Trivia / Mickie James

Go To

  • Breakup Breakout: The breakout from Candie, CM Punk being the breakout from Laree and the rest of the gathering.
  • Corpsing: Paul London/Santino Marella has burst on the scene spouting something so inane the rest of the locker room can but stare in confusion, anger or revulsion...except little Alexis/Mickie. Watch the camera frantically pan away!
  • Creator's Pest: After being released from WWE the second time, she alleged that any ideas she pitched were blocked by one specific person that "still works there". She also faced with people trying to make her retire or become an agent because she was "too old".
  • Fan Community Nickname: The James Gang. Became an Ascended Meme in her second last match, as Matt Striker acknowledged the name on TV.
  • Playing Against Type: Her ultra serious wrestler gimmick in Ring of Honor was this. Not only James known to be pretty sweet and goofy, but Allison Danger later revealed that her role as a bisexual stalker was Mickie's idea.
  • Real Song Theme Tune
  • Role-Ending Misdemeanor: The main reason for her WWE release was that during a UK tour, she caused several buses to arrive to the arena late. Other theories say that the company weren't happy with her launching her own album, independent of them.
  • Romance on the Set: Married to Nick Aldis; they also have a child together before their marriage. She was also previously engaged to Kenny Dykstra, and it was rumored that she once had flings with CM Punk and John Cena, the latter supposedly happened while she was still with Dykstra.
  • What Could Have Been
    • Laree and CM Punk were almost repackaged with a cheerleader gimmick while in developmental. Paul Heyman, thankfully, put a stop to that and the gimmick eventually developed into the Spirit Squad.
    • The Looney Fan angle was one Mickie James wrote on the off chance she would get on WWE's active roster. She wrote it with Lita in mind, but given Lita's ACL tear and valet duty of heel Edge around the time Mickie made it onto Raw, face champion Trish Stratus, whom she did not really know before hand, was deemed a better fit.
    • Sara Del Rey would be facing her at RPW Throwdown For The Pound 3 but James sustained a shoulder injury at a TNA House Show, so Knockout Champion Madison Rayne wrestled in her place while Mickie signed autographs and took pictures.
    • The day of her scheduled rematch with Sarita at WWC's 38th Aniversario, she instead faced Black Rose. Also, instead of getting a rematch with Melina at WWC's 39th Aniversario, Wrestling/Melina faced Velvet Sky.
    • Mickie pitched an idea for an all-women's brand or a web series like Grown Ass Women centered around the female stars - but got shot down because the higher-ups felt it wouldn't sell.
    • Mickie floated around the idea that she tie Trish Stratus's record for seven titles, and then have Charlotte Flair do the same - and both of them feud over who got to break the record.
    • Right before both were released in 2021, there were plans to have Mickie James experience a storyline with Chelsea Green - with Chelsea being her Loony Fan like she was to Trish. Mickie had previously pitched for Liv Morgan to fill that role.
