My favorite wrestling memory as an audience member. A couple years ago Jazz was at one of our local shows. She came out and started drawing heat from the crowd. My 10 year old yelled "you suck!" at her. Jazz snapped her head and gave my kid the death stare. He froze in panic and everybody in the crowd instinctively leaned away, went quiet, and pointed at him. That boy had the fear of God put in him and he still talks about it to this day. We'll always remember Jazz.
Out of every interview you’ve ever done, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to hear from someone more then I’ve wanted to hear from Jazz. She’s a class act. One of my favorites, regardless of gender, I just wish that WWE would acknowledge her.I know she doesn’t need it to feel fulfilled or anything like that, but her fans sure would appreciate it. She’s extremely underrated, especially given her influence and value at that time. In a perfect world her and Jacqueline would’ve been the inaugural women’s tag team champs. 💯
Please get Jacqueline in for an interview. What Jazz did for Trish was wonderful, but what Jacqueline did for Sable was magic, and she never got her due respect for it. Would love to hear her stories. Thanks for this, Chris...I was very pleasantly surprised to wake up and see a Jazz interview. 💯
Jazz is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers in the history of the sport.. I liked her work in ECW the best, but she was a force in WWF as well AND STILL has one of the best theme songs in the business in my opinion.... Her WWF theme song was great, and fit Jazz perfectly (again just my opinion)..... Terrific interview as usual Chris.
Sounds like AEW didn’t really have any plans for her beyond that Battle Royale which is a huge shame. I was so excited when they hyped her appearance up and I was really hoping she’d get signed. I think AEW has made managers interesting again and if she genuinely is done inside the ring, then I think she’d be a great manager for Big Swole. Especially if she was to make Swole more aggressive as her coach. Also... we NEED a Jazz figure.
Really enjoyed this interview. Havn't seen enough of Jazz's work, WWE or otherwise, but this made me feel like I'm missing out so I'll fix that soon enough.
I could see Jazz in a match with Sasha, Ember Moon, Naomi, Asuka, Shayna Baszler and the list goes on. I love this interview and hope she keeps doing well for herself.
i always wondered why one of the major feds never took her on as a coach/ trainer. She could whip both genders into shape for the next generation. Such an underrated talent.
Ugh Love her! fabulous interview as usual Chris! they don't make women like Jazz anymore. Thank you for everything you have done for us women's wrestling fans Jazz.
48 YEARS OLD? Damn, she looks fantastic! What a massively underrated talent, I always thought Jazz could do so much more in this business, but she was amazing and really showed that women's wrestling could be legitimate at a time when the business really didn't take it as seriously as they should have.
That was a good one. When i think back on it, I dont think Jazz ever had a bad match....She was a legitamate heel and did a good job at it. True Trailblazer
Jazz scared me as a kid and it's so funny cus I grew up to be attracted to strong no bs, no fronts, women like her lol. Maybe that's why she did. Jazz was always a great talent. Really cool hearing her talk like this and seeing the person behind it. Makes a lot of sense she so down to earth.
Outstanding video and interview, thanks for posting. Firstly, thank you Jazz for your time and years well spent in professional wrestling. She has definitely held her own in the ring and outside of the squared circle. I wish her family and husband Rodney Mack continued successes and blessings along the way.
@Zamza Wrong, that is the total truth, WWE screwed and wasted many talents that I could name that was utilised with greatness in other promotions and had those that was capable or had potential to do certain things. To make matters worse, Vince didn't give a damn about the women's division and look what happened to Gail Kim and what she later become in TNA.
Because nobody likes her. She has bad attitude backstage and once tried to call out stone cold for being a soposed racist and got cussed out by booker T and mark henry for being a complete liar trying to chase clout.
R.A.S Yeah, I wouldn’t trust the words of Booker T and Mark Henry as it relates to racism within WWE. Regardless of what anyone thinks of ACH or Lio Rush, just look at how Booker and Henry downplayed their experience with racism in the WWE.
@@icyhardaway7034 ACH went to MLW and tried that shit with jay lethal and got fired after two weeks. ACH is a problem wrestler . Lio rush didnt want to take the locker room hazing so thats his problem. In life in certain jobs the new guy allways get grubbed its a fact of life and lio rush wasnt man enough to take it so he whined on twitter about it and now both him and ACH have faded into irrelivance like race baiters they are.
Love jazz. I was blesses and fortune enough to travel with some of my indy bros and we made a trip to Rodney mack and jazz' school in Jonesboro Arkansas over 12 years ago. I got to meet them both personally and see the newly born twins they have. Class act both of them. Much love to them and the family.
This is SOOOO very good! Marched to the beat of her own drummer & set a standard not set by very many women in this business. 🥰 Hey Chris, she mentioned the legend Ivory... *wiggles eyebrows* How 'bout it??? 😉
Phenomenal interview! What people don’t understand is that Racism is still very much alive & shows up in so many different ways despite your profession. It doesn’t shock me to hear Jazz never had a Action Figure or Poster. Most Top Stars are usually always non-black. It takes people like Kofi Kingston & Naomi YEARS to win a title even though both of them are some of the most innovative, marketable and adaptable wrestlers in the company! You have to work 10x times as hard to even get a crumb of recognition if you’re a person of color especially Black.
Right!! Literally Bianca Belair and Lacey Evans started around the same time and were at the PC together... look at the difference in their pushes. They’re both great total packages yet one was pushed with effort from jump and one wasn’t, what’s the difference between them?
Agreed! Even when Naomi and Kofi won titles they made sure they lost them soon after, or they didn’t give them good storylines while champion. The Hurt Business (MVP/Lashley/Shelton/Cedric) is like the most ive seen then push black people, especially at one time. But of course they’ll never give them the BIG push.
You never seen Jazz before? Dude you shocked me. Jazz is a legendary wrestler from the ECW and attitude era. You should look up her matches from those eras. You'd be impressed. She even did some matches on the indies
Very cool interview! Congratulations Chris Van Vliet! Jazz is an inspirational lady, legendary wrestler, outstanding athlete! I wonder if she would be interesting to be a coach on AEW, and help the Women's division with her wisdom and experience. Wishing all the best and success in the world for her! 💪👏👍🤘
Jazz is one of my favorite wrestlers! Got a chance to meet her in real life and she is such a nice and wonderful person. You are in my prayers Jazz! God Bless You! Get well soon!
One thing I've learned over the many years of writing/interviewing in pro wrestling. Wrestlers really don't retire, unless they are physically unable to compete anymore. There are exceptions, of course, like in anything.
I always loved watching Jazz. I never watched ECW, but I loved her in WWE. I'm going to have to look back and see if I can find some old episodes of ECW to see how she was as a babyface.
Jazz should be respected as one of the greatest black female wrestlers ever. It’s a very short list of greatest but she’s up there. I feel she’s in the Jacqueline, Awesome Kong tier. Right above the Noami and Ember Moon tier.
Jazz is truly one of my favorites.She was a game changer for women’s wrestling along with many others. I purposely think that triple threat match at wrestle mania 18 between her, trish and lita was good for the time it was given. They were in rough spot following the rock and hogan, but I still think they made it work for what they did. The triple threat match at wrestle mania 19 between her, trish and Victoria was even better.
It’s true, Jazz, Victoria, Gail Kim, Molly Holly even Lita and Mickie James made Trish Stratus who she is today. Trish Stratus will be nothing without those women wrestlers.
Back when the WWE women's roster could really kick-ass and portray their characters so well, with the likes of GAIL KIM, IVORY, JACQUELINE, JAZZ, LITA, MOLLY HOLLY, TRISH STRATUS, and VICTORIA.
It’s the voice impressions for me especially Paul haymen 😂 😂. I ❤️ her and she wasn’t given enough credit by Wwe she deserves her flowers 💐 🏆 and hall of fame

