7 Reasons Mickie James Deserves WWE Hall Of Fame Induction

2. Her Feud With Trish Stratus May Be The Best Divas Rivalry Ever

It seems like every year around WrestleMania, fans reminisce about the best moments from the biggest wrestling event of the year. When the topic of best divas feud comes up, most people bring up the battle between Trish Stratus and Mickie James at WrestleMania 22 in Chicago. There were so many great things to love about the match from the crowd cheering Mickie even though she was the heel to the controversial spots where Mickie was feeling frisky and€well€let's just leave it at that. The finish wasn't perfect because they slipped on the Stratusfaction bulldog, but everything else went off without a hitch as Mickie beat Trish to become the new Women's Champion for the first time. It wasn't just the match that was special, though. The six months of build was unlike anything we had ever seen for a divas match at WrestleMania. There hasn't been one since either. From the promos where Mickie came off as this crazy chick yelling "do you love me now" at Trish to the bloody kiss in the ring there were so many things that made it work. There were so many elements that helped that rivalry evolve into something that was really special. It's been eight years and people still talk about James vs. Stratus as a diva rivalry unlike any sother. That's a big reason why James is worthy of Hall of Fame consideration too. When you can create history like they did, it will live on forever.
