And they&#8217;ve been around the business. Booker has his own school. Bubba has his own school. Taker pretty much schooled the entire locker room for decades. So I&#8217;m like, where do I fit in here?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On revealing who will induct her into the TNA Hall of Fame<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;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&#8217;ve asked her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On her career longevity and the advice she received early on:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If anything, they were like, &#8216;You&#8217;ll get five years tops as a female. That&#8217;s it. That&#8217;s what you get.&#8217; And then it&#8217;s next chapter. So if you get an opportunity to make it to TV, make the most of it, because it&#8217;s gonna be short and sweet, because that&#8217;s just how women&#8217;s careers were. So then you think about it now, to go whoa, the to have this type of longevity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On how creating &#8220;Hardcore Country&#8221; in TNA made her fall in love with wrestling again:<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-118743541\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;To get this opportunity to go to TNA, I don&#8217;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&#8217;d ever been&#8230; it almost reminded me of how much I love wrestling and why I love wrestling&#8230; It made me almost fall in love with wrestling all over again, and a whole new journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the full interview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aYFbh3Pv05I\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PWT Talks NXT - PWTorch NXT Post Show (9\/30) w\/Kelly Wells &amp; Nate Lindberg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WN-eLIQ6xfE?start=1942&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1368115890\"><div id=\"pwtor-3303870752\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Mickie James spoke about her role as a coach on LFG with Undertaker, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Booker, among other topics, in an interview on\u00a0&#8220;The Velvet Ropes with SoCal Val.&#8221; She also talked about her <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2025\/10\/06\/mickie-james-talks-about-wondering-how-she-fit-in-on-the-lfg-show-with-undertaker-booker-and-bubba\/\" title=\"Mickie James confesses she wondered how she fit in on the LFG show with Undertaker, Booker, and Bubba\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4,8,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-205578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_tna","category-news_women","category-news_wwe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/JamesMickieGG_3x2_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205578"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205578\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":205581,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205578\/revisions\/205581"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
