WWE: 10 Reasons Why We Love Mickie James

3. The Original Crazy Chick

Wrestlemania 22 - Mickie James vs Trish Stratus...by RatedREdgeHead316 "Do you love me now?" - Mickie yelling at Trish. Mickie's behavior leading up to the match against Trish Stratus at WrestleMania 22 was not normal at all. Mickie's portrayal of the crazy, obsessed Trish Stratus fan from October 2005 to March 2006 was some of the best character direction in WWE diva history. In fact, I think it was definitely the best. In past interviews, Mickie has said that she pitched the idea to Vince McMahon when she was still in WWE's developmental system. Vince loved it, so that's how it all began. The fact that Mickie played a part in the angle development makes it that much better because it shows that she's more than just an in-ring performer. She's somebody that was totally invested in the character she was playing because it was her idea too. Everything they did building up to the WrestleMania match was great. From Mickie kissing Trish under the mistletoe to the jealousy of Trish's boyfriend and even the shower scene when Mickie gave her that title while complimenting Trish in a very direct way. It was all really well done. The final angle they did to really build it up saw Mickie tie up Ashley Massaro and put her under a box in the ring. Ashley was tied to a chair. Trish came out for the save, but ended up with a bloody nose and Mickie nailed her with a huge DDT. Then Mickie gave her one more kiss except this time it was bloody. The blood was accidental, but it only made Mickie seem that much crazier. "My new obsession is your destruction." It was so evil, yet so entertaining too.
