In addition to a classy video package tribute to Fabulous Moolah on last night's Raw, WIS-TV's News 10 in Columbia, South Carolina ran a story on the passing of the Fabulous Moolah which featured Mae Young promising to wrestle when she is 100. "Vince [McMahon] promised that we could have a wrestling match on our 100th birthday. She won't make it, but I will make it for her." You can read more of the article here.
