TNA Wrestling provided an update on their website about Mickie James following the controversial storyline from Wednesday night’s episode of Impact Wrestling, where James Storm pushed Mickie James onto the train tracks. Many suggested that Mickie had been killed off and it go a lot of negative attention online including Jim Ross and TAZ. Below is a video of the the angle form Wednesday’s Impact:
TNA issued the following statement:
“On Impact this past week Mickie James thought she was coming to Nashville to meet with Country Music Executives, to further her already amazing music career. The “meetings” were set up by Mickie’s friend, the leader of The Revolution, James Storm and all seemed to be on the up and up.
That is until Mickie James got to Nashville, Storm was there to greet her and told Mickie the real reason he invited her to Music City, USA and it had nothing to do with music. Storm revealed he wanted Mickie to join The Revolution, to which Mickie was not only taken aback, but wanted nothing to do with joining The Revolution.
Then Storm walked Mickie James to the train station ant that is where Storm, for whatever his reasons are, knocked Mickie James onto the tracks. While Storm’s actions are despicable and boderline criminal, we have reached out to Mickie James and have not yet gotten comment. We also reached out to security at The Nashville Star Train Station who were first on the scene after James Storm left and they were able to tell us that Mickie briefly blacked out and showed symptoms of a concussion. Mickie was tested and passed all concussion field tests. Mickie was emotionally disturbed following the events.
We will do our best to keep everyone up to date and we wish Mickie a very speedy recovery. We will be following up with Mickie James to see if she plans on filing criminal charges with Nashville PD.”
Here is what Jim Ross had to say about the storyline on his blog:
“I’m a big fan of both Mickie James, who was on our talent roster when I was in WWE, and James Storm whose work I’ve always enjoyed a great deal but the creative that they were provided Wednesday night regarding the train was undesirable and completely unrealistic and had me feeling embarrassed for two, very good talents. I do like the direction of Storm becoming a deranged character with scary tenacities but the train business did that few favors.”
The Jim Ross @JRsBBQ Twiiter account tweeted the following:
TAZ tweeted:
EC3 plans on celebrating finally being ranked #1 in The Impact Top 5.

Destination America announced that Ring of Honor will debut on their network on Wednesday, June 3. They confirmed that ROH will be followed by a new episode of TNA Impact Wrestling.
James Storm was recently interview by the v2 Wrestling Podcast and he talked about the recent reports that Destination America is canceling TNA Impact Wrestling.
“I’ve been told by the higher-ups that there’s nothing to worry about,” Storm said. “TNA is owned by a billion dollar company, Panda Energy, so the money is going to be there. They talk about the network saying this and that. Every network wants great ratings, but the problem is that it takes time for the casual wrestling fans and viewers to find Destination America. A lot of people don’t have the channel, or it’s a premium channel and they have to pay for it. My mom actually couldn’t find it until like a month ago. So it’s just taking people a little longer to find the Destination America channel.”
“Nobody really knows except for the network and Dixie Carter, that’s how I look at it. Dixie cares about the wrestlers like they’re her own kids. If something’s going to go down, she’s going to have a meeting and talk about it with all the guys, so that’s how I look at it.”
