      Also he couldn't cut a promo to save his life and his ring work was C- at best. Not totally his fault because he was pretty inexperienced, but he wasn't ready for the main event. He had good charisma and intensity, and I thought TNA used him pretty well as an upper-midcard guy.

    I remember Jacqueline from her USWA days in Memphis. Her gimmick was Ms. Texas. She was the first woman I'd ever seen work a match like the men do. She was strong, athletic-- and she was black. She made me feel a sense of empowerment being successful in a predominantly white industry. Made me feel represented. Fortunately I joined the Navy, and didn't have to put up with all the ailments that wrestlers do. All the respect in the world for them.
