Molly Holly
Noreen Greenwald (born September 7, 1978 in Forest Lake, Minnesota), better known by her stage name Molly Holly is a professional wrestler who worked for World Championship Wrestling and later World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand until April 2005.
Career
Greenwald started wrestling as Starla Saxton in 1997 after being trained by Dean Malenko and Jeff Bradley in Tampa, Florida. She worked on the independent circuit and wrestled for WWF and WCW as a jobber.
She gained some fame in WCW as Miss Madness, one of Randy Savage's valets along with Gorgeous George and Madusa. This heel group, called "Team Madness", would interfere in matches for the benefit of Savage. Eventually, Savage turned on her and she became Mona, a face wrestler.
She next showed up in WWF as Lady Ophelia, a dark match wrestler. Her name was changed to Molly Holly so that she could join her "cousins" Bob Holly and Crash Holly. She went through an on-screen courtship with Spike Dudley. In July 2001 she dumped Spike to become Mighty Molly, superhero sidekick to The Hurricane. She eventually left him to become a full-time solo wrestler, returning to the name Molly Holly, and feuded with Ivory, Lita, Trish Stratus and Victoria.
Greenwald requested her release from WWE on April 12, 2005. There are conflicting reports as to whether she has retired or is simply taking time off.
Greenwald is a born-again Christian and loves to tinker with old cars in her spare time.
In August 2005, Greenwald released a DVD entitled "Nora Greenwald: Shootin' the Shi Crap" which explores how she got her big break in the wrestling business, as well as her views on sex and the real reason why she left the wrestling business for the time being.
