MALINA
Melina and I had become pretty good friends, close physically since my divorce as well as emotionally. But when she and i first started working together, i didnt like her much. I don't think she liked me very much either.
I think a lot of people dont realize that by nature i'm very quiet guy. They think if i dont start chitchatting with them, i somehow dont like them. Theres some situations where t'm really just shy, especially with women . Thats just not in some peoples nature--some guys could have a converstion with a lamppost and make it interesting. So they dont really understand where i'm coming from.
On the other hand, i also have a bit of an atitude toward people new in the business. I think they should be very humble, very respective to the people who have been in the company for awhile.
While i think happened between Melina and me was, because of our separate perspectives, there was a misunderstanding. She's very friendly and thinks that anyone who doesnt talk to her somehow doesnt like her. And one day after she'd started working with MNM, she came up to me and started crying. She said she didnt know why i didnt like her. It absolutly broke my heart. The difference in our personalities had gotten in the way.
I think thats something that happened not just in wreslting. A lot of times people dont take the time or make the effort to understand where someone else is coming from. the truth is, I hadnt taken the time to know who melina was. She comes across as this evil vixen on televison. That's her character. But in real life, she's really very sweet. She's very mild-mannered.
Women in wreslting have a hard time being accepted, but many have really worked hard to get where they are. Yes, there are girls get into wreslting because of contests and are chosen primarily because of their looks. But what i've seen, the ones who really advance and stick around, the real divas, put an incredible amount of work into what they do.
In Melina's case, She trained with an old-timer named jesse hernandez and learned how to work before she joined the company. She really knows the psychology of the business. You can sit down with her and talk for hours about story telling, and she just gets it.
My wife thought i was sleeping with melina right off the bat, while we were still married. It wasn't true, but it did make me feel guilty about being friends with her.
Since then, as I've said, Melina and I have gotten closer and closer and our relationship has become physical. Thats caused a bit of controversy, but i dont give a shit. She's my friend, and i love her very much."
Now before people say he slept with malina while married, he didnt. He started seeing her during 2005.
