Fans Outraged Over The Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal
WWE fans took to Twitter after WWE announced Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 34.
Many fans know Moolah’s past thanks to the internet and various female wrestlers through the years telling their stories about Moolah. For those who don’t know, The Fabulous Moolah’s career inside, and outside the squared circle was not so fabulous.
Throughout Moolah’s career, various female wrestlers have come forward with stories accusing her being a pimp. Many claimed that Moolah provided various wrestling promoters with unsuspecting female wrestlers that would be used as sex objects. Unfortunately, this is not all Moolah would be accused of in her career.
Other female wrestlers accused Moolah for using her financial influence to control the women’s wrestling scene. This ensured other women did not gain greater recognition. After all, Moolah didn’t hold a championship for 28 years and not have some sort of control.
The Wrestling Outsider on Twitter started an online petition to cancel The Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal.
#FabulousMoolah did nothing for the #WomensEvolution … if you read up on the history of Moolah you will see what she was really like back in the day.
We are currently dealing with #MeToo and you have @WWE endorsing people like Moolah?

The Fabulous Moolah was a serial abuser. She made a career off the suffering and exploitation of women who trusted her with their lives & safety. She drugged women to keep them controlled. Sickening. https://t.co/ICl65ah1eO

Did you know? The Fabulous Moolah was a human trafficker for female wrestlers. She pimped semi-trained women to promoters and their wrestlers, those who didn’t comply were raped. @WWE, remove her name from the WrestleMania Womens Battle Royal asap. pic.twitter.com/cHff614MKs

The “Fabulous” Moolah was a serial abuser of women in every way possible. She made her career off of the suffering and exploitation of young women who trusted her with their lives & safety. She shouldn’t be honored by WWE — they should be ashamed that they enabled her. #RAW
