WWE Still Unhappy With Mickie James’ Weight, Recent Segments Info

Posted by W-E on Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

- On this past Friday’s SmackDown, there was a segment involving Mickie James in which rival Diva Michelle McMcool created a personalized video of “Old McDonald”. The video’s starring character was “PiggyJames” and was actually designed to send a clear message to the multi-time Women’s Champion.

Dave Meltzer reports that the company are still unhappy with James’ weight and want her lose it, hence the recent segments involving heel Divas poking fun at her weight.

    Wow, WWE is pathetic… They should care more about wrestling ability than f***ing looks.

    It’s WWE’s way really. I think they’ve gave her the message to lose weight quite a bit and it doesn’t seem to be going in. Undoubtedly it’s affected her work too because she is no way as sharp as she used to be – I think WWE are well within their right to do this if she isn’t listening. Don’t forget she’s also pursuing musical aspirations outside of the company which may be affecting her focus too – there’s some concern in the company about that also – I will be posting an article on that soon.

    Personally I think it’s shit what WWE are doing.Mickie looks great the way she is & going about things the way they are they’re sending out a very bad message to all of the young girls who look up to the divas as role models.

    We always hear of stories of people getting injured trying to emulate their favourite wrestlers. I can’t wait until some poor girl ends up in hospital because she’s collapsed from anorexia trying to look like her favourite diva. It will happen. Mark my words…..

    On a side note, do WWE wellness test for slimming tablets?

    I’m curious, was she aware that they were going to run the video or not? I mean, I believe she was, but this report almost makes it seem as though she didn’t know. And yes, I agree with everyone else, it’s cold on WWE’s part, but as an employer, they have every right to hold their employees to the standards they desire. But here’s a question for you: why is it all right for WWE to get on Mickie’s case about her weight, yet Matt Hardy is huge and it’s definitely affecting his in ring ability? Have they requested that Matt get back in shape or do they hold different standards for different performers?

    I agree with Shawn’s view of this. WWE does have the right to hold people accountable, but the way they are doing it with Mickie is cold. That is a good point Shawn brings up about Matt. The only thing I could say is that right now Mickie is more high profile than Matt I guess. However WWE needs to be cautious as well. Mickie is still IMO the most popular diva WWE has right now. The fact that she was chosen captain over Divas champ Melina says that. Her pursuit of a music career outside the company may be a signal that once her contract is up, she may be outta there.

    Matt Hardy didnt put on weight, it was due to the problem he had with his intestines (or whatever it was) where they tore, and burst. The guy basically nearly died because of it, and is probably still not 100% from the operation he had to fix it.
    Just for the record though, WWE has done the same thing to quite a few male wrestlers in recent years, including the likes of Big Show, Umaga and they even let Eugene go shortly after they signed him, because he put on a lot of weight.
    It was also a big reason Chris Harris didnt last long.

    This is such garbage. So does this mean Natalya is next. Because if i’m not mistaken I do believe they are about the same size.

    Mickie james is the best female wrestler wwe have got(well until they decide to give gail kim a push anyway) they are being stupid. Hopefully she won’t listen to em, get released and jump to TNA. Then she might actually be appreciated for her talent rather then just her looks.

    The difference between Mickie and Natalya is that WWE actually asked Natalya to bulk up, they didn’t ask that of Mickie. They have warned her a lot about her weight privately and her live showing of discontent during and after her match with Gail Kim a few months on RAW didn’t do much to help her cause. I think they have tried the softly softly approach and are now sending a stronger indication of where they stand with these ways. I don’t think it will last too long.

    I think it is cruel on what they did to Mickie James! She was crying because of it, which tells me that she didnt know that she was going to be degraded on national tv! If I was her, id give my notice and sign with TNA! No wonder kids are being bullied!

    In my opinion, no matter if you are female or male, the size should not matter! If a wrestler can still perform and entertain, then nothing else should matter! Look at Big Show! He is big and slow, but can still perform and entertain!

    You don’t see WWE degrading Big Show on national tv! So why do it to Mickie? Why degrade a woman with great talent and ability? I could only see the womans rights and movement have a field day with the WWE!

    Here’s a thought what if Mickie has genetics that make it almost imposible for her to shift the weight, meaning even though she’s trying she can help it. What then?

    Chris Harris sucked….his weight had nothing to do with it. Plus he was overweight to start, so blame WWE for putting him on TV too soon. Same with Matt. Hey I like Matt, but if he isn’t 100%, don’t put him on TV. It’s not like he’s doing anything right now. I would have put him in FCW for a while to let him get back in fighting shape. I just find it funny that back in the 80s and 90s WWE had wrestlers of all shapes and sizes and still put on entertaining matches. Now everybody is wishing for the good ol’ days. Makes you think.

    Honestly Mickie James should just leave wwe and go to TNA. Wwe is all about the looks not the wrestling.. Thats fucked up how they did a segment like that calling her piggyjames. Wwe likes to harass and embaress people. I mean if she gained weight give her time to loose it not embrass her on national tv.. Thats degrating to her and honestly TNA is all about wrestling and i would say fuck wwe and go to tna.. Micke James is pretty reguardless and as a company they handle things wrong.. Plus TNA focuses alot of womens wrestling where wwe has lame womens matches and the same fueds and nothing interesting involving the women.. I cant believe they did that to her..I knew it was real when she cried and she deserves to leave and be happy..

    Most of the the women don’t wrestle all that well, and they are there for eye candy. If they were really there to wrestle looks would not matter. It’s not a coincidence that they are all attractive by most guy’s standards. Now with Mickie I think they should leave her alone. Most men like their women with curves, which is not the same as being fat. I always wandered where the idea that being 6’2 and 119 pounds equaling sexy came from. A lot of models are gorgeous. I can’t deny that, but many could stand to gain a few pounds. If any models are reading this, I am not talking about all of you.

    when layla and michelle mccool started cutting up mickie’s clothes during mickie’s match with natalya, and she started crying. i dont think she was aware that they were going to cut up her clothes. i think thats why she was crying.

    Piggy James has been falling off for awhile. She needs to step her game up so she can be good as she was before.

    Vintage Mickie!

    Mickie may not be as strong between the ropes but she can still kick it like she used to. Personally, I think the reason James seems to have lost her touch is because she is getting bored. She has always seemed quite passionate about the industry and the feuds she has been getting over the last few years have been weak and she hasn’t really had the chance to dig her teeth into anything – if the WWE did indeed treat their Divas as TNA do, I think you would find Mickie to be as good as ever.

    In regards to her looks and her weight, I’m goning to reference two comments on here already. Someone said she’s the hottest Diva, behind Kelly Kelly. Now, I think Kelly is way too plastic and she appeals to the younger (more easily pleased) audience. Mickie has that something special that older men like. Yes, like someone said, a little bit of meat, but she isn’t fat at all. She’s a natural beauty, like Monroe. Ask an older woman who grew up during the Star Wars era about who they preferred out of Han Solo and Luke. It’s exactly the same. Hell, why’d you think Johnny Deep is so desired? He has exactly the same appeal.
