Despite the constant opposition, Spike and Molly continued to spend time together as a couple.

The Holly cousins wanted Molly to dump the scrawny, awkward Spike, while the Dudley Boyz felt that Molly was clouding Spike’s judgement on handling wrestling business. Naturally, the Dudleys and Hollys were against Molly and Spike’s relationship and that only escalated the violence between the two teams. You had the classic of tale of two people from opposite sides finding love with one another, despite their families determined to destroy the other. While the Dudleys and Hollys were hardly the Montagues and Capulets in this story…it was one of the very best…yet underrated angles of the post Attitude Era. In storyline, Molly Holly was the cousin of Hardcore and Crash Holly, while Spike Dudley was the kayfabe brother to Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley. They would find love with one another in between a violent feud between their warring “families” of the Hollys and the Dudleys. The subjects in this tale would be Molly Holly and Spike Dudley. In 2001, the World Wrestling Federation tried their hand at recreating the classic Romeo and Juliet storyline. Whether it was George ‘The Animal’ Steele pining for Miss Elizabeth, Stephanie McMahon and Test or even something as bizarre as Kane and Lita…the WWF/WWE has had no shortage of superstars falling in love with each other. In all the years that the promotion has been around, there have been many love storylines. Nobody is going to confuse WWE with a Shakespearean masterpiece…a soap opera perhaps, but nothing above that.
