		<description>That ladies and gentlemen is from the highly respectful diva-dirt.com, the top women&#039;s wrestling news site on the net. This article just absolutely shows what is wrong with the WWE. Vince McMahon, The Devil Incarnate, who likes to think with his penis most likely came up with this atrocious segment. Instead of focusing on the skill and talent that the Divas have, these ill-mannered pieces&#039; of sh*t want to focus on weight. Really? No wonder Tara (Victoria) and the majority of the knockouts left. Let&#039;s get one thing straight, Mickie James is a beautiful woman. She has proven time and time again why she is the top star in the company. She&#039;s obviously a fan favorite and to come up with a distasteful segment like that is wrong. I would like to think that those tears in here eyes were quite real. I applaud Michelle McCool for sleeping her way to the top and being apart of the segment along with Layla. Michelle is a very good wrestler but has no charisma at all.

McMahon has shown time and time again that he does not care about the Divas. He&#039;s shown that he only cares about his son-in-law, his hooker Cena, and his own ego. He must hear the voices of how the Knockouts of TNA just put the divas to shame. Many of the Knockouts used to work for him. He&#039;s shown that he doesn&#039;t care about talent. The divas have been thrown time and time again into tag matches. There is no originality. There are no unique characters. The Knockouts have all that and then some. Look at each individual Knockout. Look at how unique they are and how much they care about what they do. Knockouts like Daffney, ODB and Kong wouldn&#039;t last a day in the WWE because of Vince&#039;s testosterone-fueled and bias ideas.

Let&#039;s look at Survivor Series. Team Mickie (Mickie James, Eve Torres, Gail Kim, Melina and Kelly Kelly) vs. Team Taker Jr. (Michelle McCool, Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Layla El and Alicia Fox). Do we really care about this match? I know I don&#039;t. Why is Gail Kim buried in this? Why is Beth Phoenix pushed to the back? This match is meaningless and will not change anything. Look at Turning Point. You had all the Knockout titles on the line in SaritaWilde and ODB vs. The Beautiful People. It was enjoyable. Good but not great. Then we had a great matchup in Tara vs. Awesome Kong in the Six Sides of Steel. This match had it all. Intensity. Fire. Stories were told. Tara went from wearing a banana suit to being in a high profile feud. I know the Divas have to be jealous. Mind you Mickie James and Gail Kim used to be in TNA and Gail was the cornerstone of the division and now she&#039;s doing diddlysquat for Vince.

He just doesn&#039;t care. He cares more about a woman&#039;s weight than the things that she can contribute to the show. Like I said earlier, Mickie James is absolutely beautiful. I&#039;d get down on bended knee if I ever got the chance to meet her. I pray for the day that she along with Beth and Gail leave and head to the promised land.</description>

		<description>Sofar Pwinsider was the only dirtsheet site that reported this &quot;news&quot;, and it wasnt even in their news-section, but in their membersection, which is basicly an opinion column. The mere fact that none of the other big dirtsheet sites have made any mention of it, kinda says it all on how reliable this &quot;news&quot; is.
Seems the Mickie James fans got upset over nothing ;-)</description>

		<description>C-Ray, humiliating a person in front of millions doesn&#039;t cause a them to get in line, it makes them do the exact opposite. What the WWE did put into Mickie&#039;s head is that the company she works for doesn&#039;t give a rat&#039;s ass about her. Why should she give her all to somebody like that? They don&#039;t respect her and she should cut her ties with the WWE immediately.

What I would like to see Mickie do to get revenge at Survivor Series. She could; a.) wrestle stiff, b.) pull out a TNA t-shirt, c.) strip naked and yell into a mic &quot;DO I LOOK FAT!?&quot; Okay, that last one is for me, but none the less piss the WWE off as much as possible.</description>

		<description>I was gonna be quiet about this, but it&#039;s become apparently clear that many are looking at this with only one eye open, one ear unclogged, and mouths (or in this case, keyboards) on full blast, and brains turned...OFF. As Internet critics, (or marks or smarks or whatever the heck people are called these days) we (yes, I&#039;m including myself in this) take everything the Internet says and automatically believe it&#039;s true. Do I think it was kinda mean-spirited? Hell yes. Do I think WWE was in the wrong? Hell yes. But these days, you have to send a message by any means neccesary. Just having a simple talking-to isn&#039;t gonna cut it for most people. I know. Take it from me. Not fun. :( 

