History Wrestling / MickieJames

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

** Candie was first a rival valet (and had some of the same clients like Julio Dinero and Joey Matthews), then a rival wrestler. Eventually they became a tag team. She had the same dynamic with Dawn Marie, whom never became her partner but did face her in some of her favorite WWE matches ([[OffScreenMomentOfAwesome dark matches]], unfortunately)

* {{Eagleland}}: A favorably viewed "Guapa Americana" in WWC against ODB, who embodied all the negative aspects of the trope.

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

** When asked at Glory, Alexis named Persephone and Sumie Sakai to be her toughest foes but bared no animosity toward them. Didn't have the positive attitude about Persephone until Simply Luscious pulled an EvilerThanThou at Ring Of Honor though.

** With Sweet Saraya in Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} over the common ground that was Nicole Matthews and the fact Matthews was being backed up by The Kimber Bombs, James starting to develop a rivalry with [[Wrestling/PrincessKimberlee Kimber Lee]].

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 former member Wrestling/{{TNA}}, 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.

** With Sweet Saraya in Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} over the common ground that was Nicole Matthews and the fact Matthews was being backed up by The Kimber Bombs, James starting to develop a rivalry with "Princess" Lee.

* RealSongThemeTune
** (in ROH): [[Music/KottonmouthKings The Kottonmouth Kings]]' "Day Dreamin' Fazes"
** Music/TheWhiteStripes' "Seven Nation Army"
** (in OVW): Music/NoDoubt's "Just a Girl"

** While in Ring Of Honor she caught The Christopher Street Connection's Mace in the balls when he decided to titillate Allison Danger by sticking his crotch in her face. He went down pretty quickly after that and Alexis still maintained the {{code of honor}} by shaking his hand.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Mickie the character has shown blatant attraction to Trish Stratus, as well as a move that involved her kissing an opponent before kicking them. But she also had a relationship with John Cena.

* 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.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Her reasoning behind her FaceHeelTurn siding with Alexa Bliss in 2017 is that the "shoved-down-your-throat" corporate branding of the WWE Women's Revolution completely overlooked Mickie's career and previous sacrifices, and Alexa was the only one of the new girls who approached Mickie and remembered all her accomplishments.

* MalevolentMaskedMen: Returned on the January 17, 2017 edition of ''Smackdown'' as the villainous La Luchadora; attacking Beoky Lynch and helping Alexa Bliss beat Lynch in a steel cage match.

* WhiteAndWhiteMorality: Vs Wrestling/BlackRose during WWC's Aniversario tour-the only such showdown with an off islander Black Rose had in WWC by virtue of Wrestling/{{Sar|ahStock}}ita [[HateSink taking all the heat]] with Shawn Hernandez in her corner.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Pro Wrestling Syndicate 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 had been using her favoritism with the commissioner to abuse referees. Unsurprisingly, James didn't keep her job.

* BuxomIsBetter: Once she got her breast implants.

** Whatever Mickie James's history was with Wrestling/BethPhoenix wasn't revealed as Beth was sidelined with a broken jaw and was never reinserted in the storyline.

* FinishingMove: The Implant DDT. Mickie added a crossed legged STF to her arsenal during her second TNA run. Alexis Laree had an inverted DDT up until she went into OVW and began to develop her five moves of doom.

* PantyShot: In her early outfits. Particularly when successfully landing on her feet after an attempted throw.

-->''"In my opinion, the best pure baby{{face}}s of all time are Wrestling/BradArmstrong, Wrestling/RickySteamboat and Mickie James. Mickie is always moving forward, up on the balls of her feet, going at her opponent. She always has that energy and passion, and it's infectious. Her smile is genuine. When she is winning, we celebrate with her. And when she is getting beat down, we want to fight for her."''

* RealWomenHaveCurves: Said to Wrestling/LayCool "This is what a real woman looks like". Cue a massive pop from the ''[=SmackDown=]'' audience. Though she ''did'' admirably say that a woman was beautiful no matter what her body type - whether she was large or skinny.

She was inducted into the Covey Pro Hall Of Fame in 2014.

* CelebrityResemblance: The Miz compared her to Rachael Ray to emphasize how much better looking he thought Maryse was.

** 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, Mae Young) nor the FCW Divas Championship (defended in WWE's FCW revival, first champion, Wrestling/{{Naomi}} Knight)

* BadassNative: A member of the Powhatan tribe (located in Virginia).

** 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 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.]]

* TheBusCameBack: After six years she returned to WWE to face Asuka for the NXT Women's Championship, and then appeared on Smackdown as a sidekick to Alexa Bliss.

* RealWomenHaveCurves: Said to Wrestling/LayCool "This is what a real woman looks like". Cue a massive pop from the SmackDown audience. Though she ''did'' admirably say that a woman was beautiful no matter what her body type - whether she was large or skinny.
