WWE has dropped the “Fabulous Moolah” name from the women’s battle royal at WrestleMania after a lot of backlash due to Moolah’s alleged abuse towards the women that she trained, including stealing their money and “pimping them out.”
WWE released a statement saying:
After further consideration, we believe it’s best to proceed with the name ‘WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal.’ What remains most important is that this historic match is part of WWE’s unwavering commitment to the Women’s Division.
WWE’s decision to drop the name came after being contacted by Snickers, the main sponsor of WrestleMania 34, after the online backlash. A thread blew up on Reddit yesterday asking fans to contact Mars/Snickers.
Mars released this statement to Deadspin:
We were recently made aware of the World Wrestling Entertainment Inc’s (WWE) decision to honor a former wrestler during the upcoming WrestleMania 34 event. As a principle-based business that has long championed creating inclusive environments that encourage and empower everyone to reach their full potential, this is unacceptable. We are engaging with the WWE to express our disappointment.
Stephanie McMahon tried to spin it on Twitter as WWE “listening to fans.”
Thank you @WWEUniverse for using your voice. What remains most important is that the “@WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal” will be a historic match and is part of @WWE’s unwavering commitment to our Women’s Division. #WomensEvolution #ChangeTheName
