Throughout his entire career in the WWE, Kane has been no stranger to dysfunctional relationships.
Tori (Terri Poch), Katie Vick (ugh) and Lita spring to mind.
And now we have Kane and AJ.

Aksana and Antonio Cesaro
Here is WWE Diva Aksana and WWE Superstar Antonio Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli).
You know back in the "Old Days" they would say a wrestler was from another country (in this case Switzerland) and he would actually be from Newark, New Jersey.
But Antonio really was born in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Add to that the fact that Aksana really was born in Alytus, Lithuanian SSR, Soviet Union and these days, wrestling really IS international.

DH Smith
Wow...you talk about a WWE Superstar with a pedigree, check out DH Smith.
DH was born Harry Smith on August 2, 1985 in Calgary, Alberta.
In case you're wondering, the D in DH stands for his father Davey Boy Smith, and the H stands for his uncle Bruce Hart.
This young man started his wrestling training at the age of eight, and actually made his pro wrestling debut at the age of ten!
Yes, that's right, ten.
He teamed up with his cousin Ted Annis against TJ Wilson and Andrew Picarnia at a WWF house show in Calgary.
His "official" in ring debut wasn't until the ripe old age of 15 though.
The WWE tried to snag him in 2004, but Harry turned them down, wanting to attend college and wrestle in Japan first before signing.
Harry spent some time in Japan, and later at the induction of Bret Hart into the WWE Hall of Fame, he met with WWE executives and signed a developmental contract with on April 4, 2006.
He is currently in FCW working on his in ring skills and personality.

WWE Divas, Melina

Melina Nava Perez was born on March 9, 1979 in Los Angeles, California.
Melina started out as a model, won a Miss California beauty contest and modeled athletic wear for Nike.
Even though her modeling future looked bright, after talking to Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF) superstar (and family friend) Mike Henderson in 2000, Melina decided to give pro wrestling a try.
She trained at Jesse Hernandez's School of Hard Knocks in California and made her pro wrestling debut in April 2002.
After wrestling for EWF and CRUSH, Melina entered Tough Enough III, and made it to the final 21 before being eliminated.
But Al Snow noticed her ability in the ring and pulled her aside. He encouraged her to keep trying to pursue her career as a wrestler.
Melina went to OVW, and after working there, finally made her official debut on the April 14, 2005 edition of SmackDown! with MNM.
Since then, Melina has gone on to hold the WWE Women's Wrestling Championship twice.

She is a female pro wrestling working for the WWE on it's WWE Raw show under the ring name Jillian Hall.
Unlike some of the WWE Divas, Jillian actually had a wrestling background before the WWE.

WWE Diva: Candice Michelle
Candice Michelle Beckman-Ehrlich was born September 30, 1978 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Of course WWE fans know her better as Candice Michelle or simply Candice.
You can see her on WWE's Monday Night Raw.
Candice came to the WWE via the Raw Diva Search, where she didnt even make it into the top ten finalists. However, the WWE hired her anyway and put in storylines as a makeup artist.
She was moved from Raw to Smackdown were she got involved in the Torrie Wilson / Melina feud, and got her first time actually on the wrestling mat. Although it was as a ref at The Great American Bash.
Candice went back to Raw with Torrie and they both became heels. Along with Victoria they formed the Ladies in Pink, which later became Vince's Devils.
Her background as a model and actress didn't do her a lot of good in the WWE ring where she was used pretty much as eye candy. But Candice did begin working on her in ring skills. She turned face and defeated then Champion Melina at Vengeance becoming the first Diva Search particapant to win a WWE belt.
Although she seems to really try to improve her wrestling game, Candice has suffered a few injures along the way.
Victoria kicked her in the face breaking her nose on Raw during a Diva battle royal, Beth Phoenix cracked her clavicle during her rematch for the Women's Title and in a tag team match with Maria against Victoria and Jillian Hall, she broke her clavicle in four separate places, shattering it.
But Candice keeps coming back.

WWE Smackdown!: Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy.
Wow.
I mean the man is a talented performer.
In my opinion VERY talented.
But this is a guy that's personal life seems to get in the way of his wrestling career.
If the WWE were Hollywood, Jeff would be hanging around with Paris, Britney and Lindsay.
Okay, maybe not Lindsay, her girlfriend might object, but you get the idea.
The wrestling websites constantly have Jeff's latest escapades posted and updated.
But the fact that he is still with the WWE tells you something.
Some of the best midcard matches I've seen on WWE Raw were Jeff Hardy matches.
Of course now he's on Smackdown! and I wonder what his future will hold.
But unlike a lot of the WWE's performers, Jeff's future may not rely on WWE managment, but on him.

