Kelly Kelly: How I Became a WWE Diva

Kelly Kelly was recently interviewed by The Brisbane Times. Here's an excerpt from the article:

From high school cheerleader to aspiring journalist to saucy WWE Diva Kelly Kelly has followed a varied career path. The star will join fellow wrestlers including John Cena and Randy Orton on a WWE tour across Australia in June.

Kelly found her way into wrestling via modeling; she had been in college studying to become a broadcast journalist, with hopes of becoming a TV anchor.

"WWE contacted me through my modelling agency and they knew I had an athletic background so they sent me down to Atlanta, Georgia where they kicked my butt for a week straight and asked me if I wanted a job at the end of it," Kelly Kelly said.

Living the life of a professional wrestler - working in one of the world's most high-profile companies - is difficult, she said, with an almost constant training schedule, along with travel around the United States and overseas.

"Even on my off days now I'm still training, so I try to get into the ring and learn different stuff," she said. "We consider ourselves a big family [inside wrestling], some people have their own little cliques and we try to get along a best we can."
