It’s been 10 years since Trish Stratus was named Diva of the Decade as part of Raw’s 10th Anniversary celebration. With Raw’s 20th Anniversary just behind us, we think it’s time to look back at the last decade and crown a Diva of the Decade for the 2003-2013 period. Will Trish hang on to the crown, or will another Diva emerge? It’s all up to you!
Based on your nominations, we picked the 16 most popular Raw Divas to advance to our knock-out bracket tournament. Keep your eyes peeled over the next several weeks as you will be asked to choose between the greatest Raw Divas of this past decade and help us narrow it down from just 16 to one! (View the brackets below.)
Round 1: For round one’s sixth match-up, one of the hardest-hitting Divas in history, Jacqueline, faces the once “unbalanced” Victoria.
Watch both Divas in action:

Oh,Gosh…I love them both! But I think at the end of the day Victoria probably impressed me more during that time frame.What I liked so much about Victoria is that whatever the evil minds of the creative were giving her she just went with it.During 2003 she was very impressing imo,loved her psycho gimick.Also that Steel cage match with Lita.She was fantastic when she turned heel again in 2005,she was entertaining as one of the Vince’s Devils…she was…well,interesting as a comedy relief during 2008-2009.Also her last match was heart-breaking…I can’t,I’m voting for Victoria.

Ohhhh…. love both of them too!!! Great divas and amazing wrestlers!!! But i think Jacqueline is superior! She made all the divas division credible! a big part of the attitud era! Love that girl!

Love them both but for the timeframe given, Victoria did a lot more and was also longer in the WWE.

Victoria. Jacqueline is great but her time to shine had long past during this time frame. With the exception of her feud with Chavo on Smackdown, Jacqueline really only served to fill out space in tag matches as far as I can remember.

Love them both but like people have mentioned before Victoria did more in this time frame.

Most of Jackie’s accomplishments were pre 2003 though, otherwise i would have voted for her too
at
Victoria all the way !!!!! Victoria made a real impact when she was on Raw:
- 2 times champ
- hardcore matches (cage match, Chicago street fight…)
- one of the most powerful gimmick in Divas’ history
Jacqueline was good too but not as good as Victoria !!

How can you say that Jacqueline not on Victoria’s level? Jacqueline is definitely on the same level as Victoria, if not on a higher level.
- 2 time women’s champion
- Former Cruiserweight champion (a man’s title)
- 8 time USWA women’s champion
do your research before you discredit other………….anyway my vote went to Victoria only because of the time frame

Jacqueline also had hardcore matches on Raw, street fights…lol the nerve of some people.

Definitely Victoria here. Nothing against Jacqueline, but she was pretty much on her way out of the company by the time the time-frame for this started (2003), and most of Victoria’s WWE career fell into this time period, and she had some really great matches on RAW during this time.
at
Has to be Victoria. 2 Women’s title runs, several hardcore and tables matches, wrestled against the likes of Jazz, Jackie, Molly, Ivory, Trish, Beth Phoenix etc. Plus between 2003 – 2005 she played 3 different characters (psycho, dancing and Vinces Devils aka whore gimmick lol)

im cfused , i dont know really!!!!!
at
well obviously victoria/tara
at
Man tough one haha I love Jackie but career wise, Tara for sure! Jackie was one sexy ass kicking babe!!! But so is Tara!
Tara one of the most dominant women’s champions ever! Her 2003 run was pure dominance and intensity! Forget how many times she won the belt consider how well she handled , or woman handled those runs!! :)
Her TNA run is awesome she is really a dominant female and puts on great matches
Her best one my favorite were the two steel cage matches
Tara vs Lita
Tara vs Kong!!!

Since it is RAW DIVA OF THE DECADE between 2003 and 2013, I don’t think Victoria’s career in TNA is considered in this poll. They were great and memorable though.=)

Oh shit! Right!
Thought it meant overal
Meh but even so Jackie was hardcore champ in 2004 for a few weeks
But Victoria was super dominant as the champ in 2003 and later a fun champ in 2004
But then a jobber and finally getting a legit match against Michelle McCool and an actual goodbye to the fans :)

Jackie was never the Hardcore Champion. I think she would have made a good one, but I don’t think she ever was lol.

I have a lot of love for both women but within the time frame this is all based on, Victoria accomplished more and was utilised in a wider capacity.

Victoria.

Ohhhhh why o why is this so hard to pick??? I’m just gonna go with victoria for this one, its not as if the winners going to get an award or title, + I fckin loved victoria from Ovw days, what do u know it wasn’t that hard after all :-)

Victoriaaaaaa!

Hands down, Victoria wins this one with flying colors. Jackie did capture the Cruiserweight Championship on her way out, but that alone is not nearly enough to surpass Victoria’s colorful career in WWE – from 2003 to 2011(?).
Victoria went into this decade strong being involved in the Chicago Street Fight and a notable feud with Trish and Jazz that led to a fantastic match at Wrestlemania 19. She continued her on and off again rivalry with Trish throughout the year and defeated a returning Lita (significantly halting the red-head’s momentum) in the first ever cage match for the Divas on RAW. She also turned tweener at the end of the year and in 04 captured the Women’s Championship beating out the 3 top contenders in one match. Also, her Wrestlemania 20 match with Molly was memorable thanks to the post match humiliation. Even though she didn’t do as much in 2004, storyline wise, she was still actively competing throughout the year. She wrestled on several PPV’s. I don’t recall what Jackie was doing at all? The list goes on and on for Victoria, in this poll, she dominates Jackie. Ofcourse, I hate the fact, because Jackie is one of my all time favorite women to see in the ring and it’s a crime she disappeared from TV and went God knows where. Does anyone remember what she was up to at this time? I seriously can’t remember anything besides her 05 win against Chavo.

Is Victoria’s career? Thanks, but I just meant her career from 2003 onward, since 2002 is not counted for the award. It is the 2003-2013 timeline.

Victoria. Jackie’s accomplishments were earlier and during this time she was mostly on Smackdown anyway

Victoria was a jobber for most of her career after 2003 plus it eclipsed everything she did; so I choose Jackie.

She was champion in 2004 actually and wasn’t even jobbing until 2007/2008. Also Jackie was jobbing for 2003/2004 as well.

I don’t remember Jacqueline jobbing as much as Victoria did. Victoria won the women’s title but Jacqueline won the cruiserweight championship in 2004 (which i was more interested because it was a men’s title)

You dont remember Jackie jobbing because she left after losing the title.

I love Jacqueline, I do, but Victoria was around longer, was, I hate saying this, but I think the better wrestler, Jacqueline is a brawler!!!!

Gotta go with Victoria on this one. Jacqueline was mainly on Smackdown after the brand extension began and she was released in 2004, only a year into the time frame. Victoria did great her first couple of years, then WWE stopped caring about her, but given how successful she’s been in TNA, I’d say she’s had the last laugh.

Jacqueline all the way she tough been against men and worked her way from bottom to the top wwe hasnt always treated her well when they should
