It’s surprising to see Mickie James return to WWE considering how she left - nicknamed Piggy James by high school queen bees Lay-Cool. The duo teased James about her weight, somehow believing her to be fat. Michelle McCool and Layla were obviously just playing characters, and both women have gone on to say how much trepidation they had over the storyline.

But someone in Titan Tower conceived the idea, unbelievably thinking that the super sexy, 125lb. country gal was overweight. It was a terrible message for young girls, and although James eventually got revenge by winning the Divas’ Championship, the damage had been done. She suffered a staph infection shortly thereafter and when she returned, she was released by the company.
