Mickie James

[7.0] "I think I like her a little less than most, but she was fantastic in her prime, especially against Beth Phoenix! Always felt like she really underdelivered in the heel portion of her career (minus 2006), though. I didn't like her TNA run or 2nd WWE run much. Very good seller, however."

[10.0] "Mickie James is a living legend, she is so underrated and overhated. This woman could go out there and give us absolute bangers. It does not matter how much time she got because even if they gave her 10 seconds, she went out there and told us a story. People don't realize how talented someone has to be to do that. WWE has done Mickie dirty in the early days when they did not give her that 7th reigns, only because they were afraid she would be bigger than Trish. Even in her second run she was so over and deserved a lot better than be a stepping stone. Thank god for TNA who gave her the chance to show us what she is capable of doing. Even now when she's past retirement age, she's still killing it in the ring. 11 world titles between wwe and TNA, freaking legend. Hope she gets inducted in the WWE hall of fame soon, she has totally earned it. Thank you Mickie for 2 decades of greatness."

[6.0] "fine in-ring, been a good person to have about your women's division for the last 20 plus years but her matches and promo's never really stood out massively to me or made me want to watch more of her."

[10.0] "One of The GOAT and The Living Legend in women's wrestling across WWE and TNA. She is my first childhood love, she is so timeless and deserved so much better what WWE has treated on her. I loved her rival with Trish Stratus, Melina, Asuka and Jordnny Grace very much."

[3.0] "I think she's severely overrated. She's a decent enough wrestler but I find a lot of her work to be unspectacular. I was also really put off by her last two runs in Impact. Twice she did a fake retirement and both times didn't drop the belt. I've also never like the country gimmick. She looks like she's playing dress up. I think the way she was used in WWE in her last run there is closer to how she really is. She's not awful but there's nothing that stands out. I've also read stories about her with fans that aren't favorable. I've never experienced it first hand but there's enough that the old adage "where there's smoke there's fire" is in play."

[9.0] "Mickie James is one of the most well-rounded women's wrestlers of all time. She could do it all--wrestle, cut promos, and connect with the audience in a way that made her matches feel important. Her debut storyline with Trish Stratus is one of the best WWE has ever done in the women's division, and she backed it up with an incredible performance at WrestleMania 22. That moment alone cemented her as a star, but her career only got stronger from there. Mickie was one of the most consistent and skilled performers of her era. She could wrestle anyone and make them look great, whether it was Trish, Lita, Beth Phoenix, or younger stars in later years. Her longevity is also insane--she stayed relevant across multiple eras. Even when WWE didn't always book her as strongly as they should have, she still delivered every time she was given an opportunity. Her impact on women's wrestling goes beyond WWE. In TNA/Impact, she became a legend in her own right, helping to elevate the Knockouts division and proving that she was more than just a WWE star--she was an all-time great. Mickie James' career is the definition of longevity, consistency, and passion"

[4.0] "Underrated character worker, overrated wrestler. Like the guy under me said, she botched a lot, but was above-average at a time women's wrestling in America wasn't high quality so she stood out a lot because of the low standard. Throughout her career, she hasn't been known for high-workrate matches, and it's not hard to see why... As far as matches go, throughout every company she's been to, (WWF/WWE, TNA) or wherever, she's always had to be carried by her ability to act like a crazy gal. Or, a hot country mom"

[5.0] "Good but a bit overrated, she was one of the best female WWE wrestlers at a time where almost all of them were terrible. Go rewatch her matches now & see it yourself "filled with botches" she can play a psycho very well but most of her time she performed a non entertaining & pointless characters."

[8.0] "Had a very memorable and iconic feud with Trish which I still love to this day. She was a good wrestler when most of the women were terrible but even now shes able to wrestle with actually talented female wrestlers."

