Hailing from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, Molly Holly is next up on our list of the greatest women wrestlers of all-time. Molly Holly, born Nora Kristina Greenwald, despite standing at only 5'4 was a suplex specialist. During her time as a pro-wrestler, there wasn't an opponent she didn't fear lifting off the ground and hurling over her shoulders. Holly was also quite the athlete performing moves like the Rolling Neck Snap, Sunset Flip Powerbomb, and Handspring Back Splash regularly in the ring. Also, her finishing move, the Molly Go Round takes an exquisite amount of precision to execute on a weekly basis.
As a youth, Molly Holly never thought that she would become a pro-wrestler with her aspirations set on becoming an American Gladiator. However, as a teen, she began powerlifting and eventually found herself working for the WCW as a trainer and eventually as a wrestling personality herself. From 1998-2005, Holly worked for both the WCW and the WWF where she captured the WWF Women's Championship (2x) and the WWF Hardcore Championship for an hour before losing it to Christian at WrestleMania X8. Since then, Molly Holly has popped in and out of the independent circuit and the WWE over the past decade.
