Ring of Honor First Lady Maria Kanellis has revealed that she turned down an opportunity to work for TNA.
The former WWE Diva, who can be seen with real-life boyfriend Mike Bennett on ROH television, tells WrestlingInc.com: “They have approached me, but I love my spot at Ring of Honor. I can’t imagine leaving.”
Kanellis continues: “I just said, ‘Not at this time’. You never know what the future holds but just not at this time.”

The former Playboy covergirl also heralded current TNA star Tara, real name Lisa Marie Varon, as one of the “greatest female wrestlers of all time”.
Kanellis says of Varon: “Right now, she is the best that is out there. The only people that I probably could compare her to is Sara Del Rey and Beth Phoenix. Those are the only other two that I think are on that level of amazingness. But, I don’t watch the show very often.”
