Mickie James She has been working in recent months as WWE LFG coach, which has made fans wonder if she would be willing to assume a creative role in wrestling one day. James He has revealed if he would really be willing to assume a creative role in the future.
In an interview with Denise Salcedo, Mickie James was asked if he had ever considered assuming a creative role behind bambalins in a wrestling promoter. He revealed that, at this point in his career, he would love to do it. He pointed out that, in the past, he did not even seem possible for women to occupy those positions. James He pointed out that leadership roles for women in wrestling are increasingly common, and that change has opened his eyes to new possibilities.
“Yes, I think I would say that I would love to have a creative role. We simply reach a point where we thought that was possible for a woman. In the past there were not many women in those papers. I did not have many women to admire, apart from the ones I saw and knew they were my idols or mentors and others. But as for leadership positions, there were no. And now yes. And that is becoming more normal. Luckily, there are more and more women in important positions in the industry. So now I think: 'Yes, of course'. And you have to ask: 'What are my strengths?' I can help in psychology. “
However, what is most excited is the development of characters. Mickie James explained that he is especially passionate about helping talents to connect so deeply with his character that they can fully embody it at any time and, what is equally important, to know how to disconnect from that character when necessary.
“What I really like, is the development of the character. Yes. And that part, of being so in tune with your character that you can turn it on and be herself at any time. And turn it off. That is the key. You have to turn it off again. “
Mickie James also talked about her experience as the only female coach on WWE LFG, where she worked alongside the wrestling legends Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley and The Undertaker. James revealed how to be surrounded by members of the Hall of Fame made her wonder if she was worthy of being there.
“I tested many times, I even wondered if I was worthy of being training with these guys”James admitted while Booker T and Bubba Ray have established wrestling schools that have formed the best television talents, James felt a bit rare.”It was strange to me, I have no school. I have attended some seminars, you know, the master class. I have done that and little more”.
Despite his doubts, James forged a deeper connection with Booker T, whom he praised to keep her animated. “I think I approached Booker T. I made me laugh every day“. As for The Undertaker, James said he met a different facet of the man who was known as WWE costume leader.” You know, Bubba, Taker … I think I got to know Undertaker from a different perspective than that really … I had only seen him as judge of the jury of the costumes, he was the leader, do you know? But then meeting him and feeling like an equal, it was very special“
Mickie James also reflected on being the only coach who was not a member of the Hall of Fame. “They were all members of the WWE Hall of Fame. I was the only one who was not and, in addition, the only woman coach,” concluded WWE's women's former champion.
Mickie James will not continue as a WWE LFG coach next season. Instead, The Undertaker's wife, Michelle McCool, will occupy his position. This is a significant change for the technical body of the program.
