The Coach asked Molly how she was, and Molly said she was doing great! Molly said her first month in the WWF has been wonderful, and that everyone was so nice to her. She said it's been a dream come true! Jimmy said its been a dream come true for everyone, since everybody likes an attractive woman in the ring! Here's the Q&A.
Q:Coach asks what is it like being a part of the Holly family storylines?
A: Molly said that even before she came to the WWF, she was a huge Holly fan. Molly said that Crash is hilarious and that Hardcore is a fantastic wrestler. She says that as soon as the WWF told her that she was going to be a part of the Hollys, she was very excited, and its a lot of fun.
Q: Jonathan asks what its like to be "no one" and then go on to being "some one".
A: Molly says for a while, it was tough to get the scheduling, and working on it. And when it came to TV and performing, she was nervous, but now that she is in the swing of things, it's been a lot of fun for her.
Q: Jimmy asks Molly to tell him about working in WCW with Medusa and Randy Savage.
A: Miss Holly tells Jimmy over the phone that working with Randy Savage was awesome, and he helped create a character for her to play as, which brung more of the "showbiz" into it.
Q: Has Molly had any exposure with any other companies before WCW?
A: Molly says that WCW sent her to work for New Japan in April of this year, but she didn't have any over seas experiences prior to WCW.
Q: Who is Molly's biggest influence when she was coming to the WWF?
A: Molly says Dean Malenko. She says that he helped her become more comfortable and confident in the ring, because he taught her a lot about wrestling. Another reason is because when Molly went to meet Jim Ross, Dean is the person who introduced her.
Jimmy says that Molly did a lot in such a short period of time. Molly thanks Jimmy, and The Coach says that Kevin Kelly claims that he was a big influence on Molly. Molly says that she actually had a match on Heat against Jackie about two years ago {When she was Starla Saxton} and Kevin Kelly helped her out with that. She was in Memphis for a couple of months, and Kevin Kelly has been a big help.
Q: How long is it going to take before Molly gets used to everything on the road?
A: Molly tells us that it really gets easier every week that goes by. Molly says that she is beginning to learn what time is best to go to the gym, and she also says that its easy because she can do her laundry on her days off. It gets easier, and she's sure that within the next few months, she should be up to speed with everyone else.
Q: What is the biggest difference between WCW and the WWF?
A: Molly says that the management would change every few months in WCW, and it was kind of confusing as to who she should go to with a problem or a question. In the WWF, you know who's in charge, and you know who his assistants are, and everything seems a lot more organized.
Q: Will we ever see Molly wrestle against men?
A: Molly doesn't know, because they haven't mentioned it to her yet. However, if they need her to wrestle men, then she will.
A fan says that Molly and Lita are probably the most popular women's wrestlers since the early 80's. Molly says that she's a big fan of Lita, and when she first saw her with Essa Rios doing the high flying stuff, she impressed her. She would like to work with Lita, and she would love to have a long feud with her. It would be great to see what type of stuff they can do together.
Q: Is there anyone who Molly would like to work with in particular?
A: Molly says she liked wrestling Jackie, and Jackie is really a nice person, and she brings out the best in Molly as far as her technical ability.
Q: When can we expect Molly in her very first photo session in the RAW Magazine.
A: Molly says that she doesn't think it would fit with the Molly Holly character to do such a photo shoot. She doesn't know if the sexy bikini stuff would work with her character at this point {I agree!}!
Q: What did Molly think about her time in England, and was it her first time?
A: Molly says it was her first time, and she wishes that she could have spent more time there. The bus ride was beautiful, and she took a few pictures, and she would love to go back to England some day and see a lot more things.
Q: What is Molly's #1 Priority right now?
A: Molly says that is either Trish Stratus or the Women's Title. When Molly first started, it was Trish Stratus, but the longer she is here, she's looking more towards the Women's Title. The Coach says that's cool, because Molly can go after the Women's Title, and he can go after Trish Stratus {*Rolls Eyes*}.
Q: Where was Molly trained, and how did she get into it?
A: Molly says that an Indy wrestler introduced her to wrestling, and she started her basic stuff there, and then she met the Prince in WCW, and she trained with him, and then she trained with Dean Malenko.
