Before the “Divas”, before pillow fights & bikini contests, before reality shows, there was a women who entered the world of professional wrestling and earned her way by not only her stunning looks, but her tenacity and toughness. Proving she was every bit as tough as the boys, Jacqueline, better known in her early years as Miss Texas, trail blazed her way all the way from the territories to the biggest stages in the world. Listen to Miss Jackie describe her early years as a chance meeting of legendary manager Skandor Akbar began a career that started in 1989 and is still going strong today. She speaks about how the character of “Sweet Georgia Brown” was conceived and her early days in FMW. She goes in depth about learning the “stiff” Japanese style that would later make her both respected and feared by her opponents. Her career shifts as she adopts the name “Miss Texas” in the hot bed of wrestling, Memphis Tennessee, working for the USWA. Listen as she describes in detail one of the most famous matches of her career as she battled “Dirty White Girl” and what it was like to have her head shaved. She speaks proudly of being crowned the first ever women’s USWA champion. She tells of how she was discovered by WCW and the tricks she used to get noticed by the second largest company at the time. Jacqueline tells the story of how she would submit photos via mail to the offices of WCW. Kevin Sullivan took notice of her look and eventually she was put with him as a manager but Jackie tells the hilarious story about how no one knew she was an actual wrestler.That is of course until she began body slamming Sullivans opponent to the delight of the crowd. She recalls her greatest moments and failures of her WCW run. She delights in her telling the story of pinning Disco Inferno then describes what it was like attempting to fill the shoes of The Sensational Sherri as manager of Harlem Heat. She then pulls no punches and calls out WCW management over her controversial release. Some of the most compelling tales come from her eventual hiring and amazing run during the attitude era of the WWE. RF VIDEO puts her on the hot seat as she dishes the dirt on everything that went on behind the scenes in the land of the divas. Did Sable generate the kind of heat we hear about? Is Trish Stratus overrated? Who were her closest friends and who didn’t she see eye to eye with? Miss Texas does not disappoint and tells all! She then describes her final days in the WWE and how management handled her release. This is just a mere brushstroke of the stories that were told and it was well worth the decade long wait it took to get Jacqueline in front of our cameras. You will here the highs and lows of a career of simply put one of the toughest women to ever grace the squared circle. You will here the love and respect come from the mouth of not a DIVA, not “eye candy”, but a professional wrestler in every sense of the word.
