Jacqueline Moore

Women's Champion (1998-2000)

Moore rejoined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in mid-1998, debuting on the June 1 episode of Raw as the new on-screen girlfriend of Marc Mero,^[12] to later began a feud with the estranged wife of Mero, Sable.^[1] Sable defeated Moore in a bikini contest on July 26, 1998, at Fully Loaded: In Your House after Sable removed her halter top to reveal a painted on bikini top.^[13] WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, however, disqualified Sable for not wearing a traditional bikini, and Moore was declared the winner.^[14] Moore and Mero were defeated by Sable and Edge on August 30 at SummerSlam.^[15] On the September 14, 1998, episode of Raw, she would also wrestle Sable in a controversial evening gown match which saw one of her breasts exposed.^[16]

In September with the revived WWF Women's Championship on the line (the Women's Championship had been abandoned in December 1995),^[17] Moore defeated Sable to become the new champion, and the first African-American Women's Champion.^[18] Two months later at Survivor Series, Sable defeated Moore to become the new champion.^[19]

Moore and Mero separated on the November 22 episode of Sunday Night Heat, and the jilted Moore formed a new alliance of women known as the Pretty Mean Sisters (PMS) with Terri Runnels, who was separated from her husband, Goldust.^[20] During a match between Mero and Goldust on the November 23 episode of Raw, Jacqueline and Terri entered the ring and low-blowed both men.

They originally formed an alliance with D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry, accompanying them to the ring for a match against Val Venis and The Godfather in December at Rock Bottom: In Your House.^[21] In January, Terri claimed to have suffered a miscarriage after she was knocked off of the ring apron by Brown.^[1] The guilty Brown became a servant to PMS, who forced him to wrestle his friend, Mark Henry. The deception lasted until February 1, when the ringside doctor told Brown that Terri had not been pregnant. PMS then feuded with Brown by costing him matches and attacking his new manager, Ivory. Jacqueline returned to the women's division in March, and on the April 12 episode of Raw, she, Ivory, Tori, and Sable took part in a four-way match for the Women's Championship. The match was declared a no-contest after Sable's bodyguard Nicole Bass stormed the ring and chokeslammed the three challengers.

In May, however, the women had switched their allegiance to a wrestler named Meat.^[22] That same month, the stable expanded once more to incorporate Ryan Shamrock, who had been spurned by the womanizing Val Venis. As part of the storyline, the three women used Meat for his body as a "love slave", forcing him to have sex with them and wear wrestling tights that resembled a pair of tight underwear.^[22] After Shamrock left the WWF, Terri and Jacqueline continued to assist Meat in his matches.^[22] However, tension began to grow between the two women as Terri, in storyline, exhausted Meat with hours of sex before his matches and then berated her fatigued lover when he lacked the energy to win matches and Moore finally end the alliance by July.^[20]

On the February 1, 2000, episode of SmackDown, Jacqueline won the WWF Women's Championship for a second time after defeating Harvey Wippleman (who had won the belt from Miss Kitty while in drag and calling himself "Hervina") in a Lumberjill Snowbunny match, a match that took place in a snow filled pool surrounded by female wrestlers whose purpose was to keep The Kat and Hervina from leaving the pool.^[23] She successfully defended her title against Luna Vachon, with whom she started a brief feud, however in March, she lost the title to Stephanie McMahon, following extensive interference from D-Generation X.^[24] In June she competed in the first-ever women's battle royal on Smackdown, to determine a #1 contender to Stephanie's title, but failed to win.

Throughout August and September, Moore had a series of matches against then-Women's Champion Lita, which included a Hardcore match^{[25][self-published source?]}, as well as against Dean Malenko for the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship, in which she was unsuccessful.

In late 2001, she took part in the Six Pack Challenge for the vacant WWF Women's Championship on November 18 at Survivor Series, which was won by Trish Stratus.^[26] Several weeks later, Moore challenged Stratus for the title at Vengeance.^[27] Stratus won the match after surprising Moore with a backslide pin.^[27]