Chris Van Vliet is GOD
I agree he’s been of use are legendary he is a God among interviews
Ukl
hell yeah im really happy
You need to get shane Douglas!
Jazz was one of the unsung great female wrestlers of that era along with Molly Holly. Their in-ring skills were ahead of their time.
Yes. Absolutely. Also Ivory. And I liked Victoria in the 2000s too. 👍🏾
I agree!!! I feel like they were overlooked
Facts also ms Jacqueline
Jazz, Molly Holly, Jacqueline, Ivory, Victoria, Trish, Lita, Chyna- legendary class.
Don't forget gail kim
She was a beast her and Jacqueline they always kicked ass!!! lol
Trish was terrible at first but she got better.
Magick Metaphysics she wasnt a wrestler at first, then she took it serious and because the goat
@@blackout8777 I'm aware. If you mean became the greatest of all time, you are only lying to yourself.

Lmfao great story man!! This is awesome I can picture it!! 🤙
this is amazing
Awesome 👍😎
😂😂😂
@Joe Owens Can you imagine? That kid was prob scarred for life. Jazz' s death stare was no joke! Lol
If someone made a Jazz figure, I'd buy two just so she could autograph one. Always underrated and underutilized wherever she went.
You can just tell how wonderful a person Jazz is within 3 minutes into this interview!
Absolutely. She's genuine.
Did someone just say 3 minutes?
This is why I love her.
❤👍🏾
She’s my coach she’s fucking amazing
Real womens wrestling right here.... Straight up legend.

