Former WWE Diva Melina - Melina Perez

Considered to have "perhaps the most impressive arsenal of offensive maneuvers in Diva history", Melina Perez was a WWE Diva from 2004 to 2011.
Well in 2004 she was actually in the WWE's former developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), but I'm counting that.
Before Melina was in the WWE, she was on the Indy circuit, wrestling for promotions like Empire Wrestling Federation, where she was said to be one of the best female wrestlers they ever had.

After being released from the WWE in 2011, Melina went back to her roots and has worked for wrestling promotions such as Women Superstars Uncensored, Lucha Libre USA (LLUSA), World Wrestling Fan Xperience (WWFX), Family Wrestling Entertainment and World Wrestling Council's (WWC).

How good is Melina?
Well Michelle McCool said in an interview that:
"We got in trouble for our match at Night of Champions. We got in trouble for our match being quote-on-quote "too good... for girls."

I always wished they would have pushed Melina's submission wrestling angle a bit more in the WWE.
Okay...I REALLY wanted to see an "I Quit Match" with Melina and Gail Kim.
But barring Melina going to TNA...I dont guess I'll ever get to see that happen....

Female Wrestlers Before They Were Stars, Part 1

Many women from the Indy ranks have made it into the "bigtime", the WWE and TNA.
So lets look at some Divas and Knockouts that got to where they are today the hard way.....

First up, the Divas of WWE, Raw, Smackdown and ECW.
Out of about 17 female wrestlers, I only found 7 with real wrestling cred.


Beth Phoenix
Besides being a varsity wrestler in high school (Beth was the North-East Wrestling Women's Champion (72 kg weight class) and the New York State Fair Women's Champion (72 kg weight class) in 1999) , Beth worked for Far North Wrestling, GLORY Wrestling, Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling (C.A.P.W) and Shimmer Women Athletes.
I'm not counting Ohio Valley Wrestling here though maybe I should.


Gail Kim
Before the WWE, TNA and the WWE again, Gail worked for Apocalypse Wrestling Federation (she wrestled there masked as La Felina, Queen of the Cats and lost her mask to Traci Brooks)


Jillian Hall
Before the WWE, Jillian had a really good career in the Indys.
As Macaela Mercedes she wrestled for Blue Water Championship Wrestling, Canadian International Wrestling, GLORY Wrestling, Hoosier Pro Wrestling, Mid–States Championship Wrestling, Professional Girl Wrestling Association, Southern States Wrestling, Superstar Wrestling Federation and Women's Wrestling Alliance.
On theWWE she sings...badly.
Go figure.


Mickie James
As Alexis Laree she wrestled for CyberSpace Wrestling Federation, Delaware Championship Wrestling, Impact Championship Wrestling, Premier Wrestling Federation, Southern Championship Wrestling, Ultimate Championship Wrestling and Ultimate Wrestling Federation.


Melina
Melina Perez worked for Empire Wrestling Federation as "Kyra" (EWF officials said that she had the most natural ability of any woman who came through their school), Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) and I really think she worked for more, but I cant find any proof of that right now.


Natalya
Natalie "Nattie" Katherine Neidhart, the first third-generation female wrestler in the world, wrestled for Stampede Wrestling, NWA: Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, Prairie Wrestling Alliance, Great Canadian Wrestling, Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF), AAW Wrestling, Shimmer Women Athletes and she toured the UK and Japan.


Katie Lea Burchill
Katarina Waters had a really good career going in the UK, working for promotions like Trans-Atlantic Wrestling, Queens of Chaos, Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA), NAWA (in Germany), German Stampede Wrestling (GSW) and Shimmer Women Athletes.
Now she's pretty much just a valet.
