do you not for a second consider the absolute lack of logic there is in such claims? on so many levels it is just ridiculous. If that was the cause of her release, not only could she take Batista to court on the grounds of sexual harassment and the WWE on Unfair dismissal charges but also think of the absolute PR nightmare it would kick up for the 'E, they would have to be absolute failtards to let her go if such an incident transpired, it wouldbe a public and financial raping. Probably then she would have been blackballed as a trouble maker and no promoter would ever want to work with her again...i guess it doesnt matter now shes trying to act

Sandman states in his shoot interview that Shelly Martinez was a real bitch and had a very nasty attitude problem which led to her being canned. I choose to take the side of the one I really want to snork

I tend to believe the 'sexual harassment' thing is a lie because she would have sued WWE and Batista. Any sane person would have.
It was prob attitude issues or she offended Batista.

I still love the pic of her giving the finger to the Batista figure.

I think she farted in Batista's face.

She wouldn't go ass to mouth, thus infuriating the Animal

He wanted to bang her in the locker room in front of the guys. Shelly told him that while it was permitted, it wasn't allowed. He complained, she's gone.

I also like the story of her giving head, but forgetting he had the vampire fangs on.

Yeah. However, there is still the chance(good chance) the WWE and their lawyers can get away with it and then blackball her. Not saying i believe that happened. I do believe she had some nuclear heatz with a lot of the boys backstage. If it was sexual harrasment, being a crappy date or a rude bitch is unknown.

I'm inclined to believe the bad attitude rumors. TNA didn't seem too interested in keeping her either.

WWE has lots of lawyers that would make Shelley's life (and the life of anyone who has a beef with the company) an expensive hell that they could never afford. That's usually the reason most of these "he said/she said/oh by the way he's backed up by a corporation with lots of money" things don't result in lawsuits.

Why have I got a disturbing image of Batista using that stance during said story of Shelly Martinez?

I actually heard a slightly different version of the sexual harassment story. What I heard was that Shelly was backstage watching a diva's match when Big Dave walked by and commented on how useless the diva's are and that the matches were a waste of time. Shelly got into his face about it, and a few days later she had no job.
Not sure how much of this I believe. I certainly believe she did get fired for having arguments backstage, because plenty of people have gotten fired for this before. But I am not going to take sides here. Batista has a bit of a rep for a swelled ego, its true. But I can also buy into Shelley having an attitude problem herself. Probably a little bit of both. That, and a WWE talent department that is always happy to trim a little extra fat off.
Just for the record, I want to state that I am a fan of Shelley, but she was not a huge loss for the company. The only controversy is that she disappeared of television rather inexplicably, and all we've had to explain it is rumors. She was not really talented in the ring, really only good for adding another warm body to tag matches and battle royals. But she had a unique look, and played her character to the hilt. And she did what a heel manager, man or woman, is supposed to do. When the matches got boring, she kept things lively, and when a good heel pop was needed, she would help provide. Nuff said.

Stories like this are another reason Vince and Co will fight forever to keep wrestlers as independent contractors as it will mitigate their responsibility in these situations.

However, there is still the chance(good chance) the WWE and their lawyers can get away with it and then blackball her. Yup. Even if she were to file a sexual harassment lawsuit and had solid evidence supporting her case, the WWE lawyers would simply drag it out until she did not have the ability to pay her lawyers any more, and the case would be dropped.

And the fact that it would have been a PR nightmare for them to try to wouldn't exactly make it conducive of them to drag out to that point. They'd be more likely to keep it quick. She'd have a lot better case than Nicole Bass. I've never heard the harassment story until that post, I heard the other, that Batista was badmouthing a Diva's match and that she got in his face. I don't recall the other one even being mentioned.
