** One 2000 backstage segment had Ivory asking Debra to give her a title shot against Lita. Jackie pops in and says "If you're gonna give Ivory a shot, why don't you give [[JustForPun ebony]] one too?"

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: On the March 10, 1997 ''Nitro'', Sullivan faced African-American jobber Hardbody Harrison. As per Sullivan's usual at the time, he threw Harrison out to the floor so Jackie could kick his ass, with the commentators putting her over huge. In 2007, Harrison would be sentenced to life in prison for sex-trafficking, thus making the sight of a woman beating him up particularly satisfying.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Considering her insulting exit from the company and poor treatment in the latter half of 2003, WWE made her the first female inductee into the Hall of Fame after Trish Stratus and Lita - complete with video packages putting her over for her in-ring talents. She also became the first African-American woman to enter the Hall of Fame.

** The fact that she got so many intergender matches while in WWE. Rather than being babied like Chyna sometimes was, Jackie would take plenty of abuse from the men and give out just as much in return.
** Her feud with Gail Kim deserves special mention. Gail claimed that numerous people backstage would ask them if they legit hated each other, their stuff was that intense.

* TaintedByThePreview: When LLF opened in 2000, its promoter had reservations against bringing in women from the
USA (or Canada) because all he saw were the "divas" in the WWF having five minute matches. A new enterprise in Monterrey couldn't afford to present anything other than gruelling multiple fall matches. Rival promoters choking him out of talent made him more open to signing names North of the border, and Jacqueline did just fine.

Added DiffLines:

** Her return to TNA, targeting Velvet Sky with ODB, had both of them officially being granted contracts...and they did nothing of note. ODB got something of a storyline with Eric Young, but Jacqueline vanished from television apart from the occasional one-off appearance.
** Although she got the occasional title match in the 2002-2003 period, she was never pushed in a meaningful capacity. WWE favoured Trish Stratus and Lita as the top face, and Jazz and Molly Holly as the top heels - so Jackie mostly appeared in tag team matches or as the other one in triple threats or Fatal 4 Ways.

** From the February 3, 1997 ''Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro'': You know the Wrestling/JimRoss quote on the [[LampshadeHanging/ProfessionalWrestling [=LampshadeHanging/ProfessionalWrestling=]]] page about keeping weapons under the ring? Well, whoever was supposed to do that didn't do his or her job on this night. During the Wrestling/{{Konnan}} vs. Wrestling/ChrisBenoit match[[note]]This was during Benoit's feud with the Wrestling/DungeonOfDoom. Konnan officially turned NWO in July.[[/note]], Jacqueline came to the ring with a leather belt. Benoit saw her and threw Konnan out of the ring, getting disqualified.[[note]]At the time, WCW still used the old NWA rule about throwing your opponent over the top rope being a DQ.[[/note]] Benoit took the belt from her and Jackie looked under the ring for a weapon and all she could come up with was a plastic water bottle.

For a while she was mainly known as "that black Diva with the massive breasts" and her many wardrobe malfunctions.malfunctions. Showing that it's possible for female wrestlers to transcend this, she had a respectable run in TNA and eventually got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame - so her ring achievements are far more remembered than her {{Fanservice}}.
** She does feel the effects of this for one specific event. The 1998 Fully Loaded PPV is remembered entirely for the bikini contest she had against {{Wrestling/Sable}} - where the latter showed off hand-print pasties on her breasts.
** And the 1998 Capital Carnage PPV is mostly forgotten, except for Jacqueline getting her top ripped off, becoming the first Diva to bare her breasts on WWE TV. Though as it was a UK-exclusive show, it's not as well-known as other examples.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight:
** She wrestled a couple of matches against then-rookie Wrestling/GailKim in 2003. There Jackie was the face and Gail the heel. Fast forward to 2007 in TNA, and the two of them have a feud that puts women's wrestling on the map in that company.

** {{Smart Mark}}s felt that Jacqueline could have had a longer reign as Cruiserweight Champion, since she certainly had the wrestling skills to believably hold her own in the ring with most of the roster.
** Jacqueline and {{Wrestling/Chyna}} never got to feud or even have a match. During Chyna's time in the women's division, critics noted that Jacqueline was one of the few Divas who could be believably pushed against her. Chyna left WWE before anything could happen though.
