The Complete A-Z Of Wrestling In 2018

21. F - Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal

The match that never was (by that name at least), WrestleMania's first all-female battle royal carried the Fabulous Moolah moniker for a week before WWE were forced to walk back from it after her problematic past came back into view.

The late former Women's Champion's placement irked fans, who pestered sponsors, who needled WWE. Their contrition was unexpected too, though already looks small-time in comparison to the decision to persist with Saudi Arabia's Crown Jewel after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
