WWE Diva : Beth Phoenix
Elizabeth Carolan was born November 24, 1980 in New York, New York.
But WWE fans know her better as "The Glamazon", Beth Phoenix.
Beth didn't come to the WWE via a Diva Search or someone seeing her in a magazine.
Beth worked for it.
She was the first female varsity wrestler in Notre Dame High School 's history.
Beth also became the women's champion (72 kg weight class) at the New York State Fair Tournament in 1999. And she was named the most outstanding wrestler in 1999 the Brockport Freestyle Tournament.
After that Beth wrestled for various independent promotions Far North Wrestling (becoming their Cruiserweight Champion) before making her way to Ohio Valley Wrestling, becoming the OVW Women's Wrestling Champion.
Then Beth worked her way up to the WWE and became the WWE Women's Wrestling Champion.

SmackDown: Vladimir Kozlov
Another wrestler that's fairly new to WWE fans is Vladimir Kozlov.
But like Kizarny, he may be new to the WWE, but not wrestling.
Or in Vladimir's case, fighting in general.
This guy is trained in freestyle wrestling, rugby, American football, sambo (2005 USA Open Heavyweight Sambo Champion), kickboxing ((USKBA) International Heavyweight Grappling Champion), judo, and MMA.
That translates into tough.
Vladimir was born Oleg Aleksandrovich Prudius on July 4, 1972 in the Ukraine.
He last a long string of victories in the WWE that kinda reminds me of Goldberg's run in the WCW.
Besides wrestling on Smackdown, Vladimir has appeared in several TV shows and movies.
He was in the "Werewolf Women of the SS" trailer (along with Andrew Martin aka Test) by Rob Zombie in Grindhouse, he was in the HBO series The Wire, and he was in Spike Lee's film 25th Hour, as Russian mafia enforcer. He also did some TV and even stage plays in the Ukraine.
This guy is amazingly well rounded.
