History Wrestling / Maryse

* IntercourseWithYou: Her theme, "Porquoi", has some suggestive lyrics, but American audiences don't bat an eyelash [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar because it's all in French]].

* ZettaiRyouiki: Her non wrestling attire.

* FrenchJerk: One of her first moments of characterization on the active roster was complaining to the trainer about her ankle, after seemingly breaking Cherry's nose with a kick. This was after [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]] said she was France's best export.

Maryse Ouellet Mizanin (born Maryse Ouellet) (born January 21, 1983) is a French-Canadian professional wrestler and model who formerly worked for the WWE from 2006 to 2011 where she is a two-time Divas Champion. In early 2014, she became the wife of WWE wrestler Wrestling/TheMiz. Thus…[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Mrs…Miz?]] She returned to the company in early 2016 to help her husband win the Intercontinental Championship.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: She's one on ''Smackdown! Live'' to RAW's [[Wrestling/RusevAndLana Lana]] — a leggy, sexy blonde with a bit of European flavor that acts as valet and manager to their real-life husband who competes in the upper midcard. In fact, for a period of about four months in 2016, Miz and Rusev's IC and US Championship reigns ran parallel to each other on their respective shows.

ThatOtherWiki has a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryse_Ouellet rundown]] on her life and career.

* ActionGirl: Pushed to win the divas championship twice in WWE. Has consistently served in a non action capacity on the indies though

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: She's one on ''Smackdown!

In fact, for a period of about four months in 2016, Miz and Rusev's IC and US Championship reigns ran parallel to each other on their respective shows.

* ArmourPiercingSlap: In most of her matches.
* AttentionWhore: Well duh. Commentators even noted that during a championship match, she looked more like she was posing when doing a lot of maneouvres.

* BareYourMidriff: Even when she wore more than a two piece it still usually left her belly exposed
* BilingualBackfire: When she had to face Wrestling/GailKim, she started trash talking in French under the pretence that she was wishing Gail good luck for their match. Right before it, Gail revealed she understood French and hadn't been fooled at all.

* DemotedToExtra: By 2011 was reduced to acting as the host for ''NXT Redemption'' which only aired online. Though this was arguably good for her as her strength was her character rather than her wrestling.

* GameBreakingInjury: Sort of. She returned to wrestling after her first injury and even got pushed to win the Divas' Championship a second time. However her wrestling notably suffered and she was eventually used less and less - culminating in being demoted to a character role. She has not wrestled since her WWE release.

* HairFlip: It was pretty much her signature taunt and it always seemed to stay in the style it started no matter how many times she did so

** When she returned from injury in 2009, she did so dressed as the Gobbledegooker. And used the head as a weapon to attack Melina.

* ItsPronouncedTroPay: Would frequently chew people out for not pronouncing her name the proper French way. She didn't seem to mind people simply saying 'ma-reece', but it was a BerserkButton if they said 'maw-reece' or 'morris'.

* SmallNameBigEgo: She berated Wrestling/{{Melina}} for taking so long to finally beat Wrestling/BethPhoenix, stating it would have only taken her five minutes to win the Women's Championship. (Melina responded with that being about how long Maryse lasted at Survivor Series before Beth Phoenix pinned her)

* {{Stripperific}}: Honestly, wrestling costumes tend towards minimalism anyway, especially in USA but Maryse called special attention to Maria's, predicting her bra would not be able to survive a match. Maryse's own clothing was apparently robust enough because it was flown in from France.

* TheTease: Was labelled one by The Miz.

* ZettaiRyouiki Her non wrestling attire.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Her wrestling attire. She went as short as it was possible to go on PG television.

* TakeThatScrappy: During an interview at the WWE 2017 Hall of Fame ceremony, Maryse bit back at Cena for saying she never did anything of note during her original tenure in the WWE, stating that what he said diminished the efforts of the women she worked with at that time. She also found it rather hypocritical of him to speak so highly of the Women's Revolution, yet had Nikki stand next to him as little more than arm candy.

* '''AlphaBitch''': The picture immediately to the right pretty much tells you all you need to know about her attitude. Notably when Wrestling/MichelleMcCool turned heel, Maryse didn't seem to like the implication that she was trying to be the top heel on Smackdown.

%% * AttentionWhore: Well duh.

%% * ImprovisedWeapon: The Gobbledy Gooker's head. Poor Melina.

* MsFanservice: Used to welcome viewers back to Smackdown in the ''exact'' same way Sunny did years before.

* RapunzelHair: Reaching down to her hips.

* SmallNameBigEgo: She berated Wrestling/{{Melina}} for taking so long to finally beat Wrestling/BethPhoenix, stating it would have only taken her five minutes to win the women's championship. (Melina responded with that being about how long Maryse lasted at survivor series before Beth Phoenix pinned her)

** TheBusCameBack: Returned in April 2016 to help Miz win the Intercontinental title.

* DirtyCoward: With the exception of Maria and maybe Aksana she seemed intimidated by every competitor she had once the bell sounded. It was more subtle when she first started on Smackdown but was shown to be shamelessly afraid of Wrestling/MickieJames by her Raw draft.

* BlondesAreEvil: You could probably count the nice things she did for someone else on one hand.

* {{Heel}}: She was a baby {{face}} in OVW but was always a heel in WWE. Even when she split from Ted Di Biase, she remained heel. She's sort of a face by default in Family Wrestling Entertainment though.

* ArchEnemy: Michelle [=McCool=], even after the latter turned heel they still didn't like each other.
