This week we honor and celebrate arguably the starting point of women's wrestling. A pioneering figure of epic proportion, The Fabulous Moolah. A career spanning over four decades, Moolah was known for her resilience, skill, and groundbreaking influence in a male-dominated industry.

She held the NWA World Women's Championship for an unprecedented term, shaping the landscape of women's wrestling and inspiring generations of female athletes.

Moolah's contributions helped elevate women's presence in the sport, and her legacy remains a testament to her perseverance and trailblazing spirit.
