- TNA Knockout Mickie James recently talked to the UK Newspaper. One topic of interest was Vince McMahon’s reaction to a hand gesture she had made towards Trish Stratus at Wrestlemania, during the peak of the crazed fan storyline. “I came back through the curtain and Vince was really mad. In the moment it had seemed amazing to me. I thought ‘Vince will love this’.

The hand gesture implied oral sex.

“‘Crass’ was the word I got. He didn’t like it at all. He told me ‘We’re going to have to go back and edit that out. Do you know how much time (this will take)?’ This was my first WrestleMania, my mom was in the audience, I’m freaking out already. I’m back through the curtain and I’m already in tears and an emotional mess. And I got yelled at.” For more of the interview, visit TheSun.co.uk.
