10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Jan 20)
10. The Fabulous Moolah Was Jealous Of Mae Young
Younger wrestling fans exploring the rich history of WWE on the WWE Network may be confused upon seeing elderly faces such as The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young. Only adding to that confusion will be the fact that Young was involved in several key storylines during the 'Attitude Era', including giving birth to a hand on live television.
An angle like this taking place in 2017 is highly unlikely, Young was a one off. Speaking on The Tomorrow Show, Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman claimed that Moolah was jealous of Mae's stardom throughout the late-1990's and into the early years of the new millennium.
A top female performer in her own right, Moolah had to take a backseat for Young and act as her friend on TV. According to Waltman, the multi-time Women's Champion didn't take this well, and her jealousy was visible backstage.
That's fascinating to learn, it's likely nobody has viewed things this way until now. While Mae Young was going through tables, entering swimsuit competitions and generally being featured, Moolah was pushed into the background.
