R.I.P to a true legend of women's wrestling. Hopefully we'll get a fitting tribute to her career and as good a women's match as possible this week on Raw as a tribute.

Anyway, I think we'll have a straight, clean, non-gimmick Beth Vs Mickie for the title on Monday in tribute, hopefully. We'll have The Mental vs. Kelly Kelly in a bikini contest. |

It's weird, even though she was old, she's such an institution, I never really thought about her dying.
RIP

OMG. You can't think of someone like her dying. R.I.P. It really is one of those things that you don't think about until it happens. Despite her age, I don't think ANYONE expected to wake up this morning to "The Fabulous Moolah passed away last night". |

Years ago I read some article (sorry, forgot who the author and publication was) that compared Moolah to Lou Thesz (due to her dependability and bankability. Personally, I think she compares more to Harley Race). I'm not a big fan of women's wrestling of any era, but from the hundreds of women's matches I've watched, Moolah was the most consistently entertaining.

She said in her book she wanted wrestle on her 100th birthday and I believed it when she said she would. |

Wow! That was a huge shocker! Can't believe that.
I'm glad I got to see her in person, although she was pretending to be a dog, but I did get to see her.
RIP Moolah. Greatest Womens Champ of all time.

Damn. I always though Moolah was cool. I wrote a song about her once. At least she lived a long full life.
RIP

Rest In Peace Lilian Ellison. You truly were Fabulous and a pioneer and without you, we wouldn't have Trish, Lita, Mickie or Jillian.
I hope WWE gives her a fitting tribute and shows their appreaciation for everything she did for women's wrestling because when it comes to legendary competitors, Moolah is right there alongside Andre the Giant. She was a spunky lady and I'll miss her.

That shouldn't matter, Sherri worked for the company as well and was a big part of it when she was in her prime. Anyone who has worked for the company and passed should get equal treatment. I understand having bigger things like what they did for Eddie and Chris, when people are on the main roster up and die. Yes, but Moolah was working on screen as of just three months ago. Sherri hadn't worked for WWE for about 15 years. Moolah also had a close relationship with the McMahons and Sherri didn't. 15 years? I believe the last time she was there was when she and Angle were mocking Michaels. And weren't they going to bring her in as a agent for the female workers? |
