[8.0] "Woefully underrated. Jackie Moore came to prominence in an era and country not suited for the sort of skills she had. Not all that good on the mic but a complete legitimate badass motherfucker who could have been a star with a mouthpiece to hype her up in a company that could leverage what she excelled at. I'm imagining what could have been if she'd been in AJW in the 90s and man, imagine the matches she'd have put on there. WWE utterly wasted her except in backstage skits with Bradshaw and Ron Simmons where she looks cooler and is more of an actual scary badass in reality than either of them. TNA almost got her right but I think she unfortunately passed her wrestling prime at that point and all the WWE-isms she had to do diluted her in-ring work from that point onwards. She's a ten in my heart but I can't give her more than an eight which is still probably rather high based on most of her career if we're being "objective", but fuck it. Let's give the lady her dues as a trailblazer in the states even if she never reached her full potential. She could still most likely kick the shit out of the overwhelming majority of the users of this website even at her advanced age anyways."
[7.0] "All respect to Jacqueline, one of the true pioneers of women's wrestling in North America, and one of the best in ring workers of the late 1990s and the early 2000s. Deserves a lot more day to day praise"
[9.0] "Jacqueline Moore is a true pioneer in professional wrestling, standing out with her toughness, athleticism, and fearless presence during a time when women were often treated as eye candy rather than serious competitors. She was one of the first African-American women to win the WWE Women's Championship and competed in a range of roles, from wrestler to manager to trainer. Jackie brought intensity to every match and proved she could go toe-to-toe with anyone, including male wrestlers (one of the few women who held the cruiserweight belt). Her work in WWE, TNA, and other promotions earned her respect from fans and peers alike. While she may not always get the recognition she deserves, her impact is undeniable. She helped break barriers and set the stage for the women's evolution that would take shape years later"
[8.0] "She was not that memorable, but her wrestling skills were unmatched! She held multiple titles and made other women look great in the ring. I think she's low ranked because she wasn't sexy or charismatic, but come on, be realistic a bit with your rating."
[9.0] "No idea why people Ranked her so low. Wish they'd explain. Kinda insane because she was an amazing wrestler. I understand and agree that she had horrible mic skills and charisma and was kinda bland at times, but that's nothing compared to her in-ring ability. if you compare Stacy Keibler's charisma and good looks with her wrestling skills and switch them you get Jackie."
[10.0] "Jackie was so ahead of her time. She was tough in the ring and was always putting on great matches. She took every opportunity she got and opened the doors for every single future African American wrestler - male or female. Solid on the mic, always delivered with the character development. I loved her backstage fights especially this one with Lita. Im suprised that she has such a low raiting here. She deserves more recognition because of what she brought to the table and how amazing she really was. Love her."
[8.0] "Wow crazy low ratings! She was Chyna way before Chyna as Miss Texas. Beyond solid in the ring for as long as I can remember. Crazy strong for her size and had above average ability. When she fought men early on you always thought she had a chance. Tough as hell. 14x USWA champ and 2 times WWE champ"
[8.0] "Original Comment left on Nov 28th 2022, the write up is essentially the same but she's better than the seven I first gave her: Total Dynamite! Wowed many of us right away by carrying herself like an already proven commodity; she started in '88 but you'd swear she started in '85 as she seemed ready for the big time immediately. Her promos were always a serious issue though, so it was always best to leave her actions to do the speaking. Another negative would be the Harlem Heat thing just didn't click. Always kept in jaw dropping/outstanding shape, remained a fluid, dynamic and assertive worker. The assertiveness was sometimes a curse in her era though; some of her sweeps and spinning kicks overwhelmed many and those moments looked bad, she deserved talent on her level but most were far lower. Ups and downs based upon booking/opponents, but she was an over achiever and we appreciate that! Augmented score: 8.25"
[9.0] "I think Jacqueline was truly ahead of her time, and I'm glad that she was recognized by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. She was a hard hitter, and always showed out in her matches in WWF. I wish she had stayed a bit longer, as it would've been interesting to have her as a mentor during the Diva's era."
[8.0] "A certified hall of famer if you ask me. A tough, hard working competitor that you can't deny gave alot to the business whether it be as a wrestler, trainer, valet or referee. Deserves a higher rating than she has, a five outta ten doesn't quite do her justice, in my opinion."
