Dark Match Winner
I have been watching wrestling since the 1980's and have seen many old timers wrestle well beyong their years....but never have i seen two ladies in their late seventies to mid-eighties wrestling in the big time of the wwe. It was truly amazing in my opinon and hilarious what these ladies were able to do at their ages. Now granted they were very talented wrestlers with tons of experience in their earlier days but to put on matches and take huge bumps off the top ropes and to be powerbombed off stages onto tables had to really hurt them. (usually if a person falls down off their bed even at that age you can break a hip)
Their second careers in WWE were memorable to me. Wrestling from 1999-2003 and sporatic appearances to present day. One of the crazy things often forgot about from the attitude era of WWE. I know that Moolah passed away in 2007 and the WWE stopped letting Mae do in ring work because of a fall she had at an event. (that i can't think of at the moment)
Anyways i wont go into their amazing histories here but simply ask the question. Do you think the WWE would have been in deep if one of those older ladies got seriously injured or worse during a match? And what did you think of their work for athletes their age?
Heres a quick example of some of Moolah and Mae's work in the WWE 1999-2004 range. Theres tons of other great stuff of them on youtube as well.
