Don’t let the smile and the pom-poms fool you: Melissa is not your average cheerleader. In fact, she is one of the most impressive female competitors in the world today, bar none. Since joining APW full time in 2001, Melissa has gone toe-to-toe with some of the biggest and baddest members of the APW roster, including former Universal Heavyweight Champion “The Brown Bomber” Robert Thompson and current APW Tag Team Champions, E.G.O.
Melissa has had unprecedented success in and out of APW, including ARISON in Japan, Chick Fight tournaments in the United States, and she won the very first Chick Fight tournament held overseas in the United Kingdom. She also wrestled former WWE Women’s Champion Victoria on Sunday Night Heat. With strength beyond her size, a devastating finishing maneuver, and experience from so many corners of the globe, Melissa is quick to silence any critics – and opponents – who only see a pretty face. They are quick to find out that she is anything but a damsel in distress.
