If Mickie James Showed Up in ROH Today.

[skulldouggory]

Now I know that this would very unlikely happen. Mickie James has been to some AAW,PWX and NEW shows, but I know that with Cornette in ROH and how the new ownership has put a stop to a lot of guest spots in ROH these days.

But hypothetically, how exactly do you believe the crowd would react if Mickie showed up in ROH in a surprise spot?

The only two ways i can see her being involved with a storyline is if either, Maria agreed to get in the ring and Mickie was tagged with whoever Bennett was feuding with at the time. Or if SDR was invited back to ROH to do a one off match with Mickie. And considering both of those are unlikely to happen.

But what i was wondering is, with Mickie being one of the ROH originals, being with the company for a good part of both 2002 and 2003, How would the surprise one shot go over with the fans?

Would the ROH fans...

1. Cheer her insanely because she is a ROH original

2. Cheer her because she is a huge star, forgetting her roots and focusing on her being a big deal who has been all over WWE and TNA TV for the last 7 years.

3. Crap on her because she is a TNA star. Not remembering that she was an ROH Original.

4. Crap on her because her ring work has been slightly sloppy and she has been given a "cena like push" since joined TNA.

Considering guys like Paul London & Low Ki didn't make a huge return to ROH due to heat with the company, It is not uncommon for names who made it big in WWE to not have their big return welcome home to the company that put them on WWE's radar. While guys like Joey Matthews & Spanky returned in short appearances whilst between returning to WWE or moving to TNA.

The only guy i can think of who got their huge welcome back was Colt Cabana.

Then there is the question, how much of a percentage of today's ROH fanbase have been around since 2002? With the Feinstein fallout, Gabe being sacked, Pearce's booking and the Sinclair buy out all changing the way and feel of ROH does ROH to you still feel like the company that ran it's first shows 10 years ago.

The crowd would pop a collective boner.

There would be even more creepy fans in the crowd.

There would be at least one guy saying "Her name is Alexis Laree!"

When SDR was in ROH more regularly, as in early 2011, they could have easily brought Mickie in for a DVD taping, but even still they would have had to have paid TNA an obscene amount, and have Mickie go over. I guess they would wait until Mickie left TNA, and then hope they have a good budget to bring her in. I'm sure the long time fans would remember her ROH past.

A lot of "f*** TNA" chants.

If she showed up and gave an effort (i.e., the opposite of what she's done in TNA and her last 18 months in WWE) the fans would be fine with it. If she shows up and goes through the TNA/WWE motions in a match they'd crap all over it.

That is really all there is to it with ROH fans, show up, give it your all and have respect for them and they don't care where you've been or what you've done.

Beside Colt, Daniels, Homicide, the Young Bucks and Hernandez were all welcomed back off the top of my head and then people like Matt Hardy, Rhino, Storm, Maria, WGTT were all welcomed fine. The reaction to people like Jeff Hardy and Konnan is far from the norm and happened because of they half assed everything and were only there for a quick buck.

I had no idea she was an ROH original, that's awesome.

She would need to try very hard.
