Mickie Laree James[1] (born August 31, 1979) is an American professional wrestler and singer.

James began her professional wrestling career in 1999 as a valet on the independent circuit, where she was known under the name Alexis Laree.[10] She trained in several camps to improve her wrestling abilities before working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (NWA:TNA) in June 2002, where she gained national attention.[10][11] After only a few appearances, she joined a stable called The Gathering and was written into storylines with the group. She is also the only woman to be involved in Clockwork Orange House of Fun matches.[12]

James appeared in World Wrestling Entertainment (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.[4][10][13] She received a push, and she won her first WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 22, a title she has held a total of five 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.[14] She was released from the company on April 22, 2010, after which she returned to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

In TNA, James won three times the TNA Women's Knockout Championship and the 2013 TNA World Cup with Team USA. She left TNA in September, 2013.[15][16] Between WWE and TNA, James is a nine-time champion, which is a national record[17][18] and is also the only person to hold the WWE Women's, WWE Divas and TNA Knockout Championships in wrestling history.[19] PWI ranked James as the number one wrestler in 2009. James was also voted "Woman of the Year" in 2009 and again in 2011 by readers of PWI magazine.

Early life

James was born in 1979 to Stuart James, a retired wastewater treatment worker and landscaper, and Sandra Knuckles, a Hanover County teacher and real-estate agent.[20] Her parents eventually divorced while she was still young. She also has many siblings including one full sister, one half-sister, a half-brother, and three stepbrothers.[20] She grew up in Montpelier, Virginia and graduated from Patrick Henry High School in 1997.[20][21] While growing up, she spent a lot of time on her grandmother's horse farm, and developed a keen interest in equestrian sports.[21] She played violin for five years.[22]

Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (1999–2003)

A fan of professional wrestling from an early age, James attended a professional wrestling school in the Washington, D.C. area at the suggestion of a friend.[21][23] She made her professional debut on the independent circuit in 1999 as a valet for KYDA Pro Wrestling under the ring name Alexis Laree, a name created as the result of a combination of her stage name from when she was a dancer and her middle name.[1][10][24] As Laree, she managed several male wrestlers, including managing Tommy Dreamer to win the KYDA Pro Heavyweight Championship.[12][25] In March, she wrestled in her first match, an intergender tag team match with Jake Damian against American Mike Brown and Candie.[12] She trained to improve her wrestling abilities by attending training camps such as the Funking Conservatory, a workshop run by Dory Funk, Jr., and an Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) dojo. She also started competing for Maryland Championship Wrestling, where she trained at camps run by Ricky Morton and Bobby Eaton.[10][12] Beginning in 2002, she also made appearances in Ring of Honor.[7]

Due to the low salary of the independent shows, James supplemented her income by working as a waitress at an Olive Garden restaurant,[3] and posing nude for the magazine Leg Show.[26]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2002–2003)

Main article: Raven's Nest § The Gathering

While working in Ring of Honor for a year, James also debuted as Alexis Laree in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) on the company's second ever weekly pay-per-view as a participant in a lingerie battle royal.[11][27] She was not prominently featured until March 26, 2003, when she teamed with Amazing Red as part of his feud against Kid Kash—the X Division Champion—and Trinity.[10][28] Weeks later, she became the first member of The Gathering, a stable led by Raven in his feud against NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett.[10] On April 16, Laree became the first (and thus far, only) woman to compete in a Clockwork Orange House of Fun match after the Gathering challenged and defeated Jarrett.[12][29] She continued to wrestle with the stable when they feuded with The Disciples of the New Church, taking part in an angle with Father James Mitchell burning her with a fireball and wrestling in another Clockwork Orange House of Fun match before leaving the company.[30][31][32]

World Wrestling Entertainment

Ohio Valley Wrestling (2003–2005)

After two years of sending tapes and making phone calls, as well as wrestling a tryout match with Dawn Marie, James was signed to a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), who sent her to train at Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), their farm territory, in August.[3][10][12][24] Still using the Alexis Laree name, she began making television appearances for OVW on January 29, 2004 and competed in several tag team matches throughout the year.[33][34] She also won a Halloween Costume Contest on October 30 and defeated Jillian Hall in a $1,000 match on November 12.[2][35]

On May 17, 2005, Laree was placed into a tournament for the OVW Television Championship. She defeated Mike Mondo in the first round, only to lose to Blaster Lashley in the next one.[33][36] She began a feud with Beth Phoenix on July 20 after Phoenix interrupted Laree during an interview, setting up a match on July 29 which Laree lost.[33][34] Their angle continued into September, with Shelly Martinez being added to the storyline to side with Phoenix against Laree. On October 12, she appeared in OVW under her real name and finished the year on the losing end of matches against Martinez and Jillian Hall.[33]

Trish Stratus's fan (2005–2006)

James at a Raw live event

Mickie 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.[4][37][38] The angle had the two WWE Divas competing together in tag team matches, with James' character becoming increasingly obsessed with Stratus.[39][40][41] 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.[42][43] 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.[44] Subsequently, the storyline between Mickie and Trish developed into a lesbian angle after Mickie had a kiss with Trish under a sprig of mistletoe.[4][13][45] 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.[13][46]

Despite the defeat, James continued to be enamored of Stratus which made her feel uncomfortable.[47] On March 6, 2006, the storyline had Stratus confronting James, telling her that they needed time apart from each other.[4][13][48] Through the early part of 2006, James would attack Massaro several times due to Ashley calling her crazy. At the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, James defeated Massaro with then Women's Champion, Trish Stratus, as the special guest referee.[49] Massaro got her revenge one week later by pinning James in the rematch on Raw.[50]

