Piggie James

[Impact Zone's #1 DUMMY...YEAH]

Now that this angle is officially done with Mickie's release, how soon before this angle gets inducted?

[B.B.M]

Knowing Wrestlecrap....a few hours from now

[ahmerali]

Cue the sad music to start next week's show. Extended moment of silence?

[Nacho STAYS Hyped]

Blade himself said he wasn't offended by the angle, and laughed at everyone who got all up-in-arms over it. I doubt it will be inducted.

[kanedagame]

It's a shame when a nice thick woman gets called "piggy" because she's not 90 pds. They did the same thing with Molly Holly.

[Deleted]

It shouldn't be inducted, it wasn't bad. People are just overly sensitive and like to cry about everything nowadays. It was a way to get sure-fire heel heat, and it worked - just like trashing the local town.

[Raging_Demons]

It should be inducted because it was plain stupid.

If Mickie James was being called "Piggie" by someone, let's say, the size of Awesome Kong then it would be funny. Stupid, but funny! And some potential.

But Mickie being called fat by someone who looked like one of "The Anorexic Twins" from "The Insider" was completely illogical & stupid.

Adding to it there are actually SHEEP out there that see WWE Divas as "heroes", it had the potential to f-up a little girl or two.

[Gummydavidson]

This deserves a induction, the whole angle dosen't deserve one though

[johnnyk9]

It is Wrestlecrap worthy but making fun of someone for a weight issue that's just wrong

[Notifications Gone]

INDUCT THIS NOW!

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

I don't know, it was really the best thing to happen with a Divas angle in years and the payoff was quick and sweet. I'd rather have more things like that than "I want the title for no reason, bad matches and 1 promo over 2 months then I have the title/You win but".

And isn't that why Cherry got fired too?

OK, I know some of you won't like me going this far discussing a wrestling storyline, but nonetheless....WARNING: soapbox speech ahead., which may or may not bring Nancy Grace to mind at parts.

I think what's wrong with this angle is that it was based too much in reality, according to the remark in the induction. Which on one point is part of why I don't watch the WWE (or most mainstream current stuff) anymore...because they get too mean-spirited against anyone who they feel needs to be "punished" or (in the case of the inVasion or anyone who came after that from other companies) are not WWE creations. It feels like this has gotten worse post-WCW-death indeed. And I don't watch wrestling to see on-screen disciplining with nothing behind it. (oddly, I didn't mind Adonis, since he was mentioned in the article. First, I was not a smark by any means. Second, it was the '80s, when EVERYONE had to have a gimmick. Third, Adrian did play the character well)

Second, if weight issues was why the WWE went sour on Mickie, well, in all fairness it's a big problem in showbiz in general today. Regardless, I dislike it even more than the first point. It's probably always been a problem, but it got worse by 1000x or more since the late '90s (the start of the Britney era). Meaning, now EVERYONE has to look the same to get a break. (Gee, a race of "perfect" people with blond hair and blue eyes, where have I heard this before?) As such, there is no more variety, and often, no more talent. I am equally bothered by TV/movie/music execs' similar aversion to anything or anyone "old" because they think the younger viewers won't get it...related also to the induction this week cause that is why we don't see Looney Tunes anymore on TV (NO, Loonatics DID NOT count!!!!).

And it can be just as dangerous to the women as wanting hosses has been to the men , even though the latter is aggravated by the greater knowledge of drug use and all the deaths it caused and still causes (which is why people still doubt the Wellness Policy, BTW). But really, when you want a woman to look a certain way, you often put her health in danger. Will a WWE diva have to be killed Karen Carpenter style (yes, "killed," as I think society killed KC for that want for perfection) in order for that to be considered for Wellness?

Speech over.

But one more thing, when "Alexis Laree" inevitably returns to TNA, after reading this week's entry, I'd say she'd be at least one person who earned the right to a Bitter Shoot On The WWE (TM) upon her debut.

[Todd Pettengill]

She's Fat.

[mydixiewrecked]

I actually like the Piggie James angle
the fact that it got 95% of the IWC so butthurt makes it pure win IMO

[Renslayer]

This angle isn't WrestleCrap imo. There was nothing in it that I found to be blatantly offensive or ridiculous in it.

[SAJ Forth]

I hated mutiple things about this whole thing. That A) I heard Michelle Taker had an eating disorder at some point in her life. B) Calling someone who gains a few pounds fat, yeah she gained a noticable amount, but is going all Steiner on her ass a good idea? And C) Mickie only briefly had her head held high at the end. Otherwise, it was almost entirely Michelle Taker

[Brian Suntan]

It's not Wrestlecrap, it was a good angle with a good payoff.

I might be wrong on this, but generally you're not supposed to agree with the bad guy.

[Andrew is Good]

I liked this angle, except the beginning of it, like, that video deal was pretty lame.

Unless their Steiner.

Yeah, I think I might agree here. I was more offended with Triple H's "Your kind of people don't deserve to be champion" or JBL getting nazi heat than this.
