It’s one of the most unique entrances in wrestling, even dubbed by Tazz as “the best entrance in the history of sports entertainment”. From 2004 to the present day, it’s gone through various incarnations, but all never cease to amaze the crowds - from the whilstling, the cheers - to even the jeers when she declines to perform it. It’s certainly brought on a life of its own, and when’s the last time you could say that about a ring entrance? Melina, in the quote below, explains how the idea for it came to be:

“It’s funny how I came up with my entrance. I think first off, I can do the splits, and everyone would say ‘You need to use that. You need to put that in as a move or something.’ and then when I started coming out with Johnny Nitro in OVW, him and my friend Seth Skyfire kept telling me ‘You know, you’ve got to do something sexy. You’ve got to have a ring entrance that’s sexy. So there’s two guys showing me how to do a sexy entrance. And it was funny, because they’d stroke the ropes and do this and that, and it just wasn’t enough for me, and then I went up to the apron and said, ‘How about this?’ and I just did it. It’s weird to say, but I just did it. And they were like, ‘That’s money.’ “
