10 WWE Heels Who Were Actually Babyfaces In Disguise
8. Molly Holly
From playing Spike Dudley’s love interest to The Hurricane’s sidekick Mighty Molly, Molly Holly played a number of roles through her WWE career. Her most miscast spell came in 2002, when, after whacking Hurricane with a frying pan, Molly took his Hardcore Championship and turned heel at WrestleMania X8.
She lost the belt to Christian an hour later, and soon split from the Hurricane. Reverting to her old ring name, Molly cut her trademark blonde hair, dyed it brown, and took on a new gimmick. At a time when WWE still promoted women’s wrestling on aesthetics and very little else, Holly set-out to clean the division up. She was sick and tired of Divas using their looks to get ahead and degrading themselves in bra & panties matches, and sought to make the division “pure and wholesome” again.
A noble cause, surely? Not in WWE’s eyes. Sure, Molly was often self-righteous during the run, but she was never as bad as the Right to Censor. Her motivations were entirely admirable, but how dare anyone get in the right of WWE’s desire to promote the crude, crass, and demeaning, right?
Molly was only partially successful in her quest, but as a wrestler, she definitely arrived in WWE at least a decade too early: a prime Molly Holly would fit like a glove in today’s WWE.
