Former WWE Diva Mickie James celebrated her 15 years in professional wrestling and dropped the following message in her Facebook.

“I just realized November is over… So I feel the need to reminisce… The 1st time I ever stepped into a ring was Nov 98′! In Manassas VA at a little school called KYDAPro. My 1st day of training I was learning the basics in a boxing ring that felt like cement. In the back of a martial arts center I fell in love with this crazy business & 15yrs later I couldn’t be any more in love. Through it all… The ups & downs & all arounds… The journey has molded me into who I am today! Not just in that squared circle but in life. I was born a fighter… It’s all I know… It’s all I’ll ever be! I want to thank all of you for being on this crazy road with me and supporting me in everything I do. Both in the ring and rocking the stage the last few years. I couldn’t be where I am and who I am without you alls loving support! I can’t truly express my gratitude for it. I just do my very best every time I’m in that beautiful spotlight. I thank you for giving me the chance to do that. Love ya Gang!,”

Mickie started her career in 1999 and went on to represent the WWE, TNA and various other independent promotions. She currently resurfaced as a guest trainer in NXT after being released from TNA this year.

Meanwhile according to the latest numbers, the WWE’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view did an average of 167,000 buys.
