Mae Young is a WWE legend and Hall of Famer in her own right, even though much of her later career was overshadowed by The Fabulous Moolah. The former Women's Champion has left a massive legacy behind in the wrestling business, so much so that WWE presented The Mae Young Classic tournament two years in a row in order for the company to bring in some fresh female talent.

Mae Young was someone who lived and breathed the business and regularly made appearances on WWE programming up until her death in 2014.

Despite her advanced age, Young was still happy to step in the ring when needed which is why her final WWE match came when she was an incredible 87 years old in 2010. As part of Old School RAW, Young won a Falls Count Anywhere Handicap match against both Layla and Michelle McCool.

This match made Young the first person over the age of 80 to compete in a WWE ring as well as the first person to wrestle in nine different decades.
