Hey everyone!!
Well, I must say that the first week of shellymartinez.com was a success!! I cannot wait for the upcoming weeks. Me and the shellymartinez.com web team will share some more cool footage, photos and tonight I will be installing my video cam so we can have weekly video chats. If all goes well Friday we shall have our first video chat!! Let's all cross our fingers!! Now on to my blog....
So this week was a pretty cool week. For the most part it was chill which is always nice to soak in :) I recently got to tell my bf the tale of two powerful souls butting heads then become very fond of each other. I want to take this time to give totally props to the one, the only, Paul Heyman. I always was intrigued with Paul. When I finally got to meet him in WWE's Louisville developmental I couldn't have been more stoked. I got to work with Heyman first hand while in Louisville. He is a creative genius!! In time we started butting heads. I have never been one to stifle myself and I remember after a while people saying "you can't question Heyman like that." I always thought that if you question things or situations that you do not comprehend you gain knowledge. Knowledge is power and I wanted to empower myself so I wasn't afraid. Heyman then started questioning my abilities in the ring and such and I would just bite my tongue. I mean we always can learn more but at the time I had already had 7 years experience of wrestling. There was one time in particular Heyman was walking me, Aron Stevens and Beth Phoenix around the ring before a show to go over where we should be placed. When Heyman would turn his back to us I would put my arms out and waddle with one hand hold my hair in a pony tail forcing it to go back and forth like his did. People were trying to keep their laughs to themselves. Paul would turn around and I would quickly stop what I was doing lol later when I told this story my friend told me "Shelly, you were being Lucy!!" in reference to me being totally obsessed with I Love Lucy. Anywho, then more time came and I was growing on Paul and he on me (secretly). I then took me being a creep and totally pushing the envelope to the next level. When I would get hurt or frustrated with Paul I would push him up against the wall in front of everyone in the back and hold his throat saying "what, what was that, you like that don't you, you like it" Al Snow would be dying of laughter.
Finally the day came. The day I will never forget. The day I became a fungus!! After every OVW show we would have a meeting to discuss briefly how the show was, what could've been better, etc. and I had been impressing Heyman with my work and he said in front of everyone "you know, I have to say Shelly Martinez you have really stepped it up. That camera loves you. You have really grown on me like a fungus. You are my California fungus." Since then I developed a special relationship with Paul, he is my Rabbi!! I will always have his back and no matter what anyone says I know he would have mine. It's funny, he and I ended up being a lot a like. I have learned a lot from my rabbi and have a special place in my heart for him. He is one of the few people I remain in contact with in my life after WWE. Funny how life works huh, the man who at one point hated me and was open about how he disliked me ended up being a true friend in life.
My heart truly goes out to Paul Heyman and his family right now. When you lose a loved one, it's expected but yet it can still hit us and we find ourselves not ready. I am honored that I met and got to know Paul Heyman on a personal level and I just want to send good vibes out to the universe so that they may find Paul and his family and become a blanket of comfort to them at this time.
Be sure to visit the site through out the week!! We will have more updated, cuz duh it only Monday!!
xo
God Bless

You cannot achieve success without the risk of failure. And I learned a long time ago you cannot achieve success if you fear failure. If you’re not afraid to fail…man, you’ll have the chance to succeed. But you’re never going to get there unless you risk it all the way. I was a failure. Sometimes half the fun is failing! Learning from your mistakes, waking up the next morning and saying ‘Okay…watch out, here I come again! A little bit smarter, licking my wounds and really not looking forward to getting my ass kicked the way I just did yesterday. So now, I’m just a little more dangerous.’” -Paul Heyman
