Known around the net for years as That Jackie Gayda Match, the link above should highlight all of the reasons in which Gayda was one of the worst wrestlers in WWE. It's funny, really, when you think about how Moolah has received so much criticism over the last week thanks to WWE's recent push of her legacy. Wrestlers like Gayda are exactly the results of Moolah's decades-long stranglehold on women's wrestling. The quality suffered in every way imaginable; when a woman would reach a level of talent that would rival Moolah's popularity, that person was quashed under her boot thanks to her disturbing machinations. And the only other woman who broke the mold suffered being the victim of an unwanted WWF downsizing and made an extremely poor choice in order to get a job at a rival promotion.

Sure, you had new talents at the end of the Attitude Era coming into their own, but the business was trying to revitalize the women's division with attractiveness rather than talent, and so Jackie Gayda became a wrestler on national television. I feel just as bad for her as I do others on this list, but that doesn't help in the ranking process. What does help, however, is a decent track record as a valet. And when I say, "decent," I mean "barely acceptable but it didn't particularly offend, so it lands her slightly above other stuff which is worse."

I could go on but... actually, I couldn't go on. There's nothing to say, really. This is a dull nomination. 4/10 mediocre at best.
