Former WWE Diva Katie Lea (real name Katarina Waters), who was released back in April, recently had an audio interview with women’s wrestling site Diva-Dirt.com. Thanks for MelinaHQ.org, here is a written translation of what she had to say:

Jennifer (DD): Going back to when you were transitioning to the WWE, was there anybody on the roster that you didn’t get to work with, that you would have liked to do a feud or storyline with?

KW: I don’t know, let me think. Well, actually a few! I mean, I would have liked to have a feud with maybe Gail or Eve, you know? Someone like that. I always enjoyed working with Alicia Fox too, you know? When she was on ECW, when she first started on ECW, It would have been nice to maybe have a little thing going on between us, rather than just the couple of matches that we had.

Eric (DD): How was that on ECW? Because I noticed that happened a little bit, where you would get a match with a girl, and then they would kinda drop it. Are there any other matches that you wished could have developed there? Or feuds besides Alicia Fox?

KW: On ECW specifically?

Eric (DD): Or in General.

KW: Well on ECW, there was never really a lot of girls, I mean really after I answered that question, a whole bunch of other names popped into my head, Melina is an obvious one. We had a few matches on a houseshow loop one time, we worked together real great, so that would have been great obviously.

According to multiple sources, plans for a Melina and John Morrison vs. Maryse and Ted DiBiase feud have been scrapped however, WWE may decide to go forward with it after the summer.

Sorry I’m a little late in posting this, but Mattel have released their NEW Melina action figure! And unfortunately, the release comes with disappointment! Not only does Melina hardly look like herself, but she is also wearing an attire that I sure haven’t seen, and is hardly in proportion to the real Melina we all know and love! Sigh. However, if you would still like to buy the action figure click one of the related links below. Over at RedHotDivas.com they have also posted a few photos of Melina’s figure, which you can check out by clicking below also.

Former WWE Diva and 7-time Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus had an interview with The Wrestler magazine and had the following to say about Melina:

On the “next” Trish: “When I saw Melina debut with M-N-M, I remember thinking that was the new T&A. But she was so much sexier than me, when she came in with that split! I was like, ‘Damn, that is hot!’”

You were heavily involved in the previous generation of Divas, and then you were still around for the newer stars such as Mickie James & Melina. Who were some of the women you thought had a lot of progress?
Melina reminded me of myself because she started as a valet, which gave her the time to develop her character and transition to wrestling. When I saw Melina debut with MNM, I remember thinking that was the new T&A. But she was much sexier than me, when she came in with that split! I was like “Damn, that is hot!”

From T&A to MNM- they didn’t go far did they?
I’ve been waiting for Melina to develop, and I have no doubt that she will- but she’s had back luck along the way. Just as her momentum gets going, injuries take her out. She’s called me for advice and visited me in Toronto a couple of times, and we’ve done yoga together. If you’ve noticed, she’s integrated the Ma-Trish – my back-bridge ducking maneuver- into her repertoire. I derived that from my yoga.

If you could tell yourself one thing in high school, what would it be?
I’d have an entire sit down with myself to help me understand life. –Keep loving with all of your heart because that is what makes you who you are but don’t depend on anyone to love you the way you love the world. One day it will come, but your heart will break each time you expect that love and it is never given to you. Don’t change your soul at all because you will touch many people’s lives with it, just change how you handle situations that arise. I know you dreamed of a one true love but sometimes it takes awhile to find him so don’t give up … you are stronger than you think and you can be strong on your own. One more thing, don’t let anyone take away your happiness. You deserve to smile.
