Wrestler Mickie James Changes Horses
Published June 21, 2010

Most country stars sing about broken hearts, but this one has a song about
breaking bones!
WWE female wrestling champ Mickie James came on FOX & Friends to promote her
first country music album, "Strangers and Angels."
"I have kind of reached the pinnacle of wrestling… and I wanted to try
something new," she told FOX & Friends. "It was something I had always
dreamed of doing since I was a little girl."
James said she was "starting from scratch" and "opening whole new chapter
and a brand new journey" with her career change.

The wrestler/singer said she was influenced by listening to classic country
stars like Willie Nelson and Tim McGraw growing up.
"My stepfather was a country music fan, and I grew up on a horse farm, so
the older country, that's what he listened to," she said.
James said she wrote three of the songs on her first album. One of the
tracks is apparently about kicking butt in the ring, but the "rough and
rowdy" song is apparently so rough and rowdy, she couldn't say its title on
air!