[7.0] "Jacqueline is a bit tricky to rate. A good wrestler and manager, but her mic skills left a lot to be desired (and were sometimes unintentionally funny). She was a real hard worker and team player, doing whatever was asked of her, even if it was way below her, like jobbing to Sable and going topless. I felt bad for her when usually came out to no reaction. Seems very grateful for what she was given and speaks well of people when interviewed. Deserves a higher rating than she has."
"Her rating is way too low, Jackie was and still is an amazing wrestler a had great matches with some of everyone favorites. She is admittedly snug but that's what's made it look better. She shouldn't been more than a 2 time wwe women's champion and at least one reign with the tna knockouts title. She brought the best out of a lot of women and could lead the blind to a decent match. Here's to hoping for a small run im sure she has it in her."
[9.0] "Jacqueline deserved so much better during her career. Her accolades are there, but there was so many gaps and so little matches to show just how talented she was in the ring. She was one of a kind and her presence added a lot to whatever promotion she was a part of or angle she was involved in."
[9.0] "Unlike some other physically fit women who could've been a challenge to men (Tori, Jackie Gayda, Nidia) Jacqueline wasn't a waste of time. Instead, she had muscles and badness to back up her boasts. Whether Jacqueline or Jackie Moore, she could mix it up and show her stuff in the best way. In fact, I remember thinking "Is she going to face Chyna for the I-C Title? " I for one, really wish she had, as Jacqueline was like Lita, Chyna, Nicole Bass, and Molly Holly who redefined what a "Diva" was due to her drastic deviation from the cookie-cutter Barbie dolls that many other women were at the time. Hall of Fame caliber? Certainly. Legend? Yes Greatest of All-Time? That may be stretching it a bit, but she is definitely a top contender for that honor. Very good, very talented, very tough. A great combo of wrestling aspects all wrapped up in a woman who had no fear."
[10.0] "Is Jackie a 10? No. Am I going to rate her a 10 anyways due to the pure lack of knowledge from some? Absolutely I am, I don't understand how one can rate her so low to get her rating to 4.98.. This makes Jackie below average when she is not. I know this rating would be closer to in between adequate to satisfactory, but I would personally place Jackie in the 8 (good) category as she was one of the few women of her era who actually cared about the match itself and she was one of the few who wasn't all about sex appeal."
[10.0] "Jacqueline is one of the most talented woman that had been in the mainstream of WWE, she is a piooner for Women's wrestling and especially for black women's wrestling or only black wrestling in general. She is an icon, she is legend and she is the moment. Jacqueline deserves her flowers, she had great matches with Ivory, Lita, Trish Stratus, Victoria and Molly Holly. She carried the re introduction of the WWF Women's Championship in 1998, and she made Sable look decent as a babyface too. Even in 2018 she showed that she still got it. Her run in TNA was also Iconic, I hope she get more recognitions in these days."
[10.0] "Jacqueline Moore is one of the toughest wrestlers in the history, she had formidable in ring skills and was a lot of fun whenever she was on TV, she had personality and good looks, she really carried Sable and made her a star, she was one of the pillars for the women's division so many years, she had plenty good matches with Jazz, Ivory, Lita, Trish Stratus, Victoria & Molly Holly. Her TNA run was really good too even though she didn't win the title (she should've). She is a trailblazer and the first woman to appear in the PWI ranking list, she was used to wrestle men before WWE and you can tell because how stiff she was, in her WWE return for Royal Rumble 2018 she was just as good as she left, I don't think people really understand the impact that Jackie had. Plus she's a really funny wrestler, her backstage segments were the best."
[8.0] "One of the toughest pro wrestlers of her era, regardless of gender. Without someone like her, the WWF women's division would have never stood a chance in the late 90s. Her run in Memphis is incredible, she became a hall of famer in the WWE, and helped legitimize James Storm as a top heel in TNA. I can't help but wonder what a Miss Texas run in AJW would have been like..."
"It is a shame that Jackie has this rating. These days she will be a top talent and more well recognised. She had great achievments for that period, but still too underrated"
[8.0] "Great wrestler, managed to carry some not so good talent to watchable contests. Strong presence and very intimidating for a woman of such small stature."
