Can You Really Blame Maryse?

Several wrestling sites are saying that Ted DiBiase's lack of a WWE push is because Maryse is not doing all that well as a valet.
They are saying that Maryse is more interested in making herself look good than being an "effective" valet.
One article even referenced Maryse as "the former glamour model"

????

Okay... Maryse IS a a former glamour model and a former Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada.
But you have to remember that she is also a former WWE Divas Champion.
Two times actually.

I never thought I would be defending Maryse's wrestling skills (okay, actually I'm still not), but would the WWE take John Cena and make him Edge's valet and expect him to go at it heart and soul?

I know the Women's Belts mean next to nothing to Vince and his crew, but taking a former champion and making a them a valet makes the title (and the wrestlers) look weak.
Remember K-Fed pinning Cena?
That STILL makes me mad to this day.

Remember when women started OUT as valets and worked up to being wrestlers?

Yes we know the Divas are just Eye Candy to the WWE story writers.
Fortunately that's not the case in TNA (okay...not as much so) and thank God the Indys still hold the female wrestlers in high regard.
Lucha Libre and Joshi treat their female wrestlers better than that.

So yeah, maybe Maryse IS slacking off as a valet.

Can you blame her?

To paraphrase Bret Hart....

"Who are you to doubt Maryse?

WWE Diva's Champion Maryse

Maryse beat Michelle McCool for the WWE Diva's title on the December 26,2008 edition of SmackDown!.
Then on December 28, one of the Bella Twins(I don't know which one)nailed her with a dropkick that landed on her kneecap and dislocated her knee in a wrestling match in Raleigh NC.
Not a good year end for the new WWE Diva's Champ.
But now the word is that Maryse will return to the ring on January 16th, which seems a bit early to me.
I'm not a doctor or a trainer, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
