[@ChrisVanVliet]

Yes, this is a reupload. For some reason the original version was taken down by KZbin. If you liked and commented on that one, please take a second to do it here too. Thanks! 💪🔥

[@hrodriguez561]

I was about to say didn't you upload this like a week ago

[@Dr_Sweet]

KZbin is annoying with that

[@thegameslave2]

Weird. Nothing about the OG upload seemed worthy of YT dropping the hammer on you.

[@Therealmrmcclappins27]

Thank god you were able to get it back up Chris great interview!

[@user-ih2tr7rt9r]

It’s OK Chris let’s just hope it doesn’t happen. Again thanks for uploading it again.

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

Kelly Kelly was my first WWE crush❤

[@z3n_z]

16:18 I don't know why, but this is wayyyyy too funny to Me 🤣 The Vince Impression 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 The "Yeah... mm hmm" 🥹😅 Then, going backstage and just straight-up crying 😭 SHE'S THE BEST!! 😂🔥💯

[@lonziex2]

Kelly Kelly is one of my favorite divas! 💖

[@thetruej7872]

Kelly Kelly was my childhood crush

[@user-jb6zr1sp2x]

Young Trish stratus , Candice Michelle,Torrie Wilson and Kelly kelly wwe really struck gold in in the looks department w these women

[@hardclippeR]

She literally was my first crush lol

[@michaelcarter983]

She's still hot af

[@chuy98luna]

Kelly Kelly, Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler were my biggest crushes then.

[@KHLthe2nd]

I like seeing these interviews because there are some many things we didn't know the inner workings of the Divas division at the time. Makes me appreciate their efforts more because of all the work they reveal to us through your interviews.

[@janlesnar5426]

Thx for this interview. Kelly Kelly was my first ever teenage crush when I was about 12 years old, had posters of her in my room. To me she is one of the most beautiful women in the world and I'm glad her life went so well bc being a star this young with 16 in an era where women were often sexualized could have gone very wrong...but she seems to be such a sweet person, this interview gave me many awesome flashbacks!

[@GrapplingHour]

What a great burst of energy this one was. Thanks for re-uploading, boss!

[@gerardolopez3637]

I hope Kelly Kelly does make a return to WWE it's 2024 anything is possible

[@yusufgazi7]

She's the same age as Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, so she should

[@Princessfusion]

Kelly Kelly is the reason I watched wrestling in the first place please come back Kelly ❤️❤️ that would be amazing

[@dipanjandasgupta6170]

She was my crush when I was in 10th grade, this was back in 2010, it is nice to see her again after all these years :) it'd be nice to see her back!

[@PrimeDimeTV]

Great Interview!❤

[@alonsoguttierrez4455]

I still to this day love her she is amazing

[@castielclouds5360]

Kelly Kelly is the greatest beautiful female legend wrestler like she's a WWE Legend alongside with Trish Stratus and Torrie Wilson!! Maybe in 2024, I hope that WWE Legend Triple-H could bring her (Kelly) back cause she's the former WWE Divas Champion and WWE 24/7 Champion like 2x times! But she'll come back to wrestle in the future and she'll become the WWE Hall Of Famer!!😍 #WWELegendsKellyKelly😍🏆✨🌟💗💕💞🔥💖

You seriously expect me to leave another comment on a video I already watched? No way, not going to happen. Not in a million years would I waste my time posting another comment on a video I previously commented on.

[@ChrisVanVliet]

Haha I appreciate you!

[@whisperienced]

@@ChrisVanVliet oh that wasn't a comment and this is not a reply to your reply to my non-comment. Again I reiterate I'm not going to commemt.

[@daviskaedrick4830]

40:41 this! 😢

[@jefezstory2955]

This was great sucks that KZbin deleted the first on you

[@jamiashoffler5426]

Kelly still have that pretty smile!

[@redranger4953]

Kelly Kelly is one of my favourite female wrestlers. While her in-ring work wasn't excellent, she had always tried to improve, had an organic connection with the fans, and is an absolute sweetheart.

[@jaxsonschoening]

In the words of Kelly Kelly “What about the divas!!?”

[@Bakutalk]

KZbin became a bigger heel than Dominik by taking down the original. Boooooooo!

[@mychaeljones7526]

I love how she has no regrets about herself and is full of life

[@JoshinTexas85]

She would be cool to see in today's wwe I think she would really get to show what she can do

[@mikeysironrage8103]

She's so 🔥

[@lhautlow]

The Tag WWE division gonna be stacked in 2050 with all these twins XD

[@davidclark6448]

❤️

[@gerardolopez3637]

Chelsea Green and Maxine Dupri are great opponents for KELLY KELLY

[@Celes2001]

Maybe Tiffany Stratton

[@gunm808]

fwiw, we also did The Schedule for ours and it was just the best thing possible.

