Anyone who reads this blog on a regular basis knows that we’re huge Shelly Martinez fans. Yes, she’s hot, but more than that, it’s fun to watch her wrestle. So why is Shelly’s ECW persona Ariel stuck shrieking at ringside every week as Kevin Thorn throws his pasty bulk around the ring?

We want to see Shelly the way she was when she was working the indy wrestling scene, back when they actually let her wrestle. And while they’re at it, the powers-that-be at ECW might want to do a little more with Kelly Kelly, Layla, and Brooke - the weekly dance routine is getting old fast.
