Melina recently took part in a virtual signing with the Asylum Wrestling Store where she spoke about a number of pro wrestling related topics.
Among them, the women’s wrestling star and WWE veteran spoke about how the wrestling business has changed over the years, as well as how she’s not sure she wants to adapt.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On how she doesn’t have the bug anymore because of how wrestling has changed: “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.”
On how she feels like storytelling is the most important part of the sport: “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.”
