Mickie James Touts TNA For “Making Her Fall In Love With Wrestling”, Reveals Who Will Induct Her & The Beautiful People Into TNA Hall Of Fame
Back on September 22nd, TNA officially announced that former five-time TNA/IMPACT Knockouts World Champion Mickie James will be inducted into the TNA Hall Of Fame.
Two days later on September 24th, TNA Head of Talent Relations Tommy Dreamer was hosting Busted Open Radio with Angelina Love and Velvet Sky as his guests when TNA President Carlos Silva came on and revealed that both women would also be joining Mickie James in the TNA Hall of Fame.
At the time, the inductors were not known, on an update to that situation, both have been revealed today.
In a new interview with WrestlingNewsCo, Mickie James spoke about heading to TNA, noting that she almost fell in love with wrestling all over again as a result.
“To get this opportunity to go to TNA, I don’t even think I recognized how awesome it was gonna be until I got there, and I was able to create and be probably my most authentic self in the wrestling ring than I’d ever been… it almost reminded me of how much I love wrestling and why I love wrestling… It made me almost fall in love with wrestling all over again, and a whole new journey.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Mickie revealed who would be inducting her into the TNA Hall Of Fame.
Mickie James has selected Victoria (Lisa Mrie Varon aka Tara in TNA) to induct her into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame.
“You’re going to be pleased with this as someone who was pretty synonymous with the whole in production of hardcore country. I think that we made some incredible, historic moments together, and that would be our dear friend, Lisa Marie. I’ve asked her,” James revealed while speaking to So Cal Val on The Velvet Ropes.
