Mickie James recently appeared as a guest on the "Excuse Me! with Vickie Guerrero" podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During her appearance on the program, the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion spoke about the inaugural NWA EmPowerrr all-women's pay-per-view, her recent talk with NWA owner Billy Corgan about running the second NWA EmPowerrr show and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On how special the first Empowerrr event was: "It [NWA EmPowerrr] was just special because everybody was there and the energy was, you know, it was a lot of energy and positive energy and I think everybody wanted to see it win. You know, and it did and it won and that was — I hope we can do it every year and find a way because the beauty of it was the balance of every company kind of stepping up and recognizing their women’s division and saying, ‘Okay, this is a cool spotlight and this is something different and unique and it can kind of, you know, empower us all to step up our game’ and it’s just — it was just cool. It was really cool and I’m grateful for it because it took a lot to make it happen and to do it that way."
On how she has spoken with Billy Corgan and hopes to run Empowerrr 2 this year: "I’m hoping [to do EmPowerrr in 2022], yeah. I mean because the original — obviously we started the Cup there, you know? The Women’s Invitational and the idea was to do that annually at that pay-per-view so I talked to Billy [Corgan] about it and we definitely want to do — whether it aligns with that Anniversary Show which I felt like made it a really awesome weekend especially for the fans. So I think, yeah, next year — this year I guess. It’s January [Mickie laughed]."
