10 Things You Didn't Know About Molly Holly

6. Came Up With The Molly-Go-Round Moments Before Her Match

Molly might have one of the coolest looking finishing moves in the business during the Attitude Era. The Molly-Go-Round, a front flip into a seated senton off the top turnbuckle, looks and probably feels pretty painful when connecting full-force, but the move very nearly didn€™t exist at all. Earlier in the day, Molly had promised Vince McMahon she would debut her finishing move on that evening€™s broadcast against Trish Stratus. However, after trying several times to land what she describes as a 'full twisting moonsault', it was a suggestion from Dean Malenko which saved the day. After telling her he had just watched Rey Mysterio pull off a very neat looking front flip hurricanrana, The Iceman said: €œWhat if you just did a front flip and land on them?€. So that€™s what she did. €œI think Trish might have been the first one to take the Molly-Go-Round, but it was really Dean Malenko€™s idea to save me from being fired for not having the move that I had planned originally,€ she€™s quoted as saying in an interview with Cauliflower Alley Club. Whatever the reason for the move being green-lit, it looks boss and has a great name, too.
