If anyone catches the show, be sure to let us know how it was.

You’ve gotten used to seeing the Ariel vampire shtick on ECW every week. But as we’ve mentioned before, Shelly Martinez is way more fun to watch in the ring. Whether she wins or loses a match, she knows how to make it exciting and memorable. In fact, even when Shelly loses, you come away feeling like she kicked some serious ass.

Check out Shelly Martinez as Cle-Ho-Patra in this WEW 20 PPV match against April Hunter:

You can really tell Shelly Martinez is a pro in this OVW match against Sosay. Watch for the electric chair move about half way through:

And finally, another OVW match pitting Shelly Martinez against Beth Phoenix:

So there you have it: 3 crystal clear examples of why the WWE writers need to get Shelly back into the ring. Instead, the powers-that-be at the WWE prefer to have photographers shoot posed photos of her as if she’s a life sized dark and gothic Barbie Doll:

Shelly’s ringside antics and Daily Diva photos are great and all, but her real talent is being wasted at ringside.

Francine Fournier has repeatedly stated her intentions to focus on her upcoming marriage and starting a family, but she just can’t seem to stay away from professional wrestling. Once again, the Women’s Extreme Wrestling promotion has managed to lure Francine out of semi-retirement.

Francine hasn’t made an official announcement yet, but according to the WEW’s “Official UnOfficial Line-Up,” Francine will be part of the live Cinco FN DeMayo event in Philadelphia on May 5, 2007.

If you want to know more about what goes on at Women’s Extreme Wrestling shows, there’s no better way than to grab yourself a copy of Night of Erotic Insanity. The 2006 DVD features Queen of Extreme Francine, as well as some of our other favorites, including Hardcore Schoolgirl Tara Bush.

If you can’t wait until May to get your Francine fix, she will be appearing at the Valley Vista Mall in Harlingen, Texas this Saturday. Get out there and show your support between 6pm and 8pm.
