Outlook - Shelly Martinez, like so many of the ladies that dabble in pro-wrestling, has had numerous projects going on for years. She has been a model with a distinct look for many years her personas while modeling have translated well into pro-wrestling. She has played a gothic sex kitten, an Egyptian queen, a tarot card reader, a vampire and currently she is playing up her Latina roots in LAX. Martinez has been a model who can wrestle some like a large number of ladies these days. While not a good worker, she understands her role and is typically effective. As Ariel in the WWE, she certainly stood out in the crowd, but being the valet for such a limited talent ultimately killed her career there. Shelly used her fame from that WWE run to get a spot on a reality show, a regular gig in TNA and even did some softcore pornography. In a world where many women look dull or act dull, Shelly Martinez is that distinct talent and personality that could become so much more than she has thus far in a career that is nearly a decade along.
