Melina is the best.
And I don't mean in terms of how badly I'd wanna bang her, though I'd like to.
I mean her as a talent. Seriously, shes a great women's wrestler but thats not what's the best. I think she's an amazing character and has a lot of potential as a vicious, jezebel heel valent/manager. I think they need to make her not just another diva, but a serious valet for Johnny Nitro and eventually other top singles stars. To be honest, I see her being as awesome as Sensational Sherri. And I normally think women in wrestling are garbage and nothing more than ratings eye candy. So this is actually pretty rare for me. I don't expect you to care, but those that do weigh in. |

I agree man. But the only way she keeps it up, is to be a heel manager. Don't ever turn her face

What has she done to truly differentiate herself from the rest of the rabble. And don't say "splits."

Shes just a legitimate character. SO much like Sensational Sheri. Unlike Sunny or Stacey, shes not just a hot chick to valet. She gets involved, she can talk, she can get serious heat shes got great charisma and an excellent ring presence. She can really get involved in a match and make her clients look good. Her angle with Foley was great. Her work with MNM was fantastic. And the scream is a legitimate trademark. She's also a great womans wrestler and physical presence so she can take on a physical role with intensity in what is a physical environment. She also does splits. ![]() |

Yea, and they gotta make sure to not completely dedicate her to Johnny Nitro for the rest of her career. Often times a managers role is changed, or they just fade off with their protege.
I think she should go on to manage main players. Yes, I actually said it. Managers for main eventers. Why the fuck not? Seems like they're doing everything else they can to make it the 80s We have leprechauns, greasers, boogeymen and Giants running around TV. We have Ultimate Warrior 2.0 and the chain gang getting Hogan pushes. So why not something like that. Melina managing Johnny Nitro in the uppermidcard, or even other main eventers and tag teams later down the road = gold. |

and shes damn over, I love her charisma. I love how she bosses nitro and mercury around and shit. And I thought her promos on Ashley were great.
Like I said, for a valet or a woman's wrestler to actually entertain me a lot other than pleasing my eyes, thats pretty good. |

Dude, you have no clue what you're talking about. Have you even read the thread or the first post? It's not even about wrestling. And secondly, how do you expect to be taken seriously when weighing in on present topics and openly admitting you don't know whats going on, or in other cases don't pay attention to programming? Also, how do you assume by me using the figure of speech that "Melina is the best" that that's literally is what I meant? I meant Melina is awesome in her role and has a lot of potential. Go post in your thread about how the Cena/HBK match has no build although you admit to having notwatched much of Raw lately. |

Uncalled for. What is called for? Another Khali joke thread, or perhaps the umpteenth Batista/Taker discussion. Maybe another Cena bitch rant, or a favorite match or champion poll is called for. Seriously man, its a wrestling forum. It's all called for, or if not, then its all uncalled for. Live with it. Don't post if you don't read the posts. And don't say that a thread thats discussing positive things in a positive way is uncalled for in a sea of negativity. Especially when its not a repetitive and overdone topic. everyone else continue to discuss Melina. |

Yeah, Melina is really fucking awesome. She may not be as great a wrestler as the ladies KillerWolf mentioned, but overall she is a great entertainer.
Most women feel like valets when they are put with a guy; Melina feels like a manager. She seems crucial to their success. They kind of branched her off on SmackDown!, when she kind of became Mark Henry's manager for a bit, as well as keeping her duties with MNM. Maybe she could manage Randy Orton? Young Randy seems like a guy who needs a woman in his corner, and Melina seems like the kind of girl who would let Randy shit on her chest, as well as in her bags. You can then tease jealousy between Nitro and Orton, and then BAM! Nitro turns babyface and feuds with Orton. I'd have her take some clients on SmackDown!, as well. Managers would be better if they were interpromotional. Keep her with Joey Mercury, and maybe have her associate herself with a cruiserweight, as well. I'm thinking Gregory Helms or Chavo Guerrero. Maybe keep Mark Henry with her, as well. I'm hoping Melina holds onto the Women's Championship past WrestleMania. I'd like to see her go through Ashley, Mickie James and then begin a feud with Beth Phoenix. ![]() |