[8.0] "Love Miss Jackie. Jacqueline Moore is awesome. An absolute bad ass with tremendous longevity and a lot of Championship success. She helped break ground with intergender wrestling and holding ? men? s? titles too, despite never being presented like Chyna. She? s an icon from the attitude Era but made considerable contributions to USWA, TNA and others."
[10.0] "Jackie was responsible for Women's wrestling reaching it's current mainstream height. At her peek every major company wanted her. This is why women that are regarded as legends and hall of famers in their own right still cite Jacqueline as their inspiration... Many of whom she mentored and trained. There are a handful of women in each era that kept women's wrestling alive when it was at risk of being overtaken by Divadom. Remove her from history and you are on a path to Stacy Keiblar and the Kat women's title runs that would rival Bob Backlunds. She gets very little credit for holding the entire division up at times, in multiple companies. Her promos and feuds in the territories are some of the best in women's wrestling history. If she were Caucasian it is arguable that she would be one of the most decorated women of all time- but she was always placed into demeaning roles and used as supplementary talent despite being able to legit manhandle every woman put across from her. For decades companies would put her in angles where white women spit in her face on camera or pull off her clothing on live tv, and she had to accept these storylines or risk being blackballed. That is why in 2021 it is great to see that black women can simply be good at wrestling and get to showcase that without the degradation that Jacqueline suffered because of her sacrifices that WWE never, ever, talks about. So Jackie thank you! There are some who appreciate your hard work!"
[5.0] "I am mixed on Jacqueline's overall career, she had longevity and passion for wrestling compared to the other women of the day showed she was really dedicated to her craft and to the industry vs using wrestling as a stepping stone into something else like modelling or acting. I will give her the credit that she was willing to do anything in the ring, whether it be wrestling matches (hardcore, gimmick matches included), managing, to even willing to do degrading spots. Overall, she was a great team player and a crucial piece in the woman's division in WWE and TNA, but needed the right character to play. Her USWA, WCW, and TNA stuff played to her strengths, but her WWE tenure really did her no favors and exposed her weaknesses. After watching a lot of her pre-WWE career, it was almost like watching two different people. She carried herself like a star in the USWA. While her mic work was often cringe worthy, she had this charisma and presence that made her seem raw and special. The potential great ring work was there too, but she should have done a more tours of Japan to work with better talent that she didn? t work with in the USWA. The additions of the breast implants did her no favors to her wrestling skills. If anything she stagnated and was considerably slowed down by them as she was aging and made her into a joke that everyone will remember her for. But I agree with the comments that her ring work was overrated. She was smooth in the ring with her execution of her moves, but she did not do anything that really stood out. Nor She did not connect with the crowds like a Trish Stratus did or have the flashy moveset like Lita. At the same time, she was overshadowed by other built women like Jazz and Victoria who carried themselves much better and were just as good as her in the ring."
[2.0] "She wasn't good on the mic & I don't think she's as good in the ring as people say she is. But to be fair even though she lacked the skill she showed that she cares about her matches compared to the other girls back in the day."
[8.0] "Aside from not being the best on the mic , jacqueline could hold her own amazingly in the ring back in the day. Sadly , her in-ring work is often overlooked it appears."
[8.0] "Very very good wrestler and a powerhouse for her size capable of defeating a lot of men and did on occasion. She never got quite as big of a WWE push as she should have."
[5.0] "Jackie never really did it for me & I think she failed to get the women's division over the way people like to think back on. I do give her credit for not being one of the talentless models that were par for the course back then, but Jackie was not charismatic or skilled enough to make people want to see more women's wrestling."
[10.0] "Can someone please explain to me, why the hell does the great Jacqueline Moore, a WWE Hall of Famer, has such a low rating? The only flaw I find with her is that her mic skills weren't the best, but heck was she one of the most talented women in the Attitude Era. She did suffer bad booking by having short reigns, and losing the Women's title to inferior competitors like Sable and Stephanie, but she also impressed the WWE universe by having real intergender matches, even to the point where she became Cruiserweight champion. It's sad that age's catching up to her, but her appearance in the first Women's Royal Rumble was a very nice addition."
