Good Points: when i took it back to the shop to get my money back.
Bad Points: stick to your Day-job Moolah.
General comments: After the success of Mick Foley's first autobiography it seems that everybody associated with the pro wrestling business is now writing their tales of the squared circle. Sadly, while Foley's book was excellent, the majority of these wrestling books are cheaply put together pieces of lies, fluff and self-promotion. You can add Lillian Ellison's name to this list, although to be technical, the actual name would be Fabulous Moolah. Moolah is one of those people who got famous by being around for so long, that everyone would just assume there must be something special about her. This book, however, shows just how conceited and deluded she is when it comes to her place in wrestling history. To read these pages you would think that wrestling begins and ends with Moolah. Well, women's wrestling nearly did end BECAUSE of Moolah, but that's another story....All in all, yet another ... cash-in on the wrestling boom

Perhaps most surprising is how very few new or unique photographs illustrate this bio on one of the most flamboyant performers of all-time--male or female.
If you're a hard core wrestling fan expecting/ ...
