Mickie James Rumors

[Astrozombie]

Mickie James made her TNA debut just a few days ago - but we received word from two people who were backstage at Bound For Glory that she's already making diva demands and is getting a reputation as difficult to work with.

Mickie James was reportedly very upset before Bound For Glory because her Mickie James logo was not on the back of the referee shirt she was given to wear during the Knockouts match.

Mickie was so mad that she was given a plain referee shirt (without her personal logo on the back) that she refused to go out on camera unless the logo was added.

One of TNA's designers reportedly rushed to get the logo on the shirt and sewed it on just in time for the match to go on as planned.

Micke's Response:

I usually don't even bother to entertain ignorance. But to report blatant lies is quite humorous... Anyone who knows me... Knows I would never behave like that... And they also know I respect & appreciate everyone as we all work hard as a team to make an incredible product. Fact! The seamstress already knew she was putting the logo on the shirt Thursday. Fact. I bought a ref shirt to make but when Earl gave me one of his official TNA shirts I couldn't resist. Fact. Post match I gave the shirt to the trading card company to be cut up and added to the new cards coming soon. =)

Yea I don't know her personally but I never got a "diva" vibe from her (i.e. any of her tweets or interviews). I met Victoria in person once at a signing and she was as sweet as cherry pie. I think people can put on airs when in an uncomfortable situation but I also believe that if some of these girls were as bitchy as some of the rumors make them out to be we would be able to detect some of that in real life situation (i.e. autograph signing etc).

Agreed. What makes it even harder to believe is the timing, she just signed with the company, the last thing she'd want to do is make a bad impression.

There's also the chance that other girls/employees in the company are threatened by her presence so they feel the need to resort to petty rumor starting as a solution.
