10 Things You Didn't Know About Wendi Richter

10. The Fabulous Moolah Lost Her Rookie Of The Year Trophy

Wendi Richter began training in 1979 and had her first professional match in 1980. Her talent was noticed quickly and she was awarded a Rookie of the Year trophy.

The strife between The Fabulous Moolah and Richter would be evident even this early in her career as Moolah drove to Tennessee to pick up Wendi's award. When Moolah came back she told Richter that somebody had lost it. 

Richter didn't believe the tale she was told and assumed that Moolah purposely ditched it. "She probably left it there and laughed," Wendi would later say. "I wouldn't put anything past her."

This would certainly not be the last time that Richter felt slighted by her trainer.
