What do you think of the current state of women’s wrestling in North America,and which women in WWE would you love to face?
I wonder who’s gonna interview her….I hope it’s Cryssi!She SO deserves it! XD
how do you feel on your run in tna as alissa flash? do you feel you were used correctly?
Has WWE made any contact with you? If they wanted you to join the company, would you?
Dear Alissa Flash/Cheerleader Melissa: Are you Wrestlicious?
Who contacted you to TNA? Why didn’t they let you be a manager without that Arabian gimmick?
Question: Which of the 4 Joshis that will make their Shimmer debut next month would she love to face?
Another Question: Some shows are still booking her as “Alissa Flash”, is that a mistake of the bookers, or can she work under that name?
Um, Has WWE ever contacted you about signing with the company, And also I know how your good friends with Awesome Kong, has WWE made any advances toward Kong, about signing with them.
What do you think of the current state of women’s wrestling in America compared to when you were on the road with your father?
P.S. I LOVE YOU!
Which of the four Joshi Puroresu girls coming to Shimmer would you like most to face?
What was it like to debut in TNA as Alissa Flash in that amazing match with Sarita? It was one of, if not the, best womens match of 2009 in my opinion, and it was great to see the two of you steal the show.
cant wait
Question for Melissa: what was the jacket zip thing about in TNA?
that’s all i an think of that probably wont be asked already XD
i can’t believe this hasn’t been asked already
Alissa did you ask for your release or did TNA release you on their own???
Would you ever return to TNA in the future???
oh yeah one more question
can you shed some some light on the whole Raisha saeed gimmick, where did the idea of the character come from, did you volunteer for the role or did TNA pick you, and did you feel comfortable with the role???
Hey If You Could Wreslter Any WWE Diva Past And Present Which 2 Would You Pick ?.?
P.S Love The Future Legend Gimmick :)
Hey If You Could Wresle Any WWE Diva One From Past And One From Present Which 2 Would You Pick ?.?
P.S Love The Future Legend Gimmick :)
Who did you enjoy wrestling the most when you were in TNA?
Hello Alissa,
Do you see yourself, Traci, Kong or Roxxi heading to WWE? Has there been any interest on their part, if so is it mutual?
Thank you
Michael
“I wonder who’s gonna interview her….I hope it’s Cryssi!She SO deserves it! XD”
I personally hope that it’s Steven who interviews her. He’s been a huge follower/supporter of Melissa for a while now. He even wrote an awesome article about her back in August for her B-day which marked a Decade since she’s started to wrestle.
As for my question, Out of the 4 Joshi wrestlers making their debut in SHIMMER soon, which would you like to wrestle the most?
Can’t wait to see you kick ass in April once again and hopefully become SHIMMER Champ!
Alissa, I know that you wrestled/trained in Japan, and as I’ve been living in Tokyo long-term and am interested in becoming a wrestler when I finish university here I was wondering if you would you be able to tell me of how you were able to enter wrestling here to train?
Since someone asked my question already :-(
Question: Which match stipulation is your favorite?
Can’t wait to see you kick ass in April once again and hopefully become SHIMMER Champ! Your fans love you very much!
“He even wrote an awesome article about her back in August for her B-day which marked a Decade since she’s started to wrestle”
If the article you’re talking about is the one I think,then you’re wrong.The person who wrote that article was someone named Steven_D,not Steven from this website.
But,yeah.Now that you put it that way,I would like him to interview her.
i’d love to hear her thoughts on wrestlicious, as well as if she may consider heading there.
is tna really the friendly peaceful family vibed place all the other kos make it out to be?
was she supposed to have full length feuds with hamada and traci? why were they dropped so suddenly?
Which people were you closest with in your TNA tenure?
Will we see a return to TNA for Alissa Flash?
How did you feel about them basically making a joke by having you use your Future Legend moniker just so they could make you a jobber ?
1) How were things in the Knockouts locker room before and after Hulk Hogan and co. entered the company?
2) What was it like working with Mariko Yoshida and the ARSION promotion?
3) What was up with the feud with Hamada? Was it cut short or was it only supposed to be a short thing? If cut short, why?
4) How did the male wrestlers view the Knockouts division? Did they respect it and/or were fans of it?
“If the article you’re talking about is the one I think,then you’re wrong.The person who wrote that article was someone named Steven_D,not Steven from this website.”
Yeah…it’s the same person.
Just like when Shelly Martinez left TNA I was mad when you left as well. What made you decide to leave tna?
This is my first comment on here but I have been reading avidly for a good 3 months now! Love the site, I don’t know why no one told me before. :(
But my questions for her are:
1} Would you ever consider working for the wwe?
The women’s title would be great to have and feuds with Beth, Natalya, Mickie and others would be great so I hope you come.
