The Fabulous Moolah, a four-time WWE Women's Champion and a five-time NWA Women's Champion, has been accused over the years of essentially being a pimp to younger women's wrestlers back during her prime, taking advantage of them and screwing others out of work and pushes, among other allegations.
It appears the backlash has gone step futher from Twitter posts, as now fans started a petition to have the match cancelled or at least renamed. The petition has over 3k signatures and counting as of this writing.
Below are more reactions of the Moolah announcement on Twitter:

Yup, naming it after Moolah is pretty incredible.#MoolahFacilitatedRape— Tim Wolf (@Smugtimw) March 13, 2018
Moolah is the very reason why it took so long for wom'n's wrestling to recover. It's appalling that you'd have to be in a match named after this awful person.— Jack W (@JackWIII) March 13, 2018
I'm ashame of you for supporting this. Moolah was nothing but an abuser.— Michael P. Williams (@The_MPW) March 14, 2018
I'm sad for you hugely talented and having to have your name linked with the likes if Moolah— Joanne Chapman (@SensationalJo) March 13, 2018

I am a fan @CarmellaWWE , but even if you don't do it publicly, you should take a stand against this. I guess all the recent movement towards women being treated better is forgotten about bc @VinceMcMahon likes Moolah?— FrankieNYC (@FrankieNYC_Biz) March 13, 2018
Hey Carmella, I get why you're forced to write this garbage but Moolah was hardly the original and was a deplorable excuse for a human being. I'm happy you women are getting this opportunity but having it named in Moolah's honor is pretty gross.— Sandro (@supersandro) March 13, 2018
She was a pimp who drugged her students so Mella needs to do her research before standing up and celebrating a woman like this, because she did nothing for Women's empowerment #RAW @WWE #WWE #Wrestlemania #Wrestlemania34 #Timesup— Jessie McFadden (@JessTheBud) March 13, 2018
Moolah represents the woman's division? That must be why it took 40 years for the women's division to get the respect it deserved? She took it to a dark place. Trail Blazers like Madusa, Trish, Lita, Beth and yourself MADE the woman's division what it is!— Darren Allen (@thedarrenallen) March 13, 2018
Please stop. Please don't enable this garbage. You in all your wrestling family glory, should know she was the worst possible thing to happen to women in wrestling. Don't advocate this.— Johnny Biscuits (@extrahamplease) March 13, 2018

I know that this is something you were presumably told to Tweet, but yeah. I hope this article gets passed around the entire locker room
im huge fan of yours so i have to ask this... do you actually know what moolah did to female wrestlers???— Luccifer ???? (@LucciBlxck) March 13, 2018
She legit pimped our talent. She was a pimp and that's not even the worst part of her. The drugging and sexual assault of prospective talent that she allegedly did with her husband is inexcusable.— Tom Sherlock (@judgefunkyboy) March 13, 2018
You must know what Moolah did to many up and coming female wrestlers. Shame on you. You should be standing up for women, not celebrating abusers of women. #TimesUp— Selby (@magicgrl111) March 13, 2018
Unbelievable let Mae Young have your thoughts today without bringing that monster with her.— Snack Frost (@damujah) March 12, 2018
Moolah, the known sex trafficker/pimp/drugger of women 'under her wing,' celebrated during #WomensHistoryMonth Amazing. The blind eye this company turns towards stuff like this never fails to amaze me.— SD Leader (@sethleader) March 12, 2018
Preaching the #WomensEvolution when you're taking the spotlight away from an actual wrestler at #Wrestlemania + giving praises to a terrible human being like Moolah, who took women's wrestling hostage for decades & destroyed many careers. Way to go Steph. You can be proud. ????— Jonathan (@JonathanTurbide) March 12, 2018
@WWE she used other women as sexual pawns to ensure her safety and position. How DARE you honor her in this way.— GLITTER GLOW STICK (@illinoisemakers) March 13, 2018
Naming it after a woman who pimped out her students and saying she "empowered women". She did the polar opposite. Mae Young deserves this way more.— Doc McThuggins (@thezackmorgan) March 13, 2018

Yeah...not too enthused. A battle royal celebrating a tyrant who pimped out her wrestlers to men? Really? You DO realize we're not stupid and know how to read, right? We know Moolah's ACTUAL history and personality. You couldn't have picked Chyna or Mae Young or Sherri Martel???— ??????????????!! (@PhoenixJustice) March 13, 2018
