Based on Steph's recent tweet, not surprised there was also a lot of backlash internally over using Moolah's name. Triple H already made it clear in the past he wants nothing to do with Moolah's name for the Women's Revolution. |

And no, I don't condone any of the horrible shit Moolah did, but there are other female competitors it could've been renamed for.
Tell me you wouldn't pop for the Chyna Memorial Battle Royal. |

Someone will win it and claim it was for blah blah and then it will be for that person each year going forward.

Yeah fuck off Steph, your sponsor basically asked you "what the fuck is this shit" once they got wind of Moolah's antics and you backed off, then turned it into some opportunity to say it was the "wwe universe voice being heard". They never miss a trick to peddle this "we listen to the fans" bullshit when nothing could be further from the truth. |

Since WWE was too lazy to name it after someone else, they should just have honored the greatest wrestler ever Vacant. The Vacant Still Alive Women's Battle Royale.
Championships won just counting Vacant's WWE career: 2x WWE Women's champ, 2x NXT Women's champ, 1x Divas champ, & 1x Smackdown Women's champ. |

According to the Observer, one of the side effects of Moolah's name getting dropped was Hogan's possible return is a lot less likely to happen due to his own negative PR baggage.
Same for several others who could cause PR problems for sponsors. Quote:

Rumor going around the net is Vince was solely responsible and demanded the match to be honored after the Fabulous Moolah. Was livid it had to be changed because of fan backlash and that the backlash actually managed to affect sponsors.
Same rumor hinted WWE is wary of generating any more controversy until the next tv contract is done and then Vince can go right back into not giving a fuck about the fans or the media for his decisions. |

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 spin our terribly insensitive decisions because we really don't give a shit in order to retain sponsors.

What are the chances - given they were smart enough not to honour her for the tournament last year - that they knowingly used Moolah’s name to get the (bad) publicity in order to parlay it into good publicity of changing the name?

I think WWE making the change is silly. I don't agree with naming it after her but at least stick with your decision. Makes WWE look dumb and makes fans think they can change things just by complaining on the internet.

If anything, Vince/WWE was probably banking on the backlash having no teeth or sponsors/media not caring because of wrestling's low image in the main stream. Would have opened the door for bringing Hogan and others with questionable reputations back into the company's graces. |

WWE is dumb and has gone with that as a narrative, as opposed to "we really don't give a shit about women and this is a big PR campaign because guys like fapping to female MMA stars."

Vince is probably going to name one of his XFL teams the "New York Moolah".
