Is Mickie James Gay?

Mickie Laree James (born August 31, 1979), is an American professional wrestler and singer of mixed Native American-Caucasian descent, currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where she is a former two-time TNA Women's Knockout Champion.

James began her professional wrestling career in 1999 as a valet on the independent circuit, where she was known under the name Alexis Laree. She trained in several camps to improve her wrestling abilities before working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in June 2002, where she gained national attention. After only a few appearances, she joined a stable called The Gathering and was written into storylines with the group. She is also the only woman to be involved in Clockwork Orange House of Fun matches.


On Top Of
Trish Stratus
James appeared in WWE in October 2005 and was placed in a storyline with Trish Stratus, in which James' gimmick was that of Stratus' biggest fan turned obsessed stalker, an angle which lasted almost a year. She received a push, and she won her first WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 22, a title she has held a total of five times. James also won her first Divas Championship at Night of Champions in 2009 to become the second Diva to hold both the Women's and Divas titles. She, however, was released from the company on April 22, 2010, after which she returned to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Between WWE and TNA, James is an eight-time champion, and is also the only female to hold the WWE Women's, WWE Divas and TNA Knockout Championships in wrestling history.


James' first country music album, Strangers & Angels, was released on May 18, 2010 on iTunes. On December 2, 2010, James released a new country single called, "Hardcore Country" which is also used as her TNA theme song. For her second album, James joined a Kickstarter campaign in order to partially fund the album. Fans who contributed donations will receive special items from the campaign. The online campaign was a success, with a total pledge of $16,500 out of a $5,000 goal. James has currently wrapped up recording her second album, which will be released in 2012.

James owns three Morgan horses named Rhapsody, Bunny and Casanova. After she has finished her wrestling career, James plans to own a farm and be an equine trainer. James also owns two dogs, one named Butch and the other named Elvis.

I've often wondered if Mickie was chosen for the whole storyline with Trish because she was actually gay. She played a character that had a lesbian crush on the Woman's Champion and she played that role very well. She stalked Trish, she told Trish that she loved her, and she even kissed Trish. During their match at Wrestlemania, Mickie even grabbed Trish inappropriately in-between her legs. I assumed that was planned but Mickie has said in interviews that it wasn't and that she actually got in trouble from Vince for doing it.

One of her finishing moves involved pulling the other woman's hair and head back and giving her a big kiss before she goes for the win. This move has even been featured in the Smackdown vs Raw video games. I know kissing isn't unheard of between the women in wrestling... Trish has also kissed Lita, Tara would kiss her tag-team partner Tessmacher in TNA. But Mickie made a habit of doing it with every women she wrestled.

Maybe its all just in my head, but even watching her in TNA now she always seems to be a little more friendly with all the other Knockouts in the company. Furthermore, she has never been involved in any storylines with any male wrestlers, only with other women. 

It was rumored that she dated Joey Mercury, and was engaged to Kenny Dykstra... 
but if those rumours are true then she isn't a lesbian... but she has the worst taste in men lol.
