The honor means a great deal to Moore.
It was in 2016 that Jacqueline Moore took her place in WWE's Hall of Fame. Her accolades in the company include being a two-time WWF Women's Champion and a former Cruiserweight Champion.
Moore was the first Black woman to win the WWF Women's Title and the first woman to hold the Cruiserweight Title.
As she was doing a virtual signing for Captain's Corner, she reflected on being inducted into the Hall of Fame and being the first African-American woman inductee.
“I know who called me (about my WWE Hall of Fame induction). I can’t remember his name because he’s no longer with the company anymore. No (not John Laurinaitis). It wasn’t him. I can’t think of the guy’s name. But I did get the big call, that, ‘Hey, they wanna put you in the Hall of Fame.’ I’m like, ‘What!?’ I was so happy. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ But yeah, I got the big call, they gonna put me in the Hall of Fame. I was super excited, right? Being the first Black female in the Hall of Fame, that’s another history-making -- I’m full of history now. I’m full of history. I’m a walking history book. But, yeah, got the call and they said they wanna put me in the Hall of Fame. I was super excited. My family were happy for me. It was special to me. It made my heart happy. I was just so full of joy and to get that call and to be put in there, that made me very happy. Means a lot to me. I was so happy my family could come and see me on my big day. It was great. Had my family there and it was just a special moment for me.”
In 2024, Moore signed a Legends contract with WWE. She spoke about that and to read her comments, head over to this link.
