WWE: Superstars > Hall of Fame > Fabulous Moolah > Remembering Moolah

PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER DIES OF NATURAL CAUSES: Wrestling under the name "The Fabulous Moolah", Mary Lilian Ellison held the women's wrestling championship belt for 30+ barely-interrupted years during the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s, before finally losing to Wendi Richter (managed by Cyndi Lauper) at MTV's "Brawl to End It All" back in 1984 at the height of the "rock and wrestling" fad. In 1999, at the age of 76, she regained the the title one last time before losing it days later, and she remained active with the federation doing backstage skits from time to time. She passed away on Friday at the age of 84. You can see her in action via this link.
