Misty James

a.k.a. Queen of Kingsport, Tennessee

Wrestler

Tall, blonde and beautiful, Misty James took an unusual route to the wrestling ring. The former high school All-American athlete certainly had the physical attributes to compete in the ring. Still, she was content to simply watch and enjoy the local wrestling shows as a fan sitting at ringside. But then after teaming-up with her wrestler husband, Beau James, as a last minute fill-in during a mixed tag match, she was hooked! Now Misty is one of the top prospects on the Mid-South women's indy scene. You can expect a big future for this sexy ring dazzler!

Beautiful Tennessee wrestler, Misty James!

Misty James' Profile...

  • How It Started: My step dad was a referee and an announcer. We were always at the matches when I was a kid. When I was 13 I met a wrestler named Beau James. I was in love! But he never would even look my way. Years later, I went to the matches with my sister and I guess Beau liked the grown-up Misty! We have been together since that day.

    My first time ever in the ring was Thanksgiving Night 2006 when I married Beau after the matches.

    In the summer of 2007, Beau's long-time friend and promoter James Hines was promoting matches at a North Carolina fair with a couple of girls booked. Three days before the event, they canceled. We could not find any girls that were available to fill-in. Mr. Hines said: "Your wife is booked...get another girl." Beau was against that idea. He didn't want me involved in wrestling. Mr. Hines told him that we had a contract with the fair and that a women's match was promised. So next thing I know, I'm a pro wrestler! But once I was in the ring I was hooked. We had a mixed-tag and the next day I started training full-time. I NEVER thought I would ever be a wrestler. I never really had the desire. But funny things happen.

    I also would like to say this: Wrestling is the hardest thing I have ever done. It is nothing like people think! I was an All American softball player in High School. I was voted by coaches the outfielder of the year in all of Virginia my senior year. I had also played basketball and track. I thought wrestling can't be that hard. WAS I wrong. In wrestling you use every part of your body including your mind in ways you would never in other sports.

    When I told Beau I wanted to be a full time wrestler, he was against it. After I convinced him, he said: "OK...but no favoritism. You have to be treated just like the rest. If I'm easy on you everyone will hate you." So the first day I got in the ring with my husband I was thinking he would say: "Walk through this, grab like this, do this..." NOPE. He grabbed me, took me to the mat, and tied me in a knot! I broke my ankle the first day. But after I got off the crutches I went right back into the ring.

    Wrestling is my love now. Along with wrestling, Beau and I also promote towns, produce a weekly TV program and everything else involved in day to day operations of a wrestling promotion.
