When Womens Champion Mickie James isnt kicking ass in the ring, shes hitting the books. She recently earned her Associate of Arts Degree of Business Administration and plans to begin studying in February for her Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Operations Management.
I felt like I needed to do this, and I wanted something to fall back on. You never know if I got hurt or something like that where would I go from there? James told WWE.com. I set myself up so Im prepared, no matter what.
By earning her bachelors degree, James will be able to open and run her own businesses something she has many ideas about.
Ive always wanted to run my horse farm. So Id definitely like to have a background to understand that, she said, referring to her lifelong passion for horses.
The Diva has plans to share her business knowledge as well.
I wanted to help my sister, Latoya, because shes an awesome cook. Shes one of the best culinary people Ive ever met, she said. She makes awesome cakes, so I was thinking about starting a little coffee shop café where she could sell them. I want to open a little small, mom-and-pop place, but she can also do catering, too.
James takes classes online, signing on in the evening or when she has free time, at least once a day.
I get two to three assignments each week before class, and I communicate with a group for assignments. I have two to three classes at a time, so thats six or seven assignments, she explained. Plus Im traveling on the road and doing all this other stuff. So I have to make sure I put my time into it.
While a few of her classmates have curiously inquired if she is indeed the Mickie James of WWE fame, she tries to keep to herself and focus all her time online studying. She listed her favorite classes as anything related to art, English and literature. Her least favorite? Math.
I love art, painting and drawing; and studying art, like Rembrandt and Van Gogh. I love English and literature, she admitted. I hate math! Im horrible at it, but I have to take it.
James also offered a bit of advice to any students who might feel discouraged about completing a college degree.
When I got out of high school I didnt go straight to college. If I could do it, then I hope they could do it, because Im juggling a lot here. Dont give up, she encouragingly said.
Go for it and finish that degree because its useful. Its not going to hurt you, its only going to help you.
Carlito was busted wide open on Monday during his emotional encounter with Chris Masters. The young Superstar needed several stiches to close the bloody wound.
Joey Mercurys face, a raw, inflamed mess with blood still seeping out from his stitches, was scarlet red around his nose and left eye with hundreds of flakes of dry blood clinging to various places on his face.
Ive shattered my nose around the bridge area, said a bruised and swollen Mercury, who was severely injured at last nights Armageddon pay-per-view in a Ladder Match. I have four fractures on the inside of my nose; I have 5 stitches on the inside of my nose and my cheek and 15 stitches on the outside of my nose and cheek. My left eye is swollen shut and I have continual internal bleeding from my nose and my eye.
To Mercurys credit, the injury that would have knocked most people out cold only left him momentarily stunned.
I remember everything [about the incident], he said. I never lost consciousness and I never passed out.
Asked what it felt like when the legs of the ladder dug into his face and ripped a gaping hole down his nose and under his eye, he thought long and hard before he spoke.
I have nothing to compare it to; Ive never been hit that hard in the face before, he said as he paused. Id have to say it felt like a hundred-pound steel ladder connecting with my face at one-hundred miles per hour; or going head first through a windshield of a car without a seatbelt on; maybe getting hit in the face with a baseball bat swung by Sammy Sosa.
Mercury made it clear it was the outcome of the match, not the injury, that was on his mind the day after the ghastly incident.
Had I not been forced to leave the match due to a severe amount of blood loss, MNM would be the WWE Tag Team Champions, he said. Again, we made it clear that MNM is the greatest tag team in the modern era not The Hardys.

Eduardo Gory Guerrero Llanes (9 oktober 1967 13 november 2005), beter bekend bij zijn bijnaam, Eddie Guerrero, was een Mexicaans Amerikaanse professioneel worstelaar. Als telg van de legendarische Mexicaanse worstelfamilie, wist Guerrero de roem van de Guerrero familie groot te houden. Gedurende de jaren 90 werkte hij voor bijna elke grote worstelpromotie in de Verenigde Staten; Extreme Championship Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling en World Wrestling Entertainment.
