History Wrestling / MickieJames

** The first Florida Championship Wrestling Ladies Champion. While all three belts used the same promotion to cement their legitimacy, her title (alternatively referred to as the FCW Women's or NAWF Ladies title belt) has no continuity with the NWA Florida Women's title (defended in Championship Wrestling From Florida, which had to change its name to FCW, first champion, Wrestling/MaeYoung) nor the FCW Divas Championship (defended in WWE's FCW revival, first champion, Wrestling/{{Naomi}} Knight)

* ButNotTooBlack: She opted for light brown hair while she was in WWE and downplayed her Native American heritage (save for one Halloween costume contest where she dressed up in a {{WesternAnimation/Pocahontas}} costume. In her last year with the company she darkened her hair and adopted ring attire that evoked BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins.

* BareYourMidriff: Her attires are noticeably more modest than most other Divas, but she still shows off her tummy fairly often.

* BuxomIsBetter: Once she got her breast implants. She rivaled Jillian Hall as the most over woman in Ohio Valley, but neither of them got WWE's attention until they went under the knife.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: She has natural olive skin from Native American heritage, but she had light hair and was presented as white for most of her WWE career. The exception is the time she wore a Native American costume for Halloween and a BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins outfit before her release. Her Native American heritage and Southern roots were played up more when she went to TNA.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Have you ''seen'' her entrance?

** And as [[VideoGame/TombRaider Lara Croft]] at the 2008 event. This one won her the contest.

* ActionMom: Gave birth to a son, Donovan, in September 2014. Returned to the ring for ''[=2CW=] Christmas Chaos'' and beat Cherry Bomb.

* {{Corpsing}}: [[Wrestling/LondonAndKendrick Paul London]][=/=]Wrestling/SantinoMarella has burst on the scene spouting something [[CloudcuckOolander 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!

* IHaveTheHighGround: Defeated Tara on the December 9, 2010 ''TNA Impact'' with a Wrestling/LouThesz Press from the ''top of a cage!''

* [[NiceHat Nice Cap]]: Added one on her entrance outfit around 2008-2010.

** (in TNA): The Gathering, with Wrestling/{{Raven}}, Wrestling/CMPunk and Julio Dinero, which itself was a stable within a larger stable, [[FunWithAcronyms Sports Entertainment Xtreme]] (led by Wrestling/VinceRusso, with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters)
** (in AAA): La Sociedad, also with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.

* PantyShot: Early in her WWE run, she wore short skirts and nothing but thongs underneath, meaning the audience got a show every time said skirt flipped up. Sadly, management got wise and made her wear boyshorts; eventually she switched to regular tights.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Pro Wrestling Syndicate officials noticed a little too late that James's skirt was a little too short for a referee's. And one of her first actions as a referee was to punch La Rosa Negra, who until then had been using her favoritism with the commissioner to abuse referees. Unsurprisingly, James didn't keep her job.

Wiki/ThatOtherWiki has a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickie_James rundown]] on her life and career.

** Lexie Fyfe thought of Laree as worse than a rival, believing herself to have been personally wronged by Alexis and the officials of Florida Championship Wrestling, but despite having been knocked out with her own belt by a thieving Lexie, Alexis did not seem to know how strong that grudge was [[TheMark when she accepted the PGWA's offer for a title shot at Fyfe.]]

Mickie Laree James-Aldis (born Mickie Laree James on August 31, 1979 in Montpelier, Virginia), already a local softball legend, became more widely known as an American valet and country music singer turned professional wrestler, trained by the staff of KYDA and The Funkin' Conservatory. She has had multiple runs in the Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA, particularly in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]], which was founded as a member promotion, where she is a three-time [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/tna/tna-wm.html TNA Knockouts Champion]] as well as a run in WWE between 2005 and 2010 where she is a former 5x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-wm.html WWE Women's Champion]] and a 1x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-diva.html WWE Divas' Champion]]. She has also competed, usually under the name Alexis Laree, for Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, Wrestling/{{AAA}}, Wrestling/RingOfHonor and has been a SCW Diva Champion (2001), FCW Ladies Champion (2002), CSWF Women's Champion (2003), Pro Wrestling Universal Women's Champion (2003), NWA Cyberspace Women's Champion (2003), ICW Junior Heavyweight Champion (2003), DCW Women's Champion (2003) and more in many other independent promotions. She was inducted into the Covey Pro Hall Of Fame in 2014. She returned to WWE in 2016.

** Mickie first had Wrestling/TrishStratus, then Wrestling/BethPhoenix, Wrestling/{{LayCool}}, Wrestling/MadisonRayne, Wrestling/VelvetSky and Bram.

* {{Hypocrite}}: After the "Piggy James" incident, one wouldn't think Mickie would joint Wrestling/AlexaBliss in fat-shaming Wrestling/NiaJax, but she did(unless you saw her Wrestling/{{AAA}}'s Sociedad, where they all picked on Mari Apache).

* RedBaron: "The First Lady Of KYDA Pro" in her managerial days

** Wrestling/{{Kara|Drew}} Slice was once her most hated enemy, but the two eventually learned to coexist and even managed the same guy (Julio Dinero)

** Speaking of Victoria, she was a given since Mickie started out as an ally of Trish Stratus. Trish theoretically becoming a "common enemy" just made them fight for a shot at her. Victoria and Tara were usually more of a distraction to Mickie though, only being her main enemy once. On the independent circuit they tag together as often as they are opponents.

* SanitySlippage: The defining trait of her feud with Trish Stratus. Mickie developed feelings for her, but Trish kept turning her down, gently first. However, Mickie kept pushing and pushing, leading to an unwanted kiss under the mistletoe and her seeing Trish naked when it clearly made her uncomfortable. Eventually Trish got a little more forceful and finally told Mickie to stay away from her. This led to a StalkerShrine, kidnapping Trish's kayfabe boyfriend, and finally beating Trish for the Women's Title at Wrestlemania 22. However, it didn't stop there. Mickie decided that instead of wanting Trish, she wanted to ''be'' Trish, stealing her look, moves, music et al. Trish of course responded in kind, emulating Mickie to a T. While Trish won by DQ in their rematch, Mickie said that seeing Trish act like her put things in perspective and cured her of her obsession.

** Prior to WWE Alexis was rivals with Jillian Hall ever since she won a $1000 prize match in OVW and post WWE it continued in National Wrestling Superstars(and elsewhere) as Hall went out of her way to show up Mickie James and undermine her music career.

* ByTheHair: Yanked Marti Belle around this way in American Revolution Wrestling, but only after fans spent about three minutes {{c|rowdchant}}hanting "grab her hair".

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Nikki Bella described Mickie as an ideal locker room leader, saying she was the kind of person who was "super sweet but would still keep you in check", and that the environment suffered when she left.
