Renaming the Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal


Just after WWE announced the first ever Fabolous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal for this year's WrestleMania, the voices got louder and louder that for name-change. There is even a petition online right that seeks a rebranding of WWE's newest step in their Women's Revolution. But why is that so and who should replace Moolah?


The petition:


Why do people want a name change? Fabulous Moolah truly is a pioneer of Women's Wrestling. A 50 year career, a 28+ year nonstop title reign (according to WWE) and a championship win after turning 80 years old. But Moolah had a dark side, allegdy, having pimped out other women, that were trying to make it in the business. The social media outrage is huge, so let see how WWE could change the name of the Battle Royal in order to smooth out with it's fans. 

Chyna Memorial Battle Royal

 While Andre the Giant (who gives the AtG Memorial Battle Royal his name) was the 8th Wonder of the World, the late great Chyna was billed as No 9. It would only make sense to give her the honor as she was the first women ever to the enter the Royal Rumble and the first and only women to capture the Intercontinental Title. But with her involvement in the Adult Industry it is highly unlikely the WWE would change the name to Chyna.

Mae Young Memorial Battle Royal
Mae Young might be the greatest female legend ever. Wrestling since the dawn of time, she made in incredible mark in the business and did everything she could to help, even at the age of 80+ the appeared on WWE television and even had a match at the age of 87. The only problem: She already is the name giver to the Mae Young Classic, a WWE women's tournament introduced in 2017 and WWE might not want to use the same name twice.  

"Sensational" Sherri Martel Battle Royal
A former AWA and WWF Women's Champion Sensational Sherri was also one of the greatest valets ever in the WWE, managing Shawn Michaels, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage and Harlem Heat, just to name a few. Her legend would definitely fit with the Memorial Battle Royal idea.


Who would you like to see as a replacement for the Fabulous Moolah name if WWE decides to change their plans?
