The Fabulous Moolah

The Fabulous Moolah was a pioneer of women's wrestling and she ruled the roost for decades. Well before women's wrestling achieved popularity mainly due to the WWE.

After her death Moolah's reputation took a battering especially Moolah the wrestling promoter. There were allegations of her taking various percentage cuts from her lady wrestlers, pimping them out and drug taking.

This episode could had been a hatchet job as Moolah is no longer alive to defend herself.

Interestingly there were several contributors in this documentary who came on to defend The Fabulous Moolah.

I would say what Moolah did as a promoter was not that much different from other wrestling promoters worldwide. Especially in an era when it was a tough rough game for women's wrestling.

Having your own wrestling promotion was to have power and hopefully a road to riches. Moolah herself had to learn the business the hard way when she started out. Even being forced to sleep with her first wrestling promoter.

So this was a more even handed documentary. Several contributors both pro and anti Moolah had self serving testimony.

As for Moolah, she was a tough old bird, wrestling dressed in a schoolgirl outfit even when she was in her 80s. Ooh pass the brain bleach!
