I got the Wrestlemania 22 DVD for Christmas, and I was watching the Trish-Mickie match. I also watched the SNME episode that's on there where Mickie turned heel on Trish. I came to a disturbing realization for me: Mickie's current character is not even a fraction as interesting and entertaining nowadays as she used to be.
Don't misread this - I still am a huge Mickie fan and I support her entirely. The problem is, WWE basically took away everything about her character that people fell in love with and now she is just a generic babyface.
And I refuse to believe that it was simply turning her face that caused this to happen. Go back to when she first debuted on Raw, back when she was Trish's sidekick. Mickie was a babyface then, but she was different. She used to wear those colorful outfits, skip down the entrance ramp, and wear tons of bracelets and stuff like she was a carefree teenage girl. That was the Mickie that got 95+ pages of people on here stating that "I think I am in love with Mickie James".
Then the heel turn did come, and Mickie started acting like a crazed psycho. Dare I suggest she was a more convincing psycho than my other favorite diva Victoria. With stuff like the bloody kiss to Trish, the Trish shrine, and the kidnapping of Ashley, Mickie was probably the most interesting character on the whole show to me.
Then Trish left, and they basically "neutered" Mickie. She is no longer psycho. She no longer wears fun colorful outfits. She no longer cuts interesting promos. It's like WWE wanted a "Replacement Trish", and so now Mickie has become a generic good looking smiling babyface diva..... and that's basically it.
Anyway I just had to rant on that. To the MickieManiacs who may be reading this, trust me... I am still one of you. It's just that I feel like WWE took the one character that I really dug, and they took it away.
