Melina Perez
From Freepedia
Melina Perez, better known simply as Melina is an American professional wrestler, currently working for World Wrestling Entertainment. She serves as a manager for MNM.
Melina's ring entrance is an incredible display of her flexibility. Standing beside the ring, she will lift her right leg onto the apron, then her left leg (at this point she is doing a split on the apron), then bend her upper body under the bottom rope.
Career
Melina made her WWE debut as a guest RAW Diva during Randy Orton's "Diva Lingerie" Contest, She later appeared on RAW, taking part in a game of Limbo along with Stacy Keibler, Maria, Candice Michelle and Christy Hemme.
Perez debuted as a heel on SmackDown! on April 14, 2005 along with Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury, with whom she forms the group MNM. After leading Nitro and Mercury to the WWE Tag Team Championships, she began a feud with Michelle McCool after assaulting McCool's friend Heidenreich with the assistance of Nitro and Mercury. The following week on SmackDown! Melina went on to win her first match in the WWE after using the ropes for leverage on a pin against McCool, and she would then make Nitro and Mercury deliver their "Snapshot" (Flapjack DDT) on to the fallen McCool.

The pair would finally meet in the ring at The Great American Bash in a Bra and Panties match, which Melina won. That same week saw the debut of MNM's new publicist, Jillian, who has a large growth on the left side of her face. Melina that same night would on go on to defeat Torrie in a rematch, and while Melina celebrated her victory Jillian took out Candice who accompanied Torrie to the ring.
Melina and Jillian next seemingly moved on to cause trouble for WWE Diva and wife of Booker T, Sharmell. Jillian quickly moved on from MNM, leaving Melina to manage her tag team once again.
Melina would go on to begin feuding with Christy Hemme, during a match between the divas Melina would be aided by Mercury and Nitro in gaining a victory over Hemme. After the match Mercury and Nitro would set Hemme up for their Snapshot finishing move, but the Legion of Doom 2005 made the save for Hemme, setting up a match at WWE No Mercy where MNM would face LOD & Hemme in an intergender 6-person tag match. A week later, MNM attacked Christy and the LOD during a match. Melina called for the Snapshot on Christy and they nailed it!
At WWE No Mercy, MNM (Melina's first loss) was defeated by LOD and Christy, when Christy hit the Doomsday Device on Melina.
