Full Mickie James Biography
Mickie Laree James (born on August 31, 1979) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on its RAW brand.
James' career has gone through many promotions. In late 1999 she expanded out to other promotions including all-female promotions Beautiful Babes of Wrestling (BBOW) and Professional Girl Wrestling Association (PGWA). She probably made her largest impact wrestling for Maryland Championship Wrestling, where she engaged in several long-running feuds. In January 2001, Mickie made her debut appearance for two new women's promotions, Dangerous Women of Wrestling (DWOW) and Women's Extreme Wrestling (WEW). Both promotions worked together to promote women's wrestling with a hardcore edge, and WEW had regular monthly pay-per-view matches. James' feuds in WEW include matches against "Prime Time" Amy Lee, Dee-Dee Venturi, a re-ignition of her feud with Candie from MCW, and the start of a new series of feuds with "Simply Luscious" Ronnie Stephens. Her matches against Stephens stretched to many independent promotions in the northeast. Mickie also made her name internationally by wrestling on early Ring of Honor cards. She had a kayfabe sister called Valentina Laree as part of an angle during her indie days (when Mickie's ring name was Alexis Laree).
Mickie, as Alexis Laree, debuted in NWA TNA as a TNA Knockout on their second-ever PPV in late 2002 as part of the all-women's Lingerie Battle Royal. However, she wasn't prominently featured until the March 26, 2003 PPV, when she helped out the Amazing Red in a mixed tag-team match against Kid Kash and Trinity. Two weeks later, the two women had a match against each other that ended prematurely when James was dragged away by Raven, who had recently debuted. Later that evening, it was revealed that James had joined Raven's new group, The Gathering, which would later be expanded with the addition of Julio Dinero.
On the May 8 edition of RAW, following James' attack on Maria, an unknown woman confronted James. The women was removed by security, but it seemed as though James knew her because she shouted at her as she left the arena. The woman, later revealed as then baby face, Beth Phoenix, attacked James on RAW for several weeks, repeatedly shouting "I'm not going to let you get away with what you did to me!" This feud was cut short, after Phoenix injured her jaw in a match against Victoria.
James lost her Women's Championship on the August 14 edition of RAW to Lita after she hit James with the belt while Edge distracted the referee.James then turned face once again. Mickie's rematch occurred on the August 28 edition of RAW, but she once again lost to Lita after she used the ropes for leverage. James was defeated by Trish Stratus in Stratus' last match on September 11, where they both hugged each other following the match. Because she was retiring, Stratus' title was vacated, which led to a Women's Championship Tournament to determine the new champion. In the tournament, James defeated both Victoria and Melina, before losing to Lita at Cyber Sunday. Mickie and Lita fought in a series of matches where Lita took an unfair advantage over Mickie by having her legs shackled together, one arm tied behind her back, or being blindfolded. At Survivor Series 2006, James won her second Women's Championship by pinning Lita in Lita's retirement match.
On the November 27, 2006 episode of RAW, Victoria won a Divas Battle Royal to face James at New Year's Revolution for the WWE Women's Championship. After several weeks of feuding, James pinned Victoria at New Year's Revolution, successfully defending her Women's Championship. Following New Year's Revolution, Melina would become the #1 contender for the WWE Women's Championship. For a brief time, Mickie would align herself with Super Crazy against Melina and Johnny Nitro. On the February 5, 2007 episode of RAW, Mickie defeated Melina to retain the title, but two weeks later, she lost her championship to Melina. On the March 5 edition of RAW, Mickie James got a rematch, where she participated in the first ever Women's Falls Count Anywhere Match. Melina pinned Mickie after she attempted to do a Frankesteiner from the top rope, which Melina blocked, causing James to fall on her neck and almost causing a serious injury.
James loves horses and used to groom her grandmother's horses every day after school with her sister Latoya. She owns three horses: Rhapsody, Bunny, and Casanova. She plans to teach children how to ride horses and also plans on getting back into riding and showing horses after her wrestling career slows down.
As a child, her favorite wrestler was "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and she often wrestled her father and younger brother on the trampoline in their backyard. Along with Randy Savage, James cites Ricky Steamboat, Ric Flair, and Sherri Martel as her "all-time favorite" wrestlers when she was growing up.
In late 2006, Mickie completed her Associate's degree in Business Administration, and is currently pursuing her Bachelor of Arts degree in Operations Management.
Mickie's favorite TV shows are Family Guy and the three CSI series, but has said that she rarely gets time to watch TV because of her wrestling career, her college degree, and her horse riding. Her favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys. |
