In the early 2000s, Moore worked as both a referee and trainer for the WWF, and she also held the [[WWE Cruiserweight Championship]], which was a title predominantly held by men. In 2004, she joined TNA, where she worked mostly as a manager and occasional wrestler. ===Early years (1989-1991)=== Moore began her wrestling training at a local [[gym]] after meeting professional wrestling [[manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] [[Skandor Akbar]]. She was the only female in her [[List of professional wrestling terms#S|professional wrestling school]] in Dallas. She later made her in-ring debut as "Sweet Georgia Brown."

In late 1993, she appeared in a Jeff Jarrett promo for the WWF where Jarrett would be criticizing a young man's singing voice. ===World Championship Wrestling (1997-1998)=== Moore began submitting pictures of herself to the [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]-based [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW) and was eventually contacted by WCW employee [[James J. Dillon|J.J. Dillon]], who offered her a contract. She debuted in WCW as the manager of [[Kevin Sullivan (wrestler)|Kevin Sullivan]], and she helped Sullivan by [[Professional wrestling throws#Body slam|body slamming]] his opponents.

A bikini contest took place between the two women on July 26, 1998 at [[WWF Fully Loaded#1998|Fully Loaded]], with Sable winning after she removed her [[Halterneck|halter top]] to reveal a painted on [[bikini]] top.

Moore and Mero then teamed together to face Sable and a mystery opponent on August 30 at [[SummerSlam (1998)|SummerSlam]]. At the event, Sable's partner was revealed to be [[Adam Copeland|Edge]], and the duo defeated Mero and Moore. With the revived [[WWE Women's Championship|WWF Women's Championship]] on the line (the Women's Championship had been abandoned in December 1995), Moore defeated Sable. Later that month at [[Survivor Series (1998)|Survivor Series]], Sable defeated Moore to become the new WWF Women's Champion. Moore and Mero separated on the November 22 episode of ''[[WWE Heat|Sunday Night Heat]]'', and the jilted Moore formed a new alliance of women known as the Pretty Mean Sisters (PMS) with [[Terri Runnels]], who was separated from her husband, [[Dustin Rhodes|Goldust]]. They originally formed an alliance with [[D'Lo Brown]] and [[Mark Henry]], accompanying them to the ring for a match against [[Val Venis]] and [[Charles Wright (wrestler)|The Godfather]] in December at [[Rock Bottom: In Your House]]. In May, however, the women had switched their allegiance to a wrestler named [[Shawn Stasiak|Meat]]. As a part of the storyline, the women—with the addition of [[Ryan Shamrock]]—used Meat for his body, forcing him to have sex with them. Moore, however, had left the alliance by July. ====Pursuit of the Women's Championship and ''Tough Enough'' (1999–2001)==== Moore won the WWF Women's Championship for a second time on February 1, 2000 by defeating [[Bruno Lauer|Harvey Wippleman]] (who had won the belt from Miss Kitty while in [[drag (clothing)|drag]] and calling himself "Hervina") in a short match.

Her highest profile match as a referee was an [[WWE Championship|Undisputed WWF Championship]] match between Chris Jericho and Maven on the January 28th episode of ''Raw''. Moore also wrestled infrequently throughout 2002, receiving several title shots, none of which were successful. In late 2002, she and Stratus began a feud with [[Lisa Marie Varon|Victoria]], leading to a Triple Threat match at [[Armageddon (2002)|Armageddon]], in which Victoria retained the title. In 2003, the return of Jazz culminated in a Four-Way match for Jazz's title at [[Judgment Day (2003)|Judgment Day]] on May 18, 2003, which Jazz won.

In March 2006, she also competed in Mexico. ===Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2004, 2006, 2007–2009, 2011)=== {{See also|Beer Money, Inc.}} [[Image:Beer Money Chicago IL 101208.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Moore with [[Beer Money, Inc.]] ([[James Storm]] and [[Robert Roode]])]] Moore debuted in [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] on the November 7, 2004 [[Victory Road (2004)|Victory Road]] [[pay-per-view]], losing to [[Stephanie Finochio|Trinity]].

Later, during a [[Professional wrestling match types#Hardcore-based variations|Street Fight]] with Kim on ''[[TNA Impact!|Impact!]]'', Moore's two front teeth were knocked out of her mouth. Throughout early and mid-2008, she continued to participate in women's matches, but failed to obtain the [[TNA Women's Knockout Championship|TNA Women's Championship]]. She then managed Beer Money, Inc. (Storm and [[Robert Roode]]), before being removed from television to work as a backstage agent. On June 19, 2009 she returned to in-ring action, defeating [[Trenesha Biggers|Rhaka Khan]] at a house show in [[Grand Rapids, Michigan]]. On July 12, 2009, however TNA parted ways with Moore.

Both of them were billed as not being under contract with TNA. The following week Jackie and ODB defeated [[Velvet Sky]] and [[Brooke Adams (model)|Ms. Tessmacher]] in a tag team match. On June 28 at the tapings of the July 7 edition of ''Impact Wrestling'', Sky defeated both Jackie and ODB in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Handicap match|two-on-one handicap match]], forcing both of them out of TNA as per stipulation of the match. However, Jacqueline, along with ODB, returned to ''Impact Wrestling'' on July 21, once again attacking Velvet Sky prior to her match with [[Mickie James]] for the TNA Women's Knockout Championship. They would eventually be attacked by the returning [[Tracy Brookshaw|Traci Brooks]], before being escorted out of the arena by police officers. On the August 18 edition of ''Impact Wrestling'', Jacqueline and ODB changed their attitudes, abandoning their heelish antics, in order to first get contracts with the promotion. After several weeks of working as babyfaces, Jacqueline and ODB were signed to contracts by the new head of the Knockouts division, [[Karen Jarrett]], on the September 1 edition of ''Impact Wrestling''.