[8.0] "Underrated individual. She was great and broke barriers for black women in professional wrestling history. She was the first colored women's champion."
[7.0] "Stiff before US women's wrestling was supposed to be, much to the chagrin of her the fellow divas when she arrived! She'd beat you down with a fierce arsenal of kicks, punches and dirty tricks. If I were booking WWE back then, better believe she'd take down Lita and Trish regularly (Molly would have too)!"
[7.0] "She was alright as a wrestler. Loved her growing up because seeing a strong black woman kick ass was awesome. Good wrestler during a time where the company still only cared about how the girls looked than if they were decent in a ring. Low rating has nothing to do with her being black. Calm down big fella"
[9.0] "It truly boggles the mind how Jacqueline has such a low rating on here. Utterly ignorant and undeserved. She was one of the most believable women wrestlers of the 90s in an era when US women's wrestling badly regressed and she continued to be a top wrestler in the 00s. Jacqueline was one of the few women at the time who knew how to strike and her suplexes were awesome. This hard hitting style has become a norm in US women's wrestling, so Jackie was ahead of her time! Her matches in USWA as Miss Texas against Tasha Simone were some of the best women's bouts of the time. She even wrestled men on a regular basis, many of whom put her over as legitimately tough. Her short WCW run as valet for Kevin Sullivan and later Harlem Heat was extremely entertaining. While she might not have been a major star and her mic skills weren't great, she was a pillar of WWE's women's division during Attitude and Ruthless Aggression. Her aggressive style and years of experience brought out the best of green women. Maybe the low rating on here is ignorantly based on her Attitude era run where she was surrounded in a sea of talentless models and she only got to work competitive matches against the likes of Ivory or Luna in 1999. She later went on to TNA to feud with Gail Kim in 2007, their matches were so good that they laid the groundwork for what became the Knockouts division. Everyone from JR to Steve Austin in their podcasts have put over how good Jackie is. Her WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2016 was finally vindication for an accomplished wrestler who never properly got her due in the late 90s and early 00s."
[10.0] "damn. this low rating has me convinced that no matter how good of a talent a POC is, they will always be discriminated against. it's just sad. i thought it was 2018 and people were better than this, but i guess they can't see past skin color. this woman deserves more respect than that."
[7.0] "Jacqueline always felt like she was a legit wrestler to me and not just an act taught to do so. Her feuds with Sable were the most memorable to me."
[7.0] "Eine Frau, die sehr viele "Firsts" in ihrer Vita hat und das allein zeigt schon, dass sie nicht die schlechteste war. Für die absoluten Spitzenwerte reicht es dann aber dennoch nicht, denn sie war eben doch nur solide, in einer Zeit, wo das eben schon herausragend war. Es freut mich, dass sie mittlerweile die Anerkennung seitens WWE bekommt, die sie verdient hat."
[10.0] "The wrestler who got me to start watching on a regular basis. She even best up the men. I have no idea why her rating is so low, what a travesty. Jacqueline is a diamond in the rough, and was a highlight of the attitude era and even for awhile afterwards."
[10.0] "Jacqueline is great! She was the cornerstone for both the WWE and TNA women's divisions. She super great at everything she does! She's magic in the ring, and good enough on the mic. It's great that she's in the Hall of Fame. Never has there been a woman as TOUGH in WWE as Jacqueline."
[9.0] "Jackie Moore is one of the best female wrestlers and all-around workers of all-time, way better wrestler than the her Cagematch rating indicates. She was able to elevate her opponents' ring work and very fluent ring performer, rather it was in the ring against guys or the ladies. Although Jacqueline was muscular and tough as it get in the business, she was very curvaceous and can model with the best of the WWE Divas. The only flaw I saw was her mic skills, which was average imo."
[10.0] "I cannot believe that WWE Hall of Famer Jacqueline has this low of a rating. Jacqueline was one of, if not these toughest female to ever lace up a pair of boots. While I get that some may only know her days once she hit WCW, WWE, and TNA---but she spent almost just as long wrestling men up until that time. I feel the mark of a good wrestler is making your opponent look good... look at what she did with Sable compared to the other "divas" of the time. She might not have been the flashiest, she may have been "too rough" for some of the ladies, but from everything I have seen or read, they ALL respected her."
