Less than a year after Shelly Martinez made her TNA debut at Bound for Glory, her character Salinas is being laid to rest.

During the No Surrender pay-per-view on Sunday, it was announced by Mike Tenay that Salinas had been taken to the hospital after being attacked by Jacqueline in the women’s bathroom. That was reportedly the end of the Salinas character, and unsurprisingly, her profile has already been deleted from TNAwrestling.com.

So, what’s the deal? On Sunday Shelly wrote on her MySpace blog that she was set to begin filming an”Italian inspired thriller” today. Rumor has it that she was willing to turn down the film role if TNA agreed to increase her compensation. TNA declined to raise the junior Knockout’s pay, and the rest is history. Here’s what Shelly had to say on her blog:

Anywho, this blog is about choices. Sometimes in life you find yourself saying “I have no choice” and you follow your heart even if it seems at the time your heart may be breaking when you do follow your heart and commit to it. I made a big decision recently and when it is time to talk about it I promise I will have a follow up blog explaining. I care about all my fans and appreciate your support. On a good note, when you find it’s time to close a door another door (weather you looking or not) opens right up and I’ve peaked inside and decided to open it and walk right in LOL

Starting tomorrow I will be begin to film an Italian inspired thriller. I had rehearsal yesterday and my costar and I have great chemistry together so it will be grand!! YAY!! I am working on having my camera guy shoot some behind the scene for my new site!! Yes, I am disappointed to lose something important to me for this role but at the same time change, scary change, always seems to lead to bigger and better things. I will keep you all posted, until then remember no matter what 5150 LAX por vida!!!!

Shelly followed up with another message today:

LAX por vida!!

I have posted a video clip that means a lot to me right now on my page under the “general” section. Mi familia means the most to me, without them I would be who I am today. Through thick and thin and the end of the day it comes down to familia. Sometimes your homies become your familia and you would do anything for them and always have their back and they in return will always have yours. In conclusion LAX is part of my familia for life. LAX is the new Vatos Locos!! Vatos Locos forever!! As Ice T put it, “My game aint knowledge my games fear, I have no remorse so squares BEWARE!!”

We’ll keep an eye on this developing story, and will let you know the details of Shelly’s new film when they emerge.
