We’re still not done mourning the loss of Ariel from Tuesday night’s lineup, but it seems Shelly Martinez is happily moving on and leaving her ECW alter ego behind. Shelly’s site has been updated to include the following diary entry:

I just want to thank all those who fully have supported me through my career both in wrestling and modeling. There are a lot of rad things in store for me so don’t feel bad for my departure with WWE. It was for the best. I’m sure you all have had your concerns on why. All I have to say is I enjoyed my time with WWE and my coworkers in WWE/ECW. No hard feelings. I just am the type to stand up for what I believe in, lets just end it at that. Now I will have more time to dedicate to the site and start the growth of what my fans love to see. Sweet pictures, info on my events and signings all that good stuff. I will always finally update my photo galleries and photos that you can purchase. Again, please don’t feel bad or sorry for me. I am not.
Bloody kisses….xo Shelly

Updated photo galleries … new pics … events and signings - all good news.

Although Shelly has yet to announce this on her site or MySpace blog, it looks like she’ll be making one of her first post-ECW appearances this weekend at Wrestling Reunion V. On Saturday, June 2, 2007, Shelly will be hanging out at the St. Demetrius Banquet Center in Carteret, NJ along with several other wrestling stars, including Kurt Angle, Gail Kim, Diamond Dallas Page, Christy Hemme, Missy Hyatt, and the Iron Sheik.

Official WWE promo photos of Shelly, polaroids, and autographs will be available for purchase. For more info, check out the official Wrestling Reunion site, and stay tuned for all the latest Shelly Martinez news.
