WWE Veteran Mickie James recently appeared as special guest on GAW TV with Lisa Marie Varon and So Cal Val and discussed about numerous topics. She said that she had pitched many ideas but they didn’t came to fruition.
Mickie James also pitched the idea of having all female brand lead by women team but one person in the company stated that they never going do it and women’s wrestling doesn’t make money.
“Anything I’ve pitched, they weren’t into it. I wanted to find a balance in between,” Mickie James said. “There was this moment where I said, ‘What if we do an all-female brand?’ If I could help lead up that and have an awesome team of women….we have the talent, tools, and facilities. It would really help all the girls who are not getting television time. This one person says to me, ‘They’re never going to do it. Ever. Women’s wrestling doesn’t make money. WWE Evolution was the lowest-rated PPV ever in WWE.
I get what you’re trying to do, but I don’t understand why you’re fighting so hard for it. You should play the cards you’re dealt and see if there’s a way to incorporate that within a show rather than fight for it to be its own show.’ I just realized that every decision they do, a lot of it is business and how it falls in line with business. I’m just disappointed as a whole with being made to feel old with Depends and a walker and the whole ageism thing. I think we missed out on a lot of moments.”
The six-time women’s champion Mickie James also revealed that WWE Boss Vince McMahon called her and apologized for the trash bag incident. Vince also stated that it wasn’t what he thought of her.
“I felt because I was asking for this one thing, it was going to come with a price,” James continued. “I’m not saying that’s from Vince because he’s always been respectful to me. He called me on the phone to apologize for this incident and to let me know that this isn’t what he thought of me. I tagged Vince because he needs to know. There’s a lot of stuff that happens under his nose that he is oblivious to because he’s running a multi-billion dollar company.
The small-minded mentality sometimes leads to thoughtless behavior. Especially for me, to constantly be presented as old, when I’m 41 years old and every single male champion has always been my same age or older and has been glorified for those reasons. As they should be, they’re amazing. Why is it different for women or for me? Ageism is a real thing and it’s bulls***.”

Micike James also stated that the person responsible for trying to devalue her or sabotage her is still employed in the company.
“The fans were way more offended than I was,” James said.” The person who is responsible for me feeling like s*** and trying to devalue me or sabotage me or make me feel less than is still very much employed.” (H/T: Fightful)
