Melina vs Maria, Raw, 02/26/07

I normally wouldn't bother updating my Mickie blog with other women's matches, but this time I decided to. With this being Melina's first match since stealing the title from Mickie.

Before the match started, Melina was doing a promo, talking about Ashley, which only confirms the paranoia that we really are going to have to sit through an Ashley and Melina match at Wresltemania.

But she also mentions that Mickie has a clause that says she can issue a rematch for her title. So Melina is going to wrestle her next week (Monday, march 5th).

The Match between Melina and Maria wasn't as bad as I thought. Apparently Melina knows how to carry people.


Like I said, the match wasn't totally dead. And it did have some nice action, though you could tell Maria was being carried, and she was a bit sloppy. Though I commend her on her efforts to put on a high action match that was very much away from her original in ring persona (hiding from everybody then getting a cheap roll up pin.)

Melina set the pace and dominated Maria throughout most of the match. Then Maria began to mount some offense near the end. She got on a roll an then went to do that Bronco Buster move where she basically gets her opponent in the corner and then runs, jumps on her and begins humping her.

Melina gets her knee up as Maria is coming down, legs spread wide open... do you see where I'm going with this? Bang! Right in the crotch. Maria grabs herself in pain, Melina then rolls her up for the pin.

The match went like this (click here for an understanding of my point system)
Melina wins by pinfall in 3.24 minutes.

Well, let's see what next week brings for Mickie's rematch.