Ryan Braddock

Brad Bradley was born November 17, 1980 in DeKalb, Illinois. He is a pro wrestler currently wrestling for the WWE on its SmackDown brand as Ryan Braddock.
Bradley debuted on the WWE SmackDown roster on the August 15 edition, under the name Ryan Braddock. He was easily defeated by The Big Show after a knockout hook punch.
At the August 14, 2008 FCW TV taping, Bradley wrestled under the Ryan Braddock name, making it his permanent ring name.
On the August 22 edition of WWE SmackDown, Braddock competed in a battle royal to qualify for the WWE Championship Scramble match at Unforgiven, but was eliminated, again, by Big Show, who was not even officially in the match.
September 2 on ECW, Braddock lost to Ricky Ortiz after being pinned by Ortiz's Big O finisher.
On the September 19 edition of SmackDown, Braddock competed in a one fall match-up with Festus, who was accompanied by his tag team partner Jesse.
Braddock won the match as a result of a disqualification, after Jesse and Festus wrapped him in bubble wrap and duct tape.
" Bubble wrap and duct tape"?
Okay......
Side note: Bradley suffers from an overactive thyroid, which would cause him to fall asleep during some of his early matches.

Hardcore Holly, part 2

In 1999, Bob Holly entered the race for the WWF's new Hardcore Division Title, billing himself as Hardcore Holly. As part of his new gimmick, he formed an alliance/rivalry with The Big Show, a real super heavyweight embarrassed by Holly's delusions of grandeur. He then teamed up with an on-screen cousin Crash Holly, with whom he won the WWF Tag Team Championships. In 2000, Hardcore Holly challenged Chyna for a shot at the disputed Intercontinental title on Raw is War. He lost the match due to interference from Chris Jericho, and later lost a Triple Threat Match against Chyna and Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship at the 2000 Royal Rumble. Jericho became the sole Intercontinental Champion. Later in 2000, another on-screen "cousin", Molly Holly was introduced. Earlier that same year, Holly missed several months of ring time due to a legitimate broken arm, suffered at the hands of an errant moonsault from Kurt Angle.

Michael "Mike" Mizanin, " The Miz" part 3

On March 8, 2006, WWE.com featured a video of "The Miz" stating that he was headed to Friday Night SmackDown! and throughout April, SmackDown! aired vignettes hyping his debut. However, when Mizanin actually attempted to make his debut on the April 21, 2006 edition of SmackDown! he was barred from entering the arena by "network executive" Palmer Cannon who told him that he had been "canceled" before having security escort him from the premises.
In May 31, 2006, WWE.com announced that he would serve as SmackDown!'s "host" on May 31.
Miz debuted as the "host" on June 2, 2006, announcing the planned card at the top of the show and attempting to hype up the crowd. Other "host" duties included backstage interviews and hosting a bikini contest. The hosting duties seemed sporadic at best, with some weeks having little to no Miz at all.
Starting in July, Miz, along with Ashley Massaro, became host of the annual Diva Search competition appearing on both RAW and SmackDown!. At the start of his new hosting duties, in front of the live RAW crowd, Miz was noticeably nervous and flubbed his lines, including calling contestants by the wrong name. Though he seemed to get better as the weeks went on, he quickly became the butt of on-air jokes by other WWE Superstars.
After the end of the Diva Search competition, The Miz returned exclusively to SmackDown! and adopted a cocky heel persona, starting his in-ring competition with a win over Tatanka on September 1, 2006. After this win he, along with commentator Michael Cole, began to note whenever possible that he was "undefeated", though he only wrestled five matches over the next two months, defeating such superstars as Matt Hardy, and Scotty 2 Hotty At the same time he began a feud with Diva Search winner Layla El, who spurned his advances on more than one occasion, leading to Miz helping Kristal defeat her in various competitions. Soon, however, Miz and Kristal found themselves being stalked by the returning Boogeyman, beginning a feud during which The Boogeyman handed Miz his first defeat at Armageddon.
Following a brief absence from TV, Miz returned to SmackDown! to host an interview segment called Miz TV. After the segment went nowhere, Mizanin returned to wrestling with a more intense style and began to pick up wins once again. On the June 11, 2007 edition of RAW, Mizanin faced off against Snitsky in a match to determine a draft pick for SmackDown!. Snitsky easily squashed Mizanin to give ECW the pick, but after constantly attacking The Miz after the match, the referee reversed the decision and awarded the match to Mizanin, thus allowing SmackDown! a draft pick. SmackDown!'s pick was then revealed to be Chris Masters.
Miz was drafted from SmackDown! to ECW on June 17, 2007 as part of the 2007 Supplemental Draft. He was absent from the first few weeks of ECW, though he was the subject of backstage mentions between matches and had several short Miz TV Crashes ECW video segments. He made his debut on the July 10 edition of ECW in a match against Nunzio, which he won. Following this match, Extreme Exposé began expressing admiration in him and gave him a lap-dance, starting a new gimmick for him of a self-proclaimed "chick magnet". Extreme Expose then became managers for The Miz. He then began a feud with Balls Mahoney, after Kelly Kelly began to kayfabe fall in love with Balls. On the October 2 edition of ECW, it was revealed that Miz kayfabe owned the contracts of Kelly Kelly, Layla El and Brooke Adams, and used this excuse to stop Kelly from going out with Mahoney. He was voted at Cyber Sunday to face CM Punk, for the ECW Championship but lost the match.
On November 16, 2007 on Friday Night Smackdown, Miz became one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions with John Morrison when they defeated Matt Hardy and MVP in a title match, which marks Miz's first taste of WWE gold.

