Former WWE and TNA diva Jackie Gayda, wife of Charlie Haas, says she was laughing and crying watching Charlie pull off the Beth Phoenix imitation on Raw this past Monday. "He is much more of a woman than I will ever be," Jackie told the Monday Night Mayhem radio show.

Charlie practiced Beth's role, specifically her backflip into the ring, for three hours on Monday night prior to Raw, trying to perfect the move. Jackie says she is proud of Charlie stepping up to his role to maintain a TV slot.

She says they were collectively nervous a few months ago when Charlie seemed to be lost in the shuffle, and they were concerned about whether he had a future in WWE.

Jackie also commented on the Diva Halloween costume contest at the Cyber Sunday PPV. She says she was texting Victoria about her banana costume and claimed she would have been a better banana than Victoria.

In regards to her future in wrestling, she says she has moved in a different direction in life, but still misses the wrestling business and watches regularly with her first-born daughter.

Caldwell's Analysis: I guess we'll never find out the answer to the missing Jackie Gayda blackmail tape from TNA a few years ago. It's been a running gag in the Caldwell & Roe audio updates for a few years now about TNA storylines that seemingly disappear without any resolution. By the way, Torch VIP members will get a new C&R audio update this weekend, as Mike Roe and I are recording on Sunday night with thoughts on Impact, Smackdown, and probably some political discussion prior to Tuesday's U.S. presidential election.

FYI: Jackie Gayda's current project is a personal health and nutrition company called Custom Muscle that tries to help customers improve their fitness. Entering the word GRAND upon checkout will give a 10 percent discount on any order.
