Jacquelyn started by throwing Sable into the corner of the ring, but Sable easily slipped from her grasp turning the tables on Jackie. Sable began karate kicking Jackie several times to the stomach and then a devastating kick to the side of her head.  Sable then let Mark distract her which allowed Jacquelyn the chance to knock her senseless from behind.  Jackie then grabbed Sable and pushed her into the opposing corner where she gave Sable the same treatment with a couple of kicks and then rammed Sable in the mid section with her body several times.   As Sable began crawling across the ring, Jacquelyn began taunting her to get up, and each time Sable tried Jackie would punt kick her right in the ribs.  As Sable tried once more to get up Jacquelyn put her in a DDT and it looked like the match was already over.  Fortunately for Sable she was able to kick out on the count of two and the match continued.

After complaining to the ref about his slow count, Jackie snatched Sable up from the mat and placed her over the middle rope, using to choke Sable with.  As the ref was admonishing Jackie for her tactics Mark Mero was able to choke Sable for several more seconds as Jackie made sure that she kept the ref busy by arguing with him so that his back was turned away from Sable.  The moment Mark was through Jackie sat on top of Sable who was still draped over the rope.  Mark then directed Jackie to take a running start from the opposite side of the ring which would allow her to crush Sable totally while still hanging over the rope, but their plan backfired.  Just as Jacquelyn made her jump Sable moved and Jacquelyn got a rope between her thighs instead of her opponent.

Jackie who was in obvious pain was then picked up and thrown to the mat by Sable who began choking her unmercifully.  Sable then picked her up, threw her over her back, and delivered a 'clothes line' to Jackie each time she got up.  Finally Sable grabbed Jackie by the hair and threw her out of the ring.  Mark Mero was furious with Sable and while telling her so while standing on the ring apron, he to became a floor ornament as Sable decked him for all she was worth.  As Mark aided Jackie by helping her back into the ring Sable grabbed Jackie and tried to suplex her over the top rope and back into the ring.  Sadly this was Sable's downfall.  Mark wisely picked that moment to grab Sable's leg, holding on for dear life, which allowed Jackie to fall on top of Sable for a possible three count.   As the ref who got down on the mat to make the count he was unable to see that Mark was still holding Sable's leg.  The rest is history as Jacquelyn got the pin and is now the WWF Women's Champion.  For the pics from this match - Click Here

10/11/98 Sunday Night Heat
Jacquelyn who was wearing Sable's cut off pony tail tied in with her own, easily defended her title against Starla Saxton.  Although Starla put a couple of real good moves on Jackie, she was no match against Jacquelyn's experience in the ring, falling prey to a well timed 'DDT'.  After the bell had rung Jacquelyn kept kicking Starla all over the ring, but this left an opening for Sable to jump into the ring and get Jackie from behind for a change.

Sable immediately grabbed Jackie by the hair and threw her halfway across the ring.  As soon as she got up Sable put a 'clothesline' on her knocking her down once again.  Not having had enough apparently, Jackie picked herself up once again, and as she started towards Sable she got a boot right in the mouth by a well placed karate kick, that knocked her down and out of the ring.  This finally seemed to make Jackie think about taking any further action, so she and Mark quickly left the arena.  For the pics from this match - Click Here

WebMaster's Note:  At that time the virtually unknown Starla Saxton was actually Mona/Molly Holly early in her career.  It was her only "big time" wrestling appearance until  late 1999 when she entered the WCW as Miss Madness, later changing her name to Mona.

11/15/98 Sunday Night Heat
It seems that Jacquelyn underestimated her opponent this time and that congratulations are in order for the underdog - Sable.

We started off with an interview in the ring during Sunday Night Heat where Sable guaranteed us that she would become the new Women's WWF Champion.  During the interview Mark Mero came out to the ring to plead with Sable, "Nobody knows you as good as I do.  I'm out here out of the goodness of my heart, to give you a chance.  You see tonight, Jacquelyn is gonna hurt you Sable, your no wrestler, you never will be a wrestler, and if you were smart you would just say no!"  At that moment Jackie who had apparently come to ringside through the audience unseen, attacked Sable from behind, using the Championship belt to clobber Sable - is this the only way the great Women's WWF Champ knows how to take care of business?  Jackie then taunted Sable who was down on the mat, telling what she was going to do to her during the upcoming match.  Raising Jackie's hand in victory, both Mark and Jackie left the ring.  A few minutes later we went to a backstage interview with Sable who was extremely upset by Jackie's ambush tactics.  Asked whether Jackie had now thrown her off her game plan Sable replied "She didn't throw me off my game plan, the only thing that Jacquelyn did was piss me off!   Now I'm more determined than ever."  For the pics from Sunday Night Heat - Click Here.

Now onto the match itself.  Jackie and Mark came out to ringside looking all cocky and assured that they were going to get the win.  Sable on the other hand appeared to be 'all business'.  Before Jackie could even get in the ring Sable was over in the corner telling Jackie to get her butt in there. 

Mark took this opportunity to go to the other side of the ring and distract Sable, thereby once again allowing Jackie to attack her opponent from behind, knocking her down to the mat.  Jackie started yelling "You want me, you want me, come on!" and began kicking Sable who was still unable to get up from the blow that Jackie had struck from behind.  Sable quickly recovered and after a minute or so was able to put the 'TKO' on Jackie and try for a pin.  Once the ref began the count, Mark grabbed Sable by the leg and pulled her out of the ring.  Mark would regret this action, since as soon as Sable confronted him she promptly kicked him in the groin, then gave Mark a 'Sable Bomb' right to the arena floor.  Sable who was focusing her attention on Mark rather than her opponent (Why doesn't she just ignore Mark?), gave Jackie the chance to attack from behind for the third time during the evening.  After dealing Sable another deadly blow to the back, Jackie quickly threw her back into the ring.

Jackie went back to her favorite tactic in the ring.  While Sable tried to get back up Jackie would kick her in the mid-section and yell at her "You want me, you want me" and then kick her some more.  Jackie then drug Sable over to the middle rope and began choking Sable with it.  Jackie broke the hold once during the ref's count, then went right back to choking Sable some more.  While Sable was trying to get her breath back, Jackie snatched her by the head and slammed her right into the turnbuckle.  Spinning Sable around Jackie punished Sable even more, treating her like a rag doll, by kicking her in the mid-section again 4 or 5 times.  Pulling Sable from the corner and to the middle of the ring, Jackie began to set her up for a 'Power Bomb' of her own, only to have Sable flip her over her back.  Sable headed to the opposing corner, only to have Jackie grab her and set her up in the corner for a 'Tornado DDT'.

This was Jacquelyn's last chance at retaining the belt, as the underdog Sable took over from here.  Sable countered the move and threw Jackie down on the mat face/chest first and then picked her up for the 'Sable Bomb', which she successfully put on Jackie to win the match and the belt.  For pics from the match - Click Here.

12/28/98 Monday Night Raw
It was quite a surprise to both Sable and the Oddities as a crazy woman known as The Spider Lady ambushed Sable from behind before their match on Monday Night Raw.  Sable was immediately overpowered by the madwoman, who beat her unmercifully.  Choking Sable using the rope, kicking her while she was down, and beating her with a belt was the planned agenda of the masked opponent.  Fortunately for Sable the Oddities rushed out to help her, only to find out that Luna was underneath the mask.  Pulling her off Sable and sending her out of the ring, Luna was telling everyone "It's about me, It's about what I deserve."  Sable won by a DQ.  For pics from the match - Click Here.