Q: Did Molly train with Medusa?
A: Molly says that she worked with her a few times, but they didn't really train together much. Her style is really a strong contrast to Molly's. Medusa is fantastic, and Molly admires her work, but Molly has a different style.
Q: Could Molly give her any advice for someone who wants to be a wrestler, and is it a man's world in the WWF?
A: Molly says that people look at wrestling as a man's sport, but she thinks that if anyone can entertain the people, they are welcome. If wrestling is what you want to do, that's fantastic. Molly has had a lot of fun being a female wrestler, and you have to find a wrestling school and train hard, and send your tapes in. Hopefully you'll get a break.
A caller says that Molly is the bomb! The Coach says that the rest of the show, they are going to call Molly as Molly the Bomb Holly! Molly is going to be on Sunday Night Heat this Sunday, and she has some Holiday wishes for people out there.
Q: What are Molly's plans for the Holidays?
A: Molly says what that on Christmas Eve, she's leaving Memphis, and she will arrive back home on Christmas day, so she'll be driving. Molly will be moving out of Memphis, and she'll be going back to Florida.
Q: What is the difference between Mona and Molly Holly?
A: Molly says the Mona character was supposed to be an elegant, evening gown wearing, snotty person. Molly is a little bit more fun and upbeat, and a younger character. She liked playing both, but this Molly Holly character has been a lot of fun for her. Molly says that it was sometimes fun playing as a heel, and her family likes to see her as Molly Holly better.
Q: What's it like being around the huge stars, day in and day out? Do they help her approve, and does she watch them?
A: Molly says that they have been someone for her to look up to. Backstage, they are great. If they get the chance to see her match and if they like it, they will say so. Triple H has come up to her and said that she has done a good job. There has also been some people who have given her constructive criticism, which means a lot to her, because they want to see her improve. Molly tries to learn from their ring presence, their interviews, and they are all fantastic.
Q: What would Molly think if the WWF set up a match between her and Chyna, and what does she think of Chyna?
A: Molly says that Chyna is amazing. She's beautiful and powerful, and she would love to wrestle her, but it would be a challenge. If they were to do something like that, it would be fantastic.
Q: What about a Women's match in a cage?
A:Molly says she hasn't thought about that much, but that would be nice to change things up a bit. If they wanted her to have a cage match, she would do it for sure.
Q: What is Molly's biggest goal in the WWF, and does she plan on helping the Holly Cousins win any titles?
A: Molly says her goal is to win the Women's Title, and with the Hollys, any title would be great. Tag Team, Hardcore, and she would like to help in any way she can.
Q: Next year will start first Molly's official year in the WWF. What are her goals, what does she expect to accomplish, and how far does she think she'll go?
A: Molly says that she would love to become the Women's Champion, and she loves working with Ivory, and whoever has the belt within the year, she'll be going after it.
Q: What does Molly do in her spare time and who does she hang out with on the road?
A: Molly says in her spare time, she likes to go to classic horror shows, and she likes to go ice skating. As far as on the road, she gets along with the girls in the locker room and every body. Everyone's real nice, and the people that she hangs out with the most is the people in the developmental promotion in Memphis. Like Joey Abs.
The Coach asks Molly to talk about the fans on the road, how crazy it is, and how it feels to walk out in front of 15,000 people screaming. Molly says that the flip she does is the Molly Go Round {Cute name!}, and The Coach asks about the fans. Molly says that it's been fantastic, and it's great to have the people cheer for her. Before and after the show, when the fans want autographs, it's overwhelming at times, but she loves it. It's one of the great parts about being in the wrestling business.
Q: Is Molly single, and what does she look for in a guy?
A: Molly says that she's single. She also says she looks for someone with similar moral standards as herself.
Q: Where did Molly learn to do the Molly Go Round?
A: There had to have been hours and hours of practice before she did it on TV. Molly says due to her gymnastics background, she picked it up pretty quick. She never had the move done on her, so she doesn't really know how much it really hurts the other people. She didn't do it in WCW, and she wanted to save it for the big show, here in the WWF.
