Pre-Diva Days
Mickie Laree James was born on August 31, 1979 in Montpelier, Virginia. Despite the same name, she is not directly related to the James/Armstrong wrestling family. Mickie started out as a typical farm girl, riding horses and working with her father and sister, Latoya. She also watched a lot of professional wrestling with her father. Virginia was, at the time, one of the biggest hot beds of wrestling action. James also spent some time working as a dancer, before making her career choice of pro wrestling.
