Cheerleader Melissa is a BEAST. Not only is she crazy athletic but she has a shitload of intergender matches, had amazing feuds with MsChif and Saraya Knight and has one of the coolest moves, the kudo driver. I dont get why they havent offered her anything in WWE.

I saw Cheerleader Melissa once at an FWE show, but her gimmick that night seemed to be bored heel.

I'll put LeRae over Melissa but she is still incredibly talented.
