Fabulous Mulah


This lady is a legend of WWF.

She was world champion of the WWF on and off during the early to mid 80's before retiring.

She then won the world championship back in 1999, when she was 66!!!! Amazing

In 1983, Vincent K. McMahon began expanding the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) nationally, and he offered Moolah a lucrative deal for the rights to her Women’s World Title. Moolah agreed to appear exclusively for the WWF, and thus became the WWF Women's Champion.

The following year, pop music superstar Cyndi Lauper began a verbal feud with villainous manager "Captain" Lou Albano that brought professional wrestling into the mainstream culture in an angle that became known as the "Rock 'n Wrestling Connection."

When it was finally time for Lauper and Albano to settle their differences in the ring, a big matchup was scheduled with Albano representing Moolah against the challenge of Lauper’s protégé, Wendi Richter.

After much buildup and hype, the Fabulous Moolah lost the championship when she was defeated by Wendi Richter on July 23, 1984 in the main event of The Brawl to End it All, which was broadcast live on MTV.

She then trained Leilani Kai, who beat Richter for the title in February 1985. Richter won it back at the inaugural WrestleMania, but when Richter’s relationship soured with the WWF, Moolah donned a mask as "The Spider", and regained the belt on November 25, 1985, in a controversial decision.

Moolah continued to dominate the promotion's female division for another two years, excluding a six-day reign by Velvet McIntyre during a tour of Australia in 1986, before losing the belt to Sherri Martel on July 24, 1987.

She retired from full-time competition shortly after the loss to Martel, though she captained a team at the inaugural Survivor Series. Her team (Moolah, Velvet McIntyre, Rockin' Robin, and the Jumping Bomb Angels) defeated champion Martel and her team (Leilani Kai, Judy Martin, Donna Christanello, and Dawn Marie).