Guerrero's karakter in de ring was die van een creatieve, vindingrijke worstelaar die alles wilde doen om een wedstrijd te winnen. Zijn fameuze mantra werd "Cheat to Win." Ondanks, of mogelijk dankzij, het feit dat hij een heel was gedurende de grootste periode van zijn carrière, werd hij extreem populair dankzij zijn charisma en het feit dat zijn karakter grotendeels een weerspiegeling van zichzelf leek te zijn.
Guerrero kwam van een legendarische worstel familie. Zijn vader, Gory Guerrero, was een van de oprichters van Lucha Libre, een prominente worstel trainer en een invloedrijk figuur in het Mexicaanse professionele worstelen. Zijn drie broers, Chavo Guerrero, Hector Guerrero en Mando Guerrero volgden allen in hun vaders voetsporen en werden professionele worstelaars. Guerrero's neefje, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. werd ook worstelaar, terwijl zijn oom Enrique Llanes en neef Javier Llanes in Mexico worstelden. Als een jongetje liet Guerrero's vader toe dat hij en Chavo Jr. tegen elkaar worstelden in de pauze van de worstel Arena die Gory bezat.
Guerrero is opgegroeid in El Paso, Texas en ging naar de Universiteit van New Mexico en de New Mexico Highlands University met een sportbeurs, waar hij universitair worstelde, voordat hij terugkeerde naar El Paso om te trainen voor professioneel worstelaar. Hij debuteerde in 1987 in de Mexican Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre promotie. Hij werd een ster in Mexico lang voordat hij in de main event stond in de Verenigde Staten.
Op 13 november 2005, werd Eddie Guerrero dood in zijn hotel kamer gevonden in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in het Marriott City Center Hotel door zijn neef, Chavo. Hij was 38 jaar oud. Een aantal uur later schreef WWE.com het volgende op zijn website:
"WWE is diepbedroefd door het nieuws dat Eddie Guerrero is overleden. Hij werd vanmorgen dood gevonden in zijn hotelkamer in Minneapolis. Eddie wordt overgeleverd door zijn vrouw Vickie en zijn dochters Shaul, 14, Sherilyn, 9, en Kaylie Marie, 3."
Dezelfde dag hield WWE een pers conferentie met een speech van zijn neef Chavo die sprak over Eddie Guerrero's vier jaar van geheelonthouding die zou komen op 15 november 2005. Chavo verdedigde zijn oom door te zeggen dat hij zijn "persoonlijke demonen" had verslagen. WWE Voorzitter Vince McMahon weigerde om te speculeren over mogelijkheden van Eddie Guerrero's dood en beide mannen zeiden dat Guerrero zou willen dat de show door zou gaan.
Reden van zijn dood
Door een autopsie werd onthuld dat Eddie Guerrero was gestorven als resultaat van acuut hart falen, veroorzaakt door een ongediagnostiseerde arteriosclerotische cardiovasculaire ziekte en vergroting van het hart als een resultaat van eerder anabolen steroiden misbruik. Hoewel Eddie Guerrero al meer dan vier jaar geen alcohol of verboden medicijnen had genomen heeft zijn vroegere overmatige gebruik bijgedragen aan zijn hart falen. Gedurende de tijd van zijn dood had hij onlangs narcotische pijnstillers gebruikt.
Eddie Guerrero's vrouw Vickie zei dat bij onwel was de week die vooraf ging aan de week voor zijn dood, maar dat hij dit had toegeschreven aan de stress van het continue reizen en optreden. Ze voegde toe dat de doktoren haar hadden verteld dat Eddie Guerrero's bloedvaten geraveld en verzwakt waren door een ongediagnostiseerde hartziekte en dat hij in een diepe slaap was geraakt.
