Mickie Laree James[4] (born August 31, 1979) is an American professional wrestler signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) appearing on its Smackdown brand.


Mickie Laree James[4] (born August 31, 1979), better known simply as Mickie James, is an American professional wrestler signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) appearing on its SmackDown brand. [3]

James began her professional wrestling career in 1999 as a valet on the independent circuit, where she was known under the name Alexis Laree.[5] She trained in several camps to improve her wrestling abilities before working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in June 2002, where she gained national attention.[5][6] After only a few appearances, she joined a stable called The Gathering and was written into angles with the group. She is also the only woman to be involved in Clockwork Orange House of Fun matches.[7]

James appeared in WWE in October 2005 and was placed in a storyline with Trish Stratus, in which James' gimmick was that of Stratus' biggest fan turned obsessed stalker, an angle which lasted almost a year.[8][5][9] She received a push, and she won her first WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 22, a title she has held a total of four times. James also won her first Divas Championship at Night of Champions in 2009 to become the second Diva to hold both the Women's and Divas titles.[10]

Early life

Mickie James was raised on a farm with her sister Latoya in Montpelier, Virginia.[11][12] She is of Native American (Powhatan) heritage.[13] As a child, she watched weekend horse shows. [1][11] James started riding horses when she was eleven years old after her grandmother bought her a horse.[3] James was also a fan of professional wrestling and used to watch it with her father.[1]

James debuted in WWE on the October 10 2005 episode of Raw, continuing to use her real name, under the gimmick of WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus' biggest fan.[8][14][15] The angle had the two WWE Divas competing together in tag team matches, with James' character becoming increasingly obsessed with Stratus.[16][17][18] The storyline included a Halloween Costume Contest in which James was dressed like Stratus and helped Stratus retain the Women's Championship in a Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal at Taboo Tuesday by eliminating herself and Victoria at the same time.[19][20] She even began utilizing Stratus' signature finishing moves as her own during matches. James became the number one contender for the Women's Title on December 12 by defeating Victoria in a match to determine who would face Stratus at New Year's Revolution.[21] Subsequently, the storyline between James and Stratus developed into a lesbian angle after James initiated an intimate kiss with Stratus under a sprig of mistletoe and complimented Stratus on her breasts.[8][9][22] In the championship match at the pay-per-view, James lost to Stratus but continued to be enamored of her the next night on Raw, and she confessed her love for Stratus at the Royal Rumble.[9][23]

On March 6, 2006 the storyline had Stratus confronting James, telling her that they needed time apart from each other.[8][9][24] The duo teamed together at the March 18, 2006 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event to defeat Candice Michelle and Victoria. After the match, James agreed to honor Stratus' wishes and attempted to kiss her. After Stratus pushed her away, James' character made a complete heel turn by attacking Stratus in the ring and later vowing to destroy her.[8][9][25] The two women wrestled each other at WrestleMania 22, where James was booked to win the match to claim her first reign as Women's Champion.[26] During the match, despite the fact that James was playing the heel character, the fans frequently cheered James and booed Stratus whenever Stratus hit an offensive maneuver.[27][28] Her win at WrestleMania made her the first diva ever to win their first Women's Championship at their debut WrestleMania. The angle continued into Backlash during a rematch after Stratus legitimately dislocated her shoulder when James threw her out of the ring.[29][30]
