Mad Maxine on Fabulous Moolah: "She Was a Real-Life Heel, Monstrous Person"

Posted By: Caylon Knox on Mar 14, 2018

Former professional wrestler Mad Maxine (real nameĀ Jeannine Mjoseth) recently spoke to ProWrestlingSheet.com about WWE's decision to dedicate their new all-femaleĀ WrestleManiaĀ Battle Royal Match to the late WWE Hall of Famer, The Fabulous Moolah.

Maxine was trained by Moolah, and she - like several others throughout the years - claims that Moolah was abusive toward her female wrestling students.

Maxine told ProWrestlingSheet.com the following:

The Fabulous Moolah was a real-life heel. A lot of women paid to train at her school and then went out on the road. They risked life and limb in their matches and she repaid them with the worst kinds of abuses. She skimmed their money, she ignored women who were badly hurt, she pimped women out to creepy men and on and on. She wasĀ notĀ a mother figure. She was more like Kali, the Indian Goddess of Destruction. I met her in my early 20s and I had never met such a monstrous person.

I was smart enough to get the hell away from her and start my own independent career in Tampa as part of theĀ Championship Wrestling from Florida.Ā Luna Vachon, Peggy Fowler and I all left together, which I hope put a serious dent in her confidence, if not wallet.

I understand why Moolah was so grotesque. Her family was dirt poor and she determined that she was never going to be hungry again. But it doesn’t excuse her dog-eat-dog behavior. I’d much rather see WWE establish a named match for outstanding wrestlers (and decent human beings) like Susan ā€˜Tex’ Green, Beverly Shade, Leilani Kai, Wendi Richter, Princess Victoria or Joyce Grable. They all put their hearts and souls into wrestling for decades and helped others along the way.

But wrestling isn’t PC. It’s about generating heat. And you can’t draw more heat than naming a match for The Fabulous Moolah. May she be the last of her kind.