Did anyone of you even considered the fact that they MAY have tried to speak to Mickie behind the scenes and she didn&#039;t take the words to heart? This may sound crazy, but WWE actually does put SOME (even if it&#039;s just a little) effort into not making their top Divas look awful. The one big example I can come up with is Lita. That fateful night in MSG when Trish and Lita were cutting a promo after the whole Edge/Matt Hardy/Lita incident. The fans (yes, the fans) actually began her heel turn. WWE tried to prevent it, and it got to the point where not only WWE was practically forced to hire Matt Hardy back but turn one of their top faces heel. 

And the whole country music over WWE thing, in life (and especially in these times we&#039;re in), it&#039;s very important to have a backup (and even a second backup), but you&#039;ve gotta remember wha your number one priority is. Don&#039;t put your backup before your main job until the main job is over and done with. When she signed that contract, she made a committment to WWE, and (for now) that should be her number one priority. After her contract runs out, she can say &quot;F*ck them!&quot; and do something else. 

Plus, it&#039;s not like WWE is the only company to make a top star look bad leaving. Christian and Booker T were humiliated on their final appearances in TNA programming. 

Trust me, I&#039;m not defending them at the very least, but I see why (from a business standpoint) they did what they did. Sorry to upset some of you, but that&#039;s how things are in the world of business. When you gotta make a point, you gotta make a point. From there, you have two options: either cry about it like a baby and complain to others or on the Internet like a two-year old when your feelings are hurt, or get your butt in gear and prove your employer wrong and wow the hell out of them. There&#039;s an old saying: Success is the sweetest revenge. ;)</description>

		<description>This is sick. Okay if you want her to put the company first. But the whole weight thing is another issue. It&#039;s sick. Sure Mickie isn&#039;t a stick, but she&#039;s not obese. She is super adorable and looks great all the time. She knows how to look stylish. I look up to the Diva&#039;s, especially Mickie. Why couldn&#039;t they have  a conference with her, why couldn&#039;t they talk to her in private about it. Mickie did not deserve that. I agree with Kelsey. If Mickie does decide to leave the WWE, it&#039;s their loss. Mickie has the what it takes to be up there with the likes of Trish and Lita. She is one of the few current Diva&#039;s that actually have talent. I wish the best to Mickie no matter what she does. And I hope WWE gets their act together.</description>

		<description>I agree with what Erin said above my comment. It really wasn&#039;t  necessary at all to send a &quot;message&quot;  on tv, but still why did they need to go that far and bring it to tv and have the whole public around the whole wide world need to know about it? Absolutely not. It wasn&#039;t necessary at all. The best thing that they could have done was just pull her aside backstage and talk to her about the so called issue instead of doing that childish uncalled segment. But WWE could care less. They would just rather embrass her then do it in private. I still hate WWE for doing that to Mickie. What a way to drive away one of their biggest and top female wrestlers they have now. If Mickie leaves...then its their loss.</description>

		<description>I thought as much; I had a feeling that it may have had to do with something like that. What&#039;s more, I think it&#039;s disgusting to treat wrestlers because they want to have a life outside of the WWE, especially CONSIDERING how easily WWE just throws their wrestlers away. If I worked for them, I would ALWAYS make sure to have a backup plan. I don&#039;t blame anybody for that; if you work for the WWE nothing is 100% certain. Look at the way they treat their past legends and how bitter they are (not all of them but too many). I wish all the best to Mickie, whether she goes or stays!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not defending WWE, but keep in mind they send public messages to male wrestlers too. So don&#039;t think it&#039;s an isolated issue with Mickie. And who&#039;s to say they didn&#039;t pull her aside and she didn&#039;t take it seriously?

And as gmosoto said, she&#039;s under contract. She can&#039;t just leave. I don&#039;t even think she could sue since it&#039;s technically a scripted storyline with her character. It&#039;s definitely a cruel message WWE is sending because the touchiest subject for a woman is her weight. But like real sports, it&#039;s a business.</description>

		<description>If this is true, is it really necessary to send a &quot;message&quot; so publicly? Why not pull her aside and talk to her? Jesus Christ, this is so unprofessional it&#039;s ridiculous. But I suppose this is the WWE--they don&#039;t have the best track record of treating their employees decently.</description>