[8.0] "Jacqueline was an excellent wrestler, but not that good on the mic. Fortunately she had an intimidating enough presence that she didn't really need to talk. Her facial expressions were always on point though, even if they were mostly in the 'no nonsense' range. Jacqueline nearly always had good matches, and I enjoyed her time in PMS and her upset win of the cruiserweight championship. She gave credibility to a women's division in the attitude era that included divas with little wrestling experience like Debra and The Kat."
[9.0] "It's absolutely ludicrous to see her rated so low on here. She was an excellent worker and one of the only women bringing legitimacy to WWE when she was around. She should be remembered for her tenacity and toughness. I can only think that there is some racism involved in the early votes on this page."
[8.0] "Jacqueline was a hard hitter despite her size and as tough as they come. She had a great run with the USWA in the early-mid '90s under the name Miss Texas, picking up a whopping 15 reigns with that company's Women's Championship and helping to reestablish respectable women's wrestling on the regional circuit. Considering the state of women's wrestling in the mainstream companies of her era, though, she seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - when in WCW, the company had no women's division to speak of, and she was cast as a valet for Harlem Heat, her only in-ring matches being a pair of matches against Disco Inferno; and while she had more success in WWF/E, picking up two runs with the Women's Title as well as a short run with the Cruiserweight belt, she was still often cast as a supporting player in the women's division despite being easily one of the most talented in-ring workers it had to offer. Had a decent final run with TNA before largely retiring in 2011 (she returned to that company for a pair of One Night Only events in 2013)."
[9.0] "Seriously folks? Jackie is rated even lower than Alicia Fox, WTH? Actually, both women are underrated and underappreciated by many and should be rated higher. Guess some can't see past their skin color. I realize black females usually don't go over well with fans in the bigger promotions but Jackie is one of the toughest in the biz so lets give her some respect. She may not be that good on the mic but in ring skills carry much more weight with me than any thing else and Jackie was great in the ring."
[9.0] "I Have seen Jacqueline wrestle many times, may not be much of a talker but she has great in ring skills. Not a big women but she is tough and can hold own against any woman and most men. On September 21, 1998 Jacqueline became the first African American woman to win the WWE (called WWF then) women's title. An accomplishment that should not be forgotten. Her low rating proves that black women get very little respect in pro wrestling. Sadly, most of the negative ratings seem to come from our European friends and focus on Jackie's time in TNA where she accomplished little because she was past her prime."
[9.0] "Miss Texas, Jackie Moore did something that very few "Divas" could during her time, she put up a believable fight. It seems, from what other women have said, that she legitimately stiffed a lot of her opponents. What could be seen as an outdated form of wrestling, served her well during her golden years, as she stood out for her strikes and her quickness."
[7.0] "These low ratings for Jackie Moore are very absurd. Jackie Moore was not known for being a trash talker but, she had her moments of flair with her steel cage match with Gail Kim in 2007 to losing her top in a Bikini contest with Sable in 1998 and to being the only female holding the Cruiserweight championship. And the only female to make the PWI 500 before a female version of it was ever made."
[10.0] "In my opinion, Jackie Moore is one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time. Her accomplishments, her in-ring skills, her toughness and her dedication as a wrestler and performer, make her someone that I not only admire, but highly respect as well. Whenever I see Jackie in a match, I'm excited, I'm impressed and I'm always entertained. I hope we see more of her in the near future."
[10.0] "I honestly have NO CLUE why she is so low. She is easily one of the best American women wrestlers. The Diva's division consisted of about 3 models until Jacqueline came along. She was one of the first real women wrestler's they brought back; if it weren't for her, Trish, Lita, and Jazz would've been competing in gravy matches and wedding gown catfights. Then, she went and did it again for the TNA Knockouts. She and Gail Kim had a long rivalry that made the TNA fans want their own women's division. Jacqueline has consistently been putting at the very minimum 7. 0 star matches since 1996! She's a blackbelt in martial arts, so she has the striking, she's a great mat wrestler, and can hardcore wrestler far better than most women. She also has enough technical skills to put on a good wrestling-clinic style match. Plus, even though I don't care much about looks, she was pretty enough to mess around with those gimmicky catfights."
