As announced on WWE’s Twitter, the first inductee into the 2021 Hall Of Fame is none other than Mighty Molly Holly herself!
She began her professional wrestling career in WCW, where she also worked as a trainer. In 2000, she debuted in the WWF as part of The Holly Cousins stable and was later aligned with The Hurricane.
One of my favourite and most notable matches of Molly’s is the Hair vs Hair Match against Victoria at Wrestlemania XX
as recapped in Shalene’s top five Memorable Hair vs Hair Matches (written in anticipation of the Sonya vs Mandy match, which changed stipulation)
”Molly Holly defeated Gail Kim to win the Women’s Championship for the second time in July 2003. Kim turned heel, and she and Holly feuded with Lita and Trish Stratus. This eventually led to a title match between Holly and Lita at Survivor Series, where the former retained.
In February 2004, she lost the title to Victoria in a Four-Way Elimination match. This kicked off a feud between the two, with things coming to a head at WrestleMania XX. Holly vowed that if she couldn’t win the title, she’d shave her head. Well, Victoria won, so the champ personally delivered the loser her consolation prize: baldness.
Holly has stated that it was her idea, pitching it to Vince McMahon because she wanted to do something shocking at The Showcase of the Immortals. She clearly got her wish, and spent the next few months wearing various wigs to try and hide her bald head.
She appeared sporadically afterwards, eventually leaving the company and wrestling full-time in 2005. Victoria went on to hold the Women’s Championship until June 2004, losing it to Stratus in a Fatal Four-Way match at Bad Blood.”
She made a surprise return during the First-Ever Women’s Royal Rumble in 2018.
Molly was also in the Battle Royale at the first-ever all Women’s pay-per-view, Evolution.
She returned reprising her Mighty Molly Persona at the Royal Rumble on January 26, 2020, entering at number 3 and being eliminated by eventual winner Bianca Belair.
The news was revealed to her on The Bump by longtime Friend and previous Tag Team partner Shane ‘The Hurricane’ Helms
