They probably wouldn't notice but if we get the word out about this on Social Media then we can have people more aware of this.

When I first read about this stuff a few yrs ago, I was disgusted and amazed at how history can be revised despite knowing WWE is great at it. For the reasons TheGreatShowtime mentioned as well as her lack of drawing power, Moolah isn't in the WON HOF. Matter of fact, Meltzer was going to put her when he initially putting it together and several in the industry advised him not to. He frequently has "Man please" tweets when folks praise her.

Definitely will drop the developmental thread eventually. It's been on my mind for awhile, and with the current state of NXT, it might be worth doing it soon.

On a side note, I just noticed the dude next to Dwayne in the clapping gif looks like Lavar Ball :russ:

You really have to be a special kind of tough to survive in the wrestling business, especially back then. The industry stories make it sound like a living nightmare.

I never knew any of this stuff about Moolah but I heard she was doing some down low sexual shyt before. fukk her and I hope she's rotting in hell. The one thing Orton ever did for humanity was trying to break Moolah's neck with that RKO.

I also have to give @TheGreatShowtime credit for these threads. I don't always agree with them (Undertaker) but he's consistently making entertaining and informative pieces with something to talk about and deep research. :salute:

normally with these @TheGreatShowtime threads I enjoy em cause of the comedy and accuracy but this one was not funny at all and depressingly accurate

Moolah was born in South Carolina during the peak of the racism era but i'm still thoroughly disgusted at how she treated that beautiful black woman :supascust:

Sweet Georgia Brown, Racism & Moolah's Sexual Exploits:
Let's move on to Moolah's dealings with women wrestlers. We'll start out with Sweet Georgia Brown. This is an incredibly sad story, and it frustrates me that it's gone unnoticed.

Sweet Georgia Brown was an African American female wrestler that wrestled in the 1960's. Sweet Georgia Brown's real name was Susie Mae McCoy. Susie was looking to get a better life for her child and her 11 brothers and sisters. When she wasn't cleaning houses, she made an effort to go get trained to be a wrestler at Moolah's school. Women's wrestling started popping off in the late 1950's/early 1960's. Also, African American wrestling was starting to become a bigger hit too. So, Moolah & her equally disgusting husband at the time (Buddy Lee) had a potential budding superstar in their hands.

You want to know how they promoted Sweet Georgia Brown? They used these actual quotes in the newspapers/radio/television promotions:

  • She was a "rags to riches" story :mjpls:
  • "No more pots and pans for Georgia and no more long hours in the South’s tobacco and cotton fields." :mjpls:
  • She was “a credit to her race” who was now enjoying “the pleasures and luxuries that money earned by being a girl wrestler could bring.” :mjpls:
Over the course of Sweet Georgia Brown's time with Moolah & Buddy Lee, she was humiliated in front of her family, raped and forced to become a drug addict. From her time with Moolah, she also gave birth to three children. There's a strong theory that those children were a product of rape, potentially from Moolah's husband. Those kids grew up mixed race at the height of the Civil Rights movement, so they were shunned by both blacks & whites. The money that was promised to Sweet Georgia Brown ended up only being a small percentage of what was promised. They told her she'd only be paid in cash and forbid her from opening a bank account. Moolah basically ruined this entire woman's life and livelihood. Sweet Georgia Brown eventually left the business & lived out her life in fear of men and white people.

Yet, Moolah is given praise by the African American female wrestlers of today on a regular basis. Are you fukking kidding me?

If you want to read more about Sweet Georgia Brown, I recommend this article, which I got most of the information from:

Baby of Sweet Georgia Brown

A large blue Cadillac pulled up in front of the McCoy house in Cayce. A rear door opened and out stepped Sweet Georgia Brown, an elegant women in the most beautiful dress that Barbara had ever seen.

The family gathered around the Cadillac as it cooled off from the highway, emanating the smell of leather and wax. Then a white couple emerged from the front seat. They seemed almost as out of place in the McCoy’s neighborhood as their showboat of a car.

Barbara is still visibly awestruck when she talks about her mother on that day. “I can still remember how beautiful she was,” Barbara recalls. “I remember thinking, ‘This is my mama.’ I was so happy that she was home.”

Barbara sat on her mother’s lap and time stood still. Everything about her mama was different. There was the smell of fine perfume and soap, and the professionally styled hair. When her mama stood up, she carried herself differently than the people of Cayce. She was like somebody from television.

Then the white woman told Susie Mae it was time to get back in the car and get to their destination, reminding her that they were only passing through Columbia on their way to another show. Susie Mae told the woman that she wanted more time with the children and insisted that there was plenty of time to get to their destination.

Barbara watched as the woman struck Susie Mae, dragging her to the car and pushing her inside. Barbara grabbed her mother’s legs and was pulled along screaming until an uncle scooped her up. There was much shouting on all sides, and then Barbara’s grandfather intervened, poking his finger in the white woman’s face and unleashing a wrath never seen before by the 6-year-old.

“He told her, ‘You’re around a bunch of black folk and the river is just down below that path. You could disappear and they would never find you.’”

And like a getaway car in a poorly executed abduction, the Cadillac sped away, blowing fumes and leaning heavily through a corner at the end of the street. Susie Mae was on her way back to the wrestling circuit. She wasn’t seen again in Cayce for nearly a year.

Susie Mae reacted to her forcibly abbreviated visit with her family with the same stoic attitude that she reserved for many other things in her life, Barbara would later learn. The initial frustration gave way to the understanding, “That’s just the way things are.”

“She thought that’s what you’ve got to do to survive,” Barbara says now. “She knew she was being used; she knew from the beginning that she was being lied to, but she was a black woman in the ‘50s.”

Sad Homecoming

Years passed, and in 1972 Susie Mae McCoy came home for good. Her family treated her coldly, her children now recall. Her brothers and sisters were shocked and angry to learn that there were no savings. They concluded that it all had been a scam. Many of them chalked it up to dealing with white people.

Moolah went on to organize lady’s wrestling for Vince McMahon Sr., single-handedly determining who wrestled and where, and who won the matches.

Barbara asked about the white couple that brought her mother home in 1964. Susie Mae explained that they were Moolah and Buddy Lee. Moolah told Free Times last week that the event in front of the McCoy home never took place. She says she “never had a cross word” with Susie Mae.

But the McCoy family tells a different story. It seems that whatever happened on the wrestling circuit frightened the family into silence for decades.