[8.0] "Like Beth Phoenix, Mickie James arrived too early for the world of wrestling. She was already a wrestler during the diva era, and never lost any of her superb form. She can sell anything, can wear simple but effective characters, has a real passion for the business and is as effective as a manager as she is in the ring. If the WWE hadn't considered her a "Legend" or an old wrestler, she might have shone there more in recent years. I'm delighted that she's continuing her career with this success in another company and coming to make a few cameos from time to time (aka Royal Rumble)."

[8.0] "Great mic work, has been apart of some of the greatest storylines in Women's wrestling history (At least in the US at a time where women's wrestling was looked at very different. Mickie stood out and still does today wrestling at her age. Mickie isn't on par wrestling wise with some of the GOATs and that is why I set her at the good tier because she is good but not the best wrestling has to offer. If I were to give you a list of the 10 best womens wrestling matches ever MJ probably wouldn't show up... But she still is great!"

[5.0] "One of the few competent Women wrestlers when the lousy Divas were stinking up the mid 2000's but then the WWE felt to need to bury her in her last days there."

[8.0] "Mickie James is a complete package, in that she's great in the ring and on the mic and very charismatic, yet she was booked horribly for most of her career (her charisma is why she was always over no matter what). Every time she lost the women's or Divas title in WWE would soon be followed by a stretch where she was jobbing to everyone, and there was also a similar stretch in TNA where she didn't do much after losing her feud with Gail Kim until her heel turn in 2013. Her second WWE run should best be forgotten, similar to Gail's second run, as she was Alexa's lackey and took falls for all of Alexa's opponents, making a win over her mean nothing in the process. She is now being pushed in Impact, as she should be, as she can still go in the ring in her 40s."

[9.0] "Will go down in history as a legend and at the same time a very underrated overall performer, good in the ring, able to carry most of the people who needed a good match throughout her days in WWE and TNA, excelled with other talented performers, amazing on the mic no matter which alignment or character she was playing. Got better with age at all aspects."

[8.0] "Great female wrestler. Always gave a good match even with less than stellar opponents. In TNA she was a true star and legend. Played her characters well. On the mic she was really good."

[10.0] "She is a great wrestler and a great talker on the mic. Overall, Mickie James is a legend of the business."

[7.0] "Her stance on womens wrestling may be a bit jaded, but nonetheless she was and is a great wrestler, though her actions outside the ring do not reflect that."

[7.0] "An all-time great in american women's wrestling. Even in 2022, she still is a very capable performer. Given her current storyline with Impact, it seems like we're close to the end of her career. If that real, it's understandable - there just isn't much left for her to do other than put younger talents over."

[6.0] "Mickie James is kinda overrated here. Not so good in ring, she's nothing so special imo. Yea i accept she's legend and better than some of RA Era divas but still not that good."

[8.0] "One of the greatest divas/knockouts of all time. Mickie James is both a very good character worker and performer."

[4.0] "She's got confidence and charisma but can't say she's ever really had a memorable match or program in such a long career. That's the disadvantage of coming up in a time that wasn't great for women's wrestling in America, but even today when it's much better she doesn't really offer much."

[9.0] "Mickie James is unmatched in women's wrestling when it comes to performing at a high level. Can be considered a total package, in ring, character, promo skills and looks. All-time great as a babyface & a solid heel. Had unfortunate timing in that her most prominent run in WWE came at a time they were transitioning from the Trish/Lita/Victoria era to a more "Diva" bikini model era. Still, had legendary feuds with Trish, Lita, Victoria, Melina & Beth Phoenix. TNA run from 2010-13 showcased her in ring abilities, with a much more competent roster. Came back to WWE from an stint on the indies & having a child to having a classic match at NXT Takeover Toronto vs Asuka. Unfortunately, WWE managment wasted a return to Smackdown & Raw but Mickie carried Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax to the best matches of their careers while also having a fun series of matches with Becky Lynch. Her career up 2021, when WWE released her, would already place her as a 1st ballot hall of famer. Since her WWE release, Mickie has had quite possibly the most succesful year of her career. Starting with promoting an all-women's ppv that put WWE's half-hearted attempt to shame, Mickie embarked on one of the best feuds of the year with Deonna Purrazzo, having 2 knockdown drag out matches with her following an inspired in-ring return vs Kylie Rae. Now a 10x Women's World Champion w/ 24 total chanpionships won, Mickie is easily in the discussion for greatest North American women's wrestlers of all-time & belongs on any Mt. Rushmore of Women's wrestlers."

