I would use them every opportunity that I could. At 75-they wanted AUSTIN! Man, they both loved the business so much, it was just who they were. The one thing that I will never forget about these two precious women was that every time they came to TV, they were READY TO FIGHT!

I knew what female wrestlers had to deal with courtesy of the “men’s club” in the 90’s, but what Mae and Moolah had to endure decades earlier-I don’t even WANT TO KNOW. Mae and Moolah were truly, truly, trail blazers in the wrestling business. Every time these two ladies would grace my presence at a TV taping, it was an absolute GIFT. When I worked with both Mae Young and the Fabulous Moolah, they were both in their mid-70’s. Now, I did have the honor of working with Mae and it was every bit of the word-HONOR. Yeah, the SAME GUY who thought Mae Young giving birth to a HAND would be an ABSOLUTE HOOT!!įACT-I had been gone from the WWE for FIVE MONTHS prior to Mae giving life to 5 fingers and a palm-FIVE MONTHS! I was NOWHERE NEAR THIS MESS.
