Former TNA Knockout Alissa Flash (a/k/a Melissa Anderson) comments on why she left TNA

Former TNA Knockout Melissa Anderson, who wrested as Alissa Flash and Raisha Saeed, told Diva-Dirt.com that contractual issues led to her departure. "There was a time period when I wasn't on TV for a little while and basically during that time, there were negotiations and talks and the result was neither of us could come to terms," Anderson. "However, a lot of people ask me if I would ever go back to TNA and I said absolutely if the timing is right." To read the full interview, visit DivaDirt.com.

Powell's POV: I've said many times that I felt Flash had the potential to be a breakout star in the Knockouts division. She had a unique look, good in-ring skills, and the fans responded to her character more than most of the other Knockouts. The transcription of the quotes is courtesy of James Caldwell of PWTorch.com.
