet folks are sharp, prob know this as well...
I always thought she was a serious piece of ass! Huge doe eyes get me eveytime.

Schiavello's pbp makes the fights more fun to watch than any other pbp commentator in the business. Why dont you go back to masturbating over your scoring system instead of ripping on an accomplished professional and all around nice guy in Schiavello.
ScottCL -I don't give a shit if he's a nice guy. He is possibly one of the worst, most annoying, silly hacks in his profession. Every sports fan I have ever had over that heard him couldn't stand him in under a minute and almost all said he unanimously ruined the broadcast. He is impossible to listen to and take seriously. He is Mauro on steroids with his non-stop barrage of silly phrases and screaming. Just because you are one of the 6 people on earth who like him doesn't mean he should be on natinoal television. This stripper girl additiona to the team just proves that HDNet is not even kinda up to par on treating MMA like a real sport. Imagine these fucking clowns on an NFL broadcast.

JimmersonzGlove - Also, the Voice is awesome. He's an acquired taste, and I didn't like him at first, but now he's easily one of my favorites. Him, Rogan, Trigg, and Miletich are the only guys I can stand.I'm sure jizz is an acquired taste too...............
Rogan is great
Trigg is a mumble mouth (love him as a fighter though)
Pat is really good
I like Jens
Bas is the man
Quadros is great
Rice and Kruk are bearable with a good partner (Kruk much more so)
Guy Mezger stinks (loved him as a fighter)
Frank Shamrock stinks
Ken Shamrock is real good
Goldie, Mauro, Schiavello & Gus Johnson are ALL FUCKING HORRIBLE. At least Mauro knows a ton more than the others.
Haulport,
gotta disagree with you on Bas.... he was good in Pride when he had Quadros or Mauro to prop him up, but the shows he was doing on DREAM for HDNet were awful. He was lazy and uninspired, couldn't be bothered to even be minimally researched on the fights he was calling, and Kenny Rice wasn't capable of taking up the slack. Nothing is worse than two guys sitting there going through the motions, which is what they were doing. The folks they have had in there since then haven't been world beaters but they have been a step up from kenny and bas.
I have know idea why she got fired from WWE right before the new season of Apprentice aired. They even hyped it a bit on WWE programming. I always found her to be one of the hottest Divas, one of the very few with natural boobs.
