It turns out it takes longer than expected for me to put what I like about them into words.
1. When or if I started shipping them: I think it might well have been you, Missy, because I don't think they ever really interacted on screen, unless my memory is getting worse. I think it's because they're actually quite old-fashioned, quaint characters. Because even when they're both heels, they're very ... I'm not sure what the word I want is, but they're very well behaved. There are lines they won't cross.
They're also a really cute pairing. Not sugary sweet, but sort of adorable.
2. What I think their challenge is:
There's the little matter of one of them having a mean streak a mile long and three miles wide, while the other one is nice as pie, mostly. And not in the 'good girls want to rehabilitate bad boys' way, but in a basic difference in values sort of way.
3. What makes me happy about them:
Did I mention that they're sweetly adorable? I think it's that they're quiet in the same way. Loud pauses and all that.
4. What makes me sad about them: Other than a distinct lack of WWE screen time for both of them. Not much.
5. What moment I wish had never happened: Although I suppose there are advantages to a lack of screen time, since wrestler plus valet normally leads to a break-up of the most unplesant kind.
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I think that's the thing, it's a 'ship that I can happily view as being gen and best friends forever instead of being romantic. I'd be happy for Molly to end up with Spike. Or in a Golden Age Comics AU with the Hurricane.
7. My happily ever after for them: Is quite suburban, all two up two down and a front garden with picket fences. She helps out with local youth groups and other charitable causes and goes off to do good works. He potters around the garden, growing things and drinking tea and thinking deep contented thoughts and plots the take-over of the parish council (or rather, the US equivalent).
Sorry for the delay