The duo teamed together at the March 18, 2006 episode of Saturday Night's Main Event to defeat Candice Michelle and Victoria. After the match, Mickie agreed to honor Trish's wishes and attempted to kiss her. After Trish pushed her away, Mickie attacked Trish in the ring and later vowed to destroy her, establishing her heel turn.[4][13][51] The feud between James and Trish culminated in a Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 22, where James won the match, and became the new Women's Champion.[52] Her angle with Stratus continued into Backlash during a rematch after Stratus legitimately dislocated her shoulder when James threw her out of the ring.[53][54]

Mickie James dropped the Women's Title on August 14 to Lita after Lita hit James with the title belt.[55] After the Women's Championship was vacated due to the retirement of Trish Stratus, James entered a tournament to determine the new champion.[56] She defeated Victoria and Melina in the qualifying rounds before making it to the finals at Cyber Sunday, where she lost to Lita. James turned face after her and Lita wrestled in a series of matches in which Lita chose stipulations to hinder James' wrestling ability.[57] The storyline feud ended at Survivor Series, where James defeated Lita, in a retirement match, to win her second Women's Championship.[58]

An angle was then created between Mickie James and Melina, beginning on January 29, 2007, when Melina became the number one contender for the Women's Title.[59][60]Following a successful title defense on February 5,[61] James teamed with Super Crazy in a mixed tag team match against Melina and Johnny Nitro. After Melina pinned Mickie for the victory, she challenged her to a rematch for the title.[62] James dropped the Women's Championship to Melina on February 19 and, in continuation of their storyline feud, failed to regain the title during WWE's first women's Falls Count Anywhere match.[63][64] During the finish of the match James fell from the turnbuckle and landed on her neck, which resulted in a rushed finish. James, however, was not seriously injured.[65]

James in 2007

The scripted feud between Mickie James and Melina restarted on April 2 when James interrupted and attacked Melina during a photo op on Raw.[66] At a house show in Paris, France on April 24, James won her third Women's Championship during a Triple Threat match that also involved Victoria. Since Mickie pinned Victoria, however, and not Melina, Jonathan Coachman announced that a rematch would take place immediately. James dropped the title back to Melina, giving her the shortest Women’s Championship reign in WWE history.[67] James later got rematch for the title at Backlash but was unsuccessful. After Backlash, James would make sporadic appearances on television wrestling occasionally in tag-matches and rarely in singles competition. On the November 26 episode of Raw, James defeated Melina in a number one contenders match for Beth Phoenix's Women's Championship,[68] setting up a title match between the two at Armageddon, a match in which Phoenix successfully defended her Women's title.

On the April 14, 2008 episode of Raw, held in London, Mickie James defeated Beth Phoenix to win her fourth Women's Championship.[69] At Judgment Day James successfully defended her title against Melina and Beth Phoenix in a triple-threat match.

At the event, James defeated Maryse to win her first Divas Championship, becoming only the second Diva in history to have held both the Women's and Divas titles.[74] Throughout the summer, James successfully defended the title against Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix on episodes of Raw,[75][76] and against Alicia Fox at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on October 4.[77] Two weeks later on Raw, James dropped the belt to Jillian Hall after an approximate three month title reign.[78] After the show, James was moved to the SmackDown brand for the first time in her career due to a Diva trade made by Raw guest host Nancy O'Dell.[79]

James made her SmackDown debut on the October 23 episode of SmackDown by defeating Layla.[80] On the October 30 episode of SmackDown, a controversial angle began that saw WWE Women's Champion Michelle McCool and Layla (collectively known as LayCool) bully James. On the November 6 episode of SmackDown, after James defeated Layla, McCool gave James the name "Piggy James", that sent James to tears, resulting in a five-on-five elimination tag team match at the November pay-per-view event Survivor Series, where James' team prevailed over McCool's team with James and Melina as the soul survivors.[81] On the December 3 episode of SmackDown, Mickie became the number one contender for McCool's title by defeating Beth Phoenix and Natalya in a triple threat match.[82] The following week, Mickie challenged McCool for the Women's Championship at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, but was unsuccessful after interference from Layla.[83][84] The storyline feud continued into the Royal Rumble on January 31, 2010 where Mickie finally defeated McCool to win her fifth Women's Championship. Over the next couple of weeks, SmackDown consultant Vickie Guerrero was introduced into the rivalry, choosing to side with LayCool over James. On the February 26 episode of SmackDown, McCool used her rematch clause to face James for the Women's Championship, with Guerrero acting as special guest referee. After Vickie slapped Mickie in the face, McCool pinned her to regain the title.[85]

On March 9, WWE.com announced that James was diagnosed with a staph infection on her right knee and that she would be out of action for three weeks.[86] She returned on the March 22 episode of Raw, where alongside Kelly Kelly, she accompanied Eve Torres, Beth Phoenix and Gail Kim in their losing effort against McCool, Maryse and Layla, who had Vickie Guerrero and Alicia Fox in their corner.[87] This set up a 10-Diva tag team match at WrestleMania XXVI in which Mickie made an unsuccessful in-ring return after Vickie pinned Kelly following a "hog" splash. During the match, Mickie deliver the DDT to Michelle McCool.[88] James made her last appearance on Raw during a rematch when her team was victorious.
