Shelly Martinez - Sexy ECW Diva Ariel













ECW brand


When the ECW brand was launched Martinez joined on as Ariel, a tarot reading fortune teller. She was joined by Kevin Thorn, a vampire character who had previously been seen stalking ECW arenas, and announced that she "saw a future that held blood" followed by Thorn spitting blood at the camera. From there, she began acting as a valet for Thorn, joining him at ringside for his matches and kissing him during them. On September 19, she got into her first ECW catfight, rumbling with Francine who'd accompanied Balls Mahoney to ringside for a match against Thorn. Ariel made her (ECW) in-ring debut against Francine on September 26 in an "Extreme Catfight", which went to a no-contest due to interference from both Thorn and Mahoney. The building feud was soon dropped when Francine was released from WWE just weeks later. When the ECW brand held its first pay per view, December to Dismember, Ariel and Thorn defeated Kelly Kelly and Mike Knox in a mixed tag team match. The next Tuesday on ECW, Ariel lost to Kelly in a one on one match when Kelly surprised her with a rollup. This would be her final wrestling match. In February 2007, Ariel along with Kevin Thorn joined the New Breed stable and engaged in a feud with their ECW Original foes. On the May 1, 2007 edition of ECW on Sci-Fi, Kevin Thorn and Ariel quit from The New Breed after Elijah Burke yelled at them for losing to CM Punk earlier in the night.

On May 18, 2007 Martinez was released from her WWE contract.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2007-2008)


At Bound for Glory, Shelly participated in a Knockout Gauntlet battle royal to crown the first TNA Knockout Champion. Shortly afterwards, Martinez began to appear as a masked member of The Latin American Xchange (LAX), interfering in their matches to help them gain victories leading to an issue with The Rock 'n Rave Infection's valet Christy Hemme, who believed she was a man attacking women, an infraction in TNA. At Final Resolution, however, Martinez unveiled herself after attacking Hemme again, clearing up a possible man-on-woman violence issue. On the following edition of Impact!, Homicide and Hernandez gave her the name Salinas- likely a reference to TNA president Dixie Carter's husband Serg Salinas. She made her in ring debut as Salinas in a one on one match against Awesome Kong and lost after a sitting powerbomb.

Salinas participated at Lockdown in the first ever "Queen of the Cage" match, which was won by Roxxi Laveaux. She then participated at Sacrifice in the first ever Knockouts "Makeover Battle Royal", which was won by Gail Kim. A few weeks later Salinas lost a match against Awesome Kong and after the match she was doubled teamed by Awesome Kong, Velvet Sky and Angelina Love.

At No Surrender Salinas was attacked off camera by Jacqueline in the bathroom and was sent to the hospital. In reality Martinez had stated on her official website that she had quit TNA to shoot for an Italian thriller movie.
