Outlook - Melina Perez was a decent female wrestler out of California, who had great spots and an ethnic look, similar to Gail Kim. She was signed up by the WWE in 2004 and underwent a metamorphisis. After hooking up with Johnny Nito and Joey Matthews (later Joey Mercury) as a Hollywood rockstar act dubbed "MNM." Melina's look has refined to fit the WWE Diva mold and she became a hot, but sinister valet. Although she had some wrestling matches, Melina spent most of her time getting over through her one-of-a-kind entrance, ringside screaming and willingness to cheat for her charges. After debuting in the WWE, Melina quickly began to overshadow Nitro and Mercury. She began wrestling more and physical style has worked wonderfully to supplement her persona. After the departures of Trish Stratus, Lita and Stacy Keibler, she was given the opening to become the main heel diva. Despite the heat she has on herself with her peers, Melina is too over to deny a major position. As long as she remains way over, uninjured and capable in the ring, Melina seems secure in her spot. If the opening to pull her out and leave her out comes up, it may very occur.
