She is one of WWE’s most decorated stars, and is far from done yet. Since making her WWE debut in 2005, Mickie has continued to evolve as a talented and relevant WWE Superstar. When all is said and done, Charlotte Flair may not just be WWE’s greatest female, but WWE’s Greatest superstar.Īccurately placing Mickie James on a list of WWE’s greatest female grapplers is no mean feat because of the many contributions she has made to the industry. Her aerial offence seems to defy gravity as she twists and turns through the air, toppling her foes with grace and poise. This former gymnast, and Muscle & Fitness Hers cover star, has dreams of being part of the first ever all-female WrestleMania main event and the momentum certainly seems to be building amongst WWE fans for this to happen. In doing so, Charlotte has not only proved worthy to be following in her father’s footsteps, but in many ways has overtaken him, and Ric couldn’t be prouder.The current WWE SmackDown women’s champion has held a world title in WWE on no less than eight occasions and much like her dad, “Slick Ric,” Charlotte is as adept at working the crowd as she is performing technically sound moves in the ring. But Charlotte set about reflecting her father’s best traits and becoming a valid superstar in her own right. The shadow that Ric must have inadvertently cast on his daughter Charlotte as she trained to become a WWE Superstar must have been quite the burden to bear.
If you ask any pro wrestling aficionado to name the greatest grappler of all time, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair will be at the top, or close to it. She officially retired in 2006, but after an appearance at the first Women’s Royal Rumble, and with a return match scheduled against Alexa Bliss at Evolution, there’s plenty more “Stratus-faction” to come. Trish is a former seven-time women’s champion, and one-time WWE Hardcore Champion. During her career, this girl from Ontario earned many accomplishments with pure grit and a hardworking attitude that pro wrestling fans respected greatly. It was a dangerous fall for anyone to take and showed her commitment to being an active part of the WWE roster. In the years that followed, Trish continued to excel thanks to her magnetic charisma and constantly improving ring skills. Originally cast as a valet, Trish was eager to prove herself as more than just a pretty face. Far from standing back and looking pretty, Trish found herself in the thick of the action when she was slammed through a table by the Dudley Boyz at BackLash in her debut year. When fitness model, Trish Stratus burst onto the WWE scene back in 2000, few could have predicted that this beauty would become one of WWE’s most beloved wrestling superstars, crushing stereotypes along the way. Mickie was a key player in the first ever Women’s Elimination Chamber match and, now back on Monday Night RAW, continues to show boundless energy, proving that she’s still hungry for another run with the championship. Since then, Mickie’s importance to WWE, and women’s pro wrestling in general, cannot be overstated. Mickie returned to WWE in 2016 after an impressive outing with Asuka and was quickly re-signed to the SmackDown roster where she became a friend of Alexa Bliss and has no doubt been able to provide advice and experience to the younger protégé. She is one of WWE’s most decorated stars, and is far from done yet.Many fans will remember Mickie for her sexually charged storyline with Trish Stratus which climaxed with a win over Trish to take the WWE women’s championship at WrestleMania 22. Accurately placing Mickie James on a list of WWE’s greatest female grapplers is no mean feat because of the many contributions she has made to the industry.
