While on twitter a few nights ago, I decided to send Chille and Natalya a tweet and ask their opinions on our favorite WWE Diva and they had this to say.

Natalya: ‘Melina is awesome!!!!! Flying spider monkey:)’

And then when I asked Chille if she and Melina were friends she had this to say:

Chille: ‘no but i’ve met her…seems really cool.”

It’s nice to get feedback from stars on Melina. It just goes to show what a wonderful person she is. I won’t lie, I LOVED Natties reply. It was funny and true.

You were heavily involved in the previous generation of Divas, and then you were still around for the newer stars such as Mickie James & Melina. Who were some of the women you thought had a lot of progress?
Melina reminded me of myself because she started as a valet, which gave her the time to develop her character and transition to wrestling. When I saw Melina debut with MNM, I remember thinking that was the new T&A. But she was much sexier than me, when she came in with that split! I was like “Damn, that is hot!”
From T&A to MNM- they didn’t go far did they?
I’ve been waiting for Melina to develop, and I have no doubt that she will- but she’s had back luck along the way. Just as her momentum gets going, injuries take her out. She’s called me for advice and visited me in Toronto a couple of times, and we’ve done yoga together. If you’ve noticed, she’s integrated the Ma-Trish – my back-bridge ducking maneuver- into her repertoire. I derived that from my yoga.

As Robbie said in a previous update, it’s great to here comments from Trish praising Melina. It is sad to say it’s true when Trish said when Melina gains momentum, she gets injured, but the A List Diva will be back soon kicking butt!

Former WWE Diva amd 7 Time Womens Champ Trish Stratus had this to say about Melina in an interview with The Wrestler/Inside Wrestling Magazine.

On the “next” Trish: “When I saw Melina debut with M-N-M, I remember thinking that was the new T&A. But she was so much sexier than me, when she came in with that split! I was like, ‘Damn, that is hot!’.

It’s not hard to believe that someone as great as Trish would recognize Melina as the star that she is. Melina has made a huge mark on the wrestling world for legends like Trish Stratus and Bret Hart to praise her. Shirlz- upon reading this, I was very happy that Melina sees what us in the MeliNation have seen since her debut in WWE. If Melina can have similar success in WWE that Trish had, we can all be happy.

We broke the news this past weekend that Melina has been listed to appear in a movie called Serial Buddies alongside past RAW guest host, Maria Menounos. Well with thanks to Robbie Gaga on Twitter, Melina gave us word that she was supposed to be in the movie, but like other projects from other Divas, was rejected by WWE. This is a real shame because I would have loved to have seen Melina in a role out of WWE, but I’m guessing the Stacy Keibler Syndrome is kicking in again.

WWE Diva Melina’s scheduled return to the ring from her ACL tear has been pushed back as she’s been ordered to undergo another two months of rehabilitation before she will be cleared for a WWE return. That puts her at a scheduled return in mid-late July, a month behind the original expectations.

MELINA’S TWEET:
I can’t wait to go! Two things I’ve been wanting to do this year, one is Comic-con and the other I will tweet about over the weekend! Wooooo! I am so excited!!! Look forward to see you! It will be so much fun!
WWE SCHEDULE:
Saturday, July 24 11:00 AM – Noon PT
San Diego Comic-Con International, San Diego, Calif.

Come meet WWE Superstars Chris Masters and Melina as they appear for Mattel at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International.

I’m really looking forward to hearing the other event Melina is planning on doing! Stay tuned to MU to find out!
