Babs, Karen Huge, and now the Fabulous Moolah




"Lillian Ellison, aka The Fabulous Moolah was (and remains) one of the prime figures in the history of Women's professional wrestling, and without her, that history would be drastically altered. Much like Lou Thesz, Bruno Sammartino, Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan often "carried" the world of wrestling on their shoulders as legitimate superstars, The Fabulous Moolah was the representative of the female version of pro wrestling for some 30 years, and is arguably the greatest Women's champion to ever wrestle. Moolah was talented and knowledgeable, devious and vicious, courageous yet cowardly, and she could "work" the crowd like few others, male or female. In other words, she possessed all of the qualities it takes to be a champion pro wrestler… "

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullah

Mullahs are Islamic clergy who have studied the Qur'an and the Hadith and are considered experts on related religious matters.

Mullahs are considered to be able to give direction and make judgments based on their religious studies.

"Mullah" derives from Urdu mulla through Persian, originally from Arabic mawla, meaning "master, friend". The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica pointed out that Arabic maula was a term which originally expressed the legal bond connecting a former owner with his manumitted slave, both patron and client being called maula.

Under Islam a mullah is a learned man, a teacher, a doctor of the law of Sharia. In India the term is applied to the man who reads the Qur'an, and also to a Muslim schoolmaster. The Encyclopedia Britannica noted prophetically in 1911

"In countries like Afghanistan the mullahs exert an influence over the populace which sometimes rivals that of the amir himself, and they have been responsible for many disturbances in Kabul."
