10 Wrestlers You Didn’t Realise Wrestled For WWE In 1998
1. Molly Holly
Months after a dark match tryout for WCW in early 1998 and her arrival proper with the company as Miss Madness in 1999, the future Holly cousin was extremely impressive in two short televised encounters with WWE Women's Champion Jacqueline during the Sable-inspired revival of the title.
Though aesthetically unvarnished, Starla Saxton was clearly a polished performer firmly ready for the spotlights of wrestling's 'Big Two', and was permitted to look on an even keel with the hard-hitting champion before falling foul of match-winning DDTs during both encounters.
Foreshadowing the credibility she'd bring to a stuttering female league in the early years of the decade, Molly matched the champion's in-ring skills but was considered too vanilla during the highly sexualised era.
Her repackaging as evening gown-sporting Mona in WCW less than a year later was reward for her gifted in-ring ability, and she was a hugely beneficial pick-up for WWE in 2000 after being inexplicably released as a cost-cutting measure by the imploding Atlanta outfit.