[@MrClawmaster]

Kelly took the kendo stick shot from Sandman like a champ.

[@kevingrace945]

she didn't mention dating Drew McIntrye

[@jimcheung3527]

Liked and commented. Done and done!

[@FelipeGarica37]

Can you interview Katie Lea Burchill.

[@jeremyotero1817]

I remember when she won the Divas championship a lot of haters were all over twitter. However, at the time I was like girl you deserve it. Hell the bella twins won the title why not you!

[@brandonhorrorfan137]

She's still gorgeous

[@ARS_Time_Bomb]

Kelly Kelly is so silly and goofy, she seems like a cool person to be around.

[@charlieflickinger7372]

Kelly Kelly is the road map WWE should use for Maxxine. Let her struggle and grow and build that rapport with the audience and then STRAP A FREAKING ROCKET TO HER once the in-ring matches the character, because Maxxine is a freaking STAR on the mic.

[@charlieflickinger7372]

Ew. No. Please don't bring back the Divas Title or moniker. Women have come wayyy too far to be regulated to being 'Divas' anymore.

[@AliKing]

sometimes i forget that kelly kelly REALLY STARTED IN ECW! talk about a baptism of fire , all while being hit with a cane 😂😂 🔥🔥🔥

[@ARS_Time_Bomb]

The things Kelly Kelly did to my puberty 😭😭😭🥴

[@xristova94]

Kelly faced the Bellas aka Garcias back then and now she had twins herself

[@vijaykarunakaran1566]

Of course CVV. Pickering and Scarborough are neighbours. 🇨🇦

[@kleveon93]

Imagine If Kelly Kelly Return She And Alexa and Liv Morgan Would Create A New Blonde Faction.

Kelly Kelly x Liv Morgan would be an interesting tag team. Liv4Kelly? 🤔

[@danmtz8007]

kelly kelly vs tiffany stratton

[@Spilltheteamedia]

Yes.

[@yusufgazi7]

Charlotte Flair and Kelly Kelly are the same age, Kelly Kelly should return to WWE

[@Celes2001]

No ..Becky and Kelly

[@yusufgazi7]

@@Celes2001 Yeah still the same point, she's their age and they're current stars

[@jesterboykins2899]

I want to interview CVV… why not you know?

[@bigc2626]

Now I think there should be some accountability on her part because it was ultimately her choice, but I think higher ups at WWE really took advantage of her when she first came on to TV in the WWE version of ECW. Specifically those dance show offs they would have her do where they would have her take her bra off and turn around with only her hands across her bare breasts. I think she was really young, like 19 at the time. And you’re just really influenced and trusting of others at that age. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable it must’ve been for her to do that knowing there were little kids sitting right there watching her from the audience.

[@theaaliyahkylie]

they definitely did. they knew what they were doing

[@ElizabethMconkey]

kelly kelly still looks 19 years younger…….if she can wrestle go for it

[@gerardolopez3637]

I'm watching it again I don't care

[@y212ify]

damn yt trippin

[@DAHARRISHERE]

IF KELLY KELY'S TWINS DEBUTED IN WWE WOULD THEY BE CALLED THE KELLA TWINS LOL

[@FUFUCarnagerap]

She, the Bella Twins, Alicia Fox, Natalya, Naomi,Eve Torres... these will for me ALWAYS represent everything that was wrong with Wrestling before the Womens Revolution! They are , what the Revolution revolutionized!

[@ogatahyakunosuke]

they did the best they could with what they given. it's not their fault, especially the bellas

[@FUFUCarnagerap]

@@ogatahyakunosuke Ehm...No...The Bellas are the worst of them all! By FAR

[@euanpetersen7751]

Crazy how you're blaming them and not the company for not providing them with the proper training they needed.

[@FUFUCarnagerap]

@@euanpetersen7751 i blame the company for bringing in people that should have never be brought in. And i blame them for just seeing the money. And i blame fans like you, that watched this like a virgin in mommys basement…

[@bigtiff2012]

I don’t take her seriously as a heel. She was too baby face the fans loved her

[@springer90]

Kelly wants to return to WWE? Someone should tell her that Vince isn't there anymore.

[@jesterboykins2899]

Can someone count how many times she says “like” please… I can’t. Off to work. I’m gonna guess. 350 times

[@temperedglass1130]

she used to be so hot back in the day.
