Good call on Moolah. She doesnt get enough blame for holding Women's wrestling down. She put the kibosh on the Jumping Bomb Angels vs Glamour Girls at Wrestlemania 2. Her matches were usually these half terrible comedy, half terrible wrestling 15 minute long bore fests. She was involved in screwing over Richter in November 1985 and pretty much killed the Women's Title for almost a decade depending on how you value Alundra's run. I'm not even counting the alleged abuse of the female talent. She was just the shits. Vince took her out of the ring in 84 to manage Leilani Kai and she should have stayed in that role because she was very effective. Just ugh.
