Former WWE superstar Molly Holly has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2021 along with some of the greatest names in sports entertainment. She had an excellent career recorded under WWE with two memorable Women’s championship runs.
Molly Holly is most famous for her heel roles in WWE. Even though she was introduced as a lovable babyface to the company, her heel persona during her singles run became more popular among the fans.
Molly Holly Talks Her Hall of Fame Induction
After leaving WWE in 2005, she was seen giving sporadic appearances throughout the time. Her two Royal Rumble appearances in 2018 and 2020 were really loved by the fans. Her appearance during the 2020 Royal Rumble match as ‘Mighty Molly’ was really loved by the fans.
WWE decided to honor the 43 year old by inducting her into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Molly Holly discussed about her Hall of Fame induction during her appearance on Busted Open Radio. The former two times WWE Women’s Champion said;
“It was awesome that Hurricane Helms was the one to tell me that I was going to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. The fact that he legitimately, for real, got choked up and was super proud of me, that was really special.
“I loved that moment. Behind the scenes, after that, I was told that I would have about 15 minutes to give a speech, so I spent a lot of time and had three friends of mine that are professional writers help me. I practiced it for 60 hours.
“I have a regular 9 to 5 job, and after work everyday, I would practice it while I was going for a walk. I worked really hard on it. Then, a couple days before, they said, Oh, never mind. You actually have two minutes to give your speech.’
“I cried for like four hours. A lot of times when I used to wrestle full time, they would tell us, ‘You have 12 minutes to wrestle, and then right before we walk out, they would be like, ‘Nope, nope, you have four minutes.’ We were so ready to tell a story of good vs evil, and give the fans their money’s worth, now it’s just entrances, two moves, and the match. It would be such a heartbreak. I think I took a lot of that resentment, or hurt, or whatever, from 20 years ago, and piled it on that moment when they cut my speech down.
“I was so sad, but, here’s the good news. The WWE made it right and they let me give my speech on their Youtube page, which is like 75 million people that can look at that. Sure, I was so hurt, and then I was so happy that they let me thank Dean Malenko and Lanny Poffo, and these people that really helped shape my career. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions for me.”
With her recent appearances, it is pretty much clear that she is very much for another run in WWE. She is only 43 and she has very much got it. We hope to see her having another singles run for the company.
