Former WWE Star Mickie James, who recently joined the NWA and is set to produce their all-women’s PPV Event known as EMPOWERRR, appeared on Wrestling Inc.'s Daily podcast, where she talked about what one major regret she has from her last WWE run.
Mickie James said:
“In hindsight, I wish I’d shown up as ‘Hardcore Country’ Mickie James.” “I think she would have made a lot of money.”
Mickie James then talked about how she came back as her old-school persona, which she feels many know about.
Mickie James said:
“I came back as my old-school wrestling, with the bell-bottoms and stuff…a throwback.” “Which was, honestly, on me because I felt ‘the WWE audience knows her.’”
Mickie James then talked about how her “Hardcore Country” character in IMPACT would have had a bigger excitement and depth than her legend character.
Mickie James said:
“This is all speculation, but I think they would have more excitement, more stuff to do around that character.” “I feel the actual excitement of Mickie James coming back was kind of…” “I don’t know if that was a huge thing.” “But that’s on me, because I proposed it.”
Mickie James then talked about how it would be made a bigger statement if she came back to the WWE as a different character.
Mickie James said:
“It would have been cool.” “I had evolved. Wrestling had evolved. Women’s wrestling had evolved.” “It would have made a statement.” “I was one of the few people to be able to leave there and then completely reinvent and recreate myself and stay relevant in a whole other space without [WWE].”
