20 Worst WWE Wrestlers Since 2000
9. Jackie Gayda
Jackie Gayda's history of failure extends well beyond the notorious flopped 2002 tag match pitting her and Chris Nowinski against Bradshaw and Trish Stratus, but boy, what a flop it was.
Taking place on a random, inconsequential episode of Raw, the bout was a complete disaster. Much of this stemmed from Gayda's performance. Just one month removed from her stint on Tough Enough's second season, it was abundantly clear that Jackie wasn't ready for television, as she and Trish botched their way through several awkward exchanges. The worst moment came towards the end, when she sold her opponent's flying Bulldog several minutes too late, prompting Jim Ross to groan "mercifully, it's over," at the bout's conclusion, putting a bow on its failure.
To be fair to Jackie, this was just the fourth televised bout of her career, and she had never even set foot in a wrestling ring prior to Tough Enough. Her collapse wasn't her fault, but that doesn't exclude her from consideration. The fact is that Gayda just wasn't suited to an in-ring role, and WWE realised this, re-positioning her as a manager for much of her run.
