Why Did Mickie James Get Released?

[thegreatwhat]

This is not about whether or not you liked Mickie James. This is not about whether you would have released her or not. This is not a sympathy topic or anything like that.

I just want to know what is the real reason or accepted real reason for Mickie's release and discuss that.

 

[Wicked Valentine]

Something about being late a lot and holding everyone else up.

Try google instead of making a thread.

 

[thegreatwhat]

Excuse me, but don't give me that attitude. I am not finished yet.

Yeah, I've heard the bus rumor myself. But is that still the accepted belief?

 

[Wicked Valentine]

Yes. That is the only rumor i heard. I really don't think anyone really cares why she got canned. Obviously, she's in TNA now so it doesn't matter.

And honey, if you plan on sticking around here you need to get used to that "attitude".

 

[thegreatwhat]

Don't worry, I really don't plan on sticking around too long.

And where is the verification of the bus rumor?

And the relevance of this discussion does not just pertain to Mickie James in the WWE, but the diva division in general.

 

[Wicked Valentine]

Pro wrestling news sites.

if it pertains to the divas division, you shoulda mention that in the first post otherwise this seem like one of those threads that people use because they don't feel like using google.

 

[thegreatwhat]

Maybe you didn't read in my first post where I said I wanted to DISCUSS the reason, not have it handed to me on a silver platter.

And I'll repeat myself. Where is the verification that the reports are true. No offense, but not all reports on these sites are true. Trust, but verify. Where's the verification?

GO FIND IT! You said you don't want it handed to you on a silver platter, but you refuse to go look. There is a "New Thread Etiquette" that you're supposed to read before posting, obviously you haven't done that, so for not following the rules you might have to put up with attitude.

As for why Mickie got fired? Could be a number of things, tardiness, disrespect, nude photos, who knows? And no, I don't have verification, that was all opinion.

 

[1truefan]

From what I remember reading a while back it has something to do with her being late to the bus on the European tour back in 2010. There were also some rumors that she had been in thin ice due to an obsession with John Cena or other male superstars which got her demoted to Smackdown. I also read it also had to do with the fact that she did not want WWE to produce her album signing over her own intellectual property. those are number of reasons that I heard I do not have verification but do remember reading those a while back. She is a great talent and I am glad TNA is using her the way that they are but I wished wwe would have kept her.

 

[Charismatic Enigma]

I remember hearing on the dirtsheets at the time that it was because she was gaining too much weight thus the whole "Piggie James" angle. No one really knows though I'm sure outside of WWE.

Hey genius, there's a little problem with your "demands for verification". When the WWE releases someone, all they say is "the WWE has come to terms with the release of Micky James". They don't release a fucking press statement saying we didn't like her because she had a bad attitude. Idiot.

The only "verification" your gonna get is the reason posted on a site like WrestleZone. By the way, fucking Google it and you get about 70,000 results all saying the same thing. Don't be so lazy and demanding.

 

[nikvoodoo]

Mickie James got released because OP doesn't know how to form a thread correctly.

Vince saw it and was all like "This thread sucks.....I'm cutting Mickie James."

If you have a thought on the subject....it usually helps to post it first and not get crabby when people ask what your opinion is. Mickie's unprofessional behavior got her fired from the 'E.

 

[thegreatwhat]

I see by all the responses that people haven't brought up some of the points that I am here to make. Good thing I asked first. If I hadn't, instead of people biting my head off for not using Google when I already no damn well all these rumors myself, you would be biting my head off for "No Duh! We already knew that!"

When I ask for verification, I am wondering if someone, not necessarily Mickie herself, did an interview and acknowledged all that has been reported. Guess not.

Let me just start with the whole bus thing. No verification? Fine. You can still accept that as truth if you want. But do you people remember a certain backstage segment with Essa Rios and Kurt Angle? Angle made Essa look worthless by acting surprised Essa still worked there, or something to that effect. Essa Rios got released a short time later. Mickie James got the "Essa Rios" treatment. Funny thing, it happened the week BEFORE the European tours reports say was the last straw for her. On the Smackdown before that, the same night Jack Swagger won the World title, Swagger had a backstage segment where he passed by Mickie, Tony Atlas, Jesse, and Shelton Benjamin. He only spoke to Shelton, saying something along the same lines Angle said to Essa Rios. In the weeks of Spring Cleaning that followed, all 4 people Swagger went by got released. 4 out of 4 may just seem as a coincidence, but when you combine it with the fact that the WWE has done this kind of thing before, it really is not a coincidence in my book. Mickie was on the list to be released before any European tour where she may or may not have been late for a bus.

