Biography
The Fabulous Moolah was a pioneering figure in professional wrestling who became the first WWF Women's Champion in 1983. She played a central role in the Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection era, famously feuding with Cyndi Lauper and Wendi Richter. In 1995, she made history as the first woman inducted into the WWF Hall of Fame. Moolah returned to the company in 1999 and became the oldest Women's Champion in the promotion's history at age 76.
