Mickie James Talks Becoming Pregnant As a Wrestler
Former WWE and TNA Champion Mickie James was the recent guest on Vince Russo’s “THE BRAND” podcast which you can check out via PodcastOne. Below are some quotes from James during the interview:
As a woman becoming pregnant in the wrestling industry:
“At a point you accept it and embrace it. It is kind of scary because you’re watching your body transform. And the whole time your thinking, ‘am I going to be able to get it back to where it was?’ Especially because our business is so cosmetic as it is. Especially females. It’s all about looks.”
How she broke the news to her husband Nick Aldis (Magnus) about the pregnancy:
“He was on the road with TNA, he was the Champ at the time, and we were in Texas for Valentine’s Day for the loop. And . . . you just kinda know. I guess I had known, or felt like I might have been for a while, but you know–you just don’t want to accept it. So, I went back to the room and took a test and it was–HOLY CRAP, I’M PREGNANT! So, I went back to the store, bought another test, and took it again. So, I took a picture of the test, texted it to Nick and said, ‘Happy Valebtine’s Day!'”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
