Michelle McCool hated the story ‘Piggy James’ and apologized to Mickie every week
In 2010, Mickie James was involved in a rivalry with WWE Divas Michelle McCool and Layla champion. The duo, known as Laycool, harassed James for overweight (obviously not true) and her nickname is “Piggy James”. For WWE, it was a real low point, and no one was even involved in a corner, including McCool.
McCool, which was recently announced as a 2025 WWE HALL OF FAME INTUCTEE, appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet and said she would apologize to James every week before they went to the ring.
“I am acknowledged to this day, and I told someone the other day and I told her. But the whole story of Piggy James, I hated her in my heart, just for what was. You are harassing someone, allegedly having an overweight, and that was never me. Every week I’m going to her, ‘Mickie, I’m so sorry.
“(Mickie was) a complete professional. She never tried to change things, which often did the girls. She was not once. She’s like, ‘No, she’s fine. It’s okay.’ She knew two in Tango, she knew what her role was. She knew what our role was, and really, I mean, she put us on the ticket with that story,” McCool added.
