Lillian was a very dear friend of mine, a sweet, wonderful girl. I loved her very dearly. We had a lot of very good times together. Back in 1949, she came to Charlotte, N.C., and I was wrestling and helped to train her.

Before I worked with WWE, I worked in the independents with Moolah, I'm just shocked right now. Moolah was the classiest person you could meet; she was very welcoming to new girls in the business.

It's a big loss for the sports-entertainment world. I was very close with Moolah and Mae. We have them to thank for our Women's division. They paved the way, got in there and kicked ass.

Fellow Hall-of-Famer Sgt. Slaughter remembers his friend, Fabulous Moolah:
Moolah's death is a tremendous loss for the WWE. She had a passion for the sport and took the Women's Division to an entirely new level. She was a wonderful storyteller and a real General in the ring, a true pioneer.

I worked for Lillian since 1963 when I came to North Carolina to wrestle. She was not only someone I worked for, she was my chosen sister. I have a brother and a sister, but Lillian was my chosen sister. She’s been a lifelong friend.

We lost one of the leaders and pioneers of women’s wrestling when Fabulous Moolah passed away. When anybody thinks of women’s wrestling, the first name that always comes to mind is Fabulous Moolah.

I remember Moolah when I joined WWE in 1970. She was a Champion and a beautiful lady, and she could be rough and tough, too. She really loved to wrestle, really loved it. She was big into being healthy and working out all the time. I think that’s why we got along so well, because neither of us smoked or drank.
Katie Glass remembers Moolah
November 3, 2007
Glass was just a teenager when she first met Moolah. While at a wrestling event in 1961 in Richmond, Va., Glass was mesmerized by Moolah’s in-ring prowess. After the event, Glass had the opportunity to speak with Moolah about becoming a professional wrestler. So impressed with what she learned in just one conversation, Glass bought a bus ticket the next day and headed down to the Carolinas to train with the future WWE Hall of Famer. She has been down there ever since.
