WWE Hall Of Famer Jacqueline Reflects On Historic Cruiserweight Title Win

In a recent appearance on wrestling podcast “Ring The Belle,” WWE Hall of Famer Jacqueline Moore shared her thoughts on a ground breaking moment in her illustrious career – her WWE Cruiserweight Championship victory in 2004. This historic achievement not only marked a significant personal milestone but also etched her name in the annals of professional wrestling history as the first woman to capture the title in WWE.

Jacqueline’s triumph came during a memorable feud with Chavo Guerrero. The rivalry, which also involved Chavo’s father, Chavo Guerrero Sr., added depth and humour to the narrative, creating a memorable experience for the former Women’s Champion that she remembers fondly to this day.

Reflecting on her championship win, Jacqueline expressed immense gratitude towards Chavo Guerrero Jr. for his professionalism and willingness to collaborate on this storyline.

Chavo Jr. was such a pro. I have a lot of respect for him, to do this for me, to do this together. It was awesome.

The Hall of Famer also praised the overall storyline, which included memorable moments with Chavo Guerrero Sr. at ringside.

I love his father, he was so funny out there at ringside. I wrestled him too, the storyline was good, he took bumps for me, it was so good.

Despite her reign as Cruiserweight Champion being relatively short-lived, Jacqueline harbours no resentment. Instead, she focuses on the significance of the opportunity itself.

I didn’t hold the belt that long, I never even asked why they took the belt off me. I was just happy to have the opportunity to do something like that.

Jacqueline’s historic achievement as Cruiserweight Champion remains a testament to her skill, determination, and pioneering spirit in the world of professional wrestling. Her victory challenged gender norms in the male-dominated industry and paved the way for increased opportunities for female wrestlers in subsequent years.

As she concluded her reflections on this career highlight, Jacqueline’s words resonated with gratitude and pride.

It’s such a great moment and them putting the Cruiserweight title on me was awesome.

After leaving WWE in 2004, Jacqueline went on to continue here career in TNA, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2016. Jacqueline also was an entrant in the first Women’s Royal Rumble Match in 2018.
