Just a few minutes from the official release of Mickie James, rumors about what led to this vary from weight issues and her music career to problems during the European Tour.
It appears that Mickie was fired because she arrived late for the bus on multiple occasions during the European tour thus holding up travel.
That added to her being disciplined by being sent to SmackDown! some months ago after substandard performances and issues with her weight. WWE is also not happy with her music aspirations. This was something that happened to Maria some time ago. it is reported that WWE does not like that their talent take outside projects while working a full-time WWE schedule.
Sources also note that she had just beaten a bad staph infection and managed to return in time for Wrestlemania and many felt she should have been more professional in her dealings with WWE.

INSANELY DUMB from WWE - losing a Divas icon for such stupid reasons? Especially if she goes to Knockouts, WWE will be giving a special prize to TNA

The reason for Mickie James' release is that Vince is too busy getting his ass eaten out by Batista to figure out what gives normal people an erection anymore.

#2 and #3 are official dumbasses.It's a damn shame you 2 are obligated to an opinion. Hopefully TNA can welcome Mickie back with open arms as Alexis Laree.

Welcome back Alexis Laree I would imagine.
Tougher style in the knockouts will suit her fine.

#3 you are an abdsolute idiot! Mickie James was, is and will always be one of the best divas WWE ever had and she surpasses Beth Phoenix on so many levels. So what is she gained some weigth? She still looked better than the entire diva roster!!

They released her and her weight was an issue? Sorry? How the hell does that work? Look at Matt Hardy whose had and has got weight issues, and he's still there (though maybe for not much longer) so that just sucks.
She also is not the first WWE superstar that has had issues with being late. She's better off without WWE, to be honest, the state of women's wrestling in WWE is a sad pitiful joke. Their loss will be the indy's scenes gain. As for Mickie, she'll be going back too her roots.
Good luck too her whatever she chooses to go or do. I, for one, will miss her,

weight issues? So you want all the divas to be like twigs, like michelle McCool? Mickie will be remembered well.
btw
Mickie is way hotter than Michelle McCool and Layla
hopefully, TNA will accept her for who she is...
Oh yea, what about CM Punks lady?

I hear alot of TNA fanboys already declaring her welcome to TNA when THERE HASN'T BEEN AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF HER GOING THERE! Who knows, after a month, she might be back, Cryme Tyme did it before.

Why does WWE have a problem with Mickie James making music? Why is it ok for John Cena to put out a rap CD or Chris Jericho to have his band Fozzy, but not ok for Mickie James to have a music project?
BIG mistake by WWE for releasing Mickie James! It is a decision they will soon regret!

WWE has commited a huge error, releasing her for lateness and music? Sorry, are they okay? She will always be intelligent, pretty, talented and niece looking. WWE, you are commiting a great error releasing the best WWE nowadays and the best Womens Champ ever. Best wishes MJ.
