Out of all of the people you put ahead of her, only Mickie is still with the company. That being said, while she definitely has the better ability, Melina has a ton more presence and charisma. As crummy as it is, ability as a manager and mouthpiece is more important to a female WWE employee than wrestling ability, because unless you are THE wrestling female in the company, you aren't going to last. Lita's career was defined largely by the men she hung around with. Pieces of eye candy go stale after a while and get replaced, and women who are dedicated wrestlers get released because nobody misses them except the people who really really care. The only thing I can see going wrong with Melina's career is if she and Nitro break up. At that point it's 50-50 between two things. One, she gets released. Two, she get put with someone else. And then it's another 50-50 that she succeeds with that guy, and every guy that she doesn't do well with adds to the chance she gets released when that run is over.
In other words, unless you're a playboy model, or a Go Daddy.com commercial star, or the main focus of women's wrestling in WWE, or an 80 year old willing to take a bump every once in a while, you get treated as a disposable commodity. Melina distinguishes herself as the Sensational Sherri of today, and if she can stick to that, she'll outlast many of the other women in the company.
