Why not her? (Aside from her being batshit crazy, fairly sure she's scoring an N/A on the pimping front). She also celebrated a man murdering a teen on Twitter. Since people value Twitter so much.

It goes back to that JJ quote about Moolah being a survivor. She made it through six decades in the business and died rich, so she's a more admirable figure to them than someone with personal and professional issues that died young. It doesn't matter to them how Moolah did it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vgmastr Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If they wanted to name it after the most well known female wrestler who's passed away it would be Chyna, and with her being the first woman to enter a Royal Rumble naming a battle royal after her would have actually made a little sense.

Spritenaut 32 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Please.... the requirement in wrestling for claiming Samoan ancestry is fat hips and dark skin/the ability to tan really well. Rocky Romero, Abdullah the Butcher, and Johnny B. Badd could enter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'd be hyped for Cena/Taker if Taker didn't look so shitty last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Someone else mentioned WWE doesn't want to draw attention to wrestlers dying young. So Sherri and Liz are out. Madusa is a living nut job and could embarrass the company. I don't know what kind of terms Wendi Richter is on with the company. But they probably fear she could drop dead. WWE only cares about image. They think died young from drugs is worse than alleged piece of shit. The 98 and on generation are too young. I don't think Trish or Lita want a legends award named after them at 39 or 40. Surprised they did not use Mae Young again. But the tourney was aimed at hardcores who would know the rumors and stories of Moolah. June Beyer and Mildred Burke would work, but they never worked for any iteration of WWE. It might be time to bring back the Terri Invitational Tourney, think of the trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It should be Mildred Burke. She's already in the hall, so there's precedent for acknowledging her, and she did more for women's wrestling. They just don't have footage of her dancing with Too Cool or whatever is actually important to them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I almost wrote Mildred Pierce but I am positive she never worked the territory. If it were up to me it would be the Mountain Fiji Memorial Battle Royal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefanie Without Stefanie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 On 3/13/2018 at 2:27 PM, Technico Support said: Many thanks. I had no idea about the Glamour Girls/Angels thing. Also, regarding the Wendi Richter part of the story. It's funny how all the WWF/WWE women who ever stood up for themselves and knew their worth were always billed as difficult, arrogant, or just good old fashioned "bitches" and were rode out of town. While the biggest, most difficult bitch ever gets to go down in history as "Mr. Wrestlemania." Sure is something. I'd be tempted to say there's a double standard there. The timeline doesn't really line up for the JB Angels/Glamour Girls thing. The switch back to the Glamour Girls happened in June 1988 (on a countout, at that). That said, the JB Angels and Leilani Kai disappeared from WWF cards in mid-March 1988, so chances are Moolah cut them off before Mania. The June switch was likely just for AJW to get the WWF belts off the JB Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 There was a story that they did a tag title change in Japan that the office did not approve and Moolah stooged on them. So the WWF got rid of them all. Hawk had his own theory of why Vince put up with Shawn and threw everyone under the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhock Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Maybe the best idea would be for WWE to just begin referring to it as "the Women's Battle Royal" sans anyone's name, and quietly just not mention Moolah again. Change the trophy to a generic one and pretend like it was always that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodzillaPerez Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Or just swap out "Moolah Memorial" with "Rougeau Brothers" and make the trophy a set of golden mini US flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 All of you are thinking too hard as to who else they could use if not Moolah. It should be named after Stephanie McMahon. It is totally something she would kayfabe do and either a heel would get easy heat thanking trophy Steph all the time, or a face would get great heat smashing the darn thing.