[10.0] "Stellar performer, always gives great facial expressions and sells so well for her opponents. Gave it her all in every storyline and should be remembered as one of the all time greats for decades to come."

[7.0] "Was never amazing in the ring but very competent throughout as a near top card act in WWE and whatnot. The issue was that she's just hadn't had any great feuds to talk about: outside of the rather dated Trish stuff, she's never had anything worth talking about, and her "5x Women's Champion" claim, while great on the surface, is marred by how terribly booked most of them are: most defences are trashy, sub-10 minute material, or just too short in general. She did better in TNA but if she wasn't wrestling someone competent, she definitely wasn't getting anything good. People said she was wasted on her return but I don't really agree: the evidence for this is having a good match with Asuka (which, well duh, it's Asuka) and some pretty mediocre material beyond that. She was always good, but by the late 2010's, being "good" in the women's division wasn't going to get you instant title shots like before. A good heel but never really bought her as a face. Decent ring work and great selling but she had a tendency to be sloppy in places, especially with her kicks. She's not terrible but I definitely think she's gotten overrated over the years based on a wrestling resume that's been inflated a bit."

[8.0] "TBH Mickie is someone I'd always overlooked and only now do I realise just how good she is from her feud with Trish and her TNA days. I never understood why WWE didn't utilise her effectively in her 2016-21 return, she wasn't even old and still looked great. Does the company forget that the likes of Sable, Debra, Ivory, Tori and Terri Runnels were all in their mid-30s and above when the WWE was trying to push them as sex symbols?"

[8.0] "Mickie James has carved a fantastic career for herself. I think her work with Trish Stratus was very strong, and she's been a credible wrestler for decades. She did great character work during a period where that wasn't as much of a focus in women's wrestling, and could work in the ring."

[9.0] "One of the all time modern day women in wrestling. Apart of notable segments, matches, and feuds everywhere she has been. Though she has slowed down, she is still a solid worker even at 41, and still great looking as well. Her recent WWE stints could have been better, as she still can wrestle at a relatively high level, so it sucks that she has often been used as either a jobber or a side kick. Has always been a big personality and a good talker, whether playing a crazy woman, self-absorbed, or country ass-kicker."

[6.0] "Solid worker, nothing special though, she had some success then her career died, she was a top star in a bare division"

[0.0] "She is a horrible person that treats fans like shit. Worst wrestler I have ever met. I have heard other stories where she treats fans like crap as well. She used to be a good wrestler, but now she is just a money hungry gold digger. As a wrestler years ago, she would get a good rating. But as a person and as a wrestler today she is horrible. Haven't enjoyed her matches since she's come back to WWE."

[6.0] "She was one of the best Diva. But divas were absolutely sh*t and 6 is too much for divas . James was good"

[6.0] "When Mickie first came in she was such a breath of fresh air. So few women at the time had interesting characters & Mickie's stalker persona was layered & they took time with it. It was one of the best things WWE had going at the time. Unfortunately, after he program with Trish concluded, they pretty much dropped it & quickly turned her into a bland babyface at breakneck speed. She was always decent in the ring, but I do think she might be a bit overrated. She Mick Kick has pretty much missed the mark every time she has tried it & her DDT only works about 50% of the time. Since her return to WWE, her character's motives usually don't make any sense. I chalk that up to WWE's creative team, but it still certainly hurts her as an overall retrospective is concerned."

[10.0] "So underrated it? s actually criminal she is probably the best wrestler on the raw women? s division her move set is so crisp and she? s so graceful in the ring it? s like she can wrestle in her sleep. She makes the most of the very little she is given and I hope she holds the title again if not I hope she can have one more big match to leave wwe on a high hopefully that won? t be for a while."

