The Fabulous Moolah past away today at 84 years young. Most people may not know her but anyone in the wrestling community will be sadden by the lost. Even if you are a casual wrestling fan, chances are, you know who she was and the humour and entertainment she brought to fans. Although she wrestled in her prime, she was mostly utilized for her mike skills and outrageous skits with her sidekick, Mae Young. Rest in peace, you will be missed. I’m sure the WWE will have some sort of memorable for her.

From Yahoo! News:

Lillian Ellison, professional wrestling’s Fabulous Moolah, has died. She was 84.

Ellison died Friday, according to Dunbar Funeral Home in Columbia.

Born Mary Lillian Ellison in 1923, she was dubbed the Fabulous Moolah after saying she wrestled “for the money … for the moolah.”

She was a longtime champion and the first woman inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame. Her autobiography, “The Fabulous Moolah: First Goddess of the Squared Circle,” was published in 2003.

“She was famous, but I never looked at her that way,” daughter Mary Austin, 66, told The State. “She was just Mom, someone that was always there for me. Someone I could turn to.”
