7. Victoria vs. Molly Holly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXzWpfWneAs There is no performer, male or female, more underrated over the last decade than Molly Holly. A great worker whose talents were equal to those of some of the greatest male technicians of the time, Molly could out-wrestle any woman she engaged in competition. Despite her unrivaled skill and ability, her rivalry with Victoria in 2003 and '04 proved quite problematic, leading to a humiliating head shaving at WrestleMania XX that remains one of the most memorable WWE Divas moments ever. The Women's champion as 2003 came to an end, Molly had defeated all comers, including Trish Stratus, Lita and the veteran Ivory. As a fellow heel, Victoria was never really allowed the opportunity to try and wrest the title away from Molly. That changed when she became a babyface in early 2004 and finally managed to put an end to the morally uptight champion's rather lengthy reign. Molly was livid over the loss, which occurred in a very hard-fought, high-quality bout on the February 23 episode of Raw. Their most memorable bout, the WrestleMania match, was actually one of the more disappointing in their series. The fact that it is as recognized and memorable as it is serves as a testament to the women themselves, who accentuated the great pre-match stipulation with a sound wrestling match that preceded the entertaining head shaving that ensued.
