If all you saw of Jackie Moore’s career was her induction to the WWE Hall of Fame, you’d believe she was a pioneer who set the WWE ablaze, paving the way for a whole generation of women’s wrestlers. While it’s hard to argue that she didn’t achieve a lot in her run, it seems very convenient for WWE to have retroactively presented her as a dominant force of the women's division around the time of Wrestlemania 32 (which featured the retirement of the Divas name and title), and suspiciously less-so afterwards.

Jackie had a long history before WWE, dating back to 1991 on the independent circuit (including a brief stint in WCW). Unfortunately for Jackie, she joined WWE in the wake of Alundra Blayze and had to carry Sable through the late 90's boom of eye-candy instead of wrestling. She was a mainstay of the Attitude era, and was released in 2004 when creative was at a loss as to how to utilise her, despite having a stacked roster of talented female wrestlers to pair her with.

She made the rounds of TNA, working with other mainstays of this list like Mickie James and Gail Kim. For a brief period in the late 00’s, the Knockouts division was everything the WWE is trying to create today, but cast with wrestlers WWE didn’t see the worth in keeping around.