Oh, and if you doubt that this segment occurred, you don't have to believe me. Use your precious Google.

Not to be a dick or anything, but why make a thread asking the real reason she got fired? Unless Vince McMahon or someone else from WWE is on theses forums you wont get the real reason. We've heard the rumors of her attitude, always being late, stocking a married wrestler as reasons why. But only WWE management know the real reason.

I've heard the reason, but how many people have paid attention to how they have been pushing her throughout her career? How many people have paid attention to how the WWE pushes their divas since the diva division was created over a decade ago?

Those are rhetorical questions. Don't answer that. Answer this. Why does there have to be such a controversy over Mickie's release? From my understanding the majority of people released in Spring Cleaning are simply people the WWE no longer has further use for. So what's so big about releasing Mickie James?

See? This is how this thread should have started. State your opinion on why she was released, provide your evidence and then ask for people's thoughts. I won't say you would have received a less dicky response because this is the WZ forums after all.....

Of course you'll also have to realize that WWE generally gives talent some final facetime before they release them. Like most recently Kozlov. So if they can't find an in ring segment for them, backstage will have to do. And last I checked, I don't think there was a controversy. WWE cut ties with someone they didn't want to do business with anymore.

1. That wasn't an answer, it was a question.

2. Nobody but you has brought it up, nor do we really care. As far as I'm concerned, Mickie could've been fired because she didn't give Vince blowies on live television... and to be honest, it doesn't really matter. Mickie tarnished her own legacy when she went and did those videos that apparently aren't her, but it's hard to fight against video evidence.

3. Why sign up for a forum if you don't tend to stick around?

 

[keehlnate]

Mickie James was fired like what? A year ago? I think it's pointless to discuss about her anymore. She is in TNA now. Why don't you go and just watch her there?

I don't think there is a controversy over her release at all. Sure, it was kind of surprising, but thats about it. I don't think she was any bigger deal than Shelton Benjamin (multiple time champion), Kozloff (world title contender), or David Hart Smith (son of British Bulldog).

At the end of the day none of the Divas really matter. They are far more replaceable than male wrestlers. There merchandise is negligible. There on TV ten minutes a week. And, for the most part, they aren't that talented. Nobody buys PPV's or DVD's because of the one Divas match on it. They really don't have any leverage with the company. There's an endless amount of good looking women out there that could be as talented in the ring as Kelly Kelly with two weeks training.

 

[thegreatwhat]

Yeah, the WWE gives them time on TV before their release, but that is not my point at all. My point is that they knew she was going to be released even before the European tour, where rumors say she did whatever led to her release.

Why discuss Mickie James being released when it happened a year ago? For one thing, the same thing that got her fired is still going on today in the WWE.

Okay, the divas don't matter. That's fine. So the WWE just pushes them with no regard to overness? They don't care about who is over or who they want over?

If there was no controversy over Mickie James getting released, why do I see so many rumors about it? Whenever she would get a depush, rumors would pop up that she was either in trouble or injured. If Mickie James was not such an important person, why so many rumors on her when she seems to be just a basic diva?

 

[Ubiquitous]

You're making a mountain out of a molehill, man. No disrespect, but there's a lot of
People with computers that have nothing better to
Do than to just retype rumors they read about with their own opinions and hope they get a whopping 20 hits on their blog or whatever. That's just how it is. Mickie was a multiple time champion in wwe, and was featured as prominently as any diva can be, so she'd be the equivalent of your lower midcarder. There's not a whole lot of "rumor" compared to the Mr.
Kennedy release (which we know all about now, obviously) or to bring up something more recent, CM Punk not resigning with WWE. Im not exactly sure why you think something so trivial is worth a heated debate on these fair forums, but apparently quite a few disagree.

 

[DivaDivision]

this matters.... why?

shes on twitter. ask her.

So, where is the proof that WWE knew that she was going to be released before the european tour then?? WE need verification. There is no proof of this. Look, it's simple, she was getting heavy, ok. They did the whole Piggy James thing to hint to her that maybe she should lose the weight. Maybe, she didn't want WWE to produce her album. That makes sense to me. Now, even if WWE may have been thinking that she would be let go, it was obvious, she was late, at from what I know, these wrestlers are to be places at a certain time. Bus, arena, photo shoot, etc. She screwed up and, well paid the price. I'm sure that she is happy right where she is now in TNA.

 

[xoxo French Kiss xoxo]

Mickie James was released for sticking a high heel shoe in some dudes ass and getting caught on camera.

Look it up, seriously

 

[Mustang Sally]

And where is the verification of the bus rumor?

Here you go: Actual footage of her holding up the bus.
