Now I can talk about WSU. Okay, how does everyone feel about the Melina/Serena match?
Like Gail Kim, I'm a bit worried that Melina has been in the mainstream for so long that she may not expect the type of brutality that Serena can dish out. If she can, if she can put up a great match in the Indies, I think that will prove what Gail was talking about (aka: the E holds back the divas big time).
She has a lot to prove, IMO. I had a lot of expectations when it came to Mickie and Victoria/Tara going to TNA, and to be honest, they didn't really pan out. Mickie's matches haven't really been that much better in TNA than they were in the E, but for a little while, Tara's matches were.
WSU isn't TNA, and Serena will bring it big time if need be. Annie Social found that out at a recent WSU show (and dished it back), so if Melina doesn't live up to the hype, it'll show.
However, I'm WAY more excited about the Wargames match.
I'm interested to see what Melina can actually do in the match, I'm going in with low expectations in the hopes that she can surprise me and pull it out the bag.
I really need to get caught up on my WSU watching I still have the 7 shows from this year to watch.

The problem with spending so much time in the WWE/TNA/mainstream system is that it leaves you totally unprepared for the world outside of it. Melina didn't have much experience before she went to OVW, so her wrestling style is pretty much WWE made. With that being said, she's beyond capable in the ring and can be fierce when she needs to be. She should be able to adjust to the style. I have confidence in the match, and hopefully it goes well. She really does have a lot to prove, especially considering how much flak she gets.
Speaking of Annie Social, what's the general consensus on her so far? I haven't seen much of her work and I haven't heard much, good or bad, about her. How good (or bad) is she?

Have fun watching wrestling. 'Cause wrestling is fun.
When is that match gonna happen? I fully expect Melina to do well in that match and hold her own. Hopefully she doesn't have any ring rust.
The match is happening on the IPPV Breaking Barriers 2.
About ring rust. I've heard of people coming back from years of retirement and being a-ok, if not better. Acutally, that happened like two weeks ago with Tiana Ringer.
It matters what Melina has been doing post-release.

I'm a fan of Annie Social.
For someone who got their start via mud, oil, and nude wrestling, she's much better than people would expect. She's not the most athletic wrestler, but a good worker, fun on the mic, and is pretty charismatic.
For the most part, she's a perennial mid-carder/tag wrestler. So like a tier below the Nikki Roxx upper-mid carder, sometimes main eventer tier.