[9.0] "One of my favorite Divas during the time WWE insisted I call them that, Mickie James is a really good performer who kind of got lost in a lack-luster division. Her move to TNA gave her some new opponents, and a few good matches, but not she's backed to a stacked women's card. She isn't being given a huge spotlight now, but her matches are still entertaining and her legacy gives a little boost to whatever Women's champion happens to beat her."

[10.0] "One of the best in ring performers (WWE or TNA). Doing a great job in putting over the younger talent on RAW & SD! Live. Great on the mic. Love how much she has helped get Aexa Bliss over as a heel champion on both RAW & SD! Live. Would like to see her have a good title run before she decides to hang it up in WWE. Definitely a WWE Hall of Famer."

[10.0] "Mickie James at an age of 38 Years old can wrestle better than most women in the roster. She does a great job to put the young talent over. She had great matches everywhere she went whether if it's TNA, WWE, Or the indies she is so talented in the ring, so good in the mic. And one of the only woman that are charismatic ."

[8.0] "I have so much respect for mickie. She is one of very few good women wrestlers during the awful divas era. I feel bad for her during the piggy james storyline, just atrocious. Now back in wwe, she had a really good match with asuka and got good reaction. Then moved back to MR, she almost get no reaction. That's sad. She now put over trash like alexa lesnar over with being insulted as an old lady who can't beat anyone. Creative team fucks her up so hard. Still one of women wrestlers I'd call good. She deserves more."

[9.0] "I don't think anyone can argue that Mickie James is one of the best female wrestlers in history. I'm not even sure if there is much to say about her, because everything that could be said has been said. She is incredibly charismatic, she is not afraid to go for some very high risk moves, and is one of the best wrestlers currently working. In fact, She joins Charlotte Flair and Lita as some of the only female wrestlers who could wrestle and possibly defeat most men in the business. She is also quite attractive, which is not very important, but a plus nonetheless. The only reason she doesn't get a 10 is because she has a quite limited moveset, and the fact that I would say that she has never really put on a match that I would consider to be perfect or incredible. Also, while she was wrestling in the indies, she seemingly never lost, which was quite unbelivable to me. But that doesn't take away from the fact that she is truly one of the best."

[7.0] "Mickie James is a pretty good wrestler, and she has tons of charisma, energy and spunk. Her better work is easily as one of the bad girls, as she seems to stay in a more generic lane as a baby faced wrestler. Mickie's alright."

[8.0] "I've always greatly enjoyed watching Mickie James. She puts a lot into her performance and plays any character well, whether she's cast as a plucky country-girl babyface, arrogant heel or psychotic stalker. Has had many memorable matches and rivalries against the likes of Trish Stratus, Victoria/Tara, Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim, Katie Lea/Winter and many others. Likeable, well-rounded in the ring, charismatic and attractive - it's easy to see why she quickly becomes a centerpiece of any women's division she competes in."

[9.0] "The lesbo country girl has (almost) always entertained me, no matter what it is she was doing. Her feud with Trish back in 2005/2006 was fantastic and she's had her moments in TNA with good matches with Winter and Madison Rayne. Overall an impeccable worker and one of the best women's wrestlers of the 2000's era."

[9.0] "What can I say, she is one of the best lady wrestlers in the business today."

[9.0] "Without a doubt one of the best lady wrestlers in the world. Her record of accomplishments speaks for itself and enjoyed watching her achieve many of those accomplishments."

[7.0] "About as good an American female wrestler there's been in the WWE. Was great in promos during the Trish feud, but not so much in the following years. Still does well in the ring even when given limited time."

[8.0] "Mickie James is a beautiful woman, and a solid wrestler. She has the talent, and the charisma, as well as the fan support. Her problem however is staying relevant, and doing something new. Mickie James has used the same moves for the past few years. She needs to expand her moveset or else she will lose the fans."
