10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 28 Facts
7. Maria Menounos Worked Her Match With Two Broken Ribs
Another celebrity admirer of WWE's is Menounos, the energetic television hostess who had previously performed in WWE matches on special occasions. She would team with Kelly Kelly to face Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres in what was actually a decent match, even though Menounos worked it while in considerable pain.
At the time of the WrestleMania match, Menounos was also a contestant on Dancing With the Stars (The American spin-off of Strictly Come Dancing, for those in the WhatCulture mainland), and had broken two ribs during rehearsal for the show. The Wrestling Observer also says that she sustained a stress fracture in her foot while practicing for the ballroom.
Her work in the match was relatively light, and she didn't take any serious bumps. Overall, Menounos managed to look highly competent by celebrity standards, even at far less than 100 percent.
