Here's a blast from the past. (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/11/04/moolah.obit/index.html)
Who's next, Bruno? (assuming he's still around)

What do you know. A wrestler that actually died from old age. Something new every day....

Yeah, Bruno is still around. There are actually a few of the old guys still hanging in there. I believe Kowalski, Albano, Strongbow ....before the onslaught of steroids i guess.

FS Pittsburgh did an "In My Own Words" special with Sammartino within the last year.
Moolah was active in the ring in recent months - at that age, she still took bumps! Amazing. She got "suplexed" off the top rope by a 300+ pounder in the last year!
Don't give up hope, TFM....Mae Young is still around! :D

An interview with Fabulous Moolah from '05 was broadcast on NPR (Nancy Pelosi Radio) this afternoon. They would probably have it archived on their site.
I'm not afraid to wrestle a man--I know where their weak spots are.

Moolah was one tough broad, and I say that as a compliment. Always gave the fans their money's worth, and din't take any crap from anyone out of the ring either. RIP

Yeah she was very tough and if I remember correct she held the belt for close to 30 years.

No matter the sport, holding a title that long means being tough enough to stay well, healthy, and take the rigors of travel.
