Kayfabe Commentaries latest edition of YouShoot featuring former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis may go down as one of the best in the series to date. One of the best things about the YouShoot concept is that the fans get to ask the questions, which means you get to her Maria answer some outrageous questions that no professional interviewer would ask her.

Maria brings the heat right off the bat during the first hour of the shoot discussing her departure from WWE. There's a great moment when host Sean Oliver asks her if she has anything nice to say about Johnny Ace and Maria just looks at him and shakes her head back and forth with a smile on her face.

Maria goes on to discuss how she had some good ideas to allow WWE to promote her music, but all of them got shut down and in the end, she just couldn't come to terms with WWE's ridiculous stance when it came to the rights to her music.

If you've ever wondered if WWE Divas are pressured to be extra skinny with big fake breasts, you won't have to wonder anymore. The fans asked Maria about pressures from WWE management to stay thin and whether or not Maria was asked to have her breasts done. Oliver asks Maria if perhaps WWE took an appropriate approach and had a female representative intimate to her that she should have her breasts done, but that wasn't the case. You won't be shocked to hear told Maria she should have her breasts done. Maria is later asked who has the best breasts in the WWE and she had a great response when she said that her breasts were the best.

As for the Piggy James angle, Maria talked about how it was a good angle from an entertainment standpoint, but she also talked about some of the real pressures that Divas face from management in WWE. Maria talked about how she was told to lose weight at one point because she was getting too fat. I almost fell out of my chair after I heard Maria utter those words because overweight is the last thing I think of when I see Maria.

Maria is a great sport during the shoot and endures a lot of questions from men about whether or not she has seen the male and female wrestlers naked. There were a ridiculous amount of questions about penis size, which forced Maria to mention to Oliver why all of these men are asking about what the guys look like naked.

Of course, the questions asked about what the girls looked like naked and Maria was more than willing to answer questions about who had the best breasts and other related questions. I mentioned on the Radican Audio Showcase last weekend that there weren't really any sleazy segments in this edition of YouShoot, but I was dead wrong, as the portion of the DVD brought the goods if you're into that sort of thing.

As usual, there were a lot of games played on YouShoot. Maria was shown a poster full of naked WWE Divas with their heads covered and she had to guess who each one was. Maria actually put a lot of thought into her choices and only mixed up two of the Divas.

Maria was later asked to put the "ho's" in the "Ho Bag" for the female wrestlers that had loose reputations backstage and "d----" in the "D--- Bag for the men. The only real shocker here was Kelly Kelly almost making it into the "Ho Bag," but Maria ended up giving her a pass.

Maria talked openly about her relationship with C.M. Punk and how being apart so much ended up resulting in them ending their relationship. She really only had good things to say about Punk and how they've handled being around each other after they broke up.

Maria also talks about how the move to Smackdown wasn't so great for her because there's nothing like being on live television. She talked about how all of her segments ended getting edited down and the feeling when performing on the show just wasn't the same as being on Raw.

Maria also discusses how TV PG has hurt the Divas. Maria says they're expected to go out there and dress in a ridiculous manner, but the Divas were told to not let anything slip out in a bikini match. Maria said the TV PG rating has only watered the females down and there's not much spark to the division anymore.

Maria also discussed how frustrating it was to only be given a short amount of time to wrestle on television. She said she loved going out on the road and performing because the Divas were given time to tell a story in the ring, but when they were on television, everything was rushed.

Maria is a great sport and does a great job of answering all of the tough questions that are thrown away. Maria tells a ton of great stories about being on the road and what it was like behind the scenes during the Diva Search. She also goes into great detail about her time on "Celebrity Apprentice." She seems open and honest for the most part and seemed to have a lot of fun doing it. There's so much great stuff on this edition of YouShoot that I have to give it a high reccomendation.
