Mickie James' Popularity

[JohnCenaFan28]

At last night's Cyber Sunday pay-per-view, Mickie James won the Divas Halloween costume contest after being voted the winner by the fans. James dressed up as Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider video game series. James won the contest last year as well, dressing up as a Native American, so she's won two years in a row. And quite like last year, Mickie James is currently on the back burner in the storylines in favor of other heavily pushed WWE Divas. Since losing the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam, which coincided with the return of Candice Michelle, James has done little of note and is frequently left off of Raw. Considering that James' costume wasn't nearly as revealing or sexy as several of the other Divas such as Candice Michelle, Kelly Kelly, Maria, or Michelle McCool, and that she's won it two years in a row, this should be a good indication that James is the most popular female on the WWE roster. As if that isn't enough, James won despite being the last Diva of sixteen Divas to display her costume, and she only had approximately 30 minutes to sway viewers as the Undertaker vs. Big Show match was sandwiched in between the two segments. Some of the other Divas such as Candice Michelle and Michelle McCool were shown early during the broadcast and had a huge head start on her as a result. Despite their huge head start - and huge pushes on television - they still could not defeat the often-left-off-of-Raw Mickie James.

Yeah, I definitely agree with this. Mickie is the top diva in the WWE, both in popularity and ability, and she's hardly ever on Raw, and when she is she never does anything of importance. And actually, it's not just her, the whole womens division on Raw has been doing absolutely nothing. Beth Phoenix hasn't done anything except be there for Santino's promos and get herself involved in his matches and what not.

Mickie's popularity makes me dislike her for some reason.

Lol, I guess that's just sorta what happens to certain things. Like bands for example, when they gain in popularity and become more mainstream some people claimed they 'sold out' and what not. I always thought it was stupid, but I'd say that's what this is too, something like that.

it should be on best costume.. maria or marsye should have won

[Super Klawz]

^People never vote on what the contest actually is thus Kelly Kelly beating Layla in best body contests.

I love Mickie. Not only is she smoking hot but she can GO in the ring like no other diva in the WWE save for Beth Phoenix and Natalya.

I completely agree she sucks

I completely agree she sucks

There's a difference from liking someone to saying that she sucks.

She is one of the few Divas that got into the company by her wrestling alone, and it's that that makes her popular. She's not shoved down our throats like other 'popular' divas either, the fans just like her. That's what I think anyway.
