WWE Hall of Famer and former Women's champion Lillian Ellison "The Fabulous Moolah" passed away in her sleep last night at her home in Columbia, SC. She was 84 years old. Moolah made her professional wrestling debut in 1949 and joined the then WWF in 1983 after Vince McMahon secured her services. Moolah came into the company already as the Women's Champion, bringing her title from the NWA and then lost it to Wendi Richter in 1984 in the main event of 'TheBrawl To End It All' which was aired live on MTV. Moolah went on to win the WWF Women's title a total of four times. In 1995 she was inducted into theWWE Hall Of Fame and appeared from time to time on WWE television along with Mae Young. Her last appearance on WWE TV was at SummerSlam during a backstage segment with McMahon and William Regal.
Miss Lillian was always a class act and a dear friend of mine. Somehow I always thought that she would always be here, because she has literally always been here. On second thought, she will indeed always be with us, as she has left a permanent impression on our industry that will never be erased. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to her family, and longtime friends Johnnie Mae Young and Diamond Lil.
The long awaited SABIN BOWL will kickoff this afternoon at 4pm (CT) on CBS. The media attention that this game has been receiving is astonishing, even more than the upcoming annual AUBURN rivalry on November 24th. I will keep my comments to myself on this one, and we shall see what we shall see! I will get to see the kickoff and the first quarter or so on television before I hit Interstate-10 for Pensacola, then I must depend on the radio for my weekly BAMA fix.
Yes indeed, I will be making my fist appearance for ULTIMATE WRESTLING in Pensacola, Florida tonight alongside my son "D.J." UW has been making it's mark on the independent scene in the Florida panhandle, and I am anxiously anticipating a fun filled evening especially if BAMA beats LSU!