Op de 30 november 2005 editie van WWE Byte This! zei Chavo Guerrero Jr. dat Eddie Guerrero heel hard had gewerkt en op de top van zijn fysieke kunnen was door dagelijkse cardiovasculaire en gewichten training oefeningen. Er waren geen symptomen of redenen tot bezorgdheid benadrukte Guerrero Jr., terwijl andere mensen die voor meer dan 10 jaar drugs gebruiken geen enkel effect hebben. Eddie Guerrero kreeg ondanks dat hij het drugs gebruik 4 jaar eerder had opgegeven hart complicaties die niet op tijd waren ontdekt om zijn dood te kunnen voorkomen.
Eddie Guerrero's begrafenis vond plaats op 17 november 2005 in Phoenix (Arizona), Arizona op de Green Acres Begraafplaats. De besloten ceremonie werd voorgezeten door de gepensioneerde worstelaar "Superstar" Billy Graham. Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, JBL, Vince McMahon, Tom Prichard, alle broers van Eddie Guerrero, een van zijn zusters, Chavo Guerrero Jr. en Valerie Coleman Graham spraken op zijn begrafenis. Een groot aantal worstelaars en worstelpersoonlijkheden waren ook aanwezig.
Als een direct antwoord op de dood van Eddie Guerrero kondigde WWE Voorzitter Vince McMahon aan dat drugs testen zou worden aangevangen voor WWE worstelaars, die begonnen in maart 2006. Eddie Guerrero werd toegevoegd aan de WWE Hall of Fame op 1 april 2006 door Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio en zijn neef Chavo Guerrero in Chicago, op de vooravond van Wrestlemania 22. Zijn vrouw Vickie Guerrero nam deze eer in ontvangst.

Following the horrendous two-handed chokeslam at the monstrous paws of The Great Khali on ECW on Sci Fi, ECW Original Tommy Dreamer was carted out of the Hampton Coliseum on a stretcher and received immediate medical attention from WWE medical staff.
According to WWE physician Dr. Ferdinand Rios, Dreamer suffered a mild concussion, in addition to whiplash, a wrenched back and bruised kidneys.
"It looked like [Dreamer] had been involved in a car accident," Rios said.

King Booker is especially excited this holiday season as he is ready to launch his wrestling academy into the spotlight. Pro Wrestling Alliance, PWA as it is known, has been gearing up for two years in anticipation of this moment: their first show.
This show is hopefully going to bring wrestling back to the Houston area, and breed new stars for the wrestling business," Booker said. "Never in a million years would I have imagined doing this, but here I am with my own company and my own organization. Maybe I can be the Vince McMahon of the Houston area.
Booker has high expectations for PWA, and for the past two years has been working towards making his dream a reality. Hes looking forward to elevating wrestling in the Houston area, and has had a lot of help in doing so.
Ive been the only trainer for the past year, but I just hired another trainer, and Sharmell has helped this whole venture immensely," Booker continued. "Christmas Chaos is going to be great because of all that help."
Booker won't be the only Superstar at the event either. He's brought in some help.
"This Thursday, at 7 p.m., King Booker is going to run the PWA kingdom, and I wont be alone. Boogeyman, Sly and Charlie Haas are all going to make appearances at the show, so come on out and enjoy the show.
Christmas Chaos is Thursday Dec. 21, 7 p.m., at the Pasadena Convention Center, Pasadena, Texas.
With his victory at Armageddon, Gregory Helms continued his nearly year long reign as Cruiserweight Champion.
Since winning the Cruiserweight Open Challenge last January, Helms made a personal promise to himself. Some people read about history, some people write about history, and some people make history. Thats what Im doing, day by day, making history, he said.
The SmackDown Superstar is proving his words to be true. With his victory at Armageddon, Helms has become the longest running champion in the history of SmackDown and he doesnt plan on slowing down.
In this business, if youre not getting better, youre getting worse. You cant be complacent; you cant sit on your laurels. I dont see losing my title anytime soon.
