Jaci Johnson (aka Nora "Jaci" Moore) is an independent pro wrestling manager and wrestler who has worked for various promotions in MN, WI, IL, NC, SC, and WVA.
Career[]
She began her wrestling career in 2003 with Midwest Pro Wrestling (MPW) in Minnesota. She then went on to work for NWA-ACW in Wisconsin. She has managed several wrestlers, has wrestled in both singles and tag-team matches, and has done guest appearance ring announcing in many promotions throughout the midwest and the south. Jaci was trained by Dan Schaffner and Terry Klinger at Mid-West Pro Wrestling.
Jaci's gimmick began as the older sister of wrestler John Johnson. She started a secret relationship with John's tag partner, Pretty Boy Delgado. She convinced Delgado that he should pursue the singles championship title and ordered him to turn against her brother. During one of Delgado's singles match, it was revealed that Jaci was his girlfriend and now his manager. This led to a long feud between John and his long time friend/ex-tag partner, Delgado, who now had Jaci by his side at every match. Jaci later dumped Delgado after he continued to lose matches and failed to secure the championship title belt. She later made it a point to "date" whomever held the championship title and then immediately end the relationship when they lost the title.
Jaci eventually moved on from the Midwest to work promotions in the south. Her gimmick changed from "heel" to "babyface".
Though she continues to use the last name Johnson in wrestling, it is not her actual lastname and despite many people (other wrestlers included) believing that John Johnson was actually her brother, he is not.
