Garcia welcomes Molly Holly to the show.
Holly informs that she “freaked out” when hearing the announcement about the first ever women’s Royal Rumble match. She was very excited and surprised, even though she admits that she should have seen it coming given the abundance of female talent on the current roster.
She doesn’t necessarily feel that she helped pave the way for the current generation of women, because there were hundreds of talented women who came before her as well. However, she does think that her generation helped to revive women’s wrestling between 2000-2003, when in-ring competition between women started to garner some respect again.
Holly informs that she loves a lot of the women on WWE’s current roster, but she’s a big fan of Bayley and she thinks Charlotte has taken things to a whole new level. She doesn’t really miss wrestling, but she does miss the smiles on fans faces, and the friendships she had behind the scenes.
She thinks women can definitely main event WrestleMania in the future, but she thinks WWE is going to have to find a few women who have the ‘star’ quality which helped performers like Hulk Hogan and The Rock become massive stars in the past.
That sums up this week’s episode of Chasing Glory. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