Michael "Mike" Mizanin, " The Miz"

Michael "Mike" Mizanin (born October 8, 1980) better known by his ring name The Miz, is an American professional wrestler working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on its ECW brand, and also makes appearances on SmackDown!, where he currently holds one half of the WWE Tag Team Championship with John Morrison.
Mizanin is best known for his time on numerous MTV reality shows prior to becoming a professional wrestler
Mizanin, a native of Parma, Ohio, attended Miami University, where he was a member of the Theta Chi Fraternity, and studied business at the Richard T. Farmer School of Business. During his freshman year, he roomed with former Miami RedHawks member Nick Jardine, and bodybuilding male gymnast Todd J. Hartman.
Mizanin later relocated to southern California in order to attend acting classes. He also visited high schools and colleges, delivering motivational speeches.
Mizanin dropped out of college in order to appear on the tenth season of MTV's reality television program The Real World in 2001. He went on to appear in multiple spin-offs, including seasons 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge with contestants from MTV's Road Rules. He appeared on the Challenge seasons Battle of the Seasons, The Gauntlet, The Inferno, Battle of the Sexes 2, and The Inferno 2. He was known for doing well on the challenges and made it to the end of them all except for Battle of the Sexes 2, winning Battle of the Seasons and The Inferno 2.
It was during an episode of The Real World that Mizanin first displayed an alter ego known as "The Miz". In contrast to Mizanin's usually placid demeanor, The Miz was angry, confrontational and headstrong. Mizanin later realized that "The Miz" would make an excellent professional wrestling gimmick.
Mizanin had a number of relationships during his various "Challenge seasons"; during The Gauntlet he dated Trishelle Cannatella of The Real World: Las Vegas, during The Inferno he had a relationship with Kendal Sheppard of Road Rules: Campus Crawl, and during Battle of the Seasons he had another brief relationship with Tara McDaniel of Road Rules: Northern Trail.
He's also known for his roller coaster friendship with Coral Smith on The Real World and various Real World/Road Rules Challenges after.
In 2004, he appeared on the Bravo reality show Battle of the Network Reality Stars where his team finished second.
Mizanin was also a contestant in the Reality Stars episode of Fear Factor. His partner was his former girlfriend and cast mate, Trishelle Cannatella, and the two of them ended up winning the competition.
On April 20, 2007, he appeared on the game show Identity, where he appeared as a stranger, and contestant John Kim correctly identified him as a professional wrestler.

