Mickie James spoke with Landon Buford of The Hype Magazine to discuss various topics including her next big match.
WWE has already announced that James will take on WWE Hall of Famer Lita at the Evolution pay-per-view event that takes place on Sunday, October 28, 2018 in Long Island, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
James brought up how Lita has been a big influence on her career even before she signed with the WWE as they met while she was working the independent scene in North Carolina. James talked about Lita helping her out and gave her advance about what to do and what not to do in the ring
“Lita has so much knowledge she really paved the way both in the ring and how she’s made money. She was able to separate herself. Before Lita, women weren’t doing moonsaults, hurricanrana, and other highflying maneuvers. I think she really changed the game in the women’s division. I’m excited to work with her and to maybe give these young girls a little competition.”
The former WWE Women’s Champion also spoke about Flair where she noted that Flair is incredible especially being that this wasn’t her dream and that she was totally content with the life she was living at the time before her brother, Reid, passed away. James brought up how that was what pushed Flair to go full force and pursue a career in wrestling after his passing.
“Obviously, Ric flair’s shoes are such big shoes to fill…. She recognizes that she’s going to be constantly compared to her father and she wants to be at least perceived somewhat on that same level. Obviously, she’s done well for herself thus far.”