@baby Maharaja She got in before Sable, funny enough
@baby Maharaja I think he means never got her respect while IN WWE
Yeah you don’t get to see a lot of interviews of those two
@@stephano1019 only because sable probably declined
Jazz is a Legend one of the Hardest workers
@OUTLAW AUTOBODY She's one of the main reasons Trish Stratus is the legend she is today. So yes Jazz is a legend.
Jazz is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers in the history of the sport..
I liked her work in ECW the best, but she was a force in WWF as well AND STILL has one of the best theme songs in the business in my opinion.... Her WWF theme song was great, and fit Jazz perfectly (again just my opinion)..... Terrific interview as usual Chris.
One of the greatest talents of all time, men or women. Legend.
Her match with Trish and Victoria at WM 19 is an underrated classic.
J Smith yes it is, my favorite women’s match up until the new era!!
the best women's triple threat match in WM history :D
Yes!! That is one of my favorites matches with Jazz
Always loved jazz an underrated wrestler being a women and black but still amazing
@West Texas Rain For sure. The 2 of them deserved much more. Jazz particularly.
Brilliant. Now going to watch the debut in AEW and then the legendary match at X-18.
Underrated for her influence, I think.
Big fan of Jazz's work in ECW and the WWE. This was a great interview, she's so chill man I feel like I'd have a laugh and a good time talking to her.
Jazz... one of the best wrestlers. Period!
Jazz, Molly, Jacqueline, Victoria, Gail Kim all highly underrated in those great 1ate 90s eras of woman wrestling
Gail Kim didn't debut until like 2004 lol
@@MrZombieTurds ‘03
Sounds like AEW didn’t really have any plans for her beyond that Battle Royale which is a huge shame. I was so excited when they hyped her appearance up and I was really hoping she’d get signed.
I think AEW has made managers interesting again and if she genuinely is done inside the ring, then I think she’d be a great manager for Big Swole. Especially if she was to make Swole more aggressive as her coach.
Also... we NEED a Jazz figure.
aew is trash
That's an awesome idea. I like swole but she could use the guidance
Really enjoyed this interview. Havn't seen enough of Jazz's work, WWE or otherwise, but this made me feel like I'm missing out so I'll fix that soon enough.
Now is the best time. Cause a lot of her matches are on YT ..her rare stuff from the UK. Enjoy she was tough
I could see Jazz in a match with Sasha, Ember Moon, Naomi, Asuka, Shayna Baszler and the list goes on. I love this interview and hope she keeps doing well for herself.
Jazz vs Asuka would have been awesome! 😁
She paved the way
Jazz is one of the best in ring women talents to ever lace up boots. Fight me.
Without question!
Legitimate Badass and Trailblazing Pioneer. #CocoaButter 👸🏾
It was nice to see Jazz.
I agree!
i always wondered why one of the major feds never took her on as a coach/ trainer. She could whip both genders into shape for the next generation. Such an underrated talent.
Ugh Love her! fabulous interview as usual Chris! they don't make women like Jazz anymore. Thank you for everything you have done for us women's wrestling fans Jazz.
The closest thing to Jazz right now is Bianca Belair but Vince is too stupid to use her properly
Always loved and respected Jazz, hopefully she'll get more recognition soon, another great one Chris!
Jazz is such a legend
Best female heel ever
Legend? I have no idea who this is...
OUTLAW AUTOBODY - I guess you weren’t alive during the Ruthless Aggression Era 😂

