Tired of being taken for granted (like refusing to let her name be announced) she finally decided to branch out on her own. After attempting to stop her teammates while they were beating on Jerry Lynn she issued a challenge to Jason. At Heatwave '99 she not only took him on, but defeated him soundly! Jazz then went on to quickly establish herself as the toughest woman in ECW by eagerly taking on both men or women until the demise of the ECW.
Two months later a Six Pack Challenge Match for the vacated (Chyna) Women's Championship Belt was announced for the Survivor Series PPV in Nov. 2001. This match would pit 3 Alliance (ECW/WCW) wrestlers (Ivory/Molly/Mystery Person) against 3 WWF wrestlers (Lita/Trish/Jacqueline) with the person getting a pinfall declared the new champion. Numerous rumors were posted on the Internet that the "mystery person" was Jazz. Jazz did make her formal debut in the company at Survivor Series. Ultimately, Trish Stratus came away with the victory and the championship that night. Several weeks later, Jazz attacked Stratus and Mighty Molly during a title defense. This led to a feud between Stratus and Jazz which led to Jazz defeating Stratus on the February 4, 2002 edition of RAW to win her first Women's Championship. The feud went on for several months with Jazz making successful title defenses against Stratus, Lita and Ivory. However due to a torn ACL, Jazz dropped the title back to Stratus in a Hardcore-Rules match on the May 13, 2002 edition of RAW, which also involved Bubba Ray Dudley and Steven Richards. Jazz returned in early 2003 and involved herself in the feud between Stratus and Victoria. During this time, she took on the managerial services of Teddy Long, which led to another WWE Women's Championship reign after defeating Stratus at Backlash 2003. She kept the title for several months but once more was forced to drop the title due to injury, losing it in a battle royal to Gail Kim on June 30.
She returned from injury in early 2004, but for the most part, she mostly wrestled on WWE HEAT and did not take part in any major feuds. Later that year, she became manager and valet for her real-life husband Rodney Mack before being released by WWE on November 4, 2004. From January 16, 2005 she started working on the independent circuit and appeared at the unofficial ECW reunion show, Hardcore Homecoming. In late 2005, Jazz and Rodney Mack opened Dirtysouth Championship Wrestling, an independent promotion based in Louisiana. DCW would be renamed Downsouth Championship Wrestling due to copyright issues. Jazz won the new DCW Louisiana State Title on June 3, 2006. Jazz also went on to perform in Women's Extreme Wrestling, where she won the company's World Heavyweight Championship in May 2005 in a Fatal Four M'enage Quatro Match against Angel Orsini, Mercedes Martinez, and Simply Luscious when the previous champion, Tai "Killer Weed", was forced to relinquish the title due to an injury. While still WEW champion, on June 24, 2005, Jazz defeated April Hunter to win NWA Cyberspace Women's championship. On May 4, 2006, it was confirmed on WWE's official website that Jazz would be a part of the new ECW brand. Jazz made her first appearance as part of the new ECW as a face during the WWE vs. ECW Head to Head show on June 7, where she faced the current WWE Women's Champion at that time, Mickie James in a losing effort. However, Jazz did not continue an on-screen role in the brand and only made a few appearances at ECW house shows before returning to Downsouth Championship Wrestling (DCW) in September. Though in ECW, she stayed under contract with WWE until January 18, 2007 when she, along with her husband and several other wrestlers were released by WWE. In May 2007, Jazz and Rodney Mack were booked by the Queens of Chaos promotion in France. They wrestled in front of 72,000 people which is the 2007 record for a wrestling show. A documentary will be released in 2008 from the event. |
