Ex-WWE star Mickie James publicly makes a heartbreaking confession

Former WWE Superstar Mickie James has made a heart-wrenching confession on her X/Twitter handle. She looked back at her pro wrestling career and wrote about her strengths and weaknesses.

James will go down as one of the greatest female stars in the history of pro wrestling. She was once an insanely popular star in WWE's women's division and feuded with the likes of Trish Stratus and Lita. She also did well for herself in TNA Wrestling.

In a new tweet welcoming 2025, Mickie James made a confession while looking back at her career and also about her future goals.

Check out an excerpt from her emotional message:

"Once upon a time, my only goal was to go down in history at (sic) one of the greatest women’s wrestler of all time. To make a change in the business for everyone. Man and woman alike. Although some may say I have done that, I still always find myself not quite good enough, worthy, disappointed, & coming up short in a completely subjective world that I truly had no power or control over. I thought it was something one earned with hard work, raw talent, passion, and ability. But my inability to politic or to get it in a way that would soil the glory of it all was perhaps my greatest strength and weakness."

Mickie James' iconic feud with Trish Stratus in WWE

Mickie James made her WWE debut way back in late 2005 and kicked off a storyline with Trish Stratus. James' gimmick was that of Stratus' biggest fan and she was beyond obsessed with the WWE Hall of Famer.

The angle took a shocking turn on The Road to WrestleMania 22, with James turning on Stratus and attacking her. At The Show of Shows, the two stars battled it out in what many fans described as one of the greatest female bouts in the history of WrestleMania. That night, James defeated Trish to win her first WWE Women's Title.
