They superimposed a pig nose onto Mickie's picture and even used the old Loony Tunes, "That's all folks." Mickie left in tears. Agahzi wrote: "I guess there goes VKM sending another message. I almost left after that. Enough with picking on women for their weight. I mean, shit, have ya' seen Mickie lately?? Would you kick her out of bed?? Me neither. Tasteless."

Meanwhile, Mark wrote: "Stupid video afterwards with Michelle McCool on a farm calling Mickie a pig. At least James isn't void of charisma."
