10 WWE "Divas" Who Missed The Revolution

Dating all the way back to WCW, Molly's one of the names often overlooked when Trish and Lita get the spotlight. Alongside names like Ivory, she was slotted into an automatic heel role simply for not being a sex object.

Although the irony is no doubt missed by WWE, the ‘Revolution’ which has distanced the current wave of women in WWE from the bra -&-panties, lingerie-battle-royal matches of the Divas moniker was a cause beckoned for by the top heels of that time. This is glaring with Ivory’s run with the Right To Censor, but Molly Holly’s second-wave heel character also tapped into this same genre, and seemingly based entirely around her unwillingness to shed clothing like the Smackdown divas, who were feuding over Playboy shoots and who would become the other’s mother in law.

Instead, on Raw, Molly Holly was fighting as a “pure and wholesome” athlete, who even put her hair on the line in order for the women’s championship match to not be cut from Wrestlemania XX. As the Raw Diva Search took off, Holly was quietly sidelined from TV before eventually leaving the company. If the Nora Greenwald of the year 2000 walked into 2016 WWE, we’d have seen a very different presentation.