John Hennigan, John Morrison, Johnny Nitro, part 3

MNM continued on and off as a unit until Mercury was released from WWE in March 2007. Without Mercury, Nitro was paired up with Kenny Dykstra until the annual WWE draft, during which Nitro was sent to the ECW brand and Dykstra to SmackDown!.
He made his ECW debut on June 19 with a win over Nunzio. The very next week, at the Vengeance pay-per-view , he replaced Chris Benoit in a match against CM Punk; for the vacant ECW World Championship, which he won,.
A few weeks after winning the title, Nitro's name was changed to John Morrison and his character was tweaked to be more even more conceited and self-aggrandizing. After defeating CM Punk again at the Great American Bash, he began taking part in a "15 Minutes Of Fame" segment on the weekly ECW on Sci Fi television program, where if a wrestler could either defeat Morrison, or last 15 minutes without being defeated by Morrison, they would be granted a title shot. The first wrestler to do so turned out to be CM Punk, setting up another match between the two at SummerSlam, which Morrison won when he used the ring ropes for leverage.
The next week, Punk again became #1 contender,this time taking the Championship at a September 1 television taping in Cincinnati, Ohio. Hennigan was then suspended for 30 days following a violation of the WWE's Talent Wellness Policy after returning from his suspension, he renewed his feud with Punk, this time also fending off The Miz who was also after the title. Though enemies, The Miz and Morrison teamed on the November 16 (taped November 13) episode of SmackDown! to take the WWE Tag Team Championship from Matt Hardy and Montel Vontavious Porter.
At Survivor Series, Morrison and The Miz were both defeated by CM Punk in a triple threat match for the ECW Championship.
Hennigan was in a long term relationship with Melina Perez, his former on screen manager, but they have since broken up. The pair met during auditions for Tough Enough III, although she didn't make the show.
Articles posted by Sports Illustrated, the New York Daily News, and the Washington Post during the weekend of August 30, 2007, named Hennigan as one of a number of WWE superstars to have purchased pharmaceuticals from an online pharmacy, a violation of the WWE "Talent Wellness" program. Specifically, Hennigan received somatropin, anastrozole, testosterone, stanozolol and chorionic gonadotropin between June 2006 and February 2007, which is after the "no drugs from online sources" rule was instituted. As a result of the infraction, Hennigan was suspended for 30 days.

Balls Mahoney

Jonathan Rechner (born April 11, 1972) better known by his ring name Balls Mahoney, is an American professional wrestler. Mahoney is perhaps best known for his appearances with ECW in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He is currently signed to the WWE wrestling on its ECW brand.
In 2005, Mahoney made a non-wrestling appearance at the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) promoted ECW One Night Stand reunion show, taking part -- alongside Axl Rotten -- in a brawl with Kid Kash, Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, the Dudley Boyz, and the Blue World Order before the main event. After the main event, Mahoney and Rotten returned to the ring to brawl with the "invading" Raw and SmackDown! wrestlers.
In 2006, when WWE relaunched ECW as their own brand, one of the first announcements was the signing of Balls Mahoney. His signing was announced with that of Axl Rotten, but when Rotten missed some WWE dates and was released, Balls was left to start a singles career.
During the "cross promotion" hype Balls appeared on the June 5, episode of RAW with other ECW wrestlers who proceeded to attack WWE Champion John Cena. He appeared again as a part of the ECW team in the "WWE vs. ECW team battle royal" at the WWE vs. ECW Head to Head event on June 7. The next night a match between Balls Mahoney and Masato Tanaka was officially added to the 2006 One Night Stand pay-per-view, which Balls won following a chair shot (denting the chair) to Tanaka's head.
When ECW on Sci Fi debuted, Balls started off with a small role in the company, having sporadic matches and little else. However, once the show got going he started to appear in vignettes talking about how tough he is, elevating his role on the show. On the September 12 episode of ECW on Sci Fi Mahoney entered a feud with Kevin Thorn after Thorn and his valet Ariel cost him a match against René Duprée. The following week, he brought Francine to ringside with him, marking her first televised appearance at the revived ECW ring, where she proceeded to get into a catfight with Ariel. That pairing, however, was short lived as Francine was released shortly after. On the January 2, 2007 edition of ECW on Sci Fi, Mahoney had one of his front teeth (legitimately) knocked out during a match with Kevin Thorn.
Shortly after, Balls began a short feud with Snitsky. On the June 4 edition of ECW, Balls, Tommy Dreamer, and Sandman faced Bobby Lashley in a 3 on 1 Hardcore Handicap Match for the ECW Championship, in which they were defeated. On the August 7, 2007 episode of ECW, Balls went against The Miz in a losing effort. During and after the match, it appeared that Kelly Kelly was concerned about him. Over the weeks that followed, he attempted to ask her out to dinner and flirted with her backstage, but was interrupted by The Miz, Brooke, and Layla before Kelly could get a word in. Regardless, Kelly still showed interest in him each week, wishing him good luck before his match, winking at him, and cheering him on during his match. On the September 18, 2007 edition of ECW, after defeating Mike Knox in a match, he asked Kelly Kelly if she would go out with him to which she couldn't respond due to The Miz taking her backstage. However, weeks later, Kelly Kelly asked him if he would go out with her, in which he agreed.
