* HostilityOnTheSet:
** Wendi Richter had no love for Moolah, calling her "the mistress of cheap heat". She was still taking a percentage of Wendi's money even after she started working for WWF and, after she appealed to Vince [=McMahon=] to get it to stop, Moolah nearly broke her back in a match by going too hard in a Boston Crab.
** Most of the other women interviewed for the ''Lipstick & Dynamite'' documentary openly trash talk her and her politicking.

* {{Promoted Fan|boy}}girl: She chose the name "Moolah" because she loved money. It was usually the prime motivation for whatever she did, but "Moolah" ''was'' an apartment wrestler before turning pro.
* TroubledProduction: Moolah had a crippling effect on U.S. Women's Wrestling. She held the title for way too long (thanks to dubious politicking and other exchanges of favors) and made herself the Alpha and Omega of women's wrestling, only creating talent in order to tear them down herself later on. There's also the fact made her trainees pay room and board, took a large cut of their earnings, forbade them from having bank accounts in their own names, and conspired many other ways to keep them poor and dependent. The final insult: she torpedoed the WWF careers of the Glamour Girls and Jumping Bomb Angels, although in that latter case the dispute is whether or not it was ultimately a good thing. Some liked the tag team division or and wanted to see more of Leilani Kai and such. Others are just glad Vince didn't get his fingers in the Japanese industry for too long. In the case of earnings, if she really was taking 25% from women working for Girl Wrestling Enterprises, then she was slightly-less evil than Billy Lee, who took 50%.
