On August 5th,2011--the WWE has released,in my opinion,one of the most electrifying Divas in sports-entertainment & pro wrestling today--Miss Melina Perez. Needless to say,I was shocked & heartbroken,when she debuted on SmackDown in April 14, 2005 and when she did what is now called her signature ring entrance,I was in love with her. I always thought she was the most BEAUTIFUL WWE Diva in that company's history and,in my mind & personal opinion,I still do think that to this day,no matter what anyone else says. Now,there was a lot of talk about how Melina is a bitch,Melina sleeps around,Melina this & Melina that. Now,I am going to defend her by saying that after chatting with Melina,I believe that she is only human,like all of us are. She makes mistakes like we do in life. Melina is the sweetest person I have had the honor of following on Twitter. Melina has worked very hard to achieve her dream of making it to the WWE. She has fulfilled her dream but I do not believe she is done yet. I think she has a lot more to offer. She added some spice to the Women's/Diva's Division when she arrived on the scene! Her trademark primal scream makes her opponents cringe in fear,her awesome finishers can knock out the toughest of contenders. Her beautiful smile can light up a room! She is the most wonderful person I have ever seen in the ring and I thank Melina for what she did for the WWE and I am proud to be a Melina fan aka Melinquent! I am honored to be a MELinquent! Her rivalries with Mickie James & Trish Stratus are classics and,later on with Beth Phoenix & LayCool. When she debuted,she was a manager of a high-octane tag-team known as MNM,which consists of Joey Mercury,Johnny Nitro(John Morrison) & Melina,then as their manager. Their gimmick was cool,being A-Listers that claim to hobnob with celebs like Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes,Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson,Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore,Britney Spears & Kevin Federline,and even Paris Hilton. In their in-ring debut match on April 21,2005--they defeated then-WWE Tag-Team Champions Rey Mysterio & the late-WWE Hall Of Famer Eddie Guerrero to become the 1st tag-team in WWE history to win the Tag Team Championship in their debut match. After 3 title reigns,the team split up and Melina & Nitro headed over to RAW where both Nitro & Melina had success when Nitro captured the Intercontinental Championship and Melina captured the Women's Championship during their time on RAW. During that span,MNM reunited to do battle against another high-octane tag-team in the Hardys (Jeff & Matt). It was an awesome matchup and rivalry. Afterwards,MNM parted ways again and Nitro continued to work his way up the ladder on RAW while Melina continues to be the queen bee of the Women's Division until she ran into a buzzsaw named Beth Phoenix. An ankle injury kept Melina out of action & out of the title picture for a while and in the meantime,Beth Phoenix has taken Melina's position as the Queen Bee by capturing the Women's Championship from then-champion Mickie James. When Melina came back,the fans rallied behind her as she picked up where she left off by targeting Beth Phoenix. At the Royal Rumble 2009,Melina dethroned the Glamazon to become the Women's Champion for a 3rd time. Then she was drafted to SmackDown,where she lost the title to Michelle McCool but thanks to RAW guest host Nancy O'Dell in a tri-branded trade,Melina returned to RAW to unseat then-Divas Champion Jillian Hall,who defeated Mickie James a few seconds before Melina knocked her off. But during her title reign,she suffered a torn ACL that kept her out for the better part of 2010,but she returned at Summerslam,dethroning Alicia Fox to become a 2x Divas Champion only to lose the title to LayCool to unify both the Divas & Women's Championships at Night Of Champions. Since then,she stood in the background of the Divas Division until her release this past Friday. I hope Melina reads this so I can let her know that you are SWEETEST person and NO MATTER what anybody else says about you,I ALWAYS believe that you are a great person and a great wrestler in the WWE. I believe all of the WWE Universe WILL see you again someday,whether it is in TNA or back in the WWE,it doesn't matter. Know this,Melina: You are ALWAYS & FOREVER WILL BE the shining star in our hearts! :)