See man, you read. Killerwolf assumes its a wrestling discussion when it's CLEARLY 99.5% related to her out of ring work as a manger/valet and her character. But yea Alienoid she's got those qualities you say about being an actual manager and a crucial part. I'm telling you, think Sensational Sherri. |

Foley's programs are usually exciting just because of his willingness to ignore the glass ceiling. He will work with everyone, and that is when the best results come about.
Remember when Shelton Benjamin used to wrestle Triple H? Remember that classic with Shawn Michaels? If only main eventers weren't so stubborn. |

Of course, it also helps that Johnny Nitro is improving leaps and bounds, has a good image, charisma, ring skills, can fly and has a bright future in the company.

Personally I think TNA would be in a much better place had Mick signed that contract with them.
Seriuosly, his ability to get talent over is severely underrated. Not because of how big a star he is, or how good of a match he can work, but just how good he can make them look. In the buildup and in the end, just look at Orton. I'd even say Mick was the main guy to really get HHH over as a dominant champion in late 99/early 2000. After a few classic bouts and an amazing fued and promo exchange led by Foley. It wasn't about how big of a star Foley was, he was way over but it was about him not just giving the rub but giving it well. In the end it seemed as though Foley who was a lesser star than Austin left a better mark on HHH than even he did. Just like he left a way better rub on Orton than HHH or Taker. But yea, There's no cons to a Foley/Melina/Nitro fued. It's not hurting anything. It's pushing Nitro and Melina and creating 2 potential stars and giving them a huge boost, and it's not at the expense of anything. All it takes is Foley doing the job which he'd prefer to do, and him losing has no bearing on the company. It's not like you're expending or jobbing a main eventer for this project. But yea, Melina would be so key to that fued. |

Face the facts, Melina is the best thing to happen to women's wrestling since Sable. Not comparing her to sable in terms of mic skills and in-ring presence because Melina hands down, but she has got that "it" that the women's division needs. She also needs a good counterpart, which is why a segment with her and Mickie James could be good. Mickie can be good on the mic too, and those two in a fued, tbh, would be more interesting than ECW's title scene and most of Smackdown!'s fueds.

yeah, yeah. i read it. i saw where you were going with it. i really didnt mean to rat-fuck your thread - honestly.
the thing is that while Melina may be the most entertaining diva currently on the roster, the bar is so low right now that being the best doesnt make one worthy of praise. and that's all i meant by saying that this thread was uncalled for. it's like - say you step onto a used car lot, and the dealer says "i'm going to give you a great deal on the best car i have." and you end up getting a great deal on an '86 Corsica. you got the best he had to offer, but that doesnt make it a good car, especially when you consider the next best thing was a '78 Dodge Colt. i've seen her work. i think she's ah-ight. so that is where we have a difference of oppinion. you think that she is in a league of her own, and i think that she is only marginally more entertaining than the rest of the bimbi, and not worthy of much distinction. but christ, dude, i wasnt "blindly hating", and was being serious when i said i didn't wish to give offense. |

As for Women's wrestlers, she's not the best but she's pretty damn good. A worthy women's champion but as I said her strenghts lie more in her managerial role. As for best women's wrestler it's Mickie James and she's got a great character but it's been watered down now and was only within her division. In her case, shes only the best since Trish Stratus, which was only months ago. With Melina, I'm aiming more at the other aspect, in which case shes not only the best currently but great regardless over time and certainly the best in ages. So comparing this discussion of Melina to women's wrestlers would be like comparing the greatness of Jimmy Hart to Ric Flair. Those are different roles. But comparing Melina to Sensational Sherri and other classic female managers is like comparing Angle or HHH to the greats. Not only the best of their current pools, but damn good regardless. |

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. |

Alright, maybe she's gotten better. I haven't seen much of her work since she first got to TNA.
But the fact is that KillerWolf was using her WWE stint (when she was shit), as a comparison, and put her in the same category as Victoria, Jazz, and Molly. That makes him a fool. |
