The Night I Won the Title

Molly Holly on winning the WWE Women’s Championship for the first time at King of the Ring 2002:
On the morning of the show, I had just checked out of my hotel room, when my cup of coffee flipped out of my hands and down the front of my blouse and skirt. With a disheartened sigh, I walked back to the desk to get my key back so I could go to my room and clean up.
After winning the title, I stayed until the end of the show. When the main event ended, all the Superstars were filing out and the crew was filing in. I had a date, but couldn’t seem to find him. I called his cell phone and left a message. The arena emptied and I didn’t receive a call back – I had been stood up. So I picked up a salad at Wendy’s and ate it in my hotel room. I was looking forward to a nice hot bath when I discovered my room only had a stand-up shower. But my smile remained, because I was still the champion.
