About The Fabulous Moolah
- Mary Lillian Ellison (July 22, 1923 – November 2, 2007) was an American professional wrestler, better known by her ring name The Fabulous Moolah. She began her career working with promoter Billy Wolfe and his wife, wrestler and trainer Mildred Burke, as well as working alongside professional wrestler "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers.
- She won the NWA World Women's Championship in 1956 and was the most prominent holder of the title for 28 years. In the 1980s, she joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, later WWE) as part of the Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection storyline, feuding with Cyndi Lauper and Wendi Richter, the latter of whom defeated her for the WWF Women's Championship in the main event of The Brawl to End It All in 1984.
- Moolah regained the Women's Championship on two further occasions before entering semi-retirement towards the end of the decade.
- She continued to make sporadic appearances for WWF/WWE until her death, often in comedic roles with longtime friend Mae Young.
- In 1999, she became the oldest champion in the history of professional wrestling when she won the Women's Championship for a final time at age 76 in 1999. During her lifetime, Moolah was lauded as a leading figure in women's professional wrestling and was considered one of the industry's greatest wrestlers.
- She became the first woman to be inducted into the WWF Hall of Fame in 1995 and is also a member of the NWA Hall of Fame and the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.
- Her legacy was tarnished in the years following her death, when allegations that she had exploited women wrestlers under her tutelage surfaced.
