I gotta change it in my bio. It feels amazing. I&#8217;m super humbled, and I think, you know, you spend your whole career trying to be humble and all that other stuff. And it&#8217;s like the one night you can kind of pat yourself on the back, but it&#8217;s super uncomfortable to do it. But still, it&#8217;s always incredible, I think, when you&#8217;re recognized for your contributions to the company or to any business, and for TNA to do that for me, I was incredibly honored.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On being able to use her real name in WWE:<\/b> &#8220;I was Alexis Laree in OVW. I just love the name Alexis, and Laree is my legit middle name, so that&#8217;s how that name came about. But I&#8217;m about to debut this crazy stalker character, and Vince [McMahon] is like, \u2018What&#8217;s her name? Alexis Laree? I don&#8217;t like that name. It sounds like a stripper name.&#8217; And I&#8217;m like, Oh, guess it does, doesn&#8217;t it? Yeah, okay. He&#8217;s like, \u2018Well, got anything else? Got any other names?&#8217; And I was like, \u2018Uh, Mickie James?&#8217; [He said] \u2018I love it.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t say, Oh, it&#8217;s my real name. I was like, Oh, okay, great. So I was able, and probably one of the last few people, to actually be able to use their real name. I was able to use my real name. Crazy! And how grateful I am for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On who is her biggest rival:<\/b> &#8220;Trish [Stratus], for sure, every day, all day, even still. I think about how we&#8217;ve not had really a chance to do a whole bunch, but even like that Rumble moment, where we had a chance and the people just erupted. And I think that that says it all, and that was such a validation that what we did then still holds true and still connects today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On that moment in her WrestleMania 22 match with Trish Stratus:<\/b> &#8220;[The backstage reaction] was not good. I mean, the people loved it. The reaction, in my opinion, I made the right choice, in my humble opinion. Not what I expected. So I had asked Steve Keirn. Steve Keirn was our agent. I had asked Steve Keirn, \u2018Can I lick my finger?&#8217; Because we had already had the crotch grab spot. We&#8217;re gonna do it. So we knew we were going to do the vag grab. You think about the whole story. I have pretended to be Trish. I have accused her boyfriend of terrible crimes. I have kidnapped Ashley Massaro, I have stalked her in the shower, her home. I have done many things, tried to kiss her on numerous occasions, access denied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So we&#8217;re at WrestleMania, and I&#8217;m like, all the things that we&#8217;ve done to lead to this, and they want this moment. I&#8217;m like, okay. I felt like that&#8217;s what anybody would have done in that moment, after all that. Finally, you got, I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m not going to go there. That&#8217;s a little too crass, even for me. But I also thought, you know. So I had asked if I could lick my finger. Clearly, that&#8217;s not what I did. He was like, \u2018Lick your finger?&#8217; I was like, Well, yeah, I mean, wouldn&#8217;t I? I&#8217;ve been trying to get my hands on her forever. This would be my dream come true, right? And he&#8217;s like, \u2018I will see.&#8217; I went away, and he comes back, and he goes, \u2018Yeah, okay, I think you can lick your fingers.&#8217; Fine, whatever. Sorry, Steve Keirn. So that&#8217;s not what I did, and I did this actually, I think it was more like this [does gesture]. It was a double, so they made sure they saw it, because my hands aren&#8217;t big enough, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought in my heart and in my soul, I honestly believed I was going to walk back through that curtain, and I had never received a high five. I&#8217;d seen other women get high fives from Vince and thumbs up and all these things. I got a thumbs-up before. I got a few thumbs up. I thought I was going to get the biggest hug of a lifetime, and fist bumps, maybe even a hoist on a shoulder, and out the door, something for being so brilliant. It&#8217;s not what happened at all. Go back through the curtain, and Vince is pissed. He&#8217;s like, \u2018That was crass! Do you know what we&#8217;re gonna have to do? How much money it&#8217;s gonna cost to edit that and to pull it from everything? We&#8217;re a publicly traded company! What are you thinking?&#8217; So if you can imagine the high of a lifetime and then walking through and just shanked right through the curtain, I was like, Ooft! But clearly he didn&#8217;t hate me too much, because I still was the champion, so maybe deep down he really loved it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2235231858\" class=\"prowr-after-content
