		In vintage WWF fashion, history was rewritten as Moolah was portrayed as having held the Women’s Title uninterrupted for the previous thirty years (which was practically true since all of Moolah’s past title losses totaled just a few weeks that she had not held the belt since 1956).
		After much buildup and a tremendous amount of hype, the Fabulous Moolah finally ceded the championship in the most anticipated women’s matchup in history when she was defeated by Wendi Richter on July 23, 1984 in the main event at “the Brawl to End it All,” which was broadcast live on MTV.
		But when Richter’s relationship quickly soured with the WWF, Moolah donned a mask as the Spider Lady, and regained the belt on November 25, 1985 in a controversial decision (Richter was never told she would be losing the title, and fell victim to a Moolah shoot and a conspiring referee in a real-life episode).

	>>> Lethalwow.com << Fantasy Warefare: The Fabulous Moolah vs. Jazz
		On September 18 1956, Fabulous Moolah defeated Judy Grable in the finals of a tournament in Baltimore, Maryland, to determine the new holder of the Women's Championship.
		Jazz should stick to her strengths, blinding Moolah with a level of pure power and scientific skill that Fabulous One would be at a loss to combat.
		Moolah's only hope would lie in her legendary mean strak, although finding the opportunity to show it in the face of Jazz's take-no-prisoners style would be a problem.

	The Fabulous Moolah
		Over the years, some of the details of her up-bringing or how she got the Moolah name may have changed as a result of endless re-tellings for endless interviewers, but the basic story remains the same: Moolah loves to wrestle, she loves to train wrestlers, and she has no regrets about anything.
		The problem is that Moolah is quite willing to criticize certain other promoters, and a reader might wonder if those others are being defined as evil so that her current boss can be defined as good: autobiography as wrestling metaphor, with heels and babyfaces in a battle to entertain the public.
		In fact, she so much likes the WWE that she constantly refers to it, even when talking about her career in the 60s and 70s in the WWF-- this may be revisionist history, something wrestlers are famous for, or it may be careless editing, since there was no WWE in the 70s.

	Professional Wrestling Online Museum - Ring Chronicle Hall of Fame Inductee - Fabulous Moolah
		Moolah was talented and knowledgeable, devious and vicious, courageous yet cowardly, and she could "work" the crowd like few others, male or female.
		Moolah was never "the girl next door" and her evil ring character wouldn't think twice about taking an illegal shortcut to gain the victory.
		Yet, once again, Moolah was only separated from her title for a few days, as she regained the title in a rematch, again in New York.

	The Fabulous Moolah
		If Moolah has a scrap book, I'd love to see what other memorabilia she has saved from her long career: her amazing longevity is a testament to her ability to adapt to each new generation.
		So, it should not be surprising that Moolah's book holds faithfully to the WWF/WWE version of wrestling history, with nothing in it to criticise or even question the man who signs her paycheck.
		It is thus more of a publicity piece for the "Moolah" character and a tribute to the WWE than it is an in-depth look at Moolah's life.

		There's some social commentary about the changing roles of women and society, but the real engine of this movie are the girls themselves, holding forth on angels and heels, sleazy producers (like the legendary "promoter of flesh" Billy Wolfe), fixed matches, the loneliness of the road, and much, much more.
		Leitman cleverly side-steps the "is it real or fake" debate that tends to pre-occupy wrestling, and instead offers a rare insight to the lives and stories of women who's lives are, in some cases, all too real.
		While Moolah and her friend,The "Great" Johnny Mae Young provide the color and humor of Lipstick and Dynamite, other icons such as Gladys "Killem" Gillem and Ida May Martinez provide a more sombre and human aspect and discuss the hardships that they faced as professional wrestlers.
