Quote November 4, 2007 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Lillian Ellison, professional wrestling's Fabulous Moolah, has died. She was 84. Ellison died Friday, according to Dunbar Funeral Home in Columbia. Born Mary Lillian Ellison in 1923, she was dubbed the Fabulous Moolah after saying she wrestled "for the money ... for the moolah." She was a longtime champion and the first woman inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame. Her autobiography, "The Fabulous Moolah: First Goddess of the Squared Circle," was published in 2003 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/mfawg/moolahold.jpg) She started as the valet to the ORIGINAL Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers. Her feud with Wendy Richter and Cyndi Lauper was part of the WWE's rise to prominence in the early 80's Title: Re: Gone to the great battle royal in the sky...
