Mickie James is second (to Trish Stratus) in terms of most women's Title reigns with six - five Women's Title and one Divas Title. Despite such an impressive record (WWE were clearly high on her), she was fired in 2010 ending her five year run on WWE's main roster. Why was she let go, you ask? She was fired by WWE in May 2010 due to apparently being late to the bus several times during a European tour, and the company wasn't happy with her weight either. In WWE's mind, the woman pictured above was a little too big. Yup. She also dated John Cena and the breakup didn't go well, which also contributed to her demise. Few women were ever as "over" as her for as long as she was. She could wrestle, do promos and act as well as any diva on the roster while she was there. Her feud with Stratus is one of the best rivalries in WWE history, not to mention her great matches with the likes of Beth Phoenix, Lita and Melina as well. There was no reason to cut her loose, yet they did it. The fact that Rosa Mendes is closing in on ten years on WWE's main roster (what does she even do?) while Mickie was axed after less than five is a gross injustice.