Having defeated all challengers to his championship, including Jimmy Wang Yang, Helms has held the title longer than the likes of Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero, men who went on to win World Championships. Although he is happy to make history, the Cruiserweight Champion has begun to assess his future, hinting at setting his sights even higher.
I can see myself holding onto this title and winning another. I could challenge Chris Benoit for the United States Championship, and I can see myself even challenging Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship, he said. I have no fear of anybody, and I wont back down from anybody. Ive defended the Cruiserweight Championship all over the world, and will continue to do what I do best, and that is win. Ive sent cruiserweights packing from SmackDown.
Helms has set the precedent very high for not just those with aspirations of holding the Cruiserweight Championship, but for all other champions in WWE. Gregory Helms may not be the most popular with the fans, but his talent has spoken for itself with his historical run.
When I set a goal, I reach it. When I reach it, I set a higher one. I have done this already, and will continue to do that the rest of my career.
Following his fiery confrontation with Kane in the Inferno Match at Armageddon, MVP surprisingly received only first-degree burns to his back.
According to WWE medical staff, MVP was able to leave the Richmond Coliseum in this condition because the 500-degree flames engulfed a large surface area of his body rather than being concentrated only to one area.
First-degree burns similar to those afflicting MVP typically involve minimal tissue damage and primarily affect the skin surface causing severe pain, redness and swelling.
When will we see the brash - yet burnt - SmackDown Superstar back in the ring? After a match as lethal as the one he experienced at Armageddon, can MVP ever be the same competitor? Can the young, talented entertainer make a successful comeback from the scalding of a lifetime?

Watch all the action of the special three-hour edition of Raw this Monday night at 8/7 CT on the USA Network.
During his match at Armageddon, Joey Mercury was rushed from the arena and to a nearby hospital after one of the ladders smashed him in the face and caused his nose to pour blood.
After examination, it was announced that Mercury had suffered a broken nose, which required four stitches to the inside and 14 on the outside of the nose. According to the doctors, Mercury's nasal passage is all clear and he should be alright.
Brian David Kendrick (geboren in Fairfax, Virginia, Verenigde Staten op 29 mei 1979) is een Amerikaanse professionele worstelaar die momenteel werkt voor World Wrestling Entertainment op de SmackDown! show, waar hij momenteel een helft is van de WWE Tag Team Champions met zijn tag team partner, Paul London.Kendrick heeft voorheen gewerkt voor Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in zijn X Divisie, Ring of Honor, en verschillende onafhankelijke en Japanse promoties, meestal onder de naam Spanky. In Japan was zijn naam Leonardo Spanky vanwege zijn gelijkenis aan Leonardo DiCaprio.
Zijn eerste match, voor de Texas Wrestling Alliance tegen een andere leerling van Shawn Michaels, American Dragon, eindigde in een 10-minuut tijdslimiet gelijkspel en ontving een staande ovatie. Hij ging verder met naam voor zichzelf maken in UPW, Ring of Honor en Pro Wrestling ZERO-ONE met dank aan zijn goede ringwerk en het excentrieke personage dat hij voor zichzelf had gecreëerd. Spanky nam deel in het King of Indies toernooi in 2001.
Op 13 januari 2004 vroeg Brian Kendrick ontslag van zijn WWE contract aan omdat hij niet genoeg geld kreeg van house shows en probeerde bij Pro Wrestling ZERO-ONE in Japan aan de bak te komen. Kendrick had eerder in een interview geuit dat hij er niet blij mee was dat Tough Enough winnaars grotere pushes kregen, ondanks dat Kendrick hard had gewerkt voor zijn plekje. Hij worstelde toen voor ZERO-ONE, Ring of Honor en Pro Wrestling Guerrilla voor een korte tijd.
