MICKIE JAMES PROFILE

>Mickie James made her debut in wrestling in the summer of 1999. She was best known as Alexis Laree during her days on the indy circuit. Laree started out as a valet, but within due time, she decided to step into the ring and become a wrestler herself. She wrestled for various indy promotions for several years. Laree's indy work would lead her to NWA-TNA in 2003. Laree would manage Raven during her coffee cup stint in NWA-TNA. Laree eventually left TNA to sign a developmental deal with WWE in August of 2003.

Soon after signing with WWE, Alexis Laree transferred over to Ohio Valley Wrestling. After being bypassed for several other women for two long years, it seemed as though that Laree would never be called up to the majors. However, in July of 2005, Laree received word that she would finally be called up to WWE. Laree was CM Punk's valet at a WWE Heat taping on July 25, 2005. Unfortunately, the match never aired because WWE officials were not impressed with their work. It was back to the minors for the both of them. Would Alexis Laree ever catch a break?

After several years of toiling on the indy circuit, Laree finally hit it big when she was called up to WWE in October of 2005. Under the guise of her real name, Mickie James was billed as an obsessed fan of Trish Stratus. For weeks on end, Mickie would idolize and mimic her idol. After Trish broke her heart, it was Mickie's time to shine when she overcame the odds to unseat Trish for the WWE Women's Championship at Wrestlemania 22. She would later lose the belt to Lita on an episode of RAW in August 2006

On Tonight's WWE SmackDown!.........

Michelle McCool and Cherry will battle Victoria and Maryse in a ......Water Balloon match?
Okay....a Water Balloon match.......WWE is wrestling right? Or has it turned its women's wrestling division into some bad Nickelodeon Game Show?
BTW, Diva Search Winner Eve will be the special referee.
Referee?
Why?
I guess This will all lead up to the Playboy Bunny Lumberjack match at Wrestlemania.

Maria - The Queen of Hearts

Maria recently attended a wild Alice in Wonderland themed charity bash for a Chicago Theatre Company. Supposedly dressed as the Queen of Hearts (TNA's Salina's did it better), the former Playboy Covergirl was auctioned out for $5,000 ($20,000 less than a night with Ashley) in exchange for a blind date.

Hopefully they gave her a cut of the $5,000 to buy herself a bra.

WrestleMania dreams realized and reborn

ORLANDO, Fla. – There is still something to be said for being able to reach a dream. In an age of compromise filled with hardships and hurdles; mountain after endless mountain; realizing your greatest desire is an honor beyond words. Nevertheless, WWE.com went on a search for those words, catching up with several Superstars preparing for WrestleMania, some for the first time, others after a long road back.

Being asked about her first appearance on The Grandest Stage of Them All, Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix showed an uncharacteristic soft side. Taking a moment to pause before answering, she explained, “It’s a really emotional time for me … winning the Women’s Championship was one thing, but to walk into WrestleMania wearing the gold, that’s probably the most highly anticipated moment of my life.”

However, her change of attitude was short-lived. When asked what she thought of her BunnyMania opponents, her arrogance quickly returned. Her face went cold as she commented simply, “I’m looking to make my WrestleMania record perfect, and I’m going to start on March 30.” If The Glamazon’s record leading to the Citrus Bowl is any indication, she is sure to reach her goal.

When asked about his first involvement, one half of the World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes was hardly able to contain his excitement. “It is the be-all, end-all of pro wrestling and … what a pro wrestler dreams of. What a sports-entertainer dreams of is being in that main event, and personally, for me, I’m 22 years old and I couldn’t be more excited!” With any luck, Rhodes will be able to capitalize on that excitement during the 24-Man Battle Royal and earn himself an ECW Championship opportunity.

But, what about those who have already experienced the big dance time and time again? Well, for two main event Superstars who have made comebacks from major injuries to reach The Granddaddy of Them All, a return to WrestleMania is that much sweeter. Triple H described his frustration about being out of action, explaining, “You sit behind the curtain and you’re watching the main event, knowing that was your spot and you wonder, ‘Am I ever going to get there again?’ ” After getting a taste of his beloved championship at No Mercy and reigning supreme at Hell in a Cell, the answer is clearly a resounding “yes.”

The Game didn’t limit his comments to himself, attempting to put into words the importance of a post-injury WrestleMania to his fellow challenger as well. “Cena’s a mutant, basically. I mean to tear your pec and be back 100 percent … John was hell bent on not missing WrestleMania and came back earlier than doctors ever thought he could — probably earlier than anybody ever has. Hats off to John Cena.”

Whether you are walking down that aisle for the first time, or after you thought you might not walk down it again, WrestleMania is truly the stuff that dreams are made of.

Roxxi Laveaux - The Bald Knockout

If you missed TNA Sacrifice then you missed one hell of a show. The Knockouts excelled in an entertaining battle royal - we'll exclude Traci from the mix as her elimination was pathetic. Roxxi & Gail outlasted all of the other women and battled it out in a bloody ladder match for the chance to face Awesome Kong for the Knockouts Championship. Sadly for Roxxi she wasn't destined to win the ladder bout and was left bald - thanks to the Beautiful People. The devious Angelina & Velvet took great delight in assisting Gail alongside laughing their asses off as Roxxi was shaved bald.

This week on iMPACT fans will get to see a night of revenge as Roxxi joins forces with the uncontrollable ODB to battle the Beautiful People in a tag team match. What will happen when the voodoo queen gets her hands on Angelina & Velvet? Sparks will certainly fly this Thursday!!!

Mary-Kate Olsen might be an Emmy contender

In a turn of events that belongs under the definition of "didn't see that coming," Mary-Kate Olsen's name is being tossed around as Emmy fodder for her extended stay on the Showtime comedy Weeds.

The L.A. Times says the network will be putting up hundreds of dollars to enter her in a multi-round nominating process, which involves a popular vote by academy members to winnow the field to 10 finalists, then submitting a sample episode for consideration.

Olsen starred in 10 of this season's 15 episodes as druggie member of the god squad who has the hots for Hunter Parrish's character Silas. That stunt-casting sure goes a long way, doesn't it?

Kimora Lee Simmons

Kimora Lee Simmons is a nonsinging diva. That’s why she has a contract rider, like the ones used on concert tours, for personal appearances. “She demands that someone stand by and refill her champagne glass whenever it gets below one inch, that the water is Fiji only and that the place provide fans that blow on her in case it gets hot

Women's Wrestling Earns 2nd Place Nationals Finish

LAKELAND, Fla. - The shift from freestyle wrestling to collegiate-style wrestling did little to slow Pacific down in terms of their presence on the national scene as the Boxers wrestle to a second place in the first National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) Women's National Championships, which finished Sunday at the George Jenkins Arena.

Pacific finished with 50 teams points to earn their third runner-up finish in a national meet since the creation of the program in the 2001-02 season.
