10. The Piggy James Angle And Insulting Vickie Guerrero
There have been instances in WWE's past where they insulted women just because they didn't look a certain way. For a company that promotes an anti-bullying program for several years now, it is very odd that they would go very far in terms of ripping on their own employees based on how they look, but that's something WWE has done multiple times. During Vickie Guerrero's career in WWE as a GM and also a manager of wrestlers, there were all kinds of jokes about her weight. There were times when she was pretty big, but then she lost weight and it would still happen. Why does it matter? Not everybody is going to look like a bikini model that WWE typically hires. Then there was the Piggy James angle surrounding top diva Mickie James in late 2009/early 2010 with Michelle McCool & Layla insinuating that she was fat. It was such a stupid storyline because Mickie was in very good shape and it was just bad to watch. Mickie got her revenge by beating McCool for the Women's Title in a short match, but they could have got there using another storyline. In addition to those two, WWE also mocked Molly Holly for having a big ass. Women and men come in all different shapes and sizes. To use them in wrestling angles that personally attack those people is very low even for WWE.
