OWOW - Jackie Gayda Home Page

Ms. Jackie Gayda This buxom blond beauty has one of the best bodies in the WWE! At 5'7" tall and 137 lbs. Jackie Gayda has all her curves in exactly the right places.

Getting into the WWE was one of the toughest things she accomplished in her life, since she had to go through the WWF/E's "Tough Enough" competition, not once but twice!

In February of 2000 she tried out for a brand new show on MTV called, "WWF Tough Enough." Over 4,600 people applied, but only 250 were invited to "WWF New York" to interview. She was one of the 250 people, that eventually were weeded down to 25 semi-finalists. From the remaining 25, 13 were chosen to be on the cast and unfortunately Jackie found herself as one of the people cut. If you watch the first season's one-hour "Audition Episode" (the first episode), you can catch a cameo appearance of her saying, "This is so awesome."

Coming so close to making the show, only to be let go, was pretty disappointing. In the months that followed, she kept herself busy although she felt that she had blown her shot at being "tough enough". "I was going to school, working, doing some modeling, training (myself and others), trying to fit a social life in there, somewhere, owning my own business, and working toward national certification in personal training."

Jackie In Lingerie MTV and the WWF announced that they would be taking applications for "Tough Enough 2" and once again Jackie concentrated on achieving her dream "to get on that darn show and win a contract with the WWF!" She sent in the application, a photograph, and a three-minute video of herself in character and then started the "waiting game."

This time, more than 6,400 people applied. 250 were invited to Las Vegas to audition. Once again she one of the 250. Again, of the 250, 25 were declared semi-finalists, but this time she made the cut with the 13 selected to be on the show. "The experience was once in a lifetime, for sure."

Her short WWE career has been marked with controversy. The first was when she was announced as the second female champion of Tough Enough II, along with Linda Miles, which meant that there were no male winners to progress from the competition. Most viewers were shocked, and to say the least, several of the male competitors were absolutely outraged. It was obvious that the WWE had really high hopes and plans for their new acquisition.

Jackie & Linda were both brought on WWE SmackDown! (06-06-02) and two nights later Jackie turned heel on Saturday Velocity (06-08-02) by stabbing her friend Linda in the back, by insuring that she lost her very first match! The very next SmackDown! show (06-13-02) Jackie was already teaming with the seasoned Trish in a match against Ivory (who had trained her) and her one-time friend Linda.

Two weeks later Jackie was already being declared a "Diva" as she appeared and the "Undressed Diva's" special (06-29-02). It seemed that things were going gangbusters and then the world fell apart! Jackie was teamed with Chris Norwinski in a mixed tag match against Trish Stratus and Bradshaw on RAW (07-08-02) where she blew several BIG spots & was pretty much booed the whole way though!

Jackie and Rico After that fiasco Jackie & Linda both found themselves in OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling - the WWE minors) where Jackie joined the Revolution & become Victoria's assistant! Victoria quickly found out that Jackie was treacherous and that she wanted to be the # 1 female in OVW! Jackie intentionally cost Revolution a match & blamed the disaster Victoria. Victoria was kicked out of the Revolution & Jackie became the dominant female!

Her stay in the OVW lasted almost one year and finally on a Monday RAW (06-16-03) she reappeared to viewers as Ms. Jackie, Rico's valet. This strange coupling has worked quite well so far, and the duo has seen much success during 2003. To end the year with some more controversy, her nipple slipped out of her top during a match on a RAW broadcast.

To start off 2004 Ms. Jackie decided it was time to make a name for herself by doing something memorable for WWE fans, so during a January RAW TV broadcast she pulled her top down and flashed the arena audience, causing the WWE camera crews fits as they tried to insure that the TV viewing audience wouldn't be treated to the same view. She may not be a real good wrestler (yet) but she certainly has the "assets" to become one of the most desirable Diva's ever.

During April 2004 the WWE also Jackie's "Miss Jackie’s Jargon" column to the web site, as well as move Rico & Jackie to Smackdown! - it was rumored - primarily as an excuse to get Jackie there so she could be used in bikini and other related gimmick matches that Nidia’s role previously called for.

Unfortunately in July 2005 the WWE decided that they no longer wanted Jackie on the roster and rteleased her from her contract. By November that year she had a new contract with TNA Wrestling.
