Tonight, TNA recognizes Mickie James for her extraordinary contributions to TNA and to Professional Wrestling by way of her induction into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Key word: CONTRIBUTIONS.
This woman has endured hardships, setbacks and unfair treatment at different times in her career that would have put a lot of people in therapy for the rest of their life, but she didn't complain, she didn't bitch and she didn't play politics. She laced 'em up tight and kept moving forward.
Moved on to another territory.
Learned a new hold. Reinvented herself.
Because she's a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER first. Trained correctly, dues paid in full. Treated no different than the boys, because she is "one of the boys".
When you talk about "evolving" women's wrestling, or if you're a woman kicking ass and making a ton of money today, just remember to put some respect on the names of the women who actually laid the groundwork and showed the proof of concept; women who stood ten toes down and took pride in their craft first; their work in the ring, their promos, their gimmick. Their beauty and femininity were a part of the package, not the whole act. Mickie James is absolutely one of those women.
When you get in this business, the veterans teach you to leave the business better than you found it. In the case of Mickie James, mission accomplished. 5 x WWE Women's Champion, Divas Champion, 5 x TNA Knockouts Champion. The only woman in history to hold all those championships. And most importantly, has made every woman she's been in the ring with better. That's what it means to be great.
The bar got raised when she came along.
Maybe I'm biased. Or maybe I'm just right.
She's a no-brainer for every Hall of Fame.
She's also fine af. Back woods or up town 😘 #HardcoreCountry

The industry lost a man today that redefined what success could look like in Pro Wrestling. This post is to acknowledge Hulk Hogan's contributions to the industry, which are difficult to put into adequate words. Terry Bollea made personal choices that earned him understandable criticism, but I'm not here to weigh in on that. As someone who has put food on the table from pro wrestling for twenty years, I believe it is necessary to take a moment to recognize the importance of Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania to our business. He pulled the wagon and brought a ton of people with him. Brought wrestling into the cable TV era, changed the game for the way performers could monetize their talent. Put simply, he showed us what was possible.
Also, he represents my childhood, and millions of others. That deserves recognition.
RIP Hulk Hogan.

After much deliberation I have decided to respond to this post by my Raw counterpart.
We both enjoyed a decorated tenure in our careers before WWE; there is no doubt you & I respect the legacy and tradition of our industry. So you're asking if I would step in the ring with you?...
Time will tell.

Could have just celebrated the 1yr anniversary of Randy's return. Social media manager, see me in my office Monday morning.
1 year ago, @RandyOrton became part of the SmackDown roster, then gave SmackDown GM @RealNickAldis an RKO as a signing bonus! #SmackDown

Respect the board.
When in doubt, bring the whiteboard out.
@RealNickAldis just broke down all the chaos going on within the Tag Team Division, and gave us a solution in the process. 👀

Best of luck to @JinderMahal in his WWE World Heavyweight Championship match tonight on #RAW; I agree with you Mr. Mahal, you have been overlooked...on Raw. However, management has had a bit of a shake-up in recent months, and I'll think you'll find that #SmackDown is the land of opportunity, and I am always open to a conversation.

I love my job(s), and I'm grateful to Paul Levesque, Bruce Prichard, Nick Khan and the entire WWE Upper management. But it is my primary job that I hold dearest, being a father.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there putting everything else in 2nd place.

Hello! Thanks for reaching out to the office of Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis. While we strive to answer every message individually, volume is high during the Christmas Holiday season, so please bear with us. In the meantime you can email EAD@nickaldis.com
Hey @RealNickAldis
Since you’ve failed to respond to private messages, guess I have to do this publicly.
New transfer portal opens and your approval rating backstage is at an all time low- not a great mix 🤔

I'm disappointed that this answer is edited out of context, considering it's the BBC. For the record, I have no dog in the fight, and that situation is above my paygrade. Be better journalists.

I was such a mark for Sid when I was a kid. He was a cartoon character in real life and he represents an era in my fandom that I always have great affection for. To this day, whenever I think of Sid I always turn into a 10yr old kid again and say "Sid was awesome I don't care what anyone says".
RIP.
