Jillian Hall

Jillian Faye Hall (September 6, 1980) is an American professional wrestler.

She is best known for her tenure in WWE.

After debuting in 1998, Hall worked on the independent circuit under the name Macaela Mercedes.

Debuting in 1998, Fletcher wrestled under the ring name Macaela Mercedes on the independent circuit as a villainous character.

Mercedes won numerous championships on the independent circuit, including Southern States Wrestling's Women's Championship.

She wrestled for women-only promotions, including G.L.O.R.Y., the Professional Girl Wrestling Association (PGWA), and the Women's Wrestling Alliance (WWA), and held both the WWA Women's Championship and the PGWA Championship.

She also competed for other promotions including Hoosier Pro Wrestling (HPW), where she won both the HPW Cruiserweight Championship and HPW Ladies' Championship, Canadian International Wrestling (CIW), where she won the CIW Indy Women's Championship, Mid–States Championship Wrestling, where she won the MCW Mid-American title, and Blue Water Championship Wrestling, where she won the BWCW Women's title.

Her greatest independent circuit success was in the Superstar Wrestling Federation (SWF), where she held the SWF Women's Championship and also competed in numerous intergender matches.

She held the SWF Tag Team Championship twice, once with Tiny Tim and once with Randy Allen.

In 2002 and early 2003, Mercedes wrestled regularly for the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation and Wrestle And Respect, where she competed in intergender matches and was involved in a scripted rivalry with the "Fabulous Firebird" Phoenix over the G.L.O.R.Y. Ladies' Wrestling Championship.

She won numerous championships, before beginning to work for Ohio Valley Wrestling in 2003 under her real name.

She debuted on WWE's SmackDown brand as the "fixer" for the MNM faction.

After leaving MNM, she became John "Bradshaw" Layfield's "image consultant", and managed him to the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 22.

On January 23, 2003, Mercedes won the G.L.O.R.Y. Ladies' Wrestling Championship, when she defeated the "Fabulous Firebird" Phoenix via referee's decision at an Apocalypse Wrestling Federation show.

In mid-2003, Fletcher began working for Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).

She eventually signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2004.

She started out in OVW as a fan favorite—gaining the nickname "Chronically Cute"—and had a series of matches against Alexis Laree.

After wrestling sporadically throughout 2004, Hall returned in January 2005 as a villain, complete with breast implants, and straightened, bleached blonde hair.

The villainous turn was motivated in an angle where her implants "leaked into her brain", causing her to become psychotic.

As a villain, she managed the OVW Southern Tag Team Champions Blonde Bombers (Tank and Chad Toland) alongside her bodyguard Melissa Coates and went on a spree of blinding people with rubbing alcohol in storyline.

Hall made her WWE debut on the July 28, 2005, episode of SmackDown! with a gimmick of a "fixer" for the villainous faction MNM (Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro, and Melina).

She also had a "growth" on the left side of her face, which she referred to as a "blemish", the nature of which the announcers constantly speculated over.

The gimmick carried over to OVW, where the Blonde Bombers forced her to choose between them and MNM.

She eventually chose MNM, but did not stay with that group for very long.

As MNM's fixer, she, in storyline, helped them to obtain a photo shoot for the cover of SmackDown! magazine, and helped to fix a problem that Melina had with Torrie Wilson, by helping Melina defeat her.

Hall was later approached by John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL), a former WWE Champion who asked for help repairing his image after a loss to underdog Rey Mysterio.

During this time, she was involved in her first feud on SmackDown!, against Stacy Keibler, with the two confronting each other many times until Hall cheated to defeat Keibler in Keibler's final match on Velocity, one of WWE's secondary television programs.

As JBL's "Image Consultant", she had an important role in JBL's feud with The Boogeyman, which included The Boogeyman putting worms down her skirt and biting off her mole.

She also successfully guided JBL to winning the United States Championship from Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 22 in April.

That April, he fired her after Hall accidentally slammed a cage door on JBL's head during a steel cage match and put together a "second-rate" United States championship celebration.

After being fired, she turned into a fan favorite and began a scripted rivalry with former client, Melina of MNM.

In February 2007, Hall developed an in-ring persona as a tone-deaf singer.

In June 2007, she was drafted to Raw, where she participated in numerous tag team matches after allying with Melina.

In October 2009, she won the WWE Divas Championship, but lost it to Melina the same night.

Hall was released from her WWE contract in November 2010.

Since 2010, Hall has wrestled on the independent circuit.

Hall was originally trained by Roger Ruffen in Cincinnati.

Later she trained with Dave Finlay at his professional wrestling school.

Following this, Hall has appeared twice in WWE; first at the Raw Reunion in 2019, second at the Royal Rumble 2021.

Following her 2019 Raw Reunion appearance, WWE officially began regarding Hall as a legend.
