Mickie James, the newest entrant into the TNA Hall of Fame, has written a touching statement thanking various people from TNA’s past and present for the honour.
James was inducted into the Hall of Fame by one other former WWE and TNA star, Victoria, alongside The Beautiful People’s Angelina Love and Velvet Sky, as a part of the category of 2025. Following the induction, which was held at Sure For Glory, James thanked a number of individuals, including TNA co-founder and current AEW star, Jeff Jarrett, former TNA President Dixie Carter, current TNA President Carlos Silva, TNA legend Tommy Dreamer, and the one who inducted her, Victoria. She said that the Hall of Fame was a humbling moment, and even had a message for the present TNA Knockout division.
“Standing on that stage and being welcomed into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame was some of the humbling and magical moments of my profession,” she said. “To all the Knockouts Division — past, present, and future — you’re the guts and soul of this company. You’ve got broken barriers, told stories, and made magic each time you stepped through those ropes. I’m so proud to face beside you all. And eventually, to the fans — you have been with me through every high, every low, every reinvention and each return. Your love, your chants, your unwavering support… it means the world. I would not be here without you ❤️ This honor is not just mine — it’s ours. 🤠”
