Long before the Women's Revolution was a thing, there were a few Divas who were able to hold their own in the ring.

One such lady was Mickie James, who debuted in WWE in 2005, and impressed everyone with her in-ring ability as well as her acting ability as a character.

But after an incredible career, she was gone, after being released in early 2010.

The move certainly left many fans scratching their heads, as James had been part of the tasteless Piggy James angle, which parodied the company's genuine views on her appearance.

It seems unlikely that the company would fire her just for her alleged weight issues, and though the country star did return full-time in 2016, her departure from the company still has many fans completely perplexed.
