Melina who is also a former two times WWE Divas Champion recently spoke to the Asylum Wrestling Store where she talked about how wrestling has changed and she was not ready to adapt the recent change. She said;
“It’s in me but it’s not (Melina responded to the idea of not having the in-ring ‘bug’ anymore). I think wrestling has changed now and it’s not that I don’t — I can’t adapt. I guess it’s I don’t want to adapt. I love storylines and characters and details and all this stuff and I was blessed that WWE allowed me to invoke these moments for me.
“That’s a time, I don’t think, unless you’re in a — I don’t know. You’re connected to somebody and — the politics. I guess I’m not great with the politics where I don’t have an ‘in’ to have somebody write these things and help me create together but every time I do something and the story or character just is so weak, it depresses me. It makes me think, this is not the wrestling I know and love and it makes me hate working, because I want magic, I wanna do this, I wanna do that, all of it and it just makes me sad.”