[9.0] "It's truly amazing just how much she's accomplished in her long career. She helped revive women's wrestling in the late '90s and even held the WCW/WWE Cruiserweight title. Plus she's a legendarytrainer. For all she's done, she deserves more respect and recognition."
[7.0] "Ich fand Jacqueline immer schon toll. Gerade ihre Anfangszeit in der WWE bleibt mir immer in Erinnerung. Für mich eine der besten Diven die es jemals im Wrestling gab."
[8.0] "Völlig unterbewertet. Gute Wrestlerin und ein noch besseres Valet, das alle Tricks drauf hat und einstecken wie austeilen kann. Ihre Zeit an der Seite von James Storm und Robert Roode war großartig. Außerdem mag ich sie optisch, aber das ist natürlich Geschmackssache und ich kann da gegensätzliche Meinungen nachvollziehen. Ihre Mic Skills waren immer ziemlich unterirdisch, aber ich behaupte einfach mal, dass die während ihrer Karriere nie wirklich wichtig waren."
[10.0] "In my opinion, the best WWE Diva of the past 20 years. Jackie was perfect in everything she did, whether it was high flying or brawling. She could make even the worst of wrestlers look like Ric Flair. She wrestled against some of the best men and women in the business and never disappointed."
[8.0] "War früher mit das beste was das Frauen-Wrestling zu bieten hatte. Bei TNA hat sie dann eher weniger gefallen, was die Bewertung noch leicht nach unten zieht."
[10.0] "What a damn great wrestler. The pride of Tennessee was definitely underrated everywhere she went. She was beautiful. She moves well. She was strong, and she was a suplex machine. This woman had it all."
[10.0] "In der WWE und bei TNAW war sie underrated. Sie hätte mehr verdient. einen längeren run als champion hätte sie verdient und bei tna hätte sie den knockouts title verdient. im ring ist sie sehr gut und deswegen 10 punkte"
[10.0] "Ich verstehe nicht wieso sie so negativ bewertet wird damals in der WWF eine der Top Frauen und eine der besten Wrestlerinnen die ich je gesehen habe und ausserdem die erste schwarze Frau die jemals den Womens Championship getragen hat!"
[8.0] "Jacqueline ist sicherlich unterschätzt. Wrestlerisch überzeugend und auch am Mikrofon wirkt sie nicht überfordert. Die Optik spielt im Wrestling weniger eine Rolle (sofern es kein Teil des Gimmicks ist), aber einen Vergleich zu den meistens 20 Jahre jüngeren Barbies (Kelly, Candice, etc) muss sie auch nicht scheuen. Am Ende gibt es jedoch "nur" 8 Punkte, weil ihre Ringhähigkeiten zwar "gut" sind, aber nicht "sehr gut". Allerdings schafft sie es in ihren Matches den Zuschauer zu unterhalten, was den meisten Diven mit ihrem Pillow-Fights nicht gelingt."
[4.0] "Ja, sah auch in der WWE nicht viel anders aus ;) Aber davon abgesehen: Im Ring durchschnitt - bei den Knockouts fällt es immer stärker auf wenn eine Diva schlachter ist als in der WWE - sonst eigentlich sehr passend eingesetzt und auch ansonsten i. O."
[2.0] "Irgendwie ist sie nicht wirklich nützlich im Ring, als Valet irgendwie auch nicht... 2 Punkte für ihren "Veteranenstatus" als Womens Wrestler, mehr gibts aber nicht."
[6.0] "Kenne sie nur aus der WWE damals und da war sie meiner Meinung nach einer der besseren Divas. Sieht gut aus und hatte einige Skills, von denen manch andere Diva heutzutage (oder auch vergangener Tage) träumt."
[2.0] "Fast durchgehend der 2 Punkte Typ gewesen! Schlecht, aber wenigstens nicht bodenlos. Einzig die Zeit als Cruiserweight Champion war eine Vergewaltigung des Titels und wenn wir ehrlich sind, auch der meisten Zuseher auf diesem Erdball."
[4.0] "Wird hier viel zu schlecht gemacht, nur weil sie über 40 ist. Zwar im Ring nix besonders aber immer noch viel besser als dieses ganzen Diven die jetzt in der WWE sind."