Everyone send jazz some love! You are a legend! Stay blessed love!
Jazz is dope. It's a shame she never got an action figure
I never noticed that.
She actually did had action figures but they never put it out
Much respect to Jazz..
She deserves to be in the hall of fame. Imo one of the best and underrated woman's wrestlers of all time.
"I'm not gonna Terry Funk it!
Ok, maybe in a few months."
I liked that one !
One of the most underrated women in wrestling history.
I did see her in championship wrestling from Hollywood , very impressive
Jazz scared me as a kid and it's so funny cus I grew up to be attracted to strong no bs, no fronts, women like her lol. Maybe that's why she did.
Jazz was always a great talent. Really cool hearing her talk like this and seeing the person behind it. Makes a lot of sense she so down to earth.
She is such a legend! Awesome interview Chris!
I have always loved her and her theme songs in WWE
Great to see Jazz, thanks Chris!
Anyway you can get Victoria would love to see her
Jazz is hall of fame material! I would like to see Jazz in wwe wrestle one more time
Outstanding video and interview, thanks for posting. Firstly, thank you Jazz for your time and years well spent in professional wrestling. She has definitely held her own in the ring and outside of the squared circle. I wish her family and husband Rodney Mack continued successes and blessings along the way.
Lets start a GoFundMe for Jazz. A true trail blazer. Hopefully she is able to retire in peace.
They totally ruined her debut at Survivor Series 2001, then she was kinda the new Chyna, and then they screwed it up ...
@Zamza I blame JR. He went like "Jazz, who?" when she debuted. And it's easy to dominate when there is no competition.
@Zamza i know right? These people always blame WWE!
They messed up having her lose to rookie Trish when they should have had a hardcore feud with Lita.
@Zamza As soon as people stop acting like WWE can do NO wrong, we will. Trust me. Been waiting for that day forever.
@Zamza Wrong, that is the total truth, WWE screwed and wasted many talents that I could name that was utilised with greatness in other promotions and had those that was capable or had potential to do certain things. To make matters worse, Vince didn't give a damn about the women's division and look what happened to Gail Kim and what she later become in TNA.
Why is Jazz not a coach or a backstage agent in a major promotion somewhere?
Because nobody likes her. She has bad attitude backstage and once tried to call out stone cold for being a soposed racist and got cussed out by booker T and mark henry for being a complete liar trying to chase clout.
@@r.a.s6410 Great answer.

The Female Fighting Phenom! So good to see her
Jazz and Jacqueline kicked the doors in so others could waltz through.
Man Jazz was such ahead of her time. She was one tough lady. She was so versed in wrestling and facial expressions. True Legend.
Love jazz. I was blesses and fortune enough to travel with some of my indy bros and we made a trip to Rodney mack and jazz' school in Jonesboro Arkansas over 12 years ago. I got to meet them both personally and see the newly born twins they have. Class act both of them. Much love to them and the family.
I love jazz growing up . Her feud with Trish 🙌 One of my favorite match was jazz vs molly holly in heat
This is SOOOO very good! Marched to the beat of her own drummer & set a standard not set by very many women in this business. 🥰
Hey Chris, she mentioned the legend Ivory... *wiggles eyebrows* How 'bout it??? 😉
One of the ALL TIME GREATS!
I have always have loved Jazz. I have fallowed her from baby face to her great heel

This is most specifically WWE
Man I can hear Jazz talk all day she has me cracking up, HHH please put her in the hall of fame. She’s a true Legend
She was absolutely in the wrong time period. If she was wrestling today the same way she was back then, oh she would've fit right in.
Loved this interview
She was one of my favorites growing up. A true legend. ❤👏🏾👏🏾
Mad respect. 🙏
She seems cool AF !!!! Love it
love her so much.
iv never seen her before, but what an amazing person and personality.

This was awesome!!! You gotta get Jaqueline next.
I always loved watching Jazz. I never watched ECW, but I loved her in WWE. I'm going to have to look back and see if I can find some old episodes of ECW to see how she was as a babyface.
Jazz will always be Queen of the ring!! She was a true powerhouse in the Wwe!! She's such a gift and talent!! Love you Jazz!!👑
Jazz was a power house.
In fact she felt more in line with beth phoenix
Her Paul heyman impression is good
Damn, Jazz has such a great personality and is actually funny and a legit bad ass. No doubt today, she could probably pull off a decent baby face.
Get Jacqueline next
I enjoyed it , ty Chris
And thank you!

It’s true, Jazz, Victoria, Gail Kim, Molly Holly even Lita and Mickie James made Trish Stratus who she is today. Trish Stratus will be nothing without those women wrestlers.
what an absolute ridiculous statement
@@tywilliam3225 Mickie James? No, if anything, Trish was the one who putting her up since Trish was getting ready to leave WWE at the time.
Let's get this woman a damn Legends figure already!
I met Jazz several years ago and she was very sweet and awesome.
This legend was the catalyst for me hitting puberty hard as hell. She will forever be my favorite of the divas era women wrestlers
Please get Victoria, Jacqueline and Molly next
Jazz was a badass great interview chris what a legend!!!!! Man
Back when the WWE women's roster could really kick-ass and portray their characters so well, with the likes of GAIL KIM, IVORY, JACQUELINE, JAZZ, LITA, MOLLY HOLLY, TRISH STRATUS, and VICTORIA.
I liked Stacy and Torrie a lot to.
Great job Chris awesome video jazz is incredible 👌❤️ beautiful woman and one of the most underrated women wrestlers in the business.
happy retirement to ms jazz and gud luck to her future endeavors god bless her :)
Hope we get an interview with jacqueline. Good job chris. I wish sherri was alive for you to interview her, she was my fave female in the business.
