Everyone knows The Fabulous Moolah's history with the WWE Women's Championship. She had a stranglehold over the title for decades, having first won it back in 1956. That title reign would be the longest in wrestling history as she held onto it until 1984 when she dropped it to rising sensation, Wendi Richter.

She would regain the strap twice more in the 1980s before seemingly retiring. However, after she was berated by arrogant heel Champion Ivory in the Autumn of 1999, Moolah returned to the ring and challenged her much younger foe for the title.

In a shocker, Moolah bounced Ivory around with ease, quite frankly and held her down for the pin and her fourth Women's Championship at the grand old age of 76!

She became the oldest WWE star to win a title in history and held that distinction for two decades until she was overtaken by another WWE Hall of Famer.
