A big Thank You to Steve Davison for taking the time on this article. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years, but I’m not through yet!!!!

Disclaimer: A big thank you for all involved in this article, first for taking time out to answer a question (or two); Dave Prazak, Allison Danger and LuFisto. Also a special thanks to Jeff D Gorman for the editing (help pre-posting) and to contributions from fans.

Change, a lot of change happens over a decade. Men walk on the moon, a tiny cube made up of little coloured squares takes over pop culture and in the nineties we got Springer. But also in the nineties we were given the in ring exploits of Melissa Anderson.

No? Maybe you know her by…Alissa Flash? Still nothing?

Raisha Saeed, Cheerleader Melissa, or even Wildfire? If the answer is still no, then let this piece take you through a decade of dominance: the story of the future legend………

Feuds From The Vault – from DivaDirt« steved

Cheerleader Melissa — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:57:18 +0000

After watching allot of wrestling in my free time as usual, I had an idea for a blog/article: Feuds From The Vault. I will continue to write articles about feuds that have impressed me during my many years of watching professional wrestling.

The first that sprung to mind was the unrivaled feud between Cheerleader Melissa and MsChif back in the early days of Shimmer.

Back in 2005 the first milestone in Shimmers history occured with the very first taping of its DVD series but more importantly it was the stage and essentially the first match in the Melissa/ MsChif feud. The two locked up (pardon the pun) in an awesome showing at that event. The spot that was a microcosm for the feud happened when they took the action to the outside and Melissa had MsChif twisted around the guard rail which I’d never seen two women do and kudos to MsChif for putting the move over extremely well. Throughout a …….

Diva Dirt • TNA has a Flash of brilliance

Cheerleader Melissa — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 05:24:09 +0000

Thank you Steve for the nice write-up…..

After this week’s edition of TNA Impact, the name Alissa Flash is surely on everyone’s lips. Alissa opened eyes and got the fans on their feet in her TNA debut. An event years in the making, it made me cast my mind back to the first time I laid eyes on this surly competitor.

I’ll be the first to admit that four years ago Cheerleader Melissa, real name Melissa Anderson, was an absolute mystery to me. Raised off the glitz and glamour that is the WWE, I was completely oblivious to the independent circuit. I had no idea what kind of treasures were hidden in the small, virtually unknown promotions littering the country. However, all this changed when I laid eyes on what was soon to become the most watched DVD in my collection: SHIMMER Women Athletes Volume 1.

As I read the match listing, one name in particular caught my eye: Cheerleader Melissa. I immediately thought the worst of the situation. No doubt it was just another lame, cliche and mildly offensive gimmick that would serve no greater purpose than to give the crowd a rise. After years of being force-fed that kind of crap, the mere thought made my eyes roll. Oh, how wrong I was.

R.I.P Princess Jasmine

Cheerleader Melissa — Fri, 08 May 2009 23:39:23 +0000

Cynthia Johnson better known as Princess Jasmine passed away this morning at 7:45 am. Jasmine was a CAC member and was honored this year at the annual reunion. Jasmine had battled cancer for a good while and was unable to attend this years reunion. Her award was fed-ex over night to her following the reunion.

Jasmine was well known in the wrestling world. She had worked for the AWA,NWA,WCW,WWF and tons of Independent promoters. Had feuds in the Caribbean’s, Japan, Africa, the Philippines, Korea, Middle East, and all over the United States & Canada. Trained by Prince Pullins and Dick the Bruiser in 1968, her first match was just three months after training.

More information will be added to the cac website as soon as all arrangements are complete.

The Cauliflower Alley Club and myself offers condolences to the friends and family of Princess Jasmine. I had the honor of discussing women’s wrestling with Jasmine at CACs 2008 banquet. It was great to hear her and Beverly Shade exchange wrestling stories of their international travels together. She is a huge supporter of female wrestling and I will miss her dearly. We love you Jasmine!

Cheerleader Melissa: TNA’s Secret Weapon

I have to admit, I don’t know much about the independent wrestling scene, nor am I as devoted to following SHIMMER as I am to the WWE and TNA. Thanks to being a member of alot of Divas forums and following the sites, my education in the area is improving.

More importantly, thanks to YouTube, I’ve been able to watch alot of matches and I can say this: the answer to TNA’s Knockout problems is Cheerleader Melissa……
