Melina Perez…let’s celebrate her as well!

I used to be a rather huge wrestling fan. Like, really huge. Nowadays not so much. Don’t get me wrong, I do still watch every so often, and I enjoy it, but not nearly to the same extent. I imagine it’s something that practically everyone enjoys much more when they’re younger, and that was certainly the case for me. Saying that, there are still a few wrestlers who I really like, namely Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and…Melina Perez, who I think is a kind of hero. Yes, that bendy Hispanic girl who screams a lot. Awesome.

Anyway, she recently wrote a blog on her WWE Universe account, which I’m going to post a link right now. It was pretty eye-opening, so if you care then take a read:

I’ve been a fan of Melina for a while, and I realise that there’s been a lot of negative internet gossip and whatnot surrounding her, which I’ve always brushed off as idiocy and, well, gossip. Mick Foley backs me, fyi - read his third book! It’s refreshing to hear her take on all of this. Not that I know her, but she strikes me as a genuinely sweet person – even back in her bitchy MNM days, haha. The fact that she’s had to put up with so much really says a lot, and I do hope that this will open a lot of eyes and shut a lot of mouths.

Why do I love Melina so much, out of all of those wrestlers? Well, firstly she’s really beautiful, obviously. Secondly, she came about at a time when I was kind of giving up on wrestling and captivated me. Weirdly, I’ve been captivated ever since. I barely ever watch wrestling shows on TV, but I always take the time to watch Melina’s matches and segments on YouTube (of course, it’s not possible at the minute given her injury). The woman just has so much charisma, fire and passion, which she combines with a sense of elegance and class that I consider pretty rare. There’s just something about her that always shines through, be it as an uber-bitch or everyone’s favourite screaming hellcat fan-favourite.

I’m going to close this with some of my favourite Melina matches and memories, which you’ll find below. I can’t find some of the matches/clips on YouTube, but these should suffice. I also wanna wish her a speedy and healthy recovery. Get well soon Melina! Hopefully this didn’t come off as too stalker-ish.
