10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Melina

6. An Old Blog Feud With Mickie James

Blogs; remember them? Social media is full of frustratingly attractive people who describe themselves as bloggers, but the days of angsty people penning grammatically distraught missives are long gone. Social media has replaced the humble blog, for star and fan alike.

Melina had her own blog back in the day and she most famously used this platform to attack Mickie James, a frantic one full of issues from their OVW days. The blog post was lengthy, to say the least, ticking fairly humdrum boxes such as professional jealousy and accusations of plagiarism. To quote;

"I could care less about what SHE does but she made it a point everyday to purposely hurt me. To go out of her way to say things. To steal moves that I have and use it on ovw tv knowing that my character can't wrestle but hers can... by spreading rumors about me. By talking behind my back to people.... OMG! I thought I was done with all that in high school! Why would a person go to all that trouble? Wouldn't it be easier to just do your job and be happy with your life? Of course I'm not going to think fondly of her. Not only was she not so cool with me but she treats my best friend the way and she BADLY hurt someone I love repeatedly knowing what she was doing.

I was so happy to go to Smackdown. To not have to deal with the high school drama. I thought her fixation on me would die but she continues to ATTEMPT to dress like me. She would even try say certain phrases I would say. She would try to do my entrance in class everyday. And the weirdest thing is that no one said anything about it."

The blog goes on and on before coming to a biting end, complete with out of nowhere capitalisation. Mickie and Melina made up in the years after the 2005 blog, much to the delight of all involved.
