During the early part of her career, Mickie James worked with Raven in TNA Wrestling.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Under the Ring” podcast, the former Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion commented on how much Raven helped her and how he changed her perception of wrestling. She said,
“To be able to go down there and sit under Raven’s learning tree, and if you’ve ever listened to Raven or had a conversation with Raven, he goes very in-depth. He’s super cerebral in how he analyzes everything, it was cool because it made me think about wrestling in a whole different way.”
She continued, “It was an amazing thing for me because I was still new and I knew how to do the moves, but I didn’t know the first thing of why I was doing any of them. He helped me have a better understanding of the in ring performance, but also the business side and behind the scenes because a lot of work gets done behind the scenes.”
