Mickie James would like to face off with a familiar foe before she retires.
Mickie James has had a greatly successful career in the squared circle. She has wrestled in a variety of promotions around the world, most notably WWE and IMPACT where she is a multiple time women’s champion. Her career is winding down now as she has been on her “Last Rodeo” tour to close out her career.
During a recent appearance on the Alliance Pro Wrestling Network podcast, Mickie James said she would always say yes to the possibility of wrestling Gail Kim again. James says she’s asked, but Gail isn’t interested in coming out of retirement for a match with anyone.
“Gail is not coming out of retirement to wrestle anyone. I’ve already asked her, okay? I’ve already asked. No, I’m just kidding,” said James. “I mean, I have, of course, I’ve asked her. I’m like, ‘Come on, Gail,’ but Gail, and you know, a lot of this, Last Rodeo was a conversation and even talking to Gail of, ‘How do you want your career to be remembered?’ To come out of retirement, I think, the first time for her — It’s going to have to be something remarkable. It’s going to have to be something good. Once you’ve done something so special to end your career — unless it was something you weren’t proud of, you’re not going to come back for anything that’s not going to top it or be better than.”

Of course, with Gail being retired it appears that James will not get her wish of being able to wrestle Kim.
James has also said that she would like to face Mercedes Moné in singles competition before her full time retirement from the ring.
