American Bad Ass Taker at WM?
 
After WWE announced plans to hold the first-ever Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania on 4/8 in New Orleans, there had been an upsurge of negative responses online to WWE's use the late Lillian Ellison's ringname. Following Ellison's death in 2010, a number of heinous allegations were made, regrding how Ellison allegedly treated trainees and female wrestlers in her troupe when she controlled the women's pro wrestling scene.
