10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Melina
8. Her Brief Romance With Hornswoggle
When in doubt; Hornswoggle.
The Little Bastard was WWE's go to get-out clause when it came to poorly-planned storylines, meaning Vince McMahon's illegitimate son (but not really) often found himself rubbing shoulders with the top stars in WWE. Or rubbing shoulder to hip, maybe. Yes, that's a short joke. Always important to get into the WWE spirit!
That illegitimate son storyline was yet another WWE creative plan gone wrong, and a monster push for Mr. Kennedy eventually became a LOL HORNSWOGGLE HE'S SHORT sham. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Melina took it upon herself to make the most of Hornswoggle's newfound position in the corridors of power. The former MNM manager wanted a shot at the WWE's Women's Championship, and what better way to get that than by seducing the son of the boss?
'Seducing' almost certainly isn't the right word, as the 'relationship' between the two didn't really go beyond Hornswoggle chasing a towel-clad Melina down a corridor and subsequently stripping her under the ring. McMahons gonna McMahon.
WWE's portrayal of its women has come a long way since 2007.
