Superstar Spotlight
January 2005
Molly Holly is much more than just another pretty face. While several of the WWE Divas use their striking good looks to their advantage in the ring, Molly prefers to let her fists do the talking.
Molly debuted in WWE on the Nov. 6, 2000 edition of RAW and made an immediate impact, brutally attacking Trish Stratus and setting off a rivalry that would be rekindled several times over the years to come. Molly got her first taste of gold at the 2002 King of the Ring when she defeated Trish Stratus by grabbing Stratus’ tights for the Women’s Championship. Stratus gained revenge three months later, defeating Molly at Unforgiven.
Molly continued to brutalize her opponents on a weekly basis, finishing off many matches with her devastating Molly-Go-Round off the top rope. She got another shot at the fold on July 28, 2003 edition of RAW and defeated Gail Kim with her patented finisher.
Molly went on to hold that gold until the Feb. 24, 2004 edition of RAW, when she lost to Victoria in a Four-Way Elimination Match. Molly’ title run marked the longest Women’s Championship reign since the title was reintroduced in 2001. Molly tried to exact revenge on Victoria at WrestleMania XX, but she came up short in a Hair vs. Hair Match.
The loss of her flowing locked kicked off a new mean streak in Molly that she still carries today. Most observers believe it will only be a matter of time before the Women’s Championship is back around her waist.
