The former WWE Women’s Champion Molly Holly recently had an interview with Talkin’ Sass podcast and revealed that WWE offered her coaching role but she rejected. She also explained why she turn down this offer. Here what Molly Holly said:
“Yes they have [asked me to coach at the Performance Center] and I just don’t want to. It sounds terrible but I’m just — I’m so far removed from that world. I don’t want to be this like grizzled, bitter, jaded trainer who is like, I don’t know. They need to have trainers who are passionate about pro wrestling, who love the psychology of it because you can meet certain people on the indies or people who used to work for WWE or people who do work for WWE and they just light up when their creative juices are going and they’re like, ‘Oh, you could do this, you could do that’ and it’s like, those are the kind of people you need to have as a trainer. Even though back in the day, I might’ve had skills or experience as a trainer, I’m not at that place now where I feel excited about doing that type of job.” (H/T: POST Wrestling)
Molly Holly last wrestled in WWE at last year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match, in which she was s surprise entrant on the match. She was lasted in the match for ten minutes and eliminated by Bianca Belair.
During the interview, Molly Holly also spoke about her last year’s Royal Rumble appearance and how she was nervous before entering into the ring. She stated that she was afraid that other superstars will slow their pace to match her but everything went smooth.
“It’s flattering, it feels good to be honored and I always feel a little bit embarrassed because when I do actually have to get in the ring, I just think, ‘Ugh, I’m going to be holding them back.’ Like if we have to do an interaction, I’m just like, because I’m not conditioned currently to be a pro wrestler, I’m like, ‘Ah, they’re going to have to slow their pace a half-a-step or a full step to match mine since I can’t keep up with them’ and I was nervous because I thought, ‘Oh, I don’t want them thinking, oh, this old lady is wrecking our show’ but everyone was like, ‘No, this is awesome’ and they all seem super nice and they all took care of me. They tried to make sure that they could make up for my weak areas and yeah, it’s been fun.”
Recently, WWE announced that Molly Holly will be inducted into WWE Hall of Fame class 2021 along with 2020 class on April 6th.
The support for #MollyHolly being the first inductee into the #WWEHOF Class of 2021 has been incredible.
