Alissa Flash – The new RCW Champion!

You read that right, former TNA Knockout Alissa Flash has made history by becoming the first woman to hold the top championship that’s supposed to be held by men only!

Yesterday, Saturday July 3rd, at River City Wrestling’s “Declaration of Champions” event in San Antonio, Texas, Flash was victorious in a match over RCW Champion Joey “Super Shot” Spector, and as a result became the first female to hold the top title of the independent promotion!

“What an event Declaration of Champions was! Alissa Flash is the new RCW Champion!” The official Twitter page for RCW – twitter.com/rcwforever – posted today.

Flash, who also wrestles across the indy scene, most notably for SHIMMER Women Athletes, as Cheerleader Melissa, is no stranger to breaking ground in wrestling. In 2004 she was awarded the “Future Legend Award” by the prestigious Cauliflower Alley Club, which would later become the basis of her “Future Legend” nickname in TNA, and is the only woman to receive the award.

On behalf of the webteam here at M-A.org, we want to congratulate Melissa on her win! We know this is a huge honor for her, and we are extremely proud of Melissa. Keep up the great work Melissa!

Match #11: The Canadian Ninjas (Porita Perez & Nicole Matthews) def. MsChif & Cheerleader Melissa to retain the SHIMMER Tag Team Championships. This was an interesting contrast of styles, as Melissa and MsChif tend to put on tag team matches that resemble the matches put on by male independent wrestlers from the modern day, whereas the Ninjas are, at least in my mind, more reminiscent of a heel team from 1980’s Memphis or some other southern territory, relying a lot more on stalling, cheating, and cutting off the ring than contemporary highspots. The potential for a clash of styles was essentially overcome by allowing MelissChif to destroy the champions with their signature offense early on, including an INSANE spot in which Nicole was laid up against the guardrail while Melissa picked up Portia and wheelbarrow whipped her into her own partner. Ultimately, the Ninjas were able to confuse their opponents and get them out of position, which resulted in the champs isolating MsChif and hitting her with a superkick/German suplex combination that gave Nicole the pin.

Oddly, this did not result in Matthews getting a shot at MsChif’s SHIMMER Title. It did, however, lead to a pre-taped promo airing during Volume 30 in which Melissa told ‘Chif that their two back-to-back tag team losses were leading to her dissolve the team and focus on her singles career.

VOLUME 30

Match #10: Madison Eagles def. Cheerleader Melissa to become the number one contender to the SHIMMER Title. This was set up by a pre-tape in which Melissa, Eagles, and Sarah Stock all having words about who would be the next champion, with MsChif deciding that the best way to resolve this situation would be Stock receiving her previously scheduled title match and Melissa and Eagles doing battle for the next title shot. The crowd was big into Melissa and the prospect of her winning this match, which make sense because, all weekend long, virtually every fan I talked to had expressed their desire to see MsChif and Melissa lock it up for the championship. That’s why Eagles winning, especially by wrapping her legs around the ropes during the final pin attempt, got a HYUGE amount of heat from the 250 or so fans in attendance. The match itself was not bad, though it was a bit disappointing in that each of the preceding four matches had built in terms of quality and intensity, while this one represented a bit of a step back from the Danger/Perez match that preceded it.

In this flashback, we take you back to a few months ago on iMPACT!, where Melissa, wrestling as Alissa Flash, took on Hamada, in a No Disqualification, Falls Count Anywhere match. Hamada was able to pick up the pinfall after delivering a moonsault to Melissa through a table.

Melissa has recently posted a pic on her Twitter of her wrestling Lady Apache at a recent show in San Francisco. Click the image to view the full size!

Also, I plan on doing weekly flashbacks of sorts of Melissa to help keep the site as updated as possible. Keep your eyes out on that!

Match 5: Knockout Battle Royal

Hamada, Traci Brooks, Daffney, Alissa Flash, Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne, Lacey Von Erich, Sarita, Taylor Wilde and Tara are entered in the battle royal with ODB serving as the special guest referee. This battle royal will be for a shot at the Knockout Championship at Final Resolution. The bell rings and all 10 go at it with Daffney getting quickly eliminated by Hamada. Sarita and Taylor then send a brawling Traci and Alissa out to the floor to bring the number down to seven as we head into a commercial break. A break in the commercial shows us that Lacey has been eliminated by Tara. We return to the broadcast as Sarita is eliminated by the remaining Beautiful People and Hamada and Taylor eliminated each other. Tara, Madison and Velvet are the final three remaining and the numbers game catches up with Tara. Velvet accidently eliminates Madison from the battle royal and Tara kicks Velvet off the ring apron and onto the floor to win the battle royal. ODB enters the ring and raises Tara?s hand in victory and slaps her hand away before leaving the ring.

Winner: Tara
