* CatFight: Moolah sold pictures of her students in apartment cat fight poses for Bill Apter's magazines, after Stanley Weston convinced a reluctant Apter that SexSells. This lead to an "Apartment Wrestling" boom in the 1970s. Previously "apartment wrestling" had mostly been something done by bored pro wrestling fans who weren't trying to make money or entertain anyone other than themselves, similar to BackyardWrestling. In fact, prior to Moolah's commercialization of the concept apartment was a misnomer, as the most common participants were stay at home wives in the rooms of their own homes.

** For better or worse, this was how Moolah wrestled most of her matches - in part owing to her age, as it was easier for her to roll around and pull hair than to pull off anything more complicated. Many of her students were taught accordingly, both because it was what she was used to and because she was unwilling to let anyone wrestle better than her. This has been credited with contributing to the stagnation of womens' wrestling in the US for years.

Time of Myths is not applicable to a story about an incident in the history of profesional wrestling. I kept the text but moved it under a different trope.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Enacted against her with some elements of MisplacedRetribution. Before she went to Vince [=McMahon=] Sr.'s Capitol Wrestling Corporation, she was nearly stabbed by an angry fan for kissing the Mexican wrestler The Elephant Boy on the cheek while she managed him. It was said the fan mistook Elephant Boy for a black man and back in the day, fans would often attack wrestlers they didn't like and weren't open to that kind of "interracial" contact.
