Looks like we could be seeing the last of Kong’s Syrian cohort in TNA. According to our partners at the Wrestling Globe Newsletter, TNA is dropping the ‘burkha babe’ character soon. Raisha Saeed, real name Melissa Anderson, will be taking on the persona of ‘Future Legend’ Melissa Flash.
Just hazarding a guess, Flash will be somewhere along the lines of the beloved ‘Cheerleader Melissa’ character. Anyone who has seen Melissa’s SHIMMER matches can attest to how smashmouth and hard-hitting she can be and is probably salivating for her debut. Well, you have a long wait ahead. In three weeks time, Flash will have her official debut against fellow newcomer, Sarita on Impact.
Personally, I never cared much for Raisha Saeed as a character, so I’m glad to see her go. Especially if the trade off is Cheerleader Melissa. Melissa, along with Sarita, could be serious contenders for the Knockouts title in the near future. Just in case you’re not familiar with Melissa (Shame on you!), here’s a little taste of what she can do:

You have no idea how excited I am about this! Melissa is my absolute favorite wrestler, and I’m so happy that she’s finally going to get the chance to show the TNA audience what she can do.
Flash? Really?
I am really excited to see what Melissa Flash does in TNA! I bet her and Sarita (I’m going to have to get used to both of their new names) will have some awesome matches. TNA is showing an amazing new talent now that she’s going to be outside of the Raisha character.
When was this match?
BTW I am SO happy about this, you guys know how much I love Cheerleader Melissa. I almost pissed my pants when I found this out.
I remember watching that match! Daizee Haze is great, for a small woman, she kicks ass (excuse my language)
Melissa’s style is smash mouth and in your face, this lady is hella strong…i like her a lot
Her Kudo Driver is one of the best finishers I’ve ever seen from a female wrestler!
