Mickie James recently spoke about her future in wrestling. Here are the highlights…
On Sharing Her Love of Wrestling With Her Father: “Wrestling was my father and I’s common bond,” James said. “During commercial breaks, I would come off the couch with an elbow. But I also played the violin for five years and would walk around the house recording myself sing. I just couldn’t figure out how to break into either profession until my friend suggested I attend a wrestling school in the D.C. area. I didn’t even know there was such a thing, but I fell in love with it ever since.”
On TNA’s Schedule Helping Her Music Career: “It’s one of those things where you have to make time and work around your schedule,” James said. “Coming from the WWE where I was on the road 200 to 250 days of the year and then crossing over to TNA where the schedule was much lighter gave me some time to work on the music. But it’s not easy cash, I will say that.”
Is She Done With Wrestling?: “It’s certainly not the last time you’ll see me on television in a wrestling ring,” James said. “I’m far from done. When I retire, I want to retire the right way. That’s what we all hope for, right?”
