Hermie's Hot Seat featuring Alissa Flash

Well, it says Alissa Flash but it's actually an interview with Melissa Anderson. She's not in character at all. This is because Hermie Sadler has known Melissa for several years and she worked for his wrestling company right after she returned from Japan. So she talks about growing up in the wrestling business going to shows with her dad and her uncle and getting her initial training with her uncle Billy. She talks about going to Japan to work for ARSION in 2001 and how the wrestling business is different there. She also talks about the longevity of the Cheerleader Melissa gimmick and that she didn't like the character at first. I'm surprised that TNA would allow her to talk about that character. So it's a great interview with a young veteran who has a clear vision of her place in the wrestling business. It's too bad that TNA keeps jobbing out Alissa Flash. I've always liked Melissa. She's an attractive girl but she isn't cute in the ring and she hits hard. A lot of women wrestlers don't even know how to throw a punch. So a hard hitting wrestler is valuable. I know exactly the high quality of work I'm going to see when Melissa Anderson steps into the squared circle. What more can you ask for? And this interview gives her more depth and makes her even better. Be sure to watch this video.