2} What is your opinion of Lita? Would you ever like to wrestle her if she ever came back or have you already wrestled her before?
I ask because I am the biggest Lita fan ever so I want you to answer my question.
Thanks Alissa Flash!
Were there any storyline ideas that didn’t end up happening? Or any that were proposed but got shot down by you or anyone else?
1) Was there any girl i the KO division that you wish you had a chance to wrestle but didn’t?
2) Can you compare the backstage atmosphere of TNA to what its like being backstage in Japanese womens feds?
“Yeah…it’s the same person.”
No,it’s not.Steven_D and Steven from this website are two completely different people.They just happen to have the same name.
Question:
What was your experience like in WWE when you fought Tara (then known as Victoria) on Sunday Night Heat?
thx cant wait for the interview!! :)
Melissa,
1) Can you tell us why you were released by TNA?
2) If the WWE wanted to sign you, would you go?
3) Of all the Divas in the WWE, which 3 would you love a chance to wrestle and why?
4) If you are not WWE bound and a return to TNA is out of the question, which title would you like to capture? The SHIMMER title or the WSU championship?
5) Besides yourself, who would you consider the top 5 women in womens wrestling in North America?
Dear lord, have people actually lost the ability to scroll up and read? the whole “Would you return to TNA?” and “Why were you released?” also not forgetting “Will you go to WWE?” has been asked, what? 10 times now. I’m sure they’ll ask it.
My questions…
“You played Raisha Saeed for a couple of years prior to Alissa Flash, did you enjoy wearing the burqha as the character? Or did you feel playing the role didn’t give you all that much exposure until later on? Also you played your Cheerleader gimmick on the same night as Saeed in a ‘tryout’ match against Daizee Haze. Why did they do that? Were the plans to make you play two characters sooner than we thought?”
How do you feel about the decline of the Knockout division over the past year and a half?
Why was your match as Future Legend Melissa Anderson vs. Awesome Kong never aired? I read it got amazing reviews?
Who do you think is the hardest worker among the KOs?
Was there resentment on behave of the KOs over the difference in pay?
THANKS!!!! You are my favorite!
i don’t suppose you could find out from her whether kong is still with tna or not?
This interview will be amazing! Anyway, my question is: If diva-dirt offered you a position on their team (in the same vaine as krissy, bad pun sorry lol), is that something that you would be interested in?
Really looking forward to reading this interview!
Would be cool if you could maybe get her to do a few word association q’s about some of the knockouts/tna wrestlers/etc. Like, whats your opinion of: daffney = mad, hogan = bald etc.
Also, has she got any plans to return to europe to wrestle? UK specifically :)
1.) Melissa’s known for having rather extreme matches. What so far does she the most intense match she’s been in? The most insane moment?
2.) Melissa regularly takes pledges for fans for the San Francisco AIDS walk. Tell us more about this cause, why it’s so important, and what other things your fans can do to help. What are some other groups and charities you support?
3.) How good is your Xena battle cry?
You’re booked to go to Australia, now that you’re done with TNA will you also be making returns to Europe and Japan?
Will you ever rekindle your feud with The Sweet Saraya?

Same name, different person. However, Steven_D is a good friend and fellow Melissa fan. I did however write a piece on Melissa upon he debut as Alissa Flash, which could be the source of the confusion: http://www.diva-dirt.com/2009/07/19/tna-has-a-flash-of-brilliance/
What would it take for you (and Kong) to return to TNA? I want my Tara vs Alissa dream match. :)
With you getting your release just as the Kong/Bubba situation broke, was it a case of you leaving before the inevitable (staying until you contract ran out and not renewing it) or your loyalty to Kong?
If you’re not interested at all in going to the WWE, what is your reasons? What would have to happen in the company to make you reconsider?
Were there ever any plans for you to reveal yourself as Raisha and or/ Feud with Kong?
Why Did TNA treat you so wrong they never gave you a shot at the TNA Knockout Belt and now the Knockout are put on the back burner do you think a company like Chickfight,Wsu,Japw,Roh can bring womens wrestling to primetime?
Q: I personally loved the Raisha Saeed character. Did you like playing her? Did you ever get any backlash from Muslims over it?

Who was your best friend in TNA?
Melissa-
What happened regarding your release from TNA?
After seeing the greatest women’s division in the history of wrestling built in TNA, what are your feelings regarding the release of Kong, Roxxi, and yourself? Similarly, what do you think about the new Hogan regime responsible for the disintegration of the Knockouts division?
If you were creatively in charge of TNA while Alissa was being used, how would you have booked yourself (or any other of the ladies, for that matter)?
If you could spend the rest of your career in one wrestling organization, which would it be?
Would you ever work for TNA again? What about WWE?
What is your favorite thing to do outside of wrestling?
