[edit] Career
[edit] Early Years
Debuting in 1998, Fletcher wrestled on the independent circuit as Macaela Mercedes. Because of this early ring name, "Macaela Mercedes" and "Jillian Mercedes" have been incorrectly listed as her real names.
She also wrestled for a brief time in the short lived G.L.O.R.Y. promotion, where she first began to make a name for herself.
[edit] World Wrestling Entertainment
In the spring of 2003 Fletcher began working for Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), eventually signing a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2004. She started out in OVW as a face, until she turned heel after getting breast implants and straightening and bleaching her hair blonde. The heel turn was motivated in a storyline where her implants "leaked into her brain", causing her to become psychotic. Near the end of her developmental run, Melissa Coates became her bodyguard, and together they managed Chad and Tank Toland.
Fletcher made her World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) debut on the July 28, 2005 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown! with the ring name Jillian Hall and a gimmick that had her as a publicist for the heel stable MNM. She also had a "growth" on the left side of her face, which she referred to as a "blemish", that announcers constantly speculated on the nature of. As MNM's publicist she (kayfabe) immediately secured MNM a cover of SmackDown! Magazine, but did not stay with the group for very long. Her first wrestling feud on SmackDown! was against Stacy Keibler, with the two confronting each other many times until Hall defeated Keibler in a match on the October 29, 2005 Velocity.
Hall was later approached by JBL, a former WWE Champion who asked for help repairing his image. As JBL's "Image Consultant", she successfully guided him to winning the United States Championship from Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 22. She was also involved in JBL's feud against The Boogeyman, who eventually got his hands on Hall and "ate" the growth off of her face. Not long after this, she was fired from her assistant job by JBL. After being fired she turned face, beginning a feud with former client Melina of MNM and teaming with Ashley Massaro against Kristal Marshall and Michelle McCool.
In the early part of 2007, Jillian started a feud with Massaro centered around Hall's jealousy of Massaro's Playboy appearance. During the feud Hall attempted to prove that she was talented in arenas beyond wrestling and being eye candy by singing, badly, at every opportunity.
It is confirmed by IGN and Nintendo that Jillian will be a wrestling character in WWE's new video game WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008.
