If anyone's familiar with current New Japan; you'll know of the amazingness that is Tetsuya Naito and if you don't know of him, he's basically the best douchebag heel in all of New Japan, from what I gather he turned heel after the fans turned on him when he was being pushed and he basically became the epitome of 'Not Giving A Crap'. He takes forever to get his ring gear off, he stalls as much as possible and does everything he can to rile the crowd up and he has become a lot more entertaining because of it.
Now one of the criticisms of Melissa is that she's getting stale or has been in a bit of a slump recently. Maybe she could take a page out of Naito's book and just not give a ****; but not half-heartedly, she could stall for as long as possible, smile condescendingly at her opponents, stroll around the ring casually. Melissa may not be much good on the mic but she has a lot of charisma in her body language and facial expressions; if she loses she just shrugs like it's no big deal; hell if she's in a tag match with someone and her partner's getting pinned, she could act like she's going to break up the pin, stop, and just casually stroll out like nothing happened.
If it works in New Japan it could very well work in Shimmer. I think she could really get some serious heel heat from the people who were once apathetic to her recently.
