WebMaster's Note: Take a close look at the pics.  It would seem that Mr. McMahon and Jackie Gayda are doing a good job flirting with one another.

06/08/02 Saturday Velocity
We went backstage while Jackie and Linda discussed the upcoming match between Linda and their Tough Enough trainer Ivory.  Jackie explained to Linda that she wanted to be at ringside so she could watch her beat Ivory in her debut match. Linda told Jackie it would be an honor to have her at ringside as they shook hands and headed for the ring.

The ladies both greeted and hugged Al Snow, who was the color commentator for the match. Linda entered the ring and Ivory wasted no time by immediately slapping Linda in the mouth. Linda quickly took Ivory down and applied a leg scissors to her ex-trainer.

Once Ivory escaped she used a drop toe-hold on Linda, causing her to crash onto the bottom rope. Ivory then went to work on the former student, pummeling her with several kicks to the back. This didn't last long as Linda's large size worked against Ivory. After throwing Ivory around the ring Linda climbed to the top rope as Ivory attacked.   Ivory ended up on the mat as Linda countered with punches and a final push.

Linda got set to leap on her opponent from the top rope, but was pushed by her "friend" Jackie, hitting the canvas with a dull thud. It was all over as Ivory picked Linda up and dropped her face first into the mat for the pinfall. [owow.com] For Pics - Click Here.

Marc Loyd interviewed Tough Enough 2 winner Linda. After some footage from last week's Velocity - which saw Jackie help Ivory defeat Linda - Linda said that she'd found a tag partner for tonight's tag match against Ivory and Jackie, WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus!

In divas tag action, WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus and Linda took on Ivory and Jackie. As the match began, it was announced that Molly Holly would receive a title shot against Trish at King of the Ring. Linda went to attack Jackie as the match began, but Ivory and Trish pulled them apart. Trish soon picked up the win for her team, pinning Ivory after the Stratus-faction bulldog. [wwe.com]

Linda Miles and Trish Stratus took on Jackie Gayda and the new WWE Women's Champion, Molly Holly, next. Before the match, Molly said it was an honor to bring respect back to the Women's Championship by earning it instead of sleeping her way to the top. Trish said Molly didn't earn the title, she cheated. She didn't sleep her way to it, she worked hard for it. Trish said she would kick Molly's fat ass! The brawl began with Linda catching Jackie in an arm lock while Trish struck the appendage from the top rope. Jackie fought back and tagged in Molly, who picked Linda apart. Before long, Trish came in and took over, dragging Jackie down with the head scissors. Linda nailed Jackie with a dropkick, then Trish hit the Stratusfaction on Molly for the win! [wwe.com]

06/29/02 Undressed Divas Special
You knew this was going to be a fun show - Undressed Diva's and Jerry "The King" Lawler as an announcer! Coach was the MC with Maven, Paul Heyman, Al Snow, Jazz and Edge as the judges.

The action got underway with Trish, Torrie, Nidia, Linda, Stacy, Jackie, Dawn Marie and Terri competing for the 1st Annual Golden Thong Award. The women all looked scrumptious and looked like they were all having a good time during the show, except for Trish. During her first entrance on the walkway she was attacked by a crutch wielding Jazz as soon as she turned her back. This effectively put Trish out for the rest of the show.

During one break we all got a glimpse of Mae Young in her lingerie, which Jerry was so impressed by - Not! - that Mae gave him several kisses. One other hilarious highlight was Rico coming out in costume during the "Free For All' competition. Needless to say the judges scrambled for cover once he started stripping down.

The winner of the show was Torrie who was so excited that she stuck her sucker on Dawn Marie's breasts! An incensed Stacy told Coach that the only reason that Torrie won was because her boyfriend Maven was one of the judges. This prompted Torrie to reply that at least she didn't sleep with the boss who was 60 years older than her. That was all it took for Stacy to slap Torrie and a catfight broke out onstage between all the contestants. [owow.com]  For Pics - Click Here.

07/26/02 Internet News
The following is from a recap of Pro Wrestling Weekly Radio, which Pete from Tough Enough 2 comments on Jackie Gayda and her ego:
"Shannon Rose discusses the situation with Pete and Jackie. Pete says that they have a love/hate relationship and he has nothing against her. He feels she has an ego now that she is a "WWE superstar." They discuss how Jackie is getting some heat with the WWE now, especially with an appalling match against Trish Stratus on a recent edition of RAW. Everyone puts over Linda's work ethic in the ring but says she is starting to look manly looking.' Funny stuff." [Chris Brown]

Jackie Gayda and Linda Miles will be based in Louisville for practices and TV but will also be booked on the road for WWE at times. Both these young ladies have significant potential, but each needs a lot of ring time and practice sessions. They will get an abundance of both in the immediate future. All the talents being called up have potential and we all hope they tap into such. [The Ross Report]

We have three outstanding female prospects currently in OVW: Linda Miles, Jackie Gayda and Nikita Fink. All have demonstrated great potential, but as is the case with most young talents, are being challenged with the mental nuances of the business. Focus and familiarity with the product and the business in general will help these three continue to improve and hopefully make it to the primary roster sometime next year. There is certainly no lack of hard work and that is where it all starts in my view. [The Ross Report]