Op 28 juni 2005 werd bekend gemaakt dat Brian Kendrick een nieuw contract had getekend met World Wrestling Entertainment. Spanky verscheen op verschillende Velocity opnames en live shows voor zijn her-debuut op SmackDown! op 18 november 2005 in de speciale Eddie Guerrero tribuut show. Hij nam deel aan een Cruiserweight Battle Royal maar verloor aan Juventud.
Tijdens deze periode vormde Kendrick opnieuw een team met zijn voormalige partner Paul London. Het team maakte hun eerste verschijning op SmackDown! op 2 december 2005.
Kendricks vorige entrance song was "Hey You", het werd ook gebruikt door TV bedrijven voor non-WWE reclames.
Zijn theme song in Japan (als Leonardo Spanky) was een techno remix van "My Heart Will Go On" door Céline Dion.
Hij had twee theme songs in ROH. Eerst gebruikte hij "Quality Control" door Jurassic 5, later "Danger! High Voltage!" door Electric Six.
Hij heeft momenteel een relatie met Tough Enough 1 deelneemster Taylor Matheny sinds juli 2002.
Career Highlights: Undefeated in Master Lock Challenges
WWE Debut: Feb. 21, 2005
Chris Mordetsky, beter bekend als Chris Masters of The Masterpiece (Los Angeles, 8 januari 1983) is een Amerikaans professioneel worstelaar bij de WWE. Na een tijd van afwezigheid is hij maandag 28 augustus 2006 teruggekeerd in de WWE ring. Hij heeft een schorsing uitgezeten vanwege het gebruik van verboden middelen. Het is niet officeel bekend gemaakt om wat voor middel het gaat, maar in het algemeen wordt, vanwege zijn grote spiermassa, aangenomen dat het om steroïden gaat. Zijn eerste match tegen John Cena won hij door een diskwalificatie van John Cena. Edge onderbrak de wedstraat namelijk om bekend te maken dat hij en Cena een TLC match hebben op Unforgiven.
Congratulations are in order for Raw Superstar Charlie Haas and his wife Jackie. On December 14 at 3:01 a.m., the Haas family welcomed 6 pound 7 ounce, 19.5 inch Kayla Jacquelyn Haas as the newest member of their household.
Its was a miracle watching her being born; it was the best feeling in the world, an ecstatic Haas said.
Within just weeks of the recent short-term reformation of both The Hardys and MNM, WWE fans witnessed the rebirth of perhaps the greatest team in sports-entertainment: Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin, The Worlds Greatest Tag Team Monday night on Raw. Unlike the reunions of both Matt & Jeff and Mercury & Nitro, former WWE Tag Team Champions Haas & Benjamin are arguably the most focused pairing to be rejoined, as they intend on making a lasting impression on Raw.
The antics of Cryme Tyme are just oppressive; what theyre doing to disgrace to the black man, explained a livid Haas. I feel bad for Shelton and every other African American because what [Cryme Tyme] is doing is absolutely insulting. Were going to show them that these stereotypes are not right.
It was just two years ago that this dynamic team was split apart by the 2004 WWE Draft Lottery that sent Benjamin to Raw. Since then, Benjamin captured and has recently sought to reclaim Intercontinental gold while Haas spent time in tag action with a number of WWE Superstars, past and present.
Taking nothing away from other Superstars hes teamed with, Haas expressed that he is truly proud to once share the ring with the three-time Intercontinental Champion Benjamin.
Were a well-oiled wrestling machine, Haas said. Whether it be DX, Rated-RKO, a team from SmackDown or ECW, were here to put The Worlds Greatest back on the map.
Though reunited for a most righteous cause, Benjamin and Haas crusade will not end with Cryme Tyme, but rather tag team supremacy.
There are a lot of teams that need to be checked in WWE, Benjamin claimed. The Worlds Greatest is ready to teach Cryme Tyme a little lesson in respect, and from then on, skys the limit. He continued, Its much like Muhammad Ali said: Were shakin up the world.
